Hi everyone, I have been playing with various Christmas combos using my Christmas bauble stencils and new-ish winter cabin stamps. They are ideal for batch cardmaking, so I have made a few more ‘similar but different’ cards to recent makes - here’s a selection.
I have found that my Card-io bauble stencil is a bit big, so I have made a few one layer cards as the stencil fills a 6” square.
Stamps: Inkylicious Winter Cabin (medium), Stag/Deer set 1; Card-io Small Pine Trees; Visible Image Poinsettia Grunge (sentiment);
Media: Versafine Clair (Nocturnal, Morning Mist, Medieval Blue); Versacolor (Atlantic, Peony, Canary, Green Tea); Sakura Stardust pen (clear); Posca pen (white); Stickles (Stardust);
Tools: Card-io stencil - Vintage Bauble.

This one is another variation on some previous cards I made with a smaller bauble stencil. The method was very similar to card 2 except that I die cut a panel of kraft card to stamp on, then matted onto white pearlescent card and a kraft card blank. I also tried a different method of shadowing the bauble, using a brown Inktense pencil.
Stamps: Inkylicious Winter Cabin (small); Tracy Evans Boutique Design TE23 Winter Delights, TE22 Christmas Wishes, TE18 Decorations;
Media: Versafine Clair (Pinecone, Portobello); Brilliance ink (Moonlight White); Sakura Stardust pens (clear, red); Posca pen (white); Inktense pencil (Bark);
Tools: Tracy Evans Snippet Stencil SS6 Bauble.

Well I think I can truly say I’m all baubled out now! I’ll be back soon with another little batch of Christmas cards - but no baubles or winter cabins in sight lol!
Take care, and thanks for visiting.
Hugs,

Oh I love all three cards. Such a beautiful scene and use of colour. Thanks for playing at CAS on Friday, hope to see you join in with future challenges too. Stay safe and keep crafting!
Wow! All three cards are absolutely beautiful Pauline, you've done an amazing job. I especially love the two white on kraft designs, they are stunning!
Cheers,
Beccy
WOW! LOVE all of these bauble cards. Super versatile Christmas cabin stamp as well as TE's bauble. xxx
All three cards are gorgeous Pauline, beautiful little scenes inside the baubles. The first one is so pretty using those lovely colours but my preference is for the two using kraft card and white- I think they are stunning! Thanks for sharing at Fab'n' Funky

Gorgeous batch of 'same but different' cards - not keen on batch making myself but this way I could cope with. The kraft ones are my favourites but I also like the more colourful one.
Gorgeous cards and love the beautiful stamped scene inside the baubles, love the colours in the sky on the first one.

All three are absolutely beautiful and I find it hard to choose a favorite. I do love the gorgeous colors of the sky on the first but then also drawn to the kraft, brown and white combo.
Beautiful cards, the little cabin looks amazing in these bauble shapes, Cathy x
Oh my goodness, this motive is simply fabulous! It's truly amazing how you've incorporated it into this bauble. I prefer the second version best. I adore the combination of brown and white and I really admire the background. And the oval bauble is just perfect, in my opinion. The little bird is also beautiful and a real eye-catcher.
Thank you so much for participating in the current Everybody Art Challenge!
Hugs, Uschi
Wow, these cards are sooo very beautiful!! I can't say which one I like best...!

Thanks so much Pauline for sharing card #3 with Heart's Quest #80!! I found the little hearts on each side of the top left sentiment!!! I've been really enjoying how you're using your stash of stamps and stencils in different ways to create new card designs!! Keep it up! :)
Love the pretty scene you created inside that bauble and I love your use of kraft cardstock and white. It gives your card a vintage feel. Thanks for joining us at Addicted to Stamps and More!
