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.

Hi everyone,

Well I haven't been here to post for a while as it seems that I have pulled some muscles in my upper back/shoulder area which is quite painful even to type or craft. This is not good for me as I have been sidelined from exercising which is something I do everyday. Zumba, Pilates, Yoga and Power Walking all on hold. UGH!!!!! Help is on the way though with some physio. Anti-inflammitories and Tylenol are helping out a bit but oh man oh man this is extremely painful. Wish I knew how I did this so I could avoid it in the future.

Anyways I have 2 cards to share that I had previously made before all of this happened using some Newton's Nook Designs products.

I used the Evergreens stencil which is awesome on both of my cards. The first card I started with an aqua panel die cut using a Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangle die and added my stencil and  applied some Distress grit-paste and before it dried I sprinkled on some glitter. It is super sparkly in real life. Too bad the photo doesn't quite capture all the glitter. 

I added some irridescent bubble embellishments from Studio Katia to the first card and layered the panel onto a piece of patterned paper.

On the second card I used some foil for the trees and also used the Petite Snow stencil and some Whipped Spackle for the snow portion of the card above the trees. the panel was die cut first using an MFT Die-namics using a Stitched Rectangle die. I used a mini circle shaker die from MFT die-namics for my sentiment. I adhered a piece of patterned paper to my card base and then added the panel and the sentiment circle.

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

Hi everyone,

Today I have a card for the current Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge where the theme is 'All That Glitters is Gold'.

I used stamps and dies from Newton's Nook to create my scene.

I started by stamping the images on a white piece of cardstock and coloured them with Copics. Added a couple of trees that were stamped and fussy cut. 

The pine piece was die cut 6 times using glitter cardstock.

I adhered all the pine pieces along with some red glitter berries along with a green glitter bow.

Stamped the sentiment and mounted the whole panel onto a black piece of cardstock and then adhered to a Neenah desert storm card.

Added glossy accents to the windows and that's it for this card and thanks so much for stopping by.
