Ho Ho Ho

A new die to play with from Simon Says Stamps and I'm still using DP from my huge stash! I die cut my words and layered them over striped DP. I then stamped, coloured and fussy cut my penguins. I coloured their feet the wrong colour but we won't talk about that. I drew a fine black border around the top panel before I added my penguins. I added some red dots with a Tombow Pen and added glass finish glue to the baubles so they had a bit of shine. Once I had finished all of that, I foam mounted my panel.

The Season of Peace

 

Adding to my Christmas stash because it is July...I created my background by swiping DI Forest Moss, Rustic Wilderness & Bundled Sage on my mini media mat. I spritzed my watercolour card stock and the distress inks then swirled my card stock to mix the colours. I did that a few times, drying my card in between swipes. I then die cut the panel and stamped my trees and sentiment onto the smaller panel. I also added tiny black dots with a fine point pen for a little added interest. I then layered the panel onto some dark green coloured card stock and layered that onto the full panel matching up the blotches. I finished the card off by foam mounting the front panel.

From Our Family To Yours

I had been playing around with my new Go Press Foil machine and had created this border. I think I'm like a lot of other people and have a lot of designer paper laying around not being used. So after seeing several tutorials on using up your paper with strips, I thought I would give it a go. I die cut my tree and then layered coordinating paper in a pleasing manner and then attached my card panel. I then die cut a star several times, twice in white card and once in gold and adhered them together for a bit of extra dimension. I felt it needed a little something more so I stamped a sub-sentiment and layered it on gold card as well. I used foam tape to lift my panel up as well as the sub-sentiment for some more dimension to finish off the card.

Happy Happy Birthday to You

I created this card for daughters partner. I ink blended my Distress Inks, stamped my background image with Watermark Ink and heat embossed with White EP. I die cut the happy sentiment twice and then three more time with black card for each word. I then adhered them all together and attached to the base and I added a sub-sentiment. I layered the panel onto black and navy card.

Happy Birthday to You

I created today's card with some new dies. I used the cover plate for some subtly interest and then I die cut my 'happy' three times with white card and once with blended coloured card. I then adhered them together for some dimension and added a sub sentiment. I then stamped some small flowers with the scrap card and die cut them with their matching die and adhered, then I finished it off with some tiny stars.

Have a lovely day

I seem to be in the pink zone of late and here is another pink card. I lightly sponged my tiny hearts stencil to create a soft background. I then die cut my panel with a stitched die and then inked the edges with the same DO Kitsch Flaming ink that I used for the stencil.  I then die cut my scribble heart three times and adhered them together. I worked out my placement and added my sentiment and scribble heart and a few tiny pearls for added interest.
