Happy Holidays

Hello. Playing in the Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge of Happy Holidays today.  I used a bunch of die cuts from various companies to create this. 

The joyful pine branch is from Carta Bella, as is long leaf, which is called holiday branches. Small pine is from Memory Box. I cannot remember who the poinsettia die is from, I did a search and came up empty from all of the stores I usually purchase from. Which means that it's probably retired now. 

I cut it out of Neenah solar white 110 lb cardstock and used distress oxide picked raspberry with a blending brush to color the centers. I also spritzed it with shimmer spritz so it's sparkly all over. Added some dew drops for interest and called it good. 

Sentiment is from the tiny words Christmas set from Simon.

Thankful

Hello and Welcome to another Fusion Card Challenge, where you can use the sketch or the photo or both. Here is what I did with it.

 

I actually used both sides of the graphic. I was inspired by the white flowers and used them with the circles in the sketch.  Heat embossed the flowers using detail white embossing powder. I used a border die to create the point on the kraft cardstock that mimics the table runner in the photo. I had fun with this one!

Please check out the Design Team’s creations for this challenge, once again, they have knocked it out of the park.

Take life one sip at a time

Hi there - day five of my entries into the Fall/Winter coffee lovers blog hop. 

Festive holiday Cocoa Cup is a singleton that I picked up at my local Ben Franklin's last year. I believe it's from Stampendous. Sentiment is from MFT stamps and heat embossed in gold.

I used some stickles on the holly berries, which took me a while to get out of the bottle since I don't use them much. Mug is simply colored with Copic's. 

Entering this into The Paper Player's color challenge too. 

Sending you a cup of cheer!

Hi there - day four of my entries into the Fall/Winter coffee lovers blog hop.

Red wood designer paper is from the new Tim Holtz Holiday collection.  Plaid designer paper is from authentique believe paper pack.  Coffee cup die is from Paper Smooches. Added the holly to be a bit festive. I got the little die as a free gift a while back from someone.  Came in handy today. Sentiment is from Hero Arts.

Waxed paper embossing folder resist

Hello. It's my turn to share a project of the week. I'm doing a technique this week using waxed paper, an embossing folder and an iron to do a resist.

This technique is so fun! Basically, you take a piece of waxed paper and emboss it using an embossing folder, then iron it onto a piece of cardstock and ink it up. I used color fuse ink cubes from Rubbernecker direct to paper to color the background. But you could use blending brushes, blending foam or whatever you wanted to color with. I did a light and a dark version. 

I inked up the solid maple leaf, then fussy cut it out to tuck it behind each of the sentiment panels on the cards. The burlap like material is actually a wide ribbon that I wrapped around the panel before taping it down.

Ok - that's it for now. Have a great day!
