Winter Trees

 Hi everyone,

Today I have a card to share using an older Hero Arts stamp called Winter Trees.

I started by stamping the image using a tri-colour ink pad. When dry I stamped over the image again with Versamark clear ink and embossed with Psychedelic glitter powder. It added such a rainbow of colour to my image.

The sentiment was stamped directly to the bottom of the card. I decided last minute to add a die cut stitched rectangle border around the image. In doing so, it cut off part of the word winter.

I had to fix this by stamping the words winter cheer onto a strip of white card stock and foam taping it over the 2 original stamped words. Seemed to have fixed my issue. Yeah!

I die cut a tiny snowflake from a piece of Holographic paper and added that to my card.

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

Happy New Year

 Hi everyone,

Well 2020 is behind us and thank goodness. I want to wish you all a very Happy New Year with health, happiness and a brighter future for the coming year.

I used 2 different ink colours and blended them over my background which was die cut using a stitched rectangle die.

I added ink splatters over top with white and gold paint colours. The sentiment was stamped with Versamark ink and embossed with gold embossing powder.

Before adhering the panel to my card I added Versamark ink to the edges of my card and embossed with gold embossing powder.

For a final touch I added some clear crystal embellishments.

The panel was added to my card with foam tape and that completes my card.

Thanks so much for stopping by and Happy 2021 🙏🏻❤️

 Hi everyone,

Well Christmas is behind us and we find ourselves back into a 3 week lockdown again with only stores deemed essential to be open. More time for crafting for me not that I spend anytime in stores. All the Christmas gifts were purchased online this year and so are my groceries.

I do have a fun and easy card to share using a Concord & 9th Turnabout stamp set.

I started by stamping the berries using 4 different colours of pink/red Altenew mini ink cubes from lightest ink to the darkest rotating the card at each turn. Then I went on to stamping the holly leaves starting with the lightest green colour first and ending by the darkest green ink last.

When all the stamping was done I stamped the sentiment from the set and stamped in the middle of my card with black ink.

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

Retro Christmas ornaments

 Hi everyone,

Although I am not much in the Christmas spirit I do find myself still making Christmas cards. The new Retro Ornament stamp and die set from Sunny Studio Stamps is awesome.

First I started by stamping my background with a bough branch and Distress ink. I went on to stamping the ornaments with gold ink and red ink.

My stamped panel was die cut using a slimline stitched rectangle die. I didn’t want to add a layer of red card stock to the card base so I inked up the edges of the card with the same red ink as the ornaments. I added some Nuvo glitter on top of the ink to add a little sparkle.

I added some gold thread to each of the ornaments and adhered the threads to the back of the panel. I added a little foam square to each ornament and adhered them to my card.

I die cut little red bows from glitter card stock and added one to each ornament.

The sentiment was stamped with black ink ad die cut with a Zig Zag rectangle die.

I inked the edges of the sentiment piece with the same gold ink in the ornaments and added to my card with foam tape.

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

Gingerbread & Christmas Houses

 Hi everyone,

I guess it’s been a while since I have posted here but I do have a Gingerbread house and a Christmas house to share with you using some Lawn Fawn products.

I used the new paper collection from Lawn Fawn called Let it Shine for the card bases.

The Christmas house background was embossed with a snowflake embossing folder.

I used glitter card stock for a lot of the house pieces and added some sparkle and glitter wherever I could for some nice accents.

They were a lot of fun to make and seemed to take me a lot of time to assemble.

Anyways that being said I think they turned out very nice. I’m pretty happy with the results.

Well that’s it for these 2 cards and thanks so much for stopping by 🙏🏻

Snowy Merry Christmas

 Hi everyone,

Today I have a card to share using Lawn Fawn products and some patterned snowflake paper.

I started by die cutting a large panel using a slimline stitched die and some patterned paper.
I die cut the large letters 3 times from some white card stock and glued each letter together.
The Christmas sentiment was die cut twice from white card stock and glued together.

The tree border was die cut from some white glittery card stock.

I also die cut 3 different size snowflakes from the white glitter card stock.
The tree border was foam mounted to my card base and all the other elements were added with glue.

Well that’s it for my card with lots of die cutting.

Thanks so much for stopping by 🙏🏻

Joy

 Hi everyone,

Today I have a card to share using an old Hero Arts wood block Christmas tree stamp that I have.

I started by stamping the image with green ink and heat embossing with clear embossing powder.

I used a stitched rectangle die to cut my panel.

The letters were die cut from some striped paper. 

I layered my stamped panel onto a piece of patterned cardstock and foam mounted the letters at the bottom.

I added a little silver star embellishment to the top of the tree and that completes my card.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Let it snow

 Hi everyone,

Although the title to my card is 'Let it Snow' I am not eager at all to have snow. We did have a bunch already but it has melted away. Yeah!!!

My card today was created using a single die set from Hello Bluebird which contains 3 dies and makes for a quick and easy card.

The die cuts 3 different strips so I used white glitter cardstock for the top piece, I embossed the bottom piece with a Sizzix dots embossing folder and the middle piece I blended 2 different colours of Distress inks over it and added some splatters of white paint.

The sentiment was die cut 3 times with white cardstock and glued together. I die cut 2 small snowflakes and adhered them together but offset them a little bit. I adhered all 3 pieces to a white card with some Tombow mono glue.

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

Happiest of Birthdays

 Hi everyone,

Today's card was created with a stencil and 2 colours of Distress inks and some ink blending which is probably one of my favourite techniques. The colours are nice and happy which is perfect for this very snowy day!

I die cut a white panel with a stitched rectangle die and placed my stencil over top. I started at the bottom and blended the inks alternating between the 2 colours.

Once I was happy with the blended panel I set that aside and die cut the 'friend' die from some black cardstock. The other sentiment is from Paper Rose which is a package of pre-printed sentiment strips on both black and white cardstock. The package contains so many sentiments for every occasion which is great.

I adhered the panel to my card base and added the sentiment strip with some foam tape and adhered the die cut piece directly to the card.

I added Nuvo crystal drops in 2 colours on all the tiny dots.

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

Celebrate the season

 Hi everyone,

Today I have a card to share using a couple of stencils and some embossing paste. It was difficult to capture the beautiful sparkle of the paste with the lighting I had on the day I took the photo but it really is quite pretty 🤩 

I started with the tree stencil first and applied some Gina K glitter gel on to a piece of wood grain card stock. I set that aside to dry and went on to die cutting 3 tiny birds from some red card stock.

Once the first stencil piece was dry I carefully added a snow stencil to my piece and added some distress paste.

I mounted the panel with foam tape on to a piece of black card stock and then added that to my card.

The sentiment was heat embossed with white embossing powder and added to my card with foam tape.

I popped up the little bird with a small foam dot and that completes my card.

Thanks so much for stopping by 🙏🏻
