Snowflake shaker card

Hi everyone. Here is a simple shaker card I made for the following challenges.

CAS Colours & Sketches - monochromatic shades of blue (Happy #200 Birthday challenge)
Sunday Stamps - Sketch - which I changed up a bit..

I used a circle instead of a square. Snowflake stamps are from Carta Bella and stamped in cornflower, dusty blue and stone wash inks from Hero Arts.

Snowflake die and the stitched circle die are from My Favorite Things. Sentiment is from Papertrey, Ink and the snow embossing folder is from Taylored Expressions.

I did stamp a few snowflakes on the inside of the card, as you can see. I also glue a few of the sequins onto the snowflake panel before adding in the other shaker elements so that they wouldn't all fall to the bottom.

That's it for today. I hope all of you in the US have a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends.

Joy

Hi all. Here's my take on a couple of challenges today.

It's all about clean and simple for this one and the bonus of it is, that it can be mass produced.

Joy die is from my local stamp store and you can find it here.=> LINK

I added a snowflake (die from MFT) for the center of the O. You can't tell in the picture, but I did spritz it with some shimmer frost.

Popped the white panel up using foam tape onto a pure poppy card base.

Thanks for stopping by.

Old world Santa

Hi everyone! Here is my take on Less is More's vintage theme challenge.

Stamp is from Verses called Old World Santa. I used Versafine ink to stamp him and then heat embossed using clear embossing powder. I like the shine that embossing gives. Then I added just a hint of pink on his cheeks and nose with Copic markers.

Framed him up using the rectangle double stitched dies from My Favorite Things. I popped it up on the panel with skinny foam tape, then used some fun foam to add the whole thing onto a top folding white card base.

I've experimented using different embossing powders with this Santa image and they all come out fantastic!

Photo inspiration

Hello. It's that time again. Time for a photo inspiration challenge for The House That Stamps Built.

Here is the photo and below is what I did with it.

I didn't have the scarecrow stamp that you will see in the other Rock Star's posts this week, so I went with what I had.

I used the pumpkin stamp and colored it using Copic markers.

Luckily I had some orange and brown plaid designer paper. It came from the DCWV pumpkin patch 6 x 6 paper pack. I also added a strip of burlap to resemble the bail of straw that adorable scarecrow is sitting on.

Lastly, I added a bit of black scrappers floss at the top.

So what are you waiting for?!

Holiday coffee cup

Hi all. I picked up this Hero Arts stamp and die set after waffling about it for some time. I put it to use on this sketch from TGIF Challenges.

I had to use my nano stampoholic tool to get the red ink as dark and even as I could. It took repeated stamping and re-inking to do that.

Red ink and paper are pure poppy from Papertrey, Ink.

Snow embossing folder is from Taylored Expressions.

The sentiment is from Technique Tuesday.

Metallic snowflakes

Hi all. Here is my take on two challenges today. 

I started with the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches. Just us girls trend week is metallic.

So I cut some snowflakes from metallic papers and popped them up on a snowflake embossed panel.

I did use two different thicknesses of foam squares as you can see in the smaller sideways picture below.

My picture is sort of dark as it's ugly gray rainy weather outside today. Perfect excuse to stay inside and craft.

 Thanks for stopping in!
