The Wilderness Awaits Day 2 - A Foxy Thank You Card

Hey there and welcome back....

Today's card features the Fox image and he is just gorgeous, I have teamed it with the fabulous "Wonderland" trees and also the awesome "Lovely As A Tree".

 The base card is Chocolate Chip with a layer of Delightful Dijon on top.

The Fox has been stamped on a separate piece of Whisper White coloured in and cut out. I used my Aqua Painter, Soft Suede and Cajun Craze inks to water colour him then I used a Cajun Craze marker to do some shading. I used a Garden Green Marker to colour in the grass he is sitting in.

For the background I masked off the bottom of the card and stamped the beautiful trees from the Wonderland Stamp set. Then I water coloured the bottom part with Garden Green ink and an Aqua Painter, I did the same with the sky but using Soft Sky ink.

I stamped the Thank You from An Open Heart stamp set in Basic Black and punched it out with the Word Window Punch and popped it on the card with dimensionals.

I stamped the leaves from Lovely As A Tree on to some Whisper White and Coloured them with My Aqua Painter and Garden Green ink, then I cut them out and stuck them to the card.

Santa's Gifts Slider Box Card

Hello and welcome back......

Today I have some more Slider Box Cards to share with you, these are a cute 3" x 3" x 1" deep and I have used the Stamp set Santa's Gifts to decorate them....

 

They are the perfect size for chocolate, (these fit 12 Hersheys Nuggets perfectly), or if you don't want to put Chocolate in then they will fit lots of other things like jewellery, make up, even a pair of socks...lol.

 

I know I have said it loads before but I do love this stamp set, I masked off the bottom part of the card and brayered the top part with Soft Sky ink, then using the trees from the stamp set Wonderland I stamped a few trees in the background with Garden Green ink. I used my White Gel pen to add some snow to the trees and the sky.

 

Inside is a layer of Very Vanilla ( 2 3/4" x 2 3/4" ) which I have stamped Merry Christmas in Real Red, this sentiment is from the stamp set Flurry of Wishes.

 

The card box dimensions are 3" x 12" and scored at 3", 4", 7", 8" and 11" along the long side. The box inner is 4 7/8" x 4 7/8" and scored at 1" on all sides.

 

This one is filled with yummy chocolates....

These boxes are the same width but half the height of the last slider box I made and are really cute, they would be great as teacher gifts or as a little gift for a child to give friends.

I hope you enjoyed, thanks for stopping by.......

Snow Pals Sleigh Ride

Hello and welcome back.....

I don't know about you, but I have phases of doing things, and at the moment I am in my Paper Piecing Phase again!!!  Paper Piecing is a little more time consuming but I think well worth the effort. The card I am sharing today is an A5 card and features some cute little friends out in their sleigh. And aren't they just adorable.....

The base card is Chocolate Chip with a mat of Very Vanilla, I masked off the bottom half of the card and then brayered Soft Sky over the top half of the card. Then using the gorgeous trees from the Wonderland stamp Set I stamped some trees in Garden Green and then removed the mask.

 

The Merry Christmas is from the Sassy Salutations Stamp Set, I stamped it in versamark and then added Gold embossing powder.

 

I added snow to the background using my White Gel Pen, I also used it to add some snow to the trees.

 

I cut out all the pieces for the Paper Piecing on my Silhouette Cameo, I used Choc Chip, Garden Green and Pacific Point for the sleigh, plus a little Gold Paper for the star. The mouse is Crumb Cake and Sahara Sand and the snow bear is Whisper White card stock.

 

Rudolf is Choc Chip, Soft Suede and Crumb Cake, with some Pacific Point for his scarf. The flowers on the wreath are from the Wondrous Wreath Stamp Set and are stamped in Real Red with gold dots in the middle. I used Real Red Card for his nose then added some Crystal Effects to make his nose shine. All pieces have been inked around the edges before assembly.

 

This was such a fun card to make, I just love these adorable little critters......... I have also used a NEW product from the Spring/Summer catalogue, its a glitter brush pen, its really great for fine detail or for large areas that you want to give a little glitter to. Available from January 5th.... pre order your catalogue from me now....

Curvy Keepsake Wednesday

Hello and welcome back to another Curvy Keepsake Wednesday,

This weeks box features the beautiful Wonderland Stamp Set, you so need this set if not for those gorgeous trees then for the Antlers to make your Penguins into Rudolf the Red Nose Penguin....lol.

 

These would be great filled with treats on your Christmas table, or for favours at a winter wedding...

 

I cut out two parts for each box out of Soft Sky card, and then using versamark ink I stamped the trees on each panel of the box, (I masked off one panel whilst working on the other.) Then I sprinkled White Embossing powder over the image and heated it to set it. I did this for each panel individually.

 

Then once all the trees had been done I stamped snowflakes on each panel and heat embossed those with White Embossing Powder too.

 

I stuck each box together using Tombow Glue. Then I cut out two trees for each box out of soft sky card using the Perfect Pines Framelits Dies. I used the smallest tree die first and then I used the die which cuts out little circles on three of the trees I had cut out already to create a little tag.

 

I added some stitch detail to the other three trees and tied them together with White Bakers Twine and attached them to the boxes.

 

And there we have the finished boxes so beautiful, I love them....

I hope you like this weeks Curvy Keepsake Box, thanks for stopping by....

Believe

Hello and welcome back....


I really love today's card, it's just so Christmassy..... Do You Believe in the Magic of Christmas.....

Today's card is a beautiful brayered card inspired by Michelle Zindorf... The colours are Night of Navy. Island Indigo and Pool Party. The bottom of the card has been masked off with some scrap paper ripped into the shape of hills or snowdrifts what ever you want them to be really.

 

I sponged the moon with White Craft Ink and edged it with a white gel pen, then I stamped Santa and his reindeer  in Basic Black and added sparky magic beneath their feet with a white gel pen.

 

I stamped the trees from the Wonderland Stamp Set in black, using my mask to give different levels. Then I used a white gel pen to create highlights on the trees.

 

Lastly I stamped Believe in black on whisper White and punched it out with the word window punch, I added a second word window behind the white, punched out of Lost Lagoon card.

 

It's so, so pretty it makes me feel all Christmassy.....lol

All the supplies needed for this card are listed below, just click on the picture to order.

An Open Heart Christmas

Hey there and welcome back....

Today's card features that beautiful bird from the stamp set An Open Heart, it also uses the New Softly Falling Embossing Folder.

 

The base card is Cherry Cobbler with a Chocolate Chip mat. Then there is a piece of Soft Sky card which has been embossed with the Softly Falling Embossing Folder.

 

I stamped the bird n Basic Black then coloured it with Stampin' Write markers, Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, So Saffron and Crushed Curry. The bow is from the Stamp Set Wondrous Wreath and stamped in Cherry Cobbler.

 

The fence is a piece of Whisper White stamped with the Hardwood Stamp and Smoky Slate ink, it is then trimmed down and the top shaped using paper snips. It is then attached to the card with dimensionals.

 

Before attaching it to the card I stamped the sentiment in Basic Black and added the pine branches that I coloured with markers. I stuck the bow on with dimensionals and added some Dazzling Details here and there... 

 

 

The finished card, so pretty....

I hope you like todays card, thanks for stopping by...
