Christmas – Owl-idays

Nov4

 

Back to share another Christmas card I made using Craftin Desert Diva’s Owl-idays stamps, Stitched in Circle Dies and Stampin Up – Woodland Embossing Folder.

I love how this turned out. I hope you do too!!!

 

Happy Owl-idays

To colour the tree bark I used my black copic pen 100 and then outlined the trees with Pigma Micron 03 black marker.

In between the trees used Tim Holtz “Broken China” and “Tumbled Glass” for the sky. The sky is actually darker than it shows in the photo.

Used Ceramcoat – White Acrylic paint and a little bit of water and paint brush to create the snow effect.

Stamped owls with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. All of the owls bodies were coloured with Copics E33, E35 and E37. Feet, Y02 and beak YR16 and YR04. Eyes, Y02, E33 and Gelly Roll Sakura #8 Pen . The belly on the one was coloured with E31.

The hats and Santa jacket were coloured with Copics R27 and R29.

Santa hat and scarf on the lower branch were coloured with Copic markers BG05, B24,and R27. Used Martha Stuart Holidays Blue Topaz Tinsel Glitter on hat as well.

Used Liquid Applique 322 Col#0 White and my heat gun to create the fluff on Santa outfit and hat.

Sentiment was stamped with Versamark and then Stampin Up White Super Fine Embossing Powder.

Cut the frame for the wreath out 3 times and layered it, moving it slightly each time to create the affect.

Used “Crafts” red pearls to add little holly berries to the wreath. Then finished it off with a little red bow.

Hope you like it!

 

Christmas Penguins – Let’s Chill

Oct27

Here to share another card that I made.

The adorable penguin and sentiment is from Craftin Desert Diva’s “Chill Out” stamp set.

 

Merry Christmas Penguins- Chill Out2Let's Chill

Included both pics as one shows the sparkle better than the other one.

I stamped the little penguin with Memento Black Tuxedo ink and then coloured it in with a mixture of Copics and Spectrum Noir markers.

Used some DecoArt Glamour Dust on the hat and top of the stocking.

To make the eyes shiny, I used Glossy Accents.

The die cut frame was done with my Cuttlebug and the die from Craftin Desert Divas “Banner Dies”.

I used Sizzix Tim Holtz Alterations Snowflakes for the snowflake patter and AC Cardstock. After embossing, I used some light sandpaper to make the snowflakes stand out more. Then I added some blue gem stones. To make the snow, I used Gelly Roll Sakura #8 pen.

The design behind the penguin is from My Creative Time – “Stitched Belly Band Deies”.

The patterned paper background is from “Home For Christmas” Paper pad 6″ x 6″ pad.

The card base is white card stock.

Hope you like it!

 

 

 

Christmas Penguins – Igloo card

Oct27

Hi There,

Back to share a Christmas card that I made this past weekend.

 

Christmas Penguins - Igloo            Christmas Penguins - Igloo - Close Up

The adorable penguins are from Craftin Desert Diva’s “Chill Out” stamp set. I just fell in love with these little characters.

The sentiment is also from the same set.

I stamped the little penguins with Memento Black Tuxedo ink and then coloured them in with a mixture of Copics and Spectrum Noir markers.

To make the eyes shiny, I used Glossy Accents. Also, first coloured in the little tree balls and then added some coloured “Stickles”.

To make the igloo from “Go Canada”, I used Cricut Design Space and my Cricut Explore, black, gray cardstock and Glittered Christmas Cardstock for the white.

The tree to the right of the igloo is from Miss Kate Cuttables. I really love this little tree and with being an .svg file, I can make them all different sizes. Added some Wink of Stella – Glitter White to the snow on the tree. Unfortunately, it does show up that great in this pic.

Added some “Sookwang Be Creative” double sided tape over heavy weight white cardstock by AC Cardstock to make the snow using my Cuttlebug, embossing folder  “D’vine Swirl”. Next, I die cut the snow with Craftin Desert Diva’s “Outdoor Landscape” dies. After that, I peeled off the top layer of the tape and sprinkled DecoArt Glamour Dust onto the embossed image. I felt this gave the snow more sparkle.

The die cut border was done with my Cuttlebug and the dies from Craftin Desert Diva’s “Fancy Frame Dies”. The patterned paper is from “Home For Christmas” Paper pad 6″ x 6″ pad.

I also used this die cut on the Swirly snow base as well.

The card base is from Recollections “Frost” Card and Envelope set.

Hope you like it!

Snowman Globe

SnowGlobe Snowman1 SnowGlobe Snowman HB in 300 dpi

It’s Christmas in July!

Here is a snowman shaker card that I made.

This is a close-up.

Snoman - Closeup

To make the card, I used my Cricut Explore to cut out the snow globe from “Cricut Cartridge – Joys of the Season – #M3EAF0″.

To make the window, I merged together the large circle and a small rectangle in Cricut Design Space.

Next, I put the smaller globe on top of the merged piece and then used the slice tool.

This enabled me to cut the cardboard pieces out. I cut out 4 pieces of thin cardboard and then glued the cellophane across the top.

I had received some flowers and kept the cellophane that they used to wrap the flowers up with.

Works great for shaker cards and it cuts easily.

The snowman is from Peachy Keen Stamps –

“PK-1346 Picture Snow Day”

Sentiment is from Craftin Desert Diva’s “Chill Out”

Used my Cuttlebug to cut the Snow using Craftin Desert Diva’s – “Landscape Dies” then embossed with “D’Vine Swirl”

Background paper behind snowman is from Recollections Signature – Blue Christmas 6 in x 6 in paper pad.

Snowmwan’s jacket was paperpierced from DCWV Premium Paper Pack – Assorted papers.

Card base is Recollections – Frost.

I used Spectrum Noir Pens LV1, LV2, CR4, BT1 and Blender pen to colour.

Memento – Tuxedo Black was used for sentiment and for stamping the snowman.

Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year from Boo (our cat)!!!

This year I used a stamp from Stampa Rosa I22-2628 Kitty under the Tree and first stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

Boo Xmas Card 2014

To colour, I used my Copic, Spectrum Markers and Prismacolor Premier Pencils with some Gamsol and blending stumps.

Then I added a little bit of glitter with my Atyou Spica coloured pens.

For the silver around the picture and the frame, I used Pilot Silver Marker Medium Point.

The background red paper pattern is from some scrap paper that I had and the main card is from Recollections Christmas card collection.

Lastly, I stamped the sentiment with Top Boss embossing pad and Stampendous Stamp-n Stuff Silver Tinsel Opaque using Poly Clear Hero Arts Stamp.

 

Hope you like it. Have a joyous wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!
