Sweet Christmas Wishes

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!

 

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.

Happy Friday crafty friends! 🎅 A Sneak Peek at What's Coming! 

I'm excited to share my first card with you as part of the @lotvstamps design team! My card features Santa, reindeer, and a small gift from the Happy Christmas Polymer Stamp Set. This charming set will be available in the shop on Monday.

I colored the images with Copic Markers and cut them out with a Scan N Cut machine. I blended Distress Oxide ink Salty Ocean to the area where my images were going, then added some splatter.

I heat embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder and then adhered it to the panel with liquid glue. I then placed the images above the sentiment on foam tape for dimension.

I gathered some festive paper from my stash and adhered it to a white card base. The top panel was then adhered with foam tape for added dimension. I added some red sequins to complete the card.

Thank you for stopping by! Have a fantastic day!

Hot Cocoa Kisses

Hi friends! Today, I am sharing a card that I created for the 2024 Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop featuring Whimsy Stamps, A Frosty Cup of Cocoa. 

I began by making a winter scene using Distress Oxide inks for the sky and snow. I die-cut a double-stitched hill for the snow and adhered it to the panel with foam tape. I used the Mountains Layering Stencil Set for the trees. I cut the panel to 4 x 5 1/4 inches and adhered it to an A2 white card base.

I then printed the snowman image out, colored it with Copic Markers, and cut it out with my Scan N Cut machine. The sentiment was heat embossed with black embossing powder. I added a few snowflakes that I cut from white glitter cardstock and adhered directly to the panel with liquid glue.

Be Jolly

Hi crafty friends! Welcome to our November Challenge at The Paper Funday Challenge Blog.

This month, we have Amanda Jayne Designs and Fred, She Said as our generous sponsors and as always, the theme is Anything Goes with an Optional Twist, which is Tags. Can't wait to see what you make!

Today's card features a digital image from Amanda Jayne Designs, Christmas Penguins. This penguin is getting ready for the holidays in style.

I began by printing the image on Neenah SolarWhite #110. I colored it with Copic markers and fussy cut it out with scissors. I looked through my paper stash and found this beautiful winter scene from the La-La Land Crafts Winter Time Paper Pack, which was perfect for my little guy. I adhered it to a white A2 card base with liquid glue.

The sentiment is from an older set from Paper Smooches. I really love the font. It was stamped with Versafine Onyx black ink, die-cut using the La-La Land Crafts Scalloped Sentiments Labels Die, and adhered with liquid glue.

I appreciate you stopping by with me today. Have a Waddle-ful day!

Waddle On, It's Christmas Time!

Hi crafty friends! Today I'm sharing a flippin' fun Christmas card featuring the Penguining Stamp Set and coordinating dies from The Rabbit Hole Designs.

I stamped the images from the Penguining stamp set then cut them out with the matching dies. I colored them with alcohol markers. I blended Distress Oxide Salty Ocean using a drift stencil to create soft, snowy hills. I then die-cut the panel using the largest frame from the You've Been Framed Layering Dies and then adhered it to an A2 blue card base.

I stamped the sentiment on purple cardstock and die-cut it using a sentiment strip die which is included in the You've Been Framed Layering Dies. I adhered the images and sentiment with foam tape for added dimension. Silver sequins added a finishing touch to the card. 

Thanks for dropping in. Have a PENG-tastic day!!

Tricks or Treats

Hi there friends! It's time for a new challenge at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends. As you know, it's always anything goes, and our generous sponsor is Beccy's Place. They are offering the lucky winner a $10 gift certificate from their shop. I sure hope you play along with us. Have fun and good luck!

I selected the Scaredy Cats digital image from Beccy's Place without realizing that the challenge was after Halloween. Oh well, I have a head start for next year!

Even this scaredy cat can't resist a little Halloween mischief. Look at his face! He's looking for some tasty treats. 

I printed the image and sentiment onto Neenah Solar White #110 and then colored it with Copic markers. I die-cut it using a stitched rectangle, and then assembled it with some fun Halloween paper from my stash. 

Thanks for dropping in! Have a fantastic day!!

Have a Beary Good Christmas

Hi friends! I come BEARing gifts today with some help from this cutie. Imagine opening this gift box on Christmas Day and this adorable little bear popping out of it? Wouldn't he be the best gift ever?!!

For my card, I used the digital image Gift Box Parcel Bella Christmas Bear and colored it with Copic Markers. The festive paper is from the Elvis Wesley Moose Themed Papers. I cut the bottom portion with a scalloped edged die and assembled it onto an A2 card base. The sentiment is from the Christmas Greetings bundle which includes a variety of greetings to finish off your holiday cards. I finished the card with red sequins. Crafty Hugs xo
