Christmas Cheer

Hi friends. Today I'm sharing a cute little snowman card with a touch of Christmas cheer featuring Last Minute Manda Bitty Snowman Christmas Coffee digital image.  

I printed him out on Neenah Solar White cardstock #110 and colored him with Copic Markers. I then fussy cut him out. Next, I pulled out this beautiful knitted paper from Honey Bee Stamps called Vintage Holiday (retired). I trimmed it down to 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 and adhered it to a white card base creating the perfect backdrop for my snowman.

I die-cut the Snowflake Doily from the La-La Land Crafts November Kit, which is available now until December 4th. I adhered it to the card using liquid glue, but only in the center. I then gently curled the edges to add some movement and dimension, giving it a more textured, dynamic look.

I then popped the snowman image on top, using foam tape to give the card an extra layer of dimension and depth.  

The sentiment is from an older Clearly Besotted set, which I stamped in black ink. I then die-cut it using the La-La Land Crafts Scalloped Sentiment Labels Die adding a perfect finishing touch to the card.

I hope you SNOW how much I enjoyed creating this card and that it MELTS your heart!

Hi friends! I'm so excited to be guest designing for Pixi Dust Designs! For this card, I've used the Let's Eat Cake Die Set, and it's truly perfect for celebrating any occasion. I can't wait to share the fun details with you!

I created a festive background by spraying Tim Holtz Distress Holiday Mica Stain on Yupo paper, giving it a vibrant, shimmery Christmas feel for my cake design! I then used the 3-tier cake die and ran it through my cutting machine. To add dimension, I cut another cake from white cardstock and adhered the two layers together with liquid glue.

Next, I cut the icing from red cardstock and layered the pieces together. I cut a panel with a frame die and adhered it to a red card base, then added the cake with liquid glue.

To give it a holiday touch, I cut snowflakes from white glitter cardstock for a bit of sparkle. The sentiment was heat embossed on black cardstock and adhered with foam tape for extra dimension.

I'm thrilled with how it turned out and hope it brings you as much joy as it brought me to create!

Thanks so much for stopping by. I truly appreciate it!

Elfing around with a Jolly Christmas Card

I'm excited to share a jolly Christmas card featuring the latest release from Lili of the Valley, Happy Christmas.

I began by coloring the images with Copic Markers adding lots of festive details, and then fussy cutting them out. Next, I pulled out some fun paper from my stash, trimmed it to size, and adhered them to an A2 white card base. To add a bit f sparkle, I cut a strip of red glitter cardstock and added it to the panel.

I then die-cut an arched frame and blended red ink through a stencil to create a fun design in the background. Finally, I popped the images up with foam tape to give them some dimension. The sentiment was stamped in black ink on white cardstock and also adhered with foam tape.

The combination of the bright colors and the cute characters really makes this card feel special and full of holiday cheer!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a jolly day!

'Tis the Season

Hi, crafty friends! I am bringing you gnome-sized joy and candy cane sweetness, featuring the adorable image Candy Cane - Gnome Festive Fun, as well as the Elvis Wesley Moose Themed Paper. I just love the font on this sentiment which is from the Christmas Greetings digital set. Coloring up this gnomey was a lot of fun. 

I printed the image, colored it using Copic markers, and then cut it out. The Elvis Wesley Moose Themed Paper was printed and cut to 4 x 5 1/4 inches. I then cut a red layer 4 x 5 3/8 and adhered it to a 5 1/2 white card base. The image was adhered to the panel with foam tape for dimension.

The sentiment is from the Christmas Greetings digital set and was printed and cut out with a sentiment die. I then adhered it to the panel with foam tape as well. The card was completed by adding a few snowflakes. 

Thank you for dropping in with me today! Have a fantastic day!!

Sugar, Spice and Gingerbread Nice!

Hi friends. Today I'm sharing a card made with Pink and Main Gingerbread Kisses stamp set. This set is baking up some serious fun with it's adorable gingerbread images and sweet sentiments that are sure to bring holiday cheer!

I started by stamping the gingerbread image on a white cardstock panel, then stamped it again on a Post-it note to create a mask for a one layer card. After cutting out the mask, I placed it over the stamped image and then stamped the gingerbread house on top.

Once the images were colored, I decided to fussy cut them out after all, giving the card some added dimension.

Next, I pulled out some festive paper from my stash, trimmed it to 4 1/8 x 5 7/8 and adhered it to the panel with liquid glue. To soften the look, I added a layer of vellum, trimmed to 4 x 5 1/4.

I then die-cut a scalloped frame from white cardstock and adhered it to the panel with foam tape for dimension. Then I popped the images up with foam tape to give the card some extra depth and dimension.

The sentiment was stamped in black ink and die-cut using a fun candy twist banner die, which was just perfect for this card, adding a playful touch that ties everything together! 

Thanks for stopping by and may your day be as sweet as this card!

Just Because

Hi there, friends! We are back with a new challenge at Beautiful Blossoms Challenge and, as you know, it's Anything Floral Goes! An optional mood board is available for inspiration. I can't wait to see your creations! Happy Crafting!

Today, I created a Just Because card using Altenew Stencil Art: Charming Delight and Add-on Die Bundle. Just Because cards are my favorite to send because they convey care and thoughtfulness without needing a special occasion. 

To begin, I colored a white cardstock panel with the Charming Delight stencil using Altenew Blue Mountains, Frayed Leaf, and Summer Afternoon Fresh Dye inks. The matching die was used to cut it out. 

I used a scalloped border edge die to cut an A2 panel and blended the card base where the edge border began. I used liquid glue to adhere them together.

The floral image was adhered with foam tape to add dimension. The sentiment was stamped, die-cut with the matching die, and also popped up with foam tape for added dimension. I also included a few dew drops to complete the card. 

I popped the floral image on foam tape for dimension. The sentiment is from The Rabbit Hole Designs Sentimentally Speaking Stamp Set and the coordinating Die Set was stamped and die-cut with the matching die and also popped up moon foam tape for added dimension. I added a few dew drops to complete the card. 

Please head over to our Blog and check out the rest of the wonderful inspirational work from the Design Team!

Merry Christmas

Hi crafty friends! Carrianne here with a festive card featuring the 1 Line Reindeer Stamp Set from The Rabbit Hole Designs.

I began by preparing a panel of Kraft cardstock with the Cottontail Embossing Powder Tool. I then masked off the image with tape, revealing only the head, and repeated stamping with Versamark ink. I then heat embossed it with white embossing powder.

I cut it out with a stitched die and added red ink to the edges to add texture. A second panel of red cardstock was cut with a scalloped stitched frame and then assembled to a white A2 card base with liquid glue.

The sentiment is from the same set and was stamped with red ink and then trimmed. I added a strand of twine behind it, then adhered it to the panel with foam tape. I then decided to color the nose of the center image red, adding shimmer crystal effects to make it shine. I completed the card by adding red sequins.

Thanks for dropping in with me today! Have a Deer-lightful day!!

Let's Get Stuffed

Hi friends. I'm sharing a fun Thanksgiving card featuring Turkey Time Stamp Set and coordinating dies from Pink and Main.

I'm not sure about you, but when it comes to Thanksgiving, I'm all about the pie! Everything else is just the filling. Haha!

I began with a Neenah cardstock #110 panel and blended Distress Oxide ink, Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed, and Festive Raspberry to create an ombre look. I used a wonky frame die to cut it out and added white splatter.

The images were stamped and colored using Copic markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut the images and then adhered them with foam tape for dimension.

The sentiment is included in the set and was heat embossed with black embossing powder. I added autumn-colored sequins to complete the card.

I had a blast creating this playful card to celebrate the season. I hope it brings a smile to your face.
