Thankful for You!

Nov12

Today I’m sharing a simple Thanksgiving card that I made using KLM Digital Designs – Pre-Colored Dinosaur Pumpkin from the new November 2024 Release. Our Canadian Thanksgiving has past, but the American Thanksgiving is happening soon!

The base card was created to the size of 4.25″ x 5.5″ out of Hammermill – Premium 110 lb. cardstock.  Chocolate brown paper from the Creative Memories – Croptoberfest 2021 Sampler Pack , was cut to the same size as the base and adhered to the card. Next, I cut 2 strips from PhotoPlay – Gnome for the Holidays Thanksgiving paper to the size of 4-1/8″ x 1″ and some Thanksgiving paper 4-1/8″ x 3-3/8″ from my scrap stash paper. The followings inks were used to apply ink around the edges of the papers: Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Carved Pumpkin, Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Aged Mahogony and Tim Holtz Distress Inks – Peeled Paint. All of the pieces were adhered to the base with liquid glue.

I chose a sentiment from PhotoPlay – Autumn Greetings by Becky Moore – Element Stickers and applied it to some regular cardstock and then fussy cut around it. U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape was applied to the image and sentiment and both items were popped up onto the card. Kraftin’ Kimmie  Dots were added to the bottom to complete the card.

Dino-Mite Holiday!!

Oct5

Today, I’m sharing a Christmas card from the new KLM Designs October release called Christmas Dinosaur.  This stamp set also comes with 1 other sentiment, “Merry Christmas”. Christmas is coming soon and Dino is all set with his Christmas lights, hat and songs for the season!

To make the card, I first imported the image and sentiment into Microsoft Word. I sized both the image and sentiments to fit 5.5″ x 4.25″ and printed everything out onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card using my HP Printer. The image was coloured in with Copic markers. Gelly Roll Sakura #10 Pen was used to create the snow in the sky and Pink & Main – Touch of Gloss was added to the lights. I added some Stickles – Diamond to the bumps to make them look like gum drops and also the brim of the hat and pompom. Dino likes to be festive. LOL! Lastly, a mixture of Stickles – Icicle and Stickles – Diamond were added to create the glitter in the snow. Once all of the Stickles was dry, I cut the image to the same size as the base and used double-sided tape to adhere the 2 pieces together.

Dinosaur Pilgrim!!

Sep14

Hi Everyone, I took most of the summer off to enjoy the beautiful weather and also to visit family, so I didn’t make a lot of cards. But, now I’m back and ready to start sharing some weekly creations with all of you!

Today, I’m sharing a Thanksgiving card from the new KLM Designs September release called Dinosaur Pilgrim.  He’s loving the fall colours and is sending everyone some special wishes! This stamp set also comes with 2 other sentiments, “Autumn Blessings” and “Happy Thanksgiving”.

To make the card, I first imported the image and sentiment into Microsoft Word. I sized both the image and sentiment to fit 5.5″ x 4.25″ and printed everything out onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card using my HP Printer. The image was coloured in with Copic markers. Gelly Roll Sakura #8 Pen was used to create the whites of the eyes. I drew in the tree and leaves on the tree and added in the sky and background. A Black PrismaColor pencil was used to go around the entire image of the Dinosaur, pumpkin and leaves on the ground to make them stand out more. I fussy cut around the sentiment and ran both pieces through a Xyron Create a Sticker and attached 1 piece to some orange and the other to some green scrap cardstock that I had. Scrapbook Adhesives 3D Foam Strips were added to the back of the sentiments and they were both popped up onto card.

Sharing the third and last image and sentiment from KLM Digital Designs today from the new February release called Dinosaur Collection. The images are great for masculine cards! This image and sentiment is also great for a young person’s birthday too!

To make the card, I first imported the image and sentiment into Microsoft Word. I sized both the image and sentiment to fit 5.5″ x 4.25″ and printed everything out onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card using my HP Printer. The image was coloured in with Copic markers. The eyes were all black in the original image. I used Sakura Glaze – Black to make the eyes stand out more. Gelly Roll Sakura #10 Pen was then used to create the whites of the eyes and Copic marker G07 was added to give them some colour. Finally, Pigma Micron 03 black marker was used to give the dinosaur some eyelashes. Once all of the colouring was completed, I attached the image to the base using double-sided tape.

As a side note, I used Jess Crafts – Colouring Mountains at Dawn Youtube video for some inspiration on colouring the mountains in the background.

Over The Hill Dinosaur!!

Feb21

Sharing the first image and sentiment from KLM Digital Designs today from the new February release called Dinosaur Collection. Love this collection and the images are great for masculine cards too! Over the next few days, more images and sentiments from this set will be posted. Watch for them! LOL!

To make the card, I printed out the main image onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card using my HP Printer and coloured it in with Copic markers. Microsoft Word was used to import the shape and line weight of 3 was used for the thickness. I imported the sentiment and sized it to fit inside the shape. This was printed out on Recollections – White cardstock and then I used my cutter to keep the lines straight.

To add some dimension to the card, I die cut some small clouds using Nellie’s Choice – Nature Scene Dies – NSD002 – Sky using Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb. paper. Copic markers were used to add some colour to them. My Creative Time – Stitched Squares Inside and Out die was used to cut out the main image and Creative Expression Craft Dies by Sue Wilson – Noble Dies – Double Pierced Squares – Set B were used to die cut the larger square using Recollections – Black cardstock.

To assemble the card, the 2 squares were attached using double-sided tape. The clouds and sentiment were popped up using 3M VHB – 2 sided tape. Larger cloud was attached with Tombow glue.

Darcy the Dinosaur!!

Dec8

Today, I’m sharing Darcy the Dinosaur from KLM Digital Designs December Release. The image comes with 4 different sentiments, “I think you’re dino-mite”, “Happy Anniver-Saury”, “Heard You’re Jurassick” and “Have a Rawrsome Birthday”. I decided to create my own Jurasic scene for Darcy this week and added the sentiment on the inside of the card.

To make the card, I printed out the image onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card using my HP Printer. I coloured in the image with Copic markers and then I fussy cut around the image. A black marker was used to go around all of the edges. Then I put it through my Xyron Creative Station, as I wanted it to lay completely flat on the finished background. The sentiment was printed out and added to the inside of the card. I chose “Have a Rawrsome Birthday”.

For the background scene I cut Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card to the size of 4.25″ x 5.5″ and drew in my own scene. I also used Kraftin’ Kimmie – Krafty Scenery 3 stencil for the basic outline of the palm tree and leaves. To add some added texture to the grass, I used a piece of old rag with little bumps on it and some Isopropyl Alcohol. Once the background was completed, I added the Dinosaur directly on top of it. I glued the back and then adhered the entire finished piece to my base card cut to 4.25″ x 5.5″.
