I’m back again sharing another video as part of my Same But Different Christmas Card Series for 2019. And today I havea theme! I am always inspired by colour and today I thought I would ‘limit’ myself to one (well, kinda lol).
So, I picked ‘Navy’ and that is because I don’t think I have ever made Navy Christmas cards before and I wanted to see what I could do with it. I started with a fun striped background , yes, it’s the stripes again….
Then I got out the Waffle Flower Crafts Pull-Tab Tree, and played. You can watch the ‘how to’ assembly in the video linked below. I created my own design paper with Altenew’s Baroque Motifs,
then added a sentiment on top from the Concord & 9th Very Merry Sentiment Set.
I used the ‘left-over’ stipes to create a simple panel,
with a 2 tone sentiment this time.
My next card has a navy Baroque Motif design and a sentiment from the Festive Poinsettia Stamp Set.
This time I popped it up on a Dotted Swirls debossed background and added a few Pinkfresh jewels (my new fave embellie at the moment).
The next one is probably my fave, I stamped the co-ordinating Waffle Flower Christmas Tree and sentiment and die cut it out.
Then I added it to a MFT Snowfall Vertical background, I think this card would look great in any colour!
My final card uses another sentiment from the Very Merry Sentiments set
and a simple Layered Snowflake from Altenew.
and the cards together
and another…

Oh Therese, I love you commentary as much as your cards!!! You always make me chuckle and that’s a good thing. Thank you for all you do! Happy Holidays!!
I love your in the navy designs, Therese!!! I’m sure that video will float my boat, too! sailing over now!
=]
I would not have picked navy for Christmas card designs but, as you have shown, it works! Love all the cards. I too love your comments during your videos. You bring lots of smiles! The tree construction (folding and taping) looks a bit complicated, but the results are worth it.
Just beautiful. I love the navy with the neutral colors. And the hint of silver is pretty darn perfect.
The navy is so elegant, Therese, and looks great with the fun pop-up trees.
Wow! What a way to finish this series.
As always your cards surprised and inspired me.
Really loved the colour combo that you’ve used today.
One of my best friends favourite colours is navy and this is a perfect match for her.
Cheers
Lisa
The navy and the baroque make very elegant cards. I’ve been thinking about chartreuse as well but sadly the Black Friday budget is obliterated. I like your jingle bells on the stripey card. Hand painted stripes are always a good idea. There’s something soothing about them.
these are fantastic Therese – love that colour scheme
You’re always inspiring, Therese … such a wonderful collection of Christmas cards … they’re each so yummy! That dimensional tree is especially delicious … your favourite is also mine … I do love that word ‘joy’! Hugs, Anita 🙂
Awwww… all good things come to en end (until next year – hopefully ;-P) Amazing series, Therese – you are a card-making superhero. Your ideas are always beautiful and so inspiring. THANK you 🙂
Gorgeous! Surprised you have never made navy Christmas cards.
I LOVE this colour scheme. Definitely going to be giving the navy stripes a go.
