AAA Cards Game #80 - Silver

Hi everyone,

You are all enjoying the holiday spirit and getting some time with family and hopefully a bit of crafty time in there too.

For my card, I used one of the Scattered Circles dies from SSS and die cut it out of a white card stock panel.  I added a piece of printer paper to the back so that I could add the Nuvo drops in Silver to each of the little circles.  

I used the die again to cut out the middle circle from a piece of metallic card stock and adhered it with liquid glue. I cut down the front panel down a bit and popped it up on fun foam to give it some interest.  I stamped the sentiment with Stayzon black ink because the metallic paper is slippery.

Our Game #80 is up and we thought that Silver would be great to go along with all the Christmas cards we are all making.  This one will be a bit longer as we will be extending it over our Christmas break so it's 3 weeks instead of two.  So head over to the blog to link up your CAS card!

Our wonderful sponsor for this challenge is Stampendous.

A Latte Birthday

Hello everyone,

I'm here with a holiday themed birthday card.  I wanted to play along with the Winter Coffee Lovers Blog hop but just missed it.  

I love patterned paper and I have quite a bit of it for someone who doesn't know how to use it.  LoL!!  I saw this piece and I knew I had to use it because it's so adorable.  

I used the coffee cup from the Coffee Craze stamps and die set and coloured it in with my copics and then die cut it.  When you use the red copics they tend to bleed so I used the white gel pen to clean up the edges of the stamped image.  I then stamped and heat embossed a snowflake onto the cup as I thought it was missing something.  

I then took two sizes of scalloped rectangle dies and cut out a piece of the patterned paper and a smaller piece of white card stock and stamped the sentiment with black ink.  

I adhered the patterned paper to the card base and popped up the sentiment panel with foam tape.  I then added a bit of Wink of Stella to the cup and I thought I'd mix it up and add the cup with a small action wobble.  So it moves!

Holiday Card Series - Merry Christmas

Hello everyone,

I'm back with more cards for my Holiday Card Series.

I have a set of cards that a coworker ordered and these were fun and easy to make.  

I started out with Canson XL watercolour paper and cut out A2 sized panels.  I used my Koi watercolours and unfortunately they don't have names. 

I added the colour the each panel with water and then heat set them between layers.  I added a little at a time to get the depth of the hard and soft lines.  Once they dried I added some splatter with some black paint from the same palette.  

I took the Merry Christmas sentiment die from Simon Says Stamp and I die cut it four times out of metallic paper that I found at my local dollar store.  I adhered them to the watercolour panels and then added those to regular card stock card bases. 

For these cards I pulled out my distress stains in Barn Door and Tattered Rose and Faded Jeans and Tumbled Glass and just stamped them all over the paper and the sprits them with my Distress sprayer.
After they dried I added some gold and silver splatter with the same colour distress inks.

I then cut out more of the Merry Christmas sentiments from the same paper as the ones above and adhered them to the card with Tombow Mono.  Once that was all done I added the panels to regular card stock card bases and called them done.

Thanks for stopping by, see you again soon.

So Suzy Stamp GD - Merry Christmas

Hello everyone,

I'm back again with another Christmas card for you and for my Holiday Card Series.  I decided to use the new to me Colour Burst in Alizarin Crimson which is a gorgeous Christmas red. 

I added the Colour Burst to the paper and you DON'T need a lot.  When you add it to the paper, it doesn't even seam like there is anything there but look at the stages it goes through below when you add the water.  

After the panel as completely dry I die cut it out with a stitched rectangle.  I also sent the panel through my die cutting machine a few more times to help flatten it out. 

I took the watercoloured panel and using my mini MISTI I stamped the Merry Christmas sentiment with Versamark ink (which is a clear sticky ink) and then heat embossed it with white embossing powder.  

I added some fun foam to the back of the panel and adhered it to the card base.  I then added dots from the Nuvo Crystal Drops in white to finish off the card.  

Don't forget!

Holiday Card Series - Merry Christmas

Hello everyone,

I have another card for my Holiday Card series.  I used some of the images I coloured during Kathy Racoosin's colouring challenge.  

As soon as I coloured these up, I knew exactly the card I was going to make with them.  And so I did!

I stamped and coloured in the images with my copics and then I ran them through my die cutting machine and then added them to the panel with foam tape. I then cut out a square panel using white card stock from Recollections using the SSS stitched square dies. 

As I put the stencil down onto the paper with from Winnie & Walter, I added it diagonally and then ink blended some Fog ink from Simon Says Stamp.  I then popped it up onto a square card base with fun foam. I am liking that stuff more and more for creating dimension on my cards. Especially since I'm one of those who gets so involved with the card I end up forgetting to stamp the sentiment until the card is put together.  This way even if I forget, there is enough support under the panel that I can still add it to the card without destroying the whole card.  

After that was all done, I die cut the word merry three times out of black card stock from Lawn Fawn with a SSS word. It actually comes all together as Merry Christmas and I just cut off the Christmas part and stamped it instead. Unfortunately it has been so long since I did this card I can't remember which set the Christmas came from.  But there are many stamps set that would work.  

To finish off the card I used a white Signo gel pen and added the little dots and dashes to the flower.  

Thanks for stopping  by, see you again soon!
