Woodland Snowman Noel

Hello and welcome back....

I have a real cute card to share with you today, created using the Snow Place Stamp Set and matching dies....Remember Bundle and save.....

I used Thick Whisper White card for my base and layered it with a piece of Island Indigo. Then I took a piece of Whisper white and put it through the Big Shot in the Woodland Embossing folder, but before I did that I inked up the Embossing folder with some Island Indigo ink, so I got that great background...such a fab technique...

 

I stamped all my pieces for the snowmen and then cut them out using the matching Framelits dies, then I assembled each one ready to add to the card.

 

I cut the Noel from the Wonderful Wreath Framelits out of Red Glimmer Paper and stuck it to the card using Tombow glue. I also stamped the little bird from the stamp set Santa's Gifts, I coloured him in and cut him out...so cute.

I added a piece of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper to the bottom of he card to look like sparkly snow and then I put the Snowmen and the little Bird on with dimensionals.

 

Such a cute card I love the way they are looking at the bird and it makes them so happy...

 

There are lots of different accessories you can use with the Snowmen and the Penguin, this card has him wearing a Santa hat..

 

And remember if you buy the Snow Place and Snow Friends Bundle you save 15% off the regular price if brought separately.....Awesome..

Hope you like today's card, thanks for stopping by...

Woodland Halloween

Hi there and welcome back...

I am loving today's card, its a Halloween card and it features the Among the Branches Stamp Set and the fabby Woodland Embossing folder...The colours are so rich its beautiful...

 

The colours used on this card are Cherry Cobbler, Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry, Soft Suede and Basic Black.

The background is brayered first in Crushed Curry the whole length of the Whisper White Card front, then Pumpkin Pie is brayered two thirds down and lastly Cherry Cobbler is brayered over the top third.

 

The card is then put in the Woodland Embossing folder and then put through the big shot. Then Soft Suede is brayered gently over the trees, and the owl and crows stamped in Basic Black so that they are sitting on the branches. Oh and some spooky eyes here and there....

 

The Happy Halloween is from the And Many More Stamp Set and has been stamped in Basic Black and punched out with the Word Window Punch. I punched a black word window and offset it behind the Happy Halloween.

I hope you like today's card, thanks for stopping by....

Thinking Of You At Christmas

Hello and welcome back...

Today's card is almost the same as yesterday's but created a different way......

 

So instead of sponging the card before putting it through the Big Shot, I brayered versamark onto the Embossing Folder the side with the trees sticking up and put the plain card into the folder and through the Big Shot. Then I sprinkled clear embossing powder over and heat embossed.

 



 

Then I sponged over the card with Soft Sky, Marina Mist and Island Indigo and where you have heat embossed the ink doesn't take so you have lovely white shiny trees and a beautiful coloured background.

 



 

I made the banner in the same way but used the sentiment from the Stamp Set Embellished Ornaments and stamped it in Basic Black.

 

I used the smaller Label Punch to do the side bits and used Island Indigo card to go with the Island Indigo base card.

 

Instead of stamping the leaves directly on to the card I stamped them onto some Whisper White card and then cut them out and stuck them on to the card. The Bird was done in exactly the same way as yesterday and I cut out the branch freehand for the bird to stand on.



 

 

So here are the two cards side by side, I love both them but I am leaning towards the one on the right....

 

I hope you have enjoyed today's card, thanks for stopping by....

Happy Wonderful Christmas

Hi there and welcome back...

Today's card features the Woodland Embossing Folder and An Open Heart Stamp Set with the beautiful sentiment from the Wondrous Wreath Stamp Set...

 

This card was inspired by one made by Michelle Zindorf, although I have had to improvise as I didn't have all of the products that she used. The gorgeous bird is from An Open Heart Stamp Set, its stamped in Basic Black onto Whisper White card and coloured in with Crumb Cake, So Saffron and Delightful Dijon Stampin' Write Markers. It is then cut out ready to attach to the card.

 

The background has been sponged using Soft Sky, Marina Mist and Island Indigo Inks (I didn't have any sponges so I used my daubers which didn't quite get the same finish), not too bad though.. Then you put it through the big shot in the Woodland Embossing Folder.
The next step is to brayer Smoky Slate ink over the raised trees, followed by Whisper White ink.

 
I hand cut the branch as I didn't have the Among the Branches Stamp Set (it will be on my next order though!!!) I sponged it with Smoky Slate  and Whisper White inks and then stuck it on the card. The tiny leaves are from the Perpetual Birthday Calendar Stamp Set (Very Useful) Instead of the Among the Branches Set ( I so need this set) and are stamped in Pumpkin Pie and Delightful Dijon.

 

The beautiful sentiment is stamped in Basic Black onto Vellum and attached to the card and then I have taken a Decorative Label punched out of Basic Grey card, cut it in half and attached it to the side of the card, then finished it off with some White Candy Dots.

 

I'm still pretty pleased with the final card, check out Michelle's card HERE

Thanks for stopping by have a great day..

Woodland Christmas

Hello and welcome back....

Happy 1st October..... If you saw Tuesday's post then today's post is along the same theme, but instead of Halloween we are talking Christmas....

For each of these cards I created the background the same way as for the Halloween card, but instead of using a brayer to apply the versamark I just put the pad straight to the card so instead of just the trees being glittered the whole card is glittered...

I used the Scalloped Tag Topper to create the tag and stamped the beautiful sentiment from the Flurry of Wishes Stamp Set in Night of Navy on it and finished it with a bow made from Night of Navy Seam Binding Ribbon.

You can kind of get an idea just how sparkly this card is, its is just so beautiful, I love it....

 Here is another, this time I used Pacific Point ink..

 It's so pretty....

I love this sentiment too...I kind of wanted to write Follow the Star, but instead I stamped some stars and added a little star in he sky...

This one I used Island Indigo ink, which is my favourite?  mmm I don't know I love them all......

Hope you enjoyed, thanks for stopping by....

Woodland Halloween

Hello and welcome back..

I have a fantastic card to share with you today, it's using a really cool technique and the Woodland embossing folder. It's not a new technique but it is really fun and a bit messy....lol. 

The base card is Pumpkin Pie Card, topped with a layer of Basic Black and finally the embossed layer which is Whisper White. So I started off with the piece of Whisper White and the Woodland embossing Folder. Open up the embossing folder, you want the side where the background is raised not the trees and you are going to ink up this side, either by putting the ink pad straight on the folder or by using a brayer..its up to you.. Then you put your white card in the folder and put it through the Big Shot.

You end up with the background being orange but the trees staying white. Next I gently brayered over the raised trees with versamark ink, sprinkled on some heat and stick powder and heated it until it changed colour then sprinkled on some Dazzling Diamonds glitter and heated it again to set the glitter...just beautiful..

For the sign I stamped the sentiment in Basic Black and cut it out using the Word Window Punch and matted it onto some Basic Black card.

 I added some little bats and some spiders to make it seem spooky....

Its hard to see from the photos but the trees are so sparkly it really makes the white of the trees stand out...

If you like today's card pop back on Thursday for some more using this technique...

Hearth & Home Birthday

Hello and welcome back......

Today's card features the Hearth and Home Thinlits Dies, the Woodland Embossing Folder and the Sprinkles of Life Stamp Set...

For this card I started off with a Crumb Cake Card Base. Then I put a piece of Very Vanilla at the top and a piece of Neutrals DSP on the bottom half of the card.

I cut two windows out of Soft Suede Card and used one of them to make a rail to go across the middle of the card. Then I cut a piece of Vanilla to go behind the window and put it through the big shot in the Woodland Embossing folder. Then using my brayer I brayered Crumb Cake ink over the raised trees and added two little birds one on the tree branch and one on the window frame.

The Happy Birthday is from the Sprinkles of Life Stamp Set, as is the tiny bird and the little flower used to decorate the top half of the card. I used the Word Window punch to cut out the Happy Birthday.

The basket of leaves is also made using the Sprinkles of Life Stamp Set. This is a really versatile set, you can make ice creams and cupcakes and trees and baskets of flowers, its a kind of mix and match set, really useful. Plus with every sale Stampin'Up donate £2 to the Ronald McDonald House Charities...

I decorated the inside of the card, I love that tiny  bird its so cute....

I am loving this set of thinlits....

Casper's Halloween Treets

Hello and welcome back....

I have another Casper Halloween Card to share with you today, this time he's indoors, getting ready for a bit of Trick or Treating.....

 

The base card is Chocolate Chip with a layer of Pumpkin Pie, followed by a layer of Very Vanilla card....

 

I stamped Happy Halloween at the top of the Very Vanilla Card and then cut out a window using the Hearth and Home Thinlits Die. Then I cut a piece of card to go behind the window and put it through the Big Shot with the Woodland Embossing Folder. Then using my Brayer and Crumb Cake ink I brayered over the raised trees...

 

Then I sponged the Window with some Crumb Cake and added some little bats before sticking it behind the window.....



 

I stamped some tiny pumpkins on to the lower half of the card and a sentiment on the bottom of the card... Then I added Casper clutching his Candy Corn....

He is oh so cute.....

 

And there we have it another super cute Halloween card.......

Hope you enjoyed, thanks for stopping by....
