August 2026 Woodblock Wednesday Card | Merry Christmas Santa Card

-

  

Hello everyone! I hope y'all are doing well.  Today I am sharing my August 2026 Woodblock Wednesday card.  What is "Woodblock Wednesday", you ask?  Well, it's the day of the week to dust off and ink up a woodblock stamp, and make something with it.  And, on the last Wednesday of the month, my friend Amy celebrates her love of woodblock stamps with a post on her Woodblock Wednesday Instagram page. If you make a card of your own, you can link it to her card HERE by Monday, August 31st at 5am Pacific for a chance to win a small prize.    


I have not had much free time this month but I wanted to make a fun, quick, and easy Christmas card for today.  I think I have achieved everything with this card.  I used the Rectangle Peek-a-Boo Window die from MFT/Die-namics along with "All Tied Up", a woodblock rubber stamp from Gourmet Rubber Stamps.  Sadly, both companies have closed. 

Here's how I made the card:
  • Using red cardstock, I made a top-folding A2 card base. 
  • Using a 4" x 5.25" stitched rectangle die, I die-cut a piece of Christmas striped paper, die-cut the center using the Rectangle Peek-a-Book die, adhered a piece of fun foam to the back, and then adhered this all to the card front.  
  • I stamped "All Tied Up", colored in the image, added some Stickles to Santa's outfit, adhered a piece of fun foam to the back, and then to the center of the card. 
  • I cut a piece of white cardstock (4" x 5.25") and adhered it to the inside of the card for a message. Then I prepared my sentiment on the computer, printed it, die-cut it, layered it, and adhered it to the inside of the card.  



Now it's your turn.  Go grab a woodblock stamp and make something creative. 

Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today.  If you want to see more of my work, come check all of my social media pages:

Introducing Bella Bulb - A Member Of Craft Hoarder's Anonymous

When I was first approached to be part of the StencilGirl/Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge blog hop, I just laughed out loud!  Me?  A craft hoarder?  Duh!  Not only have I been hoarding craft supplies for over 20 years but when I moved here to Brasil from New York City, I took it all with me.  And then I started to hoard Brasilian craft supplies. Okay, I admit it - I AM A CRAFT HOARDER!     For this blog hop, the artists had only two rules - use StencilGirl stencils and then to dig through our craft hoard and use whatever we wanted to use.  I grabbed stencils (duh) sprays, pastes, paints, makeup sponges, lots and lots of BLING, you name it.  Heck, I even grabbed my bag of keyboard letters and some fake eyelashes that were in the hoard.  Told ya, I am a craft hoarder. There is something very freeing about just using stuff from my hoard and making a piece of art.  I did not do much thinking here.  I did know what st...

QKR Stampede Anything Goes Challenge | Slimline Happy Easter Card

  Hello everyone!  It's the 15th of the month and that means that there is a new "Anything Goes" card challenge over on the  QKR Stampede Challenge Blog .   Since Easter is fast approaching I decided to make an Easter card and fell in love with the Happy Easter with Bouquet Digital Stamp .  I knew this would make a beautiful slimline Easter card.   I printed the Happy Easter with Bouquet digital stamp - twice - on a sheet of white cardstock and colored one of them using some GRAF Duo alcohol markers and the Key Lime ultra fine-tip maker from BIC.    Next, I die-cut it using the smaller stitched slimline die from the Slim Stitched Rectangle Die Set from Pink Fresh Studio. Next, I made my card base, 3.5" x 8.5", using a sheet of dark pink/hot pink cardstock to which I adhered a piece of "Easterish" paper to the front and a piece of white cardstock to the inside for a message.   I also layered my Happy Easter on a piece of the sa...
