happy holidays

Hi everyone,

I have another card today using a stencil. This one is from Tim Holtz which I absolutely love.
Also entering this in the current Simon Says Flickr challenge #109 where the theme is to 'Let Your Stencils Shine'.



I started by applying 4 different colours of ink to sections of the card being careful not to overlap any colours by using some masking paper.

Once I had finished applying all the colours to the stencil I ran the piece through my die cutting machine using a stitched border die to add a little interest to the sides of my card.

Stamped the sentiment on a piece of black cardstock and embossed with white embossing powder.

I popped the panel onto a red card using foam tape and added the sentiment also with foam tape.

I added some Stickles to the berries and that completes my card.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Supplies:

Tim Holtz Festive stencil
Lawn Fawn Stitched Borders die
Simon Says Stamp Happy and Be 3 x 4" stamp sets
Simon Says Stamp White embossing powder
Distress Inks - Peeled Paint, Mowed Lawn, Vintage Photo

Winter Snowflakes

Hi everyone,

Today I have a card to share that I will be entering in the Simon Says Stamp Flickr challenge #109 where the theme is to 'Let your stencils shine".



I used a pretty delicate Memory Box stencil call Winter Snowflake Lace on Desert Sand cardstock with Memories Unicorn pigment ink and a small finger dauber.

Once I applied the ink to the entire stencil I set that aside and created my sentiment using only the words from a Simon Says Ornament die and some gold shiny cardstock.

When the background was dry I die cut the panel with a large stitched rectangle die.

I added some Pretty Pink Posh crystals and applied the sentiment. The whole panel was then mounted onto a piece of black cardstock and then added to my card base.

Well that's it for my card and thanks so much for stopping by.

Supplies:

Memory Box Winter Snowflake Lace stencil
Simon Says Stamp Merry Christmas Ornament die
Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangle die
Pretty Pink Posh Buttercream crystals
Memories Unicorn Pigment ink pad
Gold cardstock

Christmas reindeer



Hi everyone,

Today's card features the Neat and Tangled background die and a cute little Mama Elephant reindeer.




I started off by creating my background using Distress Oxide ink. Next I made a stencil from the background die using a piece of heavy cardstock.
I placed the stencil over my inked background and applied textured embossing powder from Lawn Fawn.

While that was drying I went on to stamping my cute reindeer and colouring with Copics and adding a little detail with a white gel pen.

I added the image with foam tape and stamped the sentiment with black ink.

I used a scalloped die and some patterned paper to create the frame for my card.

Added glossy accents to the reindeer's hoofs and nose and some to the lights and that finished my card.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Neat and Tangled Falling Circles Cover Plate die

Halloween cards

Hi everyone,

Well I had a few days away in North Conway, New Hampshire checking out the leaves and they were just beautiful.

With the falling leaves comes Halloween which I absolutely love so I have 2 cards to share.
For my first card I made a Distress Oxide Ink background using Spiced Marmalade. I die cut the whole panel using a large stitched rectangle die.

The Halloween scene was die cut using a die from Impression Obsession and some black cardstock. I added the scene to the background using some foam tape. I used sentiment stamps from both Simon Says Stamp and Lawn Fawn.
I added a few black sequins and some Glossy Accents to the windows of the house to resemble glass. Well that completes this card.



For the card below I started by creating my background on a piece of watercolour cardstock by blending Wilted Violet and Blueprint Sketch Distress inks. I added some splatters of water to the piece. I die cut the panel using a Scalloped rectangle die.



The raccoon and cat were stamped and coloured with Copics. Die cut the fence using an Impression Obsession die. I used a Scalloped die and some black patterned paper for the background piece.

The sentiment was stamped on black cardstock and white embossed.

Well that's it for my cards and thanks so much for stopping by.

Happy Haunting

Hi everyone,

Today I have a card to share using some cute little images from Mama Elephant.

I die cut the background panel and then die cut three circles out of the panel.
The images were coloured using Copics and the ink blending behind each image was done with Distress Oxide inks.

I stamped the sentiment onto some black cardstock and heat set with white embossing powder.
I used a Studio Katia stitched rectangle die to create the black border around my card.


Stamped the little boo sentiment and added it to each image. I then added some clear round accents and that completes my card.

Bunny garden

Hi everyone,

Today's card features the cute bunny from Hello Bluebird. When I saw this set I just couldn't resist. I especially love little McGregor lying down. He makes me smile:)



I Copic coloured all the images and fussy cut them out as I did not purchase the matching die. I set them aside to go on to create my background panel.

The background was created using a stencil for the clouds and some Distress ink. I then blended some light brown ink to the lower part to resemble earth or dirt. Die cut the panel using a stitched rectangle die.

I used some patterned paper to create the grassy area using a Lawn Fawn die.

I added a piece of patterned paper to my card front and then went on to adding the layers and images to my card using foam tape.

Some glossy accents were added to the watering can to give it the effect of  shiny metal.

Well that's it for my card and thanks so much for stopping by.
