Glimmer Snowflakes

Hello Everyone,

I just can’t stop using the metallic pigment inks. All three feature on this card!

I started by using Silvery Shimmer and Celestial Copper to stamp snowflakes on to a card layer.

This was adhered to some Gold Glimmer paper and added to the card base with dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped with Golden Glitz ink and cut with a Stitched Rectangle die. This was also layered with Gold Glimmer paper and added with dimensionals.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

I would love to be your demonstrator.

Inspire.Create #054

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to my blog. Every other Monday I share my project that I have used as my entry for the Inspire.Create challenge.

This time it’s a theme challenge. The design team have made some wonderful samples as inspiration. You can see them here.

And this is what I created!

This challenge was the perfect excuse to use the Christmas Layers Die.

I originally thought I would use white on white but the detail didn’t shine as much as I wanted.

Instead I chose a super bright background and sponged the card stock with Melon Mambo ink.

The sentiment was also stamped with Melon Mambo Ink.

Stitched Rectangles dies were used to cut the sentiment and some vellum.

These were adhered with dimensionals and embellished with Melon Mambo glitter enamel dots.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

I would love to be your demonstrator.

Plaid Pines

Hello Everyone,

For today’s card I have used some different wintry colours including Purple Posy!

The pine trees were stamped on to Whisper White card stock with Seaside Spray, Gray Granite and Purple Posy inks.

The coordinating punch was used to cut the images out.

A combination of Snail and dimensional adhesive was used to secure the trees to a white card base.

The sentiment was stamped with Gray Granite ink and cut with the Timeless Label punch.

At Christmas Time

Hello Everyone,

Here we go with another super simple Christmas card.

The border stamps from the Christmas Countdown set were stamped across a Whisper White card layer using Crumb Cake and Cherry Cobbler inks. A grid mat helps to keep everything straight.

The sentiment from the host stamp set, Greatest Part of Christmas, was added with Cherry Cobbler ink.

The layer was adhered to Crumb Cake card stock and then added to a Whisper White card base.

Mixed Metallics

Hello Everyone,

Something non traditional for Christmas…. What about this? And it couldn’t be easier to make.

No card layers were used for this one, so I used the Stamparatus just in case the images didn’t stamp well the first time.

I actually positioned the sentiment first, inking this with Golden Glitz pigment ink.

The trees were stamped with Silvery Shimmer pigment ink – this definately benefitted from a second layer of ink.

And that is it! Nothing else added… Of course, that doesn’t stop you adding whatever embellishments you like!

Starry Seasons Greetings

Hello Everyone,

This week I’ll be sharing some super simple cards that can be made quickly and easily.

For this card, the star is the most complicated element, but this can sped up using the Stamparatus if required.

For the two tone look, the decorative image was stamped first with Real Red ink.

The outline was stamped next with versamark and then heat embossed with gold powder.

The coordinating dies were used to cut the image.

The sentiment was added to a white card base with Real Red ink and the star adhered with dimensionals.

Snowy Merry Christmas

Hello Everyone,

Look at this cute snowman! He’s so happy it’s Christmas!

A white card base was prepared by layering some Speciality Designer Series Paper on to the front.

Vellum was trimmed to 3 by 4-3/4 and secured to the centre of the card.

The snowman was stamped with Memento Ink and coloured with watercolour pencils. The coordinating punch was used to cut the image. His hat and arms were coloured with Stampin’ Blends.

I mounted the snowman onto some Designer Series Paper and White card stock before adhering to the card.

The sentiment was stamped with Flirty Flamingo ink and added with dimensionals.

Comfort and Joy

Hello Everyone,

Here’s another card using this stunning wreath from the Tidings All Around stamp set.

Shaded Spruce Ink was used to stamp the wreath which was then die cut.

Before adhering the wreath to the card, two of the additional sprigs were stamped with Crumb Cake Ink.

Golden Glitz ink was used to add the sentiment.

Every wreath needs a bow, so I used the Real Red Ruched Ribbon to tie a bow which was secured with a glue dot.

Inspire.Create #053

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to my blog. Today I am sharing my Inspire.Create challenge entry.

This time it’s a sketch challenge. The design team have made some wonderful samples as inspiration. You can see them here.

And this is what I created!

I used Shaded Spruce ink to stamp the pine trees. Several generations of ink created depth.

I added some ribbon and adhered this to some Cherry Cobbler card stock.

The sentiment was stamped with gold ink and die cut with a Stitched Rectangle Die, which was then added with dimensionals.

Some epoxy dots completed the card.

No Sentiment Required

Hello Everyone,

Beauty & Joy is a stamp set that is easily overlooked in the Autumn Winter catalogue. I love this set!

I kept the card simple. The tree was stamped on to Whisper White card stock starting with the pot using Merry Merlot, Crumb Cake and Garden Green inks.

The image was die cut with a Stitched Rectangle and layered on to a Merry Merlot Stitched Rectangle.

A card base was made with Merry Merlot card stock. A Whisper White card layer was stamped with the tiny dots in the set using Crumb Cake ink.

The topper was added with dimensionals. I decided not to add a sentiment, so the image remained the focal point of the card.

Laser Cut Merry Christmas

Hello Everyone,

For today’s card I wanted to use the transparency of the laser cut cards as a feature.

It is not shown in the photos, but I started by adhering a 2 inch punched circle on the inside of the card to hide glue used on the front.

The layers for the topper added as follows;

Vellum cut with a Stitched Circle Die,
White Flax ribbon,
Very Vanilla card stock cut with 2-1/4 inch circle punch,
Gold foil card stock cut with the Starburst Punch,
Very Vanilla ard stock cut with the Timeless Label punch prestamped with Golden Glitz Delicata ink.

Sip Sip Hooray!

Hello Everyone,

If you need a stamp set to cover all kinds of celebrations this could be the one for you!

This card was simple to put together.

The flutes were stamped first, I used Crumb Cake, but could easily be Smoky Slate or even Balmy Blue.

The liquid, (champagne in this case) was stamped with Daffodil Delight Ink. Some bubbles were added with 2nd generation Crumb Cake Ink. Some Wink of Stella Glitter also helped add some fizz.

All the glasses were die cut. Three glasses were adhered first flat to the card. The remaining two were added with dimensionals.

Finally, the sentiment was stamped and die cut. A double layer of dimensionals lifted this from the rest of the elements.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

Night Before Christmas

Hello Everyone,

Designer Series Paper is your best friend for making lots of cards fast!

The Night Before Christmas pack has designs to suit different tastes.

This is what I would consider to be quite traditional. I matted this with Crumb Cake card stock and added to a Night of Navy card base.

The metallic edge ribbon adds some bling and texture.

The sentiment from Frosted Foliage was stamped with Night Of Navy ink and die cut, (you could also use a punch).

For this less traditional design I used Very Vanilla layers and Real Red card stock and ink.

The ribbon was substituted for the Braided Linen Trim.

The sentiment was from the Everything Festive stamp set.

Frosted Foliage

Hello Everyone,

There’s a frosty feel to today’s card project which features the Frosted Foliage bundle.

I used Balmy Blue card stock to make the card base and added a Whisper White card layer.

The beautiful frame was die cut from Balmy Blue card stock.

The sentiment was stamped with Balmy Blue ink and die cut with the stitched label in the set. snowflakes were added with Silver Delicata ink and adhered to the frame.

The completed Topper was adhered to the card with dimensionals.

Pigment Sprinkled Yuletide Cheer

Hello Everyone,

Do you like “messy” crafting? This is the technique for you!

Pigment Sprinkles are water reactive crystals packed with colour so a little goes a long way! They come in a pack of 6, Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Gorgeous Grape, Melon Mambo and Mango Melody.

To create a background, I misted some watercolour paper with clean water. Pigment was sprinkled over the top.

The piece was dried thoroughly with a heat gun. The paper will curl but is easily flattened under a heavy book.

Snowflakes were die cut from Shimmery White card stock.

The sentiment was stamped with versamark and heat embossed with white powder on Vellum.

A piece of Bermuda Bay card stock was adhered behind the sentiment to make it stand out.

Some frosted epoxy dots finished the card.

Pretty Peacock Layers

Hello Everyone,

I tried something a little different for today’s project.

You will know I like to use a lot of white card stock so I sort of turned this one inside out, using coloured card layers instead.

I have used Pretty Peacock for my card layers. The smaller panel was adhered with dimensionals.

Feathers from the Royal Peacock die set were added to the topper.

I used a sentiment from the coordinating stamp set and cut this with a Stitched Square die.

Inspired by Friends

Hello Everyone,

The last few weeks have been a bit full on meaning I have had less time to craft. I’ve also been having some crafters block. So I have taken inspiration from one of my friends!

The original design was created by my friend Helzie. You can read her blog post here.

I was lucky enough to receive one of these lovely cards when I spent a crafty afternoon with her and other members of the team.

My spin on this card was to use the new metallic pigment inks from the Autumn Winter catalogue. These were applied with sponge daubers on to some Very Vanilla card stock which was then adhered behind the laser cut panel.

My sentiment was from the Waterfront stamp set and cut twice with the Tailored Tag Punch.

To embellish, I opted for Polka Dot Tulle ribbon and some butterflies from the Butterfly Gala stamp set.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

I would love to be your demonstrator.
