Christmas Card Series - Day 3

Hello everyone,

I'm back with Day 3 of my Christmas Card Series.

I have an embossing folder that looks like a chevron brick pattern that I picked up at JoAnns the last vacation we were in the States and thought it would make a great background. So I ran that through my die cutting machine with a Tim Holtz oval diffuser. Cut it out with the Lawn Fawn stitched rectangles dies, then popped it up on my card base.

I don't have a poinsettia stamp so I improvised.  I used this set from Mama Elephant Freestyle Florals stamps and dies and coloured them in with my copics to look like poinsettias, cut them out and adhered the leaves to the front panel and popped up the flowers.  

The sentiment is from MFT and I stamped it in Versafine onyx black ink and clear embossed it with clear embossing powder and added in some Wink of Stella on the flowers and added some sequins to finish off the card.

Thanks for stopping by, see you again soon!

#100HAPPYDAYS

Hi everyone,

I here with another card from the Coffee First and the Arrows background stamp sets from Create a Smile.  I love this set.  I Love that they have large and small coffee cups and a few other little elements to make your card fun.

I used a few sets on this card.  First obviously was the coffee set and since this is how I feel about my morning coffee I thought I would have the adorable hamster from Lawn Fawn dive in to this one.

I used the Create a Smile "Arrow Stamp" set and used Hero Arts Soft Vanilla, Butter Bar and Pumpkin Pie inks to give the background an ombre look.  

I thought it needed something else in the top corner so I used the die from the SSS Happy Bubble set and cut it out of some shimmer paper from a SSS card kit.  I used a stitched rectangle die to cut out the back panel and added the same patterned paper as the little speak bubble. 

I hand cut a piece of vellum and added that to the background panel to defuse the arrows.  I used one of the coffee cups  from the Coffee First set and stamped it in Memento Onyx black ink twice.  I coloured it in with my copics and some Wink of Stella and cut out just the waves and popped that up onto the other cup I stamped to give it dimension.  I added a little enamel heart that matched the colour for interest.  I used another piece of patterned paper to stamp out the #100happydays sentiment from the Happy Everything set Mama Elephant and added the banner ends and added a couple more enamel dots from Doodlebug.

Sparkle & Shine Challenge #2 - Happy Birthday

Hello everyone,

I'm joining in on the fun over at the Sparkle and Shine Challenge blog and it's a sketch challenge.

Here is the card I made.  I used the Plus9 Peony stamps in both sizes and stamped them with the Hero Arts shadow inks in Soft Vanilla, Butter Bar & Pumpkin Pie.  I used Ranger Archival black ink for the outline but I only did a few of the flowers interpreting the diagonal line in the sketch.

I used the WPlus9's Sunshine Layers Dies for the background panel and popped it up with foam tape to the card base.   I used the Mama Elephant tag die for to cut out the polka dot vellum which came in one of my SSSCK.  I also used the Happy word die and the Happy Everything stamp set for the sentiment.  I finished it off with a bow from some American Crafts twine I got in from Michaels a while back

That's it for me, thanks for stopping by, see you again soon.

Lawnscaping Challenge #96!

 Hello everyone,

I have another card that I am entering in the very last Lawnscaping Challenge for 2014!  I can't believe it.

Today's challenge is anything Christmas.

I used the Lawn Fawn's Joy to the Woods stamp and die set for the birch trees and the sentiment and the Winter Owl.  I used my Prismacolor Coloured pencils to colour him in and copics for the trees.

I die cut a square from the SSS In Stitches and cut it out of SSS Fog card stock (I think, it came in a SSSCK).  I used the Mama Elephant Sunny Skies set and I used the rays and stamped it in Fog and Smoke SSS inks and off set them. I used the falling snow stencil from SSS and used the Fog ink.

I used Wink of Stella clear glitter pen on the snow flakes, square die cut and the Owl's scarf.  I had just run out of the glitter out so I used Jennifer's suggestion and filled it up with a bit of water and almost good as new.

For the shaker I used beads and micro beads of greys, back and clear and to complete the card I used Pretty Pink Posh Marshmallow 6mm sequins. 

Thanks for stopping by!

See you soon.

Holiday Card Workshop - Merry and Bright Card

Hello everyone,

I'm excited to be participating in the next Online Card Classes Holiday Card Workshop 2014!  It starts tomorrow and you still have time to register.  

Now on with the card.  I have another Mama Elephant Arctic Penguins Christmas card.  These little guys are SO cute!  I just can't get enough.

I used the Mama Elephant Peek a Frame dies.  For the background I used a Hero Arts Ironwork background and stamped it with Versamark and heat embossed it with pearl embossing powder from Recollections.  Then I used distress inks on the sky and used the Landscape Trio dies and cut out the snow drifts/hills.   For the cute little trees are from the Lawn Fawn "Yeti, set, go" stamp set and I coloured them in with my copics.  I used Pretty Pink Posh sequins in Crystal Clear and I used Martha Stewart sterling embossing powder for the sentiment.  

I used the little snow and stars included in the Jolly and Merry stamp set that coordinates with the Arctic Penguins and I heat embossed them with the Recollections pearl embossing powder.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello Baby - Card

Hello everyone,

Today I have a baby card to share.

I used a couple of Lawn Fawn sets.  An oldie but a goodie and a newer one.

For the patterned paper, I used an old pad chic which was baby themed but it's so old I can't remember what the name of it was.  I also used the Mama Elephant Femme Frames, Mama Elephant Landscape Trio Creative Cuts dies for the clouds, Lawn Fawn's Grassy border die for the grass.

I combined the two stamp sets as well as Pretty Pink Posh crystal clear
6mm sequins and MME white enamel dots that came in one of the SSSCK.

I used my copics to do the colouring and a Gelly Roll white gel pen to add in the little dots on the bunnies.

All the supplies shown were purchased through Simon Says Stamp except the copics, which were purchased my my local art store and Michaels.

Thanks for stopping by.
