Kit and Clowder – Elemental2 Spirits!

Jan29

Today I’m sharing a Birthday card that I made following a video from the Kit and Clowder – December 2025 Markers – Elemental2 Spirits colouring class by Alyce Keegan.

The base card was created to the size of 5.5″ x 5.5″ out of Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb. cardstock. Using a mixture of blending brushes I began from the bottom of the front of the card just along the edges with Tim Holtz Distress Inks: Squeezed Lemonade, Fossilized Amber, Spiced Marmalade, Ripe Persimmon and Fired Brick. I did this to try and create a fiery effect to match the image.

The large die cut pattern was die cut using a Cuttlebug, die from Anna Griffin – 3D Square Cardcentric Compendium Dies and Recollections – Matte Gold Foil cardstock and popped up onto the base with U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape.

The image provided by Alyce was printed out with my HP Printer onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card using High Quality Grayscale and coloured in with Copic markers. Once I finished colouring the image, Anna Griffin – 3D Square Cardcentric Compendium Dies were used to die cut the image with a Cuttlebug. The sentiment was cut from Paper Rose Studio – Happy Birthday Sentiment Sheets and then using some of the ink that was left on the brushes, I coloured over top of the embossing. The image and the sentiment were then popped up onto the card using U-Line double-sided foam tape.

C’mon Baby Light My Fire!

Jan27

It’s Wednesday, and this week, I used Walker Walter – TLF013 (High Hopes Rubber Stamps) and Walker Winnie – TLF012 (High Hopes Rubber Stamps) for the main images and Light My Fire – F154 (High Hopes Rubber Stamps) for the sentiment. I thought I would create a Senior’s Valentine’s card with these fun images. This could also be used for an Anniversary card too. After all, you’re never too old to be in love!!!

To make my card this week, I used Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb. for my base at 4.25″ x 5.5″. I taped down the card onto a glass mat and then used the stencils Flames – Honey Bee Stamps to create the background using various Tim Holtz Distress inks which I have listed below.

I stamped both the images and sentiment using my Misti and Memento – Tuxedo Black ink onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card. I coloured in the images using Copic Markers. Then I fussy cut around both images and in between the walkers. The sentiment was also fussy cut and I cut into 2 pieces to fit my design better. I added 2-sided tape to the back of my sentiments and then attached them to a small piece of Martha Stewart Crafts – Enchanted Woodland paper. Ran this through my Xyron Create a Sticker and then fussy cut around the sentiment again. I found the white too bright when I added it to the card, so I used Copic Y11 to give it some colour.

For the main images, once coloured, I ran both of them through my Xyron Creative Station and adhered them directly to the base. I used my Cuttlebug to cut some hearts out of Martha Stewart Crafts – Enchanted Woodland paper using Sizzix Framelets – Hearts Dotted die. Then I ran them through my Xyron Create a Sticker to change them into stickers and placed them directly onto the base. For the few spots on the images that I didn’t fussy cut, I used Copic markers YR23, YR16 and YR15 to fill in the white spaces.
