Hello My Fellow Crafters,
Today I want to share with you our 2013 Christmas Card. I had so many ideas (does that surprise you – LOL) but I was really running out of time so I had to decide quick.
So with all of these supplies, I wanted a card that was not too complicated, but still looked good. This year I think I have eaten more candy canes then ever before and not the peppermint ones either. I bought raspberry ones that are yummy! So it is appropriate that our card this year would be a candy cane.
I stamped the image with tuxedo black memento ink, and colored with Copic sketch markers and Prismacolor markers. Then added some Stickles onto the bow for that extra “bling”.
This is what the card started to look like. I found the story “Legend of the Candy Cane” online and printed it out on the same vanilla cardstock that I stamped the images on. Then using red cardstock cut 3 panels and using the Martha Stewart border punch, I punched the top and bottom.
With each panel complete the final Christmas card looks pretty good.
Well now that I have them finally done, I need to get them out in the mail. Thank goodness there are 12 days of Christmas 🙂
Hello My Fellow Crafters.
Fall is my favorite time of year. Pumpkins, scarecrows, beautiful colors of the leaves changing and the list can go on and on. Today I want to share with you a fall handstamped/handmade greeting card that came out pretty darn cute 🙂
This Scarecrow was stamped on white cardstock with tuxedo black memento ink, colored with Copic sketch markers, then cut out using cutter-bee scissors. I wanted some texture and dimension to this card so I decided to use the Cuttlebug. I took the two blue panels and put them into an embossing folder of a tree, so when the card is closed you can see the entire tree.
As cool as that looked it still needed “something” so using a paper punch of small leaf I punched out some leaves and used small dots for some dimension. Then I found some 3D stickers in my stash of this birdhouse and bird, so thought that would be the perfect addition. Still this card needed some more color so I cut two panels of colorful fall leaf cardstock. Once I added those panels the colors of the scarecrow came to life. Finished it off with some raffia and a wooden heart shaped button.
~ Happy Fall Ya’ll ~
Hello My Fellow Crafters,
Today I want to share with you a great handmade card that I made for our dear friends. I wanted it to be special and I also wanted to try out the Double-Z-Fold technique.
