Christmas shaker tag

Hi everyone,

I haven't been posting too much lately as I seem to be all caught up in the Holiday swing of things. I did however have some time to put together a tag using a new Xmas die from Simon Says Stamp. Entering this in both the SSS Anything Xmas Flickrchallenge#33 and also the Wednesday challenge Let it Snow here on their blog.
This can be used as a gift tag or a tree ornament.




I created the sentiment part of the tag first by blending a couple of different inks together and then die cutting the snowflake ornament tag once from the coloured piece and once from white cardstock and layering the two together.
I moved onto cutting the tag by die cutting a piece of white card stock and also a piece of transperency. sheet. Seeing as I was using a large stitched circle die I decided to stitch the two pieces together using some red and white twine. Just before I had completed the stitching I added the various colours of sequins and some silver stars, closed up the stitching and applied the the die tag to the front using some Multi Matte Medium.
Well that's it for today.

OCC Holiday Style Day 11


Hi there,

Well I've had fun over the past 2 weeks with the Online Card Classes Holiday Style but haven't quite found enough time to participate as much as I would have liked to but I do have a card to share for Day 11.
It was a little tricky to photograph though with all the shine.




I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder for the background. I stamped the tree from Hero Arts of a pice of white vellum and added some glue from a Palletts stamp and stick glue pad. Heat set that a little bit and added some Metal leaf in a variegated green colour. I cut around the tree and added it to the background. 
The sentiment was die cut from some turquoise metallic card stock using a SSS die and adhered to the base of the tree. Added some red gemstones and a metallic star and layered the whole panel onto a drank green card base.

Well that's my card.

Pine boughs

Happy weekend everyone,

Here's another card for the OCC Holiday Style from the example in class by Kathy Racoosin. I just love this type of class because to me holiday cards are so much fun to create!


I used an old pine bough stamp that I had from years ago from a company called The Artful Stamper. 
The background was stamped several times using Cosmic Copper and I also used the same ink to ink up the die cut sentiment, stamped sentiment and the large stitched background panel.
I added a few red berries here and there for a little added interest.

Hard to see all the lovely shimmer but trust me it's there in real life:)

That's my card for class.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!

Christmas wishes

Hi everyone,

This week I'm taking the Online Card Classes Holiday Style. I seem to be a little bit behind but managed to do a little catch up today as I had the day off work.
Here's the card I created following Debby Hughes' sample from Day 1 of the class.



I stamped the backgound with various size snowflakes and embossed in silver and white embossing powders. I then applied colours from Koi - Payne's Gray and Butterfly Wing blue from Peerless blending the background.
Added the splatters with Koi - cobalt blue and white using a Hero Arts white dauber ink which I watered down a bit.
I didn't have a long sentiment so I used 2 different words from Lawn Fawn's Baaah Humbug set and cut them apart and angled them on a curve using my Misti tool.
The snowflake border is a Memory Box die and silver embossed.
Added some silver thread and that's it for this card.

Winter fox

Hi everyone,

Well today I have a card to share for a few challenges - the Anything Goes Wednesday challenge at Simon Says Stamps where they are showcasing Lawn Fawn products  http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/wednesdaychallenge/ , the Texture challenge at http://virginiasviewchallenge.blogspot.ca/2015/11/virginias-view-challenge-20.html and also the Warm and Cozy challenge at http://die-cut-divas.blogspot.ca/2015/11/warm-and-cozy.html. There's just something about hot chocolate that makes you feel comfy and cozy😀




I started by dry embossing the large LF snowflakes using a different one for each of the 2 corners of the card. Then I applied SSS ink over the embossing and ran the panel through my die cutting machine adding a stitched border to the panel.

The fox was stamped with black ink, coloured with Copics and then die cut. I added some black dots to the mug and some Perfect Puff to the top of the mug to resemble marshmallows. Added Black Enamel Accents to his nose.
Stamped the sentiment, added some tiny vellum snowflakes and clear Wink of Stella to the fox's scarf and to each of the little snowflakes.

Lawn Fawn cards



Hi everyone,

Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow Canadians and Happy Columbus day weekend to all my American friends. Not too much turkey now.

I have 2 cards today to share for the current sentiment challenge at http://lawnscaping.blogspot.ca/2015/10/lawnscaping-challenge-sentiments.html


The first one was created using the Party Animal stamp and die set. I took various neon inks to stamp the background using the little accent stamps from the set. The fox, balloon and cake were all coloured with Copics and the sentiment is from the same set. I used the bubble from the A Birdie Told Me stamp and die set. The stitched background was cut using a SSS die.


I created the background of my card below the same as the one above but using the accent stamps from the Booyah stamp set. Again I used the SSS die for the stitched background. The sentiment is from an old Impression Obsession stamp set, embossed with white embossing powder and fussy cut. I added some washi tape to the black main panel before adding my stamped panel.

Penguins

Hi everyone,

Here's a card that I created using some of the new Lawn Fawn Holiday stamps and dies.


I created the back panel by slightly blending some SSS Mint ink to soften up the starkness of the white cardstock.
The trees were stamped using a Hero Arts ombre ink pad, the penguins were coloured using various markers and all were cut out using their coordinating dies. 
I stamped the snowball pile, individual snowballs and sentiment using HA soft granite ink. Added some white glitter to the snowhills and clear Wink of Stella to the snowballs.
Layered the whole panel with a sheet of foam to a piece of patterned paper, and that's it.

Thanks a bunch

Happy World Card Making Day everyone,

Well I've had quite a busy work week but managed to find a little time to squeak out a card for the current SSS Wednesday challenge 'Anything Goes' showcasing Clearly Besotted products here.


Simon Wednesday Challenge Blog



I must admit I have had this CB Miniature Floral stamp set for a little while now and never used it but thought it would be perfect for my card.



I first stamped my flower image on watercolour cardstock and started applying my colours. I didn't have the matching die so fussy cut it out. I die cut my 2 different sized frames using a stitched rectangle die and then ran them through my Cuttlebug using an embossing folder. 
Stamped my sentiment on my background base of green cardstock, added some tiny silver beads and assembled my shaker.
I added the flower popped up with some foam tape.
Well that's it.

Baby bear

Hi everyone,

One of my recent purchases was a stamp and die set from My Favorite Things called Birthday Bears.
I thought this set was perfect to create a baby card which I really don't do very often. I did make it into a shaker card which I do loving doing. I find they are such fun!



I created the background first using a circle die and some patterned paper. I then stamped the bear and balloons and coloured them using Copics.
Before assembling the card I decided to stamp the word 'Bebe' over the background piece of the shaker. Before I knew it I had glued all the pieces in place for my shaker but forgot to include the accents on the word bebe. Oh well! I'm sure they'll appreciate it anyways :)
I added some glossy accents to the green balloon and clear Wink of Stella to the 2 other balloons.

Happy beginning of the work week (for some of us) 😕
I have a quick post for I card that I created using some of the new Lawn Fawn stamps and dies - called Booyah!

Stamped the sentiment from the same set in black ink and clear embossed.
Applied a strip of polka dot paper down the side and that's it.
Done!

Happy dots

Hi everyone,

Just popping in to share a card that I created for the current Wednesday Die Crazy challenge at SSS here featuring WPlus9 products.




First I stamped my sentiment with Versamark ink and embossed in white. I then applied my watercolour background using Peerless Watercolors. I used a stitched die to cut the panel to size and also a stitched die for the entire background panel. Die cut the happy sentiment first with polka dot paper (Doodlebug) and then white and finally black. Layered all 3 pieces together staggering them so that I could have a somewhat 3D effect.
Before adhering my watercolour and sentiment panel to the background piece I first added a few flicks of silver Distress paint.
Popped the whole piece up with a large piece of white fun foam and applied to my card base.
Well that's my card.

You color my world!

Hi everyone,

It seems I am kinda stuck in the Lawn Fawn stage at the moment. I just love their cute stamps and dies. This set is no exception.


I started by finding the centre of my card and figuring exactly where I would place each crayon. Once I had that figured out I stamped each crayon and coloured using Copics. It's not exactly perfectly lined up but not bad :) I think!
I don't have a box of crayons in front of me but I'm sure there is a white crayon in each box. There has to be so I decided to leave one white and then popped it up with a foam dots so it would stand out.
Thought it would be fitting to also stamp a large C on the label of each crayon so there it is.
Stamped the sentiment to which I added small white dots to the word color for a little extra interest.
The whole panel was popped up with a large piece of fun foam and mounted offset against a piece of gold corrugated paper and then onto a kraft cs base. Added a little heart accent to the centre.

Well that's it. Enjoy!

Geometric birthday!

Hi there,


Today I have a card that I created for the current Geometric challenge at Virginia's View Challenge here



I started by creating the background with a Memory Box die and white cardstock. Added the die cut piece to a black background and then set to colouring each of pieces with various Distress Inks.
Once I had applied all the ink colours I added them back to the background like a puzzle.
I die cut the sentiment several times and layered Gold metallic card stock to the top layer.
Added some sequins and layered the whole panel on to a card base.

christmas reindeer

Hi everyone,

Well I'm back as promised with another card using the new Lawn Fawn stamps and dies for the holidays. I am just loving these stamps, dies and papers. Soooo much fun!!!!!



I started out by colouring and die cutting all my images. (Don't tell anyone but the poor little reindeer had to sacrifice his antlers for a cute little hat). 
Once I had all my elements together I assembled the card using red cardstock for the base and die cutting the background panel and the oval panel using stitched dies. I then applied a piece of vellum using the Lawn Fawn Forest Border die to the bottom of the oval. I decided it needed a little sparkle so I added some Art Glitter adhesive and sprinkled on some glitter. What happened when it dried is that is created a little ripple effect in the vellum making it look like snow.
I added some black Enamel accents to the reindeer's nose, eye and hoofs. The pom pom on his hat is some White Perfect Puff which when heated puffs up. No other way to say that!! I have had this bottle for ages but it certainly comes in handy.
Also added some clear Wink of Stella to his hat. Stamped the sentiment and that's my card.

Ellie


Hi everyone,

I have had a lot of time in my craft room lately (having a 4 day weekend) so I have found some extra time to create.
Here's a card for the current challenge at Avery Elle here

Challenge 28

My card:





I usually reach for a white card base but this challenge calls for a non-white card base so I used Kraft.
The stamp set I used is called Ellie which I used for the entire card. I didn't have the matching dies so I had to fussy cut everything. I used Copics to colour all the stamped images but the grass is cut from using a Lawn Fawn die and Doodlebug paper. 

Well that's all for this card. So easy and quick.

Thanks for stopping by.

Sweet summertime sunshine

Hi everyone,


I have a card to share that I am entering in 2 challenges: here and here.

The A2Z Scrapbooking challenge is to create a shaker card (I love making shakers - they're so much fun) and the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge is to make your card colourful showcasing Doodle products which I used in my card.



I started by die cutting the 2 frames from Doodlebug papers. In the same paper pack is the lovely bold expression rainbow panel so I die cut that piece and backed it with a white panel stamped with neon ink using a large HA background stamp.
Created my shaker and then applied all the frames to a yellow top folded glitter card.
To finish I added a glitter die cut sentiment and that's it.
Done!

Halloween raccoon

Hi everyone,

Well as promised I am back to share another Halloween card using some of the new products from the latest Lawn Fawn release.

Here's my card:


I started by die cutting a large stitched circle and blending in 2 different colours of Distress inks. I had already previously coloured my little raccoon here and it was just a matter of adding some extras to him.
I gave him a pirate hat, eye patch and a little pumpkin to hold onto. I added some Stickles to his eye patch and Wink of Stella to the skull and cross bones on his hat. I die cut the little birdie and gave her a little witches' hat.
Then I randomly stamped the black background with the little spider and some Versamark ink and then added some black glitter embossing powder.
Die cut the striped panel using the same circle die and a grassy border die. Popped that up with some foam tape and tucked the raccoon in behind. Added the stamped sentiment and some more spiders on the orange panel and gave the spiders a finishing touch to their little bodies with some glossy accents.
Added some twine and that's it.

Ghoul's night out

Hi everyone,

I am just loving the new release this week from Lawn Fawn so when my order came in I couldn't wait to play with some of the new stamps and dies. This card was created using the new set called Booyah. Soooo much fun!!!!


I first started by creating a couple of different masks using their Puffy Cloud borders die set . I applied distress ink with my ink blending tool interchanging the masks as I moved each mask down the card as I created the background. I applied the ink heavier in some spots and a little lighter in others until I had the desired effect.

Next I moved onto creating my cute little ghosts by adding a little shading to each of them with a grey Copic marker. Die cut the different hats and accessories to go with each ghost and coloured them with Copics also.
Stamped the cute sentiment with white embossing powder on vellum and used one of the cloud dies to cut it out.
Once the whole card was assembled I decided to add some little stars from the set with Versamark ink and clear embossing powder. Maybe they are a little hard to see but they do add a little accent to the card base. Well I guess I couldn't quite leave it alone so I added some flicks of water and some washi tape across the bottom of the card.

Well that's it. This set is so versatile and mixes and matches with the other Lawn Fawn sets.

Stay tuned for more projects using some of the new products from this release.

Thanks for stopping by!

wishing we lived closer

Hi there,

I must say that I have never been one to use too many soft pastel colours on my cards. Well that changed this week with the current SSS Flickr challenge #26 to Play with Pastels.

The sentiment is for my daughter and fiance who just left after visiting for a week. I miss them!

Here's my card:



I pulled out a Color Box queue ink set called Rainbow Sherbet. The colours are nice and soft and perfect for this card.

I used a stencil and daubers to apply the different colours for the background. When I was happy with that I stamped the sentiment in black ink. The whole panel was die cut using a large rectangle die. I created the sentiment by scribbling a Copic marker onto some cardstock and then cutting out the die. I cut the sentiment again but this time from some fun foam to give it some added dimension.I thought that it still needed a little extra something so I ran a piece of washi tape across the bottom of the panel

Added a light blue pearl and that's it. Card is done!!

smile

Hi there,

Just popping in to share a card that I created for the current sketch challenge here.
Here's the sketch


and here's my card



I started out by cutting the green panel to the desired shape and thought it would add a little interest so I created a border to highlight my sentiment by die cutting the lower edge using a stitched border die.
The sentiment was created by colouring a piece of white cardstock with 2 different Copic colours. I then die cut the sentiment so the top portion would have the colours and then applied clear embossing ink to the lower portion and added some glitter embossing powder. 
I die cut the butterfly with white vellum and then coloured the backside with Copics here and there as to not colour the whole back. It sort of gives a little splotchy effect.

Well that's it.

Thanks for stopping,

Happy thoughts

Hi everyone,


Today I have a card to share that I created for these 2 challenges:




Here's my card:







I stamped the large background using a Versamark ink pad but it came out a little pinky. As it turns out I didn't quite clean my stamp very well the last time I used it. I thought that it might look nice as a subtle background so I left it the way it came out and heat embossed it with some clear embossing powder.
I then stamped and die cut the crayon and coloured it with Copics and added some glossy accents to the label part.
Die cut the sentiment panel with black card stock using a stitched die and stamped the sentiment with Versamark and heat set with some white embossing powder.
I added a few sequins and that's it.

Thanks for stopping by,

Have a Ball!

Hi everyone,

With just a couple of hours left in the challenge at  Lawnscaping here


I thought I would share my card.




I must explain that I had the matching stamp set to this die at my local stamp store to be picked up but I didn't have wheels today so I was out of luck.
I did however have the die to go with the stamp set "Colour My World" so used that instead.
I started by die cutting the crayon 5 times and with the card stock still in the die coloured each one individually with Copics. I added a line at the top and bottom of each crayon with a fine tip black marker.
Added the faces to each crayon using the Sweet Smiles stamp set.
Die cut a border using the Lawn Fawn Cloudy Borders die and another strip with LF papers.
Stamped the sentiment also from the Sweet Smiles set and added some LF twine.

Well there you have it. It would have been much simpler if I had actually had the stamp set. Oh well I made due.

Thanks for stopping by,

Supplies:
