Day 6 - Christmas Card Series

Hello everyone,

I'm here with the card for day 6 of my Holiday Card Series and I just love this little Santa.  He's just so happy!!

I used a few different products on this card.  I like doing that because I get more out of all of my crafty goodies.  

 I cut out the snowflake panel out of some patterned paper I had in my stash from a few seasons ago and popped it up on the card base.  I cut out another pane, from slate card stock and added some glitter glass embossing paste through a falling snow stencil.

I coloured in one of the adorable Santa's from MFT with my copics and added some stickles to his hat  and pompom.  I added Wink of Stella to his suit.

I cut out the hills with stitched hills dies and added some stickles for some interest and stamped the sentiment in Versafine onyx black ink.  I am always forgetting to stamp my sentiment BEFORE I pop up my die cut so this one was no different.  I did have to re-stamp it and no it didn't stamp perfectly.  Even the MISTY won't help in this situation but luckily this time I was able to fix it so that it was saved.  

Thanks for stopping by, see you again soon!

Holly Jolly Holidays AAA Cards - Game 53

Hello everyone,

I'm back for Game #53 - Anything Goes!

Since I'm in the momentum of Christmas, I have a Christmas Card for you today.  

I stamped the snowflakes in silver ink and popped up the panel on an A2 cards base.  I used the castle from MFT and coloured it in with my copics and added some glossy accents to the windows.  I added a stitched circle and stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set with Versafine onyx black.  To finish off the card I used a glitter belly roll pen and added a line to frame in the panel.

This game runs till December 5th, so we hope you come play along with us and add to the linky on our blog.   Can't wait to see what you create!!

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.

Thanks for stopping by, see you again soon.

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!

Thanks for stopping by!

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.
