Holiday Hello

Hi everyone,

Just stopping in to share a card I created for the Holidays. This is the first time I have used this plaid background stamp and I just love the results.

I started by creating my background with this great Plaid background stamp from Concord & 9th and red ink. The gold lines were done with gold metallic ink.

I distressed the edges of the background piece using a Tim Holtz distressing tool.

The poinsettia and leaf were die cut with Spellbinders dies and the edges were tipped with a gold metallic pen.

Stamped the Simon Says Stamp sentiment onto black cardstock and heat embossed with white embossing powder.

I foam mounted the background panel onto a piece of black cardstock and added all the elements of my card. A little gold gem was added to the centre of the poinsettia.

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

Supplies:

Concord & 9th Plaid Background stamp

Spellbinders Layered Poinsettia die

Our Frienship and All I want is Ewe

Hi everyone,

Well Christmas is fast approaching and I really am not prepared at all. I haven't done any baking or bought any presents. I guess I better get on that. I think this weekend might be a baking weekend, at least for my shortbread cookies.

Anyways I have two cards to share using a lot of different products from a bunch of companies.

On my first card I started by creating my stencil background using a stencil from Newton's Nook Designs and some Distress inks.

I then moved onto creating my trees with a Lawn Fawn die and some glitter cardstock and added a little Distress ink to the edges of the birch trees.
Die cut the snow hill using a Lawn Fawn die and added a stickles glitter to the edge of the hill.
The fox and rabbit were coloured with Copics and I added a little Liquid Applique to their tails.

I adhered all the pieces to my card and then used a Simon Says Stamp large stitched rectangle die to add a frame around everything.

 I created my second card by blending some Distress ink for the background and die cut the piece with an MFT Die-namics die. The tree border was die cut with a Lawn Fawn die and the trees were coloured with Copics to which I added some Nuvo shimmer to add a little sparkle.

The sheep were coloured with grey tone Copics. I added a red stiched hillside, a little mistletoe sprig, the sentiment and the glitter was added to the whole card using Simon Says Stamp snow stencil.

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

Little snowmen Christmas

Hi everyone,

I can't believe it's December already and I haven't even begun to think about Christmas. I don't even have any lights outside yet. Maybe tomorrow.

Anyways here's a card I created using some Mama Elephant stamps and a Studio Katia die.

I started by stamping and Copic colouring all the cute little snowmen  and adding Nuvo shimmer pen accents here and there.

I set the stamped images aside and started on my background. I used 2 different colours of Distress inks and blended them onto the piece and adding some water droplets. I used the Dotted Patterns die from Studio Katia to cut out the piece and an embossing folder from Sizzix/Hero Arts was used on the front of a top folded card. I foam mounted the blended die cut piece onto the card and then started to add my little snowmen filling each circle.

The sentiment from Simon Says Stamp was silver glitter embossed onto small strips of black cardstock. Added the sentiment pieces with foam tape and that completes my card.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
