Gina K Designs – Owls – Merry Christmas!

Dec13

Today I’m sharing another Christmas card using stamps from  Gina K Designs – Holiday Season and Seasonal Patterns and Phrases. Also used, Ornate Frame die from the new Gina K Designs – 12 Days of Christmas Box – Day 1.

To create the card, I began with the card base using Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb. folded to the size of 4.25″ x 5.5″. The edges around the card were inked with a Gina K. blending brush and Gina K. Designs – Powder Blue ink.

With Memento – Tuxedo Black ink and my MISTI, I stamped the image onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card. I coloured in the image with Copic markers listed below. The image was fussy cut, leaving a touch of white all around it. Using a Sakura Glaze – Black pen, I coloured in the eyes and beaks. Then I added a little dot on the eyes with a Gelly Roll Sakura #5 Pen. Spectrum Noir – Sparkles – Crystal Clear was applied to the hats brims and pom-poms to add a little bit of glitter.

The sentiment was stamped directly onto Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb. cardstock, using a MISTI, VersaMark ink and Ranger Gold Embossing powder was applied over top of it. This was heat embossed using a Marvy Uchida – Embossing Heat Tool. The sentiment was die cut using a Cuttlebug and die from Gina K. Designs – Die – Scrolled Gift Card Holder and the frame was die cut using Gina K. Designs – Ornate Frame (Day 1 from the 12 Days of Christmas) and paper from Chloe’s Crafts Paper Pad – 02-3129420. A Sharpie – Gold Medium Point – Water Based Paint was used to create a border around the sentiment die cut.

To assemble the card, using another piece of cardstock from the Chloe’s Crafts Paper Pad – 02-3129420, I cut the paper to the size of 3.5″ x 4.75″ and glued this piece to the Ornate Frame die cut. U-Line Double-Sided Foam tape was applied to the backs of this, the Owls images, sentiment and Dress It Up – Glitter Holly embellishment. The frame was then popped up onto the base card. Next, I popped up the owls, holly and sentiment onto the frame. With a Gelly Roll Sakura #10 Pen, I created snow in the sky behind the owls and onto the holly berries to finish it off.

Matchbook Baby Card!

Dec5

Today I’m sharing a miniature Baby card using Art Impressions – MB Nursery – 5495, MB Template Dies (5317) and MB Envelope Die (5318) that I made for my niece’s  baby shower. She was very surprised when she saw how small the card was. LOL! I always love seeing everyone’s expression when they receive their little matchbook sized cards.

To create the card, I began with the card base using some scrap paper from my stash for the background. The design was only on one side, so I doubled it up and glued it together. Then using a Cuttlebug die-cutting machine and the Art Impressions – MB Template Dies (5317), I die cut the designer paper for the base of the card and also the Sentiment pop-up out of a scrap of white cardstock.

With Memento – Tuxedo Black ink and my MISTI, I stamped all of the images and the sentiment onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card. I coloured in all of the images with Copic markers listed below. Once this was completed, the images were all cut out using Art Impressions – MB Nursery – 5495 dies and the pop-ups were adhered to the card with double-sided tape. The window frames, Baby Blocks and Wording were applied using liquid glue. I stamped the sentiment onto some white cardstock with Versa Fine – Onyx Black ink and applied Ranger – Clear Super Fine Detail embossing powder. This was heat embossed using a Marvy Uchida – Embossing Heat Tool.

Lastly, I die cut the envelope out of some scrap double-sided paper that I had in my stash using the Art Impressions – MB Envelope Die (5318). A smaller message was written on an even tinier miniature envelope to my niece and nephew.

Card Recipe:

Stamps and Sentiment: Art Impressions – MB Nursery – 5495

Paper: Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card, Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb., Designer Paper from my stash

Matchbook Wedding Card!

Aug25

Today I’m sharing a miniature Wedding card using Art Impressions – MB Chapel – 5496, MB Template Dies (5317) and MB Envelope Die (5318) that I made for my cousin Trevor and his beautiful bride Caroline’s wedding a week ago. Wishing them both many joyous and prosperous years ahead with lots of happiness and laughter!

All of their decorations for the wedding were in purple, so I made this little card to match, which I inserted into a larger card that I had made for them.

To create the card, I began with the card base using some scrap double-sided paper, Cuttlebug die-cutting machine and the Art Impressions – MB Template Dies (5317). The floor was die cut using Joy Crafts – Artist Trading Card – Wood Texture paper.

With Memento – Tuxedo Black ink and my MISTI, I stamped all of the images and the sentiment onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card. I coloured in all of the images with Copic markers listed below.  The windows were stamped onto Forever In Time – Vellum Print Stack Pack paper using VersaMark ink and then applying Ranger Embossing Powder White – Extra Fine Detail. The powder was heat set embossed using a Marvy Uchida – Embossing Heat Tool. This gave them a stained glass look. Using the Cuttlebug again, I die cut all of the inside pop-ups, cross and windows using Art Impressions – MB Chapel dies. Lastly, I die cut the envelopes out of some scrap double-sided paper that I had in my stash using the Art Impressions – MB Envelope Die (5318).

Double-sided tape was applied to do the assembly on the tabs and wall items. They were then all adhered to the base card.  Double-sided tape was also applied to the flaps of the larger envelope to complete the assembly. To finish off both the card and the larger envelope, I stamped the sentiments onto some white cardstock with VersaMark ink and applied Ranger Super Fine Gold Embossing powder. This was heat embossed using a Marvy Uchida – Embossing Heat Tool and then cut to size with a cutter and scissors to create the banners. These were both applied to the finished card and envelope using liquid glue as well as the little heart. Then a small message was written on the miniature envelope to the bride and groom.

Card Recipe:

Stamps and Sentiment: Art Impressions – MB Chapel – 5496

Inks: Memento – Tuxedo Black, VersaMark

Matchbook Nativity!

Dec2

Today I’m sharing another miniature Match Book Christmas card using Art Impressions – MB Nativity – 5443 and MB Template Dies (5317). The closed size is 1.75″ x 2″.

To create the card, I began with the card base using Stampin’ Up! Wood Textures double-sided paper, Cuttlebug die-cutting machine and the Art Impressions – MB Template Dies (5317). From the same die set, the sentiment pop-up and star were cut out using Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb. cardstock and Recollections – Matte Gold Foil cardstock.

With Memento – Tuxedo Black ink and my MISTI, I stamped all of the images onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card. I coloured in all of the images and then, using the Cuttlebug again, I die cut all of the inside pop-ups using Art Impressions – MB Nativity – 5443. The windows were done 4 times, 2 for the outside and 2 for the inside of the card. I cut a really small piece of plastic from a clear bag to be the same size as the window and glued it to the card before adding on the outside windows to simulate a window pane. Versafine – Majestic Blue was stamped onto the sentiment pop-up. Lastly, I die cut the envelopes using Craft Smith – Peppermint Twist double-sided paper and Art Impressions – MB Envelope Die (5318). (Not shown in photo.)

Double-sided tape was applied to do the assembly on the tabs. They were then all adhered to the base card. I created a little 1.5″ x 1.5″ white square and attached it to some Recollections – Red cardstock. I then cut around it again to create a slim border. I glued this onto the back of the card in order write my sentiment. The card was then folded up and put into the little match book envelope. Double-side tape was also applied to the flaps of the larger envelope to complete the assembly.

Matchbook Santa Christmas!

Dec1

Today I’m sharing a Match Book sized Christmas card using Art Impressions – MB Santa Christmas – 5442, MB Template Dies (5317), MB Envelope Die (5318)  that I made. Love these little cards as they are so fun to make. The closed size is 1.75″ x 2″.

To create the card, I began with the card base using PhotoPlay – Christmas Memories double-sided paper, Cuttlebug die-cutting machine and the Art Impressions – MB Template Dies (5317). Using the same dies, I also die cut the flooring using Joy Crafts – Artist Trading Card – Tough Texture. This small paper is excellent for the small detail required. I glued this piece to the base and set it aside.

With Memento – Tuxedo Black ink and my MISTI, I stamped all of the images and the sentiment onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card. I coloured in all of the images and applied Pental Slicci – Gold 8.0 pen to the lamp post. A Quickie Glue Pen was used to apply Glitter to Santa’s hat and clothing, the stockings, Christmas Tree Bulbs and on the wreath. With the Cuttlebug, I die cut all of the inside pop-ups using Art Impressions – MB Santa Christmas 5442 and the envelopes using Craft Smith – Peppermint Twist double-sided paper and the Art Impressions – MB Envelope Die (5318). (Not shown in photo.)

Double-sided tape was applied to do the assembly on the tabs and wall items. They were then all adhered to the base card as show above. I created a little 1.5″ x 1.5″ white square and attached it to some Recollections – Red cardstock. I then cut around it again to create a slim border. I glued this onto the back of the card in order write my sentiment. The card was then folded up and put into the little match book envelope.

Owl – Holidays!

Sep24

Today I’m sharing a Christmas card that I made using KLM Digital Designs – Owl – Santa Hat from the new September 2024 Release. This image also comes with 2 other sentiments, “Merry Christmas” and “Owl I want for Christmas is you” besides the sentiment that I have used one this card.

The base card was created to the size of 4.25″ x 5.5″ out of Hammermill – Premium 110 lb. cardstock. Light Blue cardstock and Recollections – Christmas Snow Globe Vellum were cut to the same size as the base. The blue cardstock was attached with double-sided tape and the vellum was attached over top of this with liquid glue. The glue was only applied to the bottom of the vellum and then behind some snowflakes where the glue would not show. Lawn Fawn – Sparkle Cardstock in “Pixie Dust” was cut to the size of 4.25″ x 1.5″ and then cut with scissors to create the wavy ground. This was popped up onto the vellum using U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape. Trees were then added under the hill that were created at an earlier time using my Cricut Explore and .svg files from Miss Kate Cuttables – Snowy Tree using liquid glue.

The image and sentiment were printed out with my HP Printer onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card using High Quality Grayscale and coloured in with Copic markers, then fussy cut. Sakura Glaze – Black pen was used to apply the dot in the eye and a black marker was used to go around the entire out-line of the owl. Cosmic Shimmer Fluffy Stuff was then applied to the hat fringe and pompom. A Marvy Uchida – Embossing Heat Tool was used to heat the liquid to create the fluff effect. Using my finger, I dabbed Stickles – Diamond over the top of the fluff on the hat and pompom.  Stickles – Diamond was also applied to the tops of the snow pieces on the trees.

Once the Stickles dried, 2 layers of U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape and some liquid glue were applied to the back of the image and 1 layer was applied to the sentiment. Both items were popped up onto the card. Lastly, Recollections – Snowflake Specialty Polyester Glitter was placed onto the card to hide where the glue seeped through the Vellum.

Floral Horseshoe – Pansies

Today I’m sharing a CAS card that I made using KLM Digital Designs – Floral Horseshoe – Pansy from the new September 2024 Release.

The base card was created to the size of 4.25″ x 5.5″ out of Hammermill – Premium 110 lb. cardstock. Cuttlebug Embossing Folder – Swiss dots and a Cuttlebug were used to create the background on Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb. cardstock, cut to the size of 4″ x 5.25″. This was popped up onto the base card using U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape.

The image 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, then fussy cut. A Sakura Glaze – Black pen was used to apply the dot in the eye. Recollections – Purple Passions paper was cut to the size of 4″ x .75″. U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape was applied to this and it was centred and popped up onto the Swiss Dots background. Crafter’s Companion Luxury Cardstock – Silver  was die cut 3 times using a Cutttlebug and “Good Luck” die from PaperCrafter Today – 15 Die Cut Sentiment Set. I glued the die cuts together with liquid glue to give them an embossed look and then glued them to the sentiment strip. Lastly, Kraftin’ Kimmie – Dazzling Dots were applied around the sentiment to finish off the card.

Retired – Bye Bye!

Aug17

I finished my last day of work on Friday, August 16, 2024. My official date will be Saturday, September 14, 2024 as I tacked on my vacation pay on the end. 🙂
My co-workers gave me an amazing retirement party and parting gifts and we all had a wonderful time. I shall cherish the memories for a long time to come.

Today I’m sharing a retirement card that I made for my co-workers who were on my immediate Systems Administrator’s team and also the Networking team whom I had worked closely with over the last 13.5 years. Each of the card fronts were created using various stamps from Art Impressions – Pack Your Bags Set.

With My Creative Time dies listed below, a Cuttlebug and papers from Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card, I die cut the rectangles and ovals. Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb. paper was used to die cut the circles. Recollections – Midnight Navy Cardstock was then cut into rectangles 3-7/8″ x 2-5″8″. Using my Cricut and Cricut Design Space, I measured the circle die cut and oval die cut and then created my own solid cuts. To do this I used some white plain printer paper until I was satisified with the cut, then I set the device to cut out 19 of each out of the Recollections – Midnight Navy Cardstock.

The images were stamped onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card with Memento – Tuxedo Black ink and a MISTI. The MISTI was so perfect to use because I made 19 cards in total, so I just positioned the stamps once and then kept substituting the die cut papers until I was done. This made the stamping so easy. I used the same process for the sentiment, except I chose to use Versa Fine – Majestic Blue this time.

The images were coloured in with the Copics listed below. Once all of the images were coloured and the sentiments were stamped, I assembled the 2 pieces for each shape together with liquid glue and set them aside.

The bases of the cards were created using a 5.5″ x 4.25″ base made from Hammermill – Premium Cardstock 110 lb.cardstock. Papers from Creative Memories and PhotoPlay listed below were then cut to the size of 5.25″ x 4″ each. The edges were then inked with Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Chipped Sapphire.

To assemble the card, I used liquid glue to attach the background papers and each of the shapes. These were all adhered to each card. To create the notes on the inside, I used Microsoft Office Word and created 4 sentiments per 11″ x 8.5″ sheet of landscaped paper by creating text boxes at the size of 5.25″ x 4″. Once they were all printed out, I just cut them to size and adhered them with double-sided tape.

Little Girl Gnome and Pup!

Jun27

Today I’m sharing a card using KLM Digital Design – Little Girl Gnome & Pup from the new June 2024 release that I made. This image also comes with 2 more sentiments, “you’re so doggone cute!” and “I wuff you”. All my life, I grew up with pets. They always brought so much joy and laughter to the home and were all so unique!

To make this card, I began with a 5.5″ x 4.25 base card using Hammermill – Premium Cardstock 110 lb.. Recollections – Black cardstock was cut to the same size as the base and was adhered to the card using double-sided tape. Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb. cardstock was cut to the same size as the base. I spritzed the front and back of the cardstock and then using Kraftin’ Kimmie – Pawprints 2 stencil, a rubber mat and my Cuttlebug, I embossed the paper. With the stencil still in place on the paper, using Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Black Soot and Tim Holtz Distress Inks – Candied Apple and small blending brushes, I inked the pawprints and hearts. Once this was done, I cut the paper to the size of 5-3/8″ x 4-1/8″ and adhered it to the black background using double-sided tape.

The image and sentiment were imported into Microsoft Word and printed out onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card. The image and sentiment were coloured in with Copic markers. The freckles were applied to the cheeks using Gelly Roll Sakura #8 Pen and the eyes and nose for the dog were added using a Sakura Glaze – Black pen. Gelly Roll Sakura #8 Pen was applied for the dot in the eyes and accent on the nose for the dog.

My Creative Time -Stitched Squares Inside and Out was used to die cut the image. I applied a border around the image and sentiment using Recollections – Black cardstock. U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape was applied to both the image and sentiment and they were centered on the card.

Work Hard, Travel Harder!

Apr28

Today I’m sharing an outdoors camping card using KLM Digital Design – Camper Boy from the new April 2024 release. This image also comes with 2 more sentiments, “Make S’more memories” and “Let’s go camping!”. One way to see the world is to just hook up the camper and just start driving, letting the adventure take you to all different locations to explore.

I began making my card by creating a 5.5″ x 4.25″ base made from Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb. cardstock. I cut Recollections – Black cardstock to the same size and adhered it directly to the base. Authentique – “Rustic Three” paper was cut to 5.25″ x 4″ and then all edges were inked with a finger dauber and Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Aged Mahagony. This was then centred onto to the black cardstock with double-sided tape.

The image and sentiment were imported into Microsoft Word and printed out onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card. The image was coloured in with the Copics listed below and then fussy cut. The sentiment was cut using a cutter and then it was attached to black cardstock. Once again, I used the cutter to leave a small trim all away around it. U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape was applied to the image and sentiment and they were both popped up onto the card.

Old Fart!

Apr1

Today I’m sharing a birthday card using Whimsy Stamps – Old Geezer and sentiments from their Old Fart stamp set and Old Fart Word Die that I made for my younger brother this week! Couldn’t resist teasing him about getting older and entering into his 60’s!. LOL!

I began making my card by creating a 5.5″ x 4.25″ base made from Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb. cardstock. I used 3 circles that were cut out with Photo-Play – Circle Windows Etched Dies and Echo Park – Birthday Girl – Bouncing Balloons from a previous card that I made. Tim Holtz Distress Inks: Salty Ocean and a blender brush were used to colour the white circle and then the same ink was used to ink the edges around the other 2 circles and card base.

The image was stamped onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card with Memento – Tuxedo Black ink and a MISTI. It was coloured in with the Copics listed below and then fussy cut. Using the MISTI again for placement, I stamped the sentiments using Versa Fine – Onyx Black ink. This was then embossed with Ranger – Clear Super Fine Detail embossing powder and then heat embossed with a Marvy Uchida – Embossing Heat Tool. With a Cuttlebug and dies from Whimsy Stamps – Old Fart Word die set and Art Impressions – Journal Letter Die Set, I die cut out the sentiments with black cardstock.

To assemble the card, I used liquid glue to attach the die cut wording and “60” onto the circles. All of the circles were applied to the base card using liquid glue. The main image was popped up onto the base card using U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape. I also added a few more fun sentiments from the same stamp sets on the inside of the card too! LOL!  My brother loved his card and I hope you do too!

Let’s Go Camping!

Mar27

Today I’m sharing an outdoors camping card using KLM Digital Design – Camper Girl from the new March 2024 release. This image also comes with 2 more sentiments, “Make S’more memories” and “Work hard, travel harder“. As a child, I used to love going camping and sitting around the campfire at night with the family. How about you?

I began making my card by creating a 5.5″ x 4.25″ base made from Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb. cardstock. With blending brushes and Concord & 9th – Cardscapes (C9 Summer Camp) stencils I created the background. I first created the sky using the mountain stencil from the set and Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Salty Ocean. I traced the stencil onto some regular copy paper and cut it out with some scissors to get the reverse of the stencil. This was placed over the sky and Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Lost Shadow was applied onto the scene. With the same stencil as before, I used the opposite side and added in the next layer using Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Hickory Smoke. Lastly, for the bottom mountains, I just inked over everything with Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Pumice Stone. I taped off the bottom of the card and applied Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Mowed Lawn up to the base of the mountains. From the same set, I applied the evergreen trees using Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Rustic Wilderness.

The image and sentiment were imported into Microsoft Word and printed out onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card. The image was coloured in with the Copics listed below and then fussy cut. The edges were all inked with black marker. The sentiment was cut using a cutter. With a blending brush and green ink left over from the forest and trees, I blended some ink over top of the sentiment. U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape was applied to the image and sentiment and they were both popped up onto the card. I added in some small shadows and grass using some water, #1 Paintbrush liner and some ink from Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Rustic Wilderness to complete the card.

A Little Birdie Told Me…

Dec19

Today, I’m sharing a masculine birthday card using KLM Digital Design – Birds Nest Gnome from the new December release. This image also comes with 2 more sentiments, “Spread your wings & fly” and “Just popping in to say hello“.  It looks like this little birdie told all of his friends too because they’re all ready to party with their hats on. LOL!

Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb. cardstock was used to create a 5.5″ x 4.25″ card base.  I cut the paper from Doodlebug Design Inc. – Party Time paper pack to the sizes of 5.5″ x .75″ and 5.5″ x 3.5″ and applied them directly to the base card. .5″ x 4.25″ was applied across the bottom and the thin stripe is 4-7/8″ x 1/8″.  The edges were inked around the card using  Tim Holtz Ranger Distress Ink – Chipped Sapphire.

The image and sentiment were imported into Microsoft Word and printed out onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card. Using a Cuttlebug, I die cut the image using Lawn Fawn – Zig Zag Rectangle Stackables. The image was coloured in with Copic Markers listed below and then popped up onto the base using U-Line double-sided foam tape. The sentiment was fussy cut and then applied with glue to a scrap piece of navy blue cardstock. Once again, I fussy cut around it and then applied U-Line double-sided foam tape and popped it up onto the card. Lastly, I added some Stickles – Diamond to the pompoms on the hats.

Sweater Weather!!!

Dec14

I went to an amazing Ugly Sweater crop this week at The Scrap Club and I thought it would be fun to make a Christmas card for a few of the ladies using New Sweater Weather and New Ugly Sweater Stencil by Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps.

To make my cards this week, I began with a card base of Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb. cardstock, cut and scored to be 5.5″ x 4.25″. Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb. cardstock was also cut to the same size. Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps – New Ugly Sweater Stencil were applied to the paper using blending brushes and Krafty Kolours – Flirty Flamingo, Krafty Kolours – Ocean Opulence. I wanted to keep the background soft.

With my MISTI and Memento – Tuxedo Black ink, I stamped the images and the sentiment onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card. Memento – Summer Sky ink was used to stamp the image of the pond. I coloured the images in with Copic markers and fussy cut all around them. I glued the stump and pond directly to the base. The mouse and bear were attached directly on top of the pond with glue. U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape was attached to the bunny, penguin and sentiment and they were all popped up onto the card. Krafty Kolours – Ocean Opulence ink was applied around the sentiment before adding it to the card.

Cosmic Shimmer Fluffy Stuff was applied around the stump and the pond and then heat embossed with a Marvy Uchida – Embossing Heat Tool. Lastly, I added Stickles – Diamond for the snow on the top and side of the stump and to add some sparkle to the ice.

Hula Hoop Gnome!

Dec5

Today I’m sharing a card using KLM Digital Design – Hula Gnome from the new December release. This image also comes with 2 more sentiments, “Your so much fun to be around” and “I like being around you”.  This hip gnome knows how to use a Hula Hoop! I did too in my younger days, now, not so much! LOL! For some strange reason, I just can’t seem to find the rhythm! How about you?

Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb. cardstock was used to create a 5.5″ x 4.25″ card base.  I inked around all of the edges with blender brushes and a mixture of Tim Holtz Ranger Distress Ink – Wilted Violet, Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Fossilized Amber and Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Prize Ribbon.

The image and sentiment were imported into Microsoft Word and printed out onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card.

Today I’m sharing a Get Well card using KLM Digital Design – Sitting Gnome from the new November release. This image also comes with 2 more sentiments, “Don’t let the little things bug you” and “Feel better soon”. This is the time of year when a lot of people start catching colds.

Hammermill – Premium Cardstock 110 lb. was used to create a 5.5″ x 4.25″ card base.

The image and sentiment were imported into Microsoft Word, printed out onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card and then die cut using My My Creative Time – Rectangle Frame Die Layers.

Bookworm Gnome!

Oct24

Today I’m sharing a couple of very simple bookmarks using KLM Digital Design – Bookworm Gnome from the new October 2023 release. This image also comes with 1 more sentiment, “A book a day keeps reality away” besides the 2 I’m showing here.

The images and sentiments were imported into Microsoft Word and printed out onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card cardstock and coloured in with Copic markers.

 

I made one image slightly smaller than the other one and then to cut them both out, I used my Cuttlebug and die cut from Art Impressions – 5223 – Bookmark Dies. They are both ready now to laminate and to add tassels to before I give them away to a happy reader.

Sweetest Wishes!!

Oct13

Today, I’m sharing a Christmas card from the new KLM Designs October release called Christmas Bunny – Candy Cane.  This stamp set also comes with 2 other sentiments, “Wishing you a December full of candy cane wishes and mistletoe kisses” and “All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth”.

To make the card, I first imported the image and sentiment into Microsoft Word and printed everything out onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card using my HP Printer. Using my Cuttlebug and Creative Expressions – Festive Collection Peeking Snowflake dies, I die cut around the image and at the same time, die cut a larger oval out of Recollections – Silver Foil Cardstock from the same die set. The image was coloured in with Copic markers. Gelly Roll Sakura #10 Pen was used to create the snow in the sky and also to add some highlights to the eyes. For the snow surrounding the bunny on the ground, Cosmic Shimmer Fluffy Stuff was applied and then I added in some glitter while it was still wet. Then snow was heated from the bottom of the image and then on top using a Marvy Uchida – Embossing Heat Tool to puff it up. Stickles – Diamond was then applied to add in some more glitter. Stickles – Diamond was also applied to the hat brim and pompom.

The sentiment frame was die cut with my Cuttlebug and My Creative Time – Stitched Zig Zag Ties. The sentiment was cut to the size of 2.5″ x 7/8″ and then using a We R Memory Keepers – Crop-A-Dile Corner Chomper, I used the 1/8″ corner. With a B000 Copic marker, I applied it over the entire sentiment piece to give it a hint of colour. The image and the sentiment were attached to the Silver die cuts using U-Line Double-Sided foam tape. Creative Expressions – Festive Collection – Pearly Snowflake Border was used to die cut the snowflakes out of Lawn Fawn – Sparkle Cardstock in “Pixie Dust”.

The card was now ready to assemble. I cut the base card from Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb. cardstock to the size of 9″ x 8″ and then scored it at 4″ and folded it in half. Reminisce Snowflake Ridge – Snow Day paper was cut to 9″ x 4″ and applied to the base card using double-sided tape. Liquid glue was applied to the back of the snowflake border and it was attached to the top of the card. Double-sided tape was added to the silver oval and sentiment border and they were both applied directly to the base of the card. Lastly, I added in some sparkle dots from Your Next Stamp and inked around the entire card with a finger dauber and Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Blueprint Sketch.

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.

Graveyard Gnome – Witch!

Sep28

Today I’m sharing a Hallowe’en card using KLM Digital Design – Graveyard Gnome – Witch from the new September 2023 release. This image also comes with 2 more sentiments, “You totally rock, Ghoulfriend!” and “If the broom fits…”.

Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb. cardstock was used to create a 4.25″ x 5.5″ card base. Craft Consortium – Ink Drops Vivid Craft Papers was cut to the same size as the base. With my Cuttlebug and PhotoPlay – Say It With Stamps – #6 Haunted House Coverplate Die, I die cut the haunted house out of Recollections – Black cardstock and then cut along the bottom of the fence. I traced the fence bottom onto another piece of Recollections – Black cardstock and fussy cut it. The 2 pieces were then glued together. With some scraps of yellow cardstock, I cut out a few pieces and glued them to the back of the house. The entire house and base were attached to the  Vivid Paper background with glue.  Now that the pieces were assembled, I adhered the finished background directly to the base using double-sided tape. Lastly, the top edges were inked with Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Black Soot and a finger dauber. The moon was also cut out using the same die cut set from Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card.

The image was imported into Microsoft Word and printed out onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card cardstock and the sentiment onto Recollections – Purple Passions cardstock. The image and the moon were coloured in with Copic markers. I fussy cut the image and then used a black marker to go around all of the edges. With U-Line Double-Sided Foam tape, the image and moon were attached to the front of the card. The sentiment piece was cut to the size of 4″ x 5.25″ and it was adhered to the inside of the card using double-sided tape. Lastly, to finish the card off, I added in 3 little bats onto the front of the card and 2 shoes on the inside using Stampendous – class a’peel stickers – Cats & Bats Black.
