Warm Winter wishes

Hi everyone,

Well it's the last day of 2019 and I have finished this year off with a Zumba class this morning and managed to squeak in my last card for the year. Woo Hoo! 

I started by creating my background by blending a couple of colours of Distress oxide inks onto a white background which I had cut out using a wonky stitched rectangle die. I then applied some Gina K glitter paste using a stencil from Taylored Expressions.

I set that aside to dry and created my large sentiment by diecutting 3 times and layering together and blending some Distress oxide ink over top.

I coloured my cute little rabbit with Copics.

I adhered my panel to a base of patterned cardstock and foam mounted the large die cut sentiment.

The bunny was foam mounted and the tiny winter was heat embossed with white embossing powder.

I added some glossy accents to the tiny flower and added a black gel pen to the nose and eyes.

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

 Hi everyone,

Today I have a card to share using some fun Mama Elephant reindeer stamps.

I started by creating my background by blending 3 different colours of distress inks. I then used a window die to cut out my panel.

I did a bit of watercolouring on the reindeers and tree and the sentiment was stamped on black cardstock and heat embossed with white embossing powder.

The inside panels were accented using a snowfall stencil and some Nuvo glitter paste.

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

Hi everyone,

Today I have 2 cards to share that I created using both the positive and negative from a large snowflake die.

I started by cutting a large panel with a stitched rectangle die and then cut a snowflake from the white piece. I then moved onto die cutting the snowflake from a few different colours of cardstock. I carefully taped all the snowflake pieces together on the back side and then laid them into the snowflake cutout background.

I added foam tape to the back of the panel and adhered it to the card base which was lined with a piece of diagonal stripe patterned paper.

For my second card I die cut the snowflake from a white panel. The background to my snowflake was created by blending 3 different colours of distress oxide inks. I added some white splatters to the panel and adhered it to my card base. I applied foam tape pieces around the edges of the snowflake and turned it into a shaker card using Snow Flurries mix from Taylored Expressions.

Both sentiments are from MFT stamps.

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

Hi everyone,

Today I have a card to share using Altenew's Leaves & Berries stencil.

I applied the stencil to my card and started to blend the berries and leaves with Distress Oxide inks masking off the berries and then the leaves. I laid the stencil back down and added some drops of white paint. I also added some little gold dots on the white background part to add a little extra interest.

I die cut a red scalloped frame and added to the card with some foam tape. The sentiment was stamped and heat embossed with white powder.

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

Hi everyone,

Today I have a card to share using a new stencil from Gina K that I had recently purchased.

I die cut a red cardstock panel using a stitched rectangle die. I then applied white Gina K. Glitz glitter gel. I just love this gel.

I then layered the panel onto a piece of white cardtock and then a piece of black cardstock.

The sentiment is from MFT stamps which was stamped and embossed with white embossing powder.

The whole thing was popped up with some foam tape onto a white card.

Such an easy, quick and festive card.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
