Happy Friday! Angelica is here today with a pair of gorgeous holiday projects. I love her out-of-the-box color scheme! Also, don’t miss an exciting Save the Date announcement at the end of this post! 😊
Hi friends! Thanks so much for joining me today. I have a fun project to share, focussing on the Pine Blossom stamp set, And Shiplap Builder die.
[imagelinks id=”199″]
I started by picking out a palette of Distress Oxide Ink colors. My mother-in-law was my inspiration, and purple is her favorite color. I used Seedless Preserves, Chipped Sapphire, Wild Honey, and Black Soot on the large flowers, and Dusty Concord for the small flowers. The stems and leaves are Forest Moss, Chipped Sapphire, and Crushed Olive. I used finger daubers to add the ink to the stamps.
The sentiments are also from the Pine Blossom stamp set. I blended Dusty Concord and Milled Lavender Distress Oxide inks onto white card stock, and tapped a bit of ink and paint onto the panels. Once dry, I die-cut them with a Crimped Frame, and mounted them on coordinating card stock.
For the background, I followed directions from Betsy’s recent YouTube Video. I did a blotch blend of Victorian Velvet, Weathered Wood, Dusty Concord, and Milled Lavender Distress Oxides onto inexpensive watercolor paper, and I quickly brushed watered-down white gouache paint with a wide paint brush. Once the panel was dry, I die-cut the Shiplap pieces, and attached them to a panel. I trimmed the panel, assembled the card front, and adhered them to card bases.
I love how this color palette turned out! Purple is not my go-to color for Christmas, but it works, and my mother-in-law is going to love it! I hope I have helped with inspiration using these products together. Thanks so much for joining me!
Before I go, I just want to give you a heads up for our next release! We have some fun new goodies that we’ll be showcasing the week of November 23! Sneak Peeks of our Winter Wanderer collection will begin on Friday, November 20 – just one week from today. I’d love for you to join us!

Angelica, your card is really just so gorgeous! I didn’t think I would like purple for a Christmas card but when I saw yours I was amazed and delighted. Your MIL is going to LOVE it! Thank you, Angelica, for sharing your lovely card and for all the details of how you went about creating it.
Angelica, I always have a hard time blending purples…you have shown some beautiful blends!
Betsy, that save the date has me intrigued; Loving what I see in the background of the graphic.
Thank you for the inspiration Angelica! Encourages me to try some new color combos with the shiplap, although love your purple shades! And I am overdue to break in my Pine Blossom set! Only a year behind here, ha!
So beautiful.
How sweet that your mother-in-law was your inspiration! Thank you so much for sharing the colors you used, it helps to teach me about color combinations. I loved Betsy’s video too and now I’m excited to try different palettes.

Angeica, Love the purple and the Pine Blossoms. Thanks for sharing your beautiful creation.
Truly lovely, Angelica! Thank you for so much inspiration and the step-by-step details. Now I will think of shiplap in brand new ways! Betsy, we are all looking forward to the Winter Wanderer collection with great curiosity! 💗
Just Gorgeous ! Love all the beautiful purple blends !!! I never seem to blend purples without getting them muddy looking. So inspired now !
Wow!!! Wow!!! Wow!!! This card is perfection in every way — even though purple is not a color I reach for very often. At least half of my Christmas cards this year are made with this Pine Blossom set, with at least a dozen color combinations. Looks like I need to try this one out now! Thank you for sharing this beautiful card.
The card is really beautiful!
What an eye-catching card. The colors look stunning! I feel a CASE coming on. 😉
Angelica, your cards are absolutely beautiful! Love the tones of purple you used (one of my fav colours as well). I’m so inspired by your cards today, I must give this a try, and thanks to Betsy for the wonderful video on how to colour the shiplap.

These cards really caught my eye as they look luscious. Also excited about the upcoming winter release.

Beautiful card, Angelica! Love the florals, but your shiplap is stunning!
Unbelievably gorgeous!
