Day 5 - Christmas Card Series

Hello everyone,

I'm back with day 5 of my Christmas card series with a very CAS card for you.

I am all about white clean and simple cards and I think it's because when you add a bit of colour to the project it goes POP!  

This would actually be a good card to mass produce. 

I started out with the chevron cover die and cut out the top panel from white card stock and popped it up on foam tape to an A2 card base.

I combined the MFT's Joyous Christmas sentiment set as well as the SSS Merry Christmas die set as the focal points.  I added some black Wink of Stella to the black sentiment and finished it off with some My Minds Eye enamel dots.

Thanks for stopping by, see you again soon!

Day 4 - Holiday Card Series 2015

Welcome to day 4 of my Christmas card series and I'm here with a super adorable set my MFT and Lawn Fawn.

I wanted to make a shaped card and I just love the stitched ovals so I thought it would look great with a little scene.  Once I die cut all the pieces I used Tumbled Glass distress ink for the sky in the background.

I die cut out the hills and added some stickles to the tops to make it more wintery and added some to the background for the snowflakes as well as the white Pico embellisher.  It's like a white gel pen but much more liquid and there is a fine needle tip on the bottle.

I cut out and coloured the images with copics and glued the trees down and used foam tape of the deer and snowman and covered him with glossy accents and wink of stella.

It's the Season - Butterfly Reflections Ink

Hi everyone,

I'm very excited to be back on the blog today to share a Christmas card with MFT goodies.

I first cut out two panel with the Lawn Fawn stitched rectangles dies, one from from kraft cards stock and the other from vellum.  I stamped the trees from Jingle All the Way to create the background, heat embossed them with Hero Arts white embossing powder and then coloured them in with pencil crayons. 

I then took one of the sentiments from the Joyous Christmas Sentiments and heat embossed them again with the HA white embossing power and added a few starts with some enamel dots to finish off the card. 

Don't forget to stop by the SHOP, there are SO many fun Christmas products, you deserve to treat yourself!

Skipping Stone Design Tips/Technique Blog Hop

Hello everyone,

I'm back with our Tips/Technique Hop with Skipping Stones Design.  

I have a tip and a technique and I'll start with the technique.  The art of adding dots to embellish anything.  I have seen this from a few other crafty friends and if you add three bigger dots in a triangle format and the add in lots of little ones around it gives it a more natural look.

For the Tip part, it's something lots of people still cringe about when they see this happen and it's cutting your stamps.  I was one of those who did that but when I did it for the first time I realized that it was so much easier and faster to just cut it apart then to mask one end off and then the other end.  When ever I did that I would forget the tape on and end up with a mess on my project.  

It's okay, they don't scream or cry when you do this, I promise :)

I did some ink blending to the bottom of the card base and with the new Harty Hello set and stamped the sentiment in Versafine onyx black ink.

 We hope you'll hop along with us as one lucky commenter will win a stamp set.

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!

AAA Cards Challenge - Game #52 Thanks / Thanksgiving

Hello everyone,

I'm black playing along with Game 52 over on the AAA Cards Challenge blog.  

The theme for this game is Thanksgiving or being thankful.  I have lots to be thankful for including wonderful family and friends.

Using a stitched rectangle die I cut out the front panel from white card stock.  I then used some pieces from a chevron full panel die used foam tape to pop them up then coloured some in with my copics. 

I cut out three "Thanks" dies from black card stock, glued them together to make it like a chipboard piece and glued it down directly onto the card.  I figured the card had enough dimension.

Be sure to head over to the challenge, we would love to see what you create.

Thanks for stopping by, see you again soon!

Skipping Stones Design New Release - Day 2

Hello again,  glad to see you back for Day 2 of the new release.

My card for today is a bra and pantie set and when I read the sentiment I actually laughed out loud.


I used watercolours to create the background and then heat embossed the images with white embossing powder.  I used my white gel pen to add in some dots for interest as well as some enamel dots in two colours of pink.

I stamped the sentiment in versa fine onyx black and added it to the inside of the card.  This still makes me smile as I type up this post.  

We hope that you are enjoying the hop and up next is the very sweet and talented Ilina.
