Winter Wonderland

 Hi everyone,

Well it’s somewhat of a bleak and rainy day here. All the leaves are gone, skies are grey (sounds like a song 😂) and until there is a snowfall, rather blahhhh 😕 

Well here’s a nice winter card for today.

I am using new stamp sets from Tim Holtz and Stampers Anonymous and the Stamptember 2022 set with the stencil.

I started with a piece of Kraft coloured card stock and created my masked moon background.

I blended both Uncharted Mariner inks on the top portion of my card and added some Distress Mica stain spray. The snowflakes were stamped over top.

The bottom portion of my card was painted with Picket Fence white paint and then the snow stencil (from Stamptember 2022 and Tim Holtz) over top with Snowfall grit paste.

The 3 trees were stamped with Pine Needles and Walnut Stain Distress inks and heat embossed.

My finished panel was added to a light blue panel added to my card base which I had inked the edges.

I added a stamped sentiment and flicks of white paint and that completes my card.

Thanks so much for stopping by🙏🏻

Winter Wishes

 Hi everyone,

Although the Fall here in Montreal has been absolutely gorgeous everyone knows what comes next so it’s time to move on to creating Winter themed cards. Here’s my first one for this year.

I started by diecuting the plaid background with 2 different shades of blue card stock. I also die cut a metallic silver panel for the very back layer. 

I sprayed the light blue piece with the new Winter Frost mica stain. 

I die cut my sentiment from a piece of white card stock and also a piece of light blue card stock. I inlaid the sentiment letters into my white piece and added a border of striped design tape around the edges.

The leafy pieces were die cut from red card stock to which I added Distress grit snowfall paste.

Before I adhered my panels and pieces together I added some Snowfall grit paste to the edges of my card base which I had coloured with Distress ink.

Well that’s it for my card today and thanks so much for stopping by 🙏🏻

Merry + Bright

 Hi everyone,

Today I have a Christmas tag to share with you.

I started with a small tag which I added my stencil to and covered it with Distress Snowfall Grit paste. After that was dry I then sprayed it with the new Merrymint Distress Mica spray. I also added a little Distress crayon to each of the snowflakes.

I added that to a larger piece of card stock that I cut slightly larger than my tag. To the edges I added the Snowfall paste to the edges and after dry I sponged Peacock Feathers Distress ink over top.

For the little bits of bead accents I took some mini Prills and added Aqua Alcohol ink to them. Not all of them blended with the ink but that’s ok.

I coloured an Idea-ology mini doll with pencils. The sentiment was layered onto a piece of torn card stock sprayed with Cocktail Party Distress mica spray. I added a tiny clip covered in the Snowfall Grit paste to the sentiment piece.

I also added Cocktail Party crayon to the sentiment.

The embellishment at the bottom right was coloured with the Aqua Alcohol ink too.

I took a piece of ribbon and sprayed it with the new Cocktail Party mica spray and fringed the edges.

Well that’s it for my tag and thanks so much for stopping by 🙏🏻

Something Wicked

 Hi everyone,

After watching Tim Holtz’ live last weekend I got to play with the Moon Mask stencils and some Distress spray  inks.

I started with a Distress #8 tag and using 2 Distress sprays and the Moon Mask I created this tag. It was pretty quick and simple but it does take a bit of practice for me with the ink spraying. The bats are from the new Tim Holtz / Stamper’s Anonymous The Scarecrow stamp set.

I also used a few sprays of the new Decayed Distress Mica Stain. It is such a great colour.

The sentiment was stamped and heat embossed with white embossing powder. I used my finger to add some metallic colour to the edges.

I used some gold metallic card stock and an Impresslits folder for the edging under the sentiment. I die cut 31 from black foam and added some Glossy accents over top.

Well that’s it for this quick tag and thanks so much for stopping by 🙏🏻

Trick or treat

Hi everyone,

I just received some of the new Tim Holtz Halloween products and couldn’t wait to use the new Mica Spray stains.

I started by creating my background on a piece of orange card stock to which I added the stencil background with Translucent crackle paste.

When that was dry I sprayed it with some Black Soot spray and blended in with a little water. That way some of the ink was blended into the pumpkin veins if that’s what you call them

Next I die cut the Halloween figures with white card stock and added my and sprayed on some Mica spray colours.

When dry I stamped the piece with the Bubbles stamp and some black ink.

I sprayed another piece of card stock with the sprays and die cut the sentiment. I die cut the sentiment again this time with black card stock, cut it to size and then inlaid the letters back into the empty spots.

I adhered both the sentiment and the Halloween figures directly to my card base. The card panel was also distressed on the edges.

I added some black ink to my card and embossed with clear embossing powder.

I die cut a couple of bats and added them to my card.

Well that’s it for my card and thanks so much for stopping by 🙏🏻
