Happy DieCember everyone ❄️🎉🥳

It’s that fun and exciting time of the year again for an amazing month long celebration from @simonsaysstamp.There are so many cute fun dies. 

I used the cute Stitching Penguin die set to create two adorable little tags to hang on the tree or to adorn a gift package.

I used black card stock to die cut the base of each penguin and white felt to die cut the front of each one.

I added red and green stitching.

Added a top hat die cut from felt and sparkle paper for the bow tie, hair tie and glasses.

On the back pieces I stamped the images and added Stickles glue accents to each. I used green and white and red and white twine to stitch them up.

To finish them off I added tiny bells to each one in green and white and red and white.

Well that’s it for these cuties.

 Hi everyone,

Today I have 2 cards to share using a bunch of different products and some watercolour ink smooshing.

I started by die cutting the words in green and red felt.

To each of the word backgrounds I used a piece of Idea-ology Christmas wallpaper and applied some Distress Sparkle paste over top.

I ink smooshed the backgrounds onto a piece of watercolour card stock. When dry I sprayed with a bit of Distress spray stain.

When dry I added a stencil to each of the backgrounds and applied Distress texture paste,

Before adding the paste I embossed the panel  with a stitched rectangle die piece.

Also before the stencil and paste I stamped some words in the same colour of Distress inks on to each panel.

I added glossy accents to each of the stars and berries and sprinkled with a bit of Distress Clear Rock Candy glitter.

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

Hello lovely

 Hi everyone,

Finally the nicer weather has arrived and the Spring flowers are blooming. Here’s a card

I created using a new stamp to me from Pigment Craft Co. called Blooming Floral which comes with a matching stencil.

I started by stamping the large flower image and embossing with white powder. I then went on to colour it using the coordinating stencil and ink blending with Distress oxide inks.

Once I was finished with all the colouring I fussy cut the image which was a bit tricky in spots.

I moved onto creating my background for the flowers with a stencil and Scattered Straw Distress ink.

I used a scalloped die to cut it out. The die cut piece was layered onto a blue piece of card stock and added to the white card.

The flower image was added with foam tape and a couple of confetti sequins were also added.

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

Butterfly hello

 Hi everyone,

Well Spring is here and so is my card colours. I made this for the current SSSFlickr challenge where the theme is to make a Spring slimline card.

Here’s mine.

I used a Simon Says Stamp stencil to create my background with 2 different colours of  Distress oxide inks. 

I used a couple of different slimline dies to cut down my panel.

The butterfly was created with Silver alcohol ink card stock and a green colour of alcohol ink.

I die cut the sentiment twice in silver metallic and black card stock. To finish my card I added some bubble embellishments.

Below is a closeup of the butterfly.

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

Hi everyone,

Today I have another creation that I made after last Saturday’s Tim Holtz live.

I started by creating my box using the Sizzix Lumber embossing folder. I embossed Kraft card stock twice and then began applying Distress inks until I had the wood colour I was looking for.

I cut the panels in strips and glued them to the sides of my box. I took a Tim Holtz stencil and blended red ink over the stencil. After I had finished blending I left the stencil in place and added some paint in certain areas.

The hearts were created with a heart stencil that I had applied some Distress texture paste over top. When the paste was dry I added some red paint over top of the hearts. I let it dry and cut out the hearts. To some of them I added Mica flakes which I had created with Red Pepper  alcohol ink and the others some glitter powder.

The panel was added to the front of the box and and I accented it with a stitched frame in gold card stock.

I added a piece of red velvet ribbon around the box and topped it out with a gold puffy heart and the sentiment.

Well that’s it for my little Valentine project ❤️ and thanks for stopping by 🙏🏻
