Christmas Wagon Kitty!

Nov20

Today I’m sharing a Christmas card that I made using Dis Digi Stamps – Christmas Wagon Kitty (Retired).

The base card was created to the size of 4.25″ x 5.5″ out of Hammermill – Premium 110 lb. cardstock. Craft Smart – Hot Buy – Happy Pawlidays paper was cut to the same size and adhered to the base using double-sided tape. Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Rustic Wilderness was inked around all of the edges of the card using a finger dauber. I chose a sentiment from Photo-Play Santa Paws Cats – Stickers and applied it to some red cardstock from my stash and then fussy cut around it and set it aside. With my Cuttlebug, I die cut Crafter’s Companion Luxury Cardstock – Red matte finish with PinkFresh Studio – Essentials: Folk Edge Squares.

The image was printed out with my HP Printer onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card using High Quality Grayscale. The image was coloured in with Copic markers. Sakura Glaze – Black Pen was used to colour in the eyes and nose. The eyebrows, mouth, tail and finer details on mouse were enhanced using a PrismaColor Black pencil. The whiskers were also added using the black pencil. Gelly Roll Sakura #5 Pen was applied to create the dots in the eyes and on the nose. To create the snow in the sky, Gelly Roll Sakura #10 Pen was applied to make some snowflakes larger and smaller than others. On the presents, a UNI Posca Pen – Gold was used on the ribbon and dots on the presents. Lastly, Stickles – Diamond was applied to the cuff of the hats, pompoms and snow on the ground.

The card was now ready to assemble. U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape was applied to the image and it was popped up onto the red square die cut. Once again, it was applied to the die cut and the sentiment. Both items were then popped up onto the card to complete it.

Owl Carol

Dec3

Today, I’m sharing a Christmas card that I made using a retired image from Di’s Digistamps called Owl Carol.

For the base card, I used Hammermill – Premium Cardstock 110 lb. and cut it and scored it to be 5.5″ x 5.5″. For the background, I cut Hunkydory Adorable Scorable Pattern Packs – Let It Snow paper to the same size as the base card and inked around the edges and along the bottom with Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Prize Ribbon. I adhered this to the base card with double-sided tape. Washi Tape was then applied directly to the left side of the card base. Waffle Flower – Nesting Square dies and Cuttlebug were used to die cut a 4.25″ x 4.25″ piece of dark blue cardstock.  Precision Cutting Dies by Frantic Stamper Inc. “Falalalala” was used to die cut the sentiment 4 times. 3 times with the dark blue cardstock and 1 time using Recollections – Matte Gold Foil cardstock.

The image using HP High Quality Grayscale was printed onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card and die cut using Cuttlebug and My Creative Time -Stitched Squares Inside and Out. The image was coloured in with Copic markers and Cosmic Shimmer Fluffy Stuff was added to the bottom of the image for the snow. Marvy Uchida – Embossing Heat Tool was applied to the snow to puff it up. Stickles – Diamond was applied to the puffy snow to add a little more sparkle and also to the top of the lantern and tree branch. Gelly Roll Sakura #10 Pen was applied in the sky to create a snowy background. Sakura Glaze – Black and Gelly Roll Sakura #5 Pen were added to the noses on the mouse and rabbit. The finished image was popped up onto the blue square cardstock using 3M – double-sided foam tape and then this was attached to the base card using U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape. The “Falalalala” sentiments were attached together to give the illusion of being 3-D and applied to the card using liquid glue to finish it off.

Jolly Reindeer Cheers!!

Nov12

Hi everyone…today we are having a sponsor day over at the Passionate Paper Creations & Friends FB group site with Di’s Digi Stamps!! Today I’m using this adorable reindeer image from Di’s Digi Stamps called Jolly Reindeer Cheers.

For the base card, I used AC Cardstock – White and cut it and scored it to be 6″ x 6″. For the background, I applied Craft Consortium – It’s Snome Time (6″ x 6″) to the base using double-sided tape. Green cardstock cut the size of approximately 1″ was added to the bottom using double-sided tape. I added Crafts – Sparkling Stickers – 02-3068629 – Red to Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb. to make it more sturdy and then cut 2 pieces, 1″ x 6″ and .75″ x 6″ to add to the top and bottom. I applied double-sided tape to adhere it the card. I ran some gold cardstock from Forever In Time – Glam Glitter Cardstock – Gold Medley cut to the size of 1.25″ x 6″ through my Xyron Create a Sticker. Using my Cuttlebug and Your Next Stamp – Jingle Bell Border Die, I cut the bells out. I peeled off the sticker backing and applied it to the top of my card. Using Lifestyle Crafts Cutting Dies – Nesting Circles – I cut out a circle 3.75″ from the same cardstock and using U-Line double-sided tape, I popped it up in the centre of the card background. The same dies were also used to cut a 3.5″ circle out of Craft Consortium – Ink Drops Vivid Craft Papers and this was popped up onto the gold circle using U-Line double-sided tape. Hot Buy Craft Smart – Holiday Glitz Glitter Paper was cut and I ran it through my Xyron Creative Station. This was used to die-cut the sentiment with my Cuttlebug and Jolly Quickutz – Deck the Halls limited edition gift set. The sentiment was die-cut 4 times and stacked on top of each other to create a raised embellishment and placed in the centre of the red and green stripe on the bottom of the card.

I printed out the image using HP High Quality Grayscale onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card. The image was coloured in with Copic markers and then fussy cut. It was popped up onto the smaller circle using U-line double sided tape to complete the card.
