Year of the Horse 2026!!

Mar4

Sharing the Chinese New Year’s card I made this year using Inkadoo – Clear Horses Stamps and Extraordinary Chaos SVG’s for Year of the Horse Alphabet By Sarah Christie for all of my friends. This year is the “Year of the Horse”.

To make the card, used Recollections – Christmas card bases which were 5″ x 6.5″. The svg’s were brought into Cricut Design Space and then cut out with Cricut Explore device using Recollections – Matte Gold Foil cardstock. I had some issues with lines between the lanterns cutting out, so I hid them in Cricut Design Space and then was able to successfully cut out the numbers. I believe it was because I was cutting them out so small. The lettering was also done in Cricut Design Space using Dela Gothic One Font. The outer frame was die cut using a Cuttlebug, Gina Marie Designs – Nested Scalloped Stitched Rectangles and Recollections – Matte Gold Foil cardstock. The inner frame was die cut using Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card and My Creative Time – Rectangle Frame Dies.

Using a MISTI and Memento – Tuxedo Black ink, Inkadoo – Horses was stamped onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card. The image was coloured with Copic markers.

The card was now ready to be put together.

U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape was added to the gold frame and the coloured image. The coloured image was popped up onto the gold frame and the gold frame was popped up onto the card. Liquid glue was added to each of the numbers and lettering and they were adhered to the front of the card.

For the inside, I created a sentiment and printed it out using an HP Printer. Google Translate was used to translate the “Happy New Year” into Chinese.

Sharing a card I made today combining the image from KLM Digital Designs April Release called Bride Gnome and image and sentiment from Groom Gnome. These images could be used separately or together and come with multiple sentiments.

To make the card, I first imported the image into Microsoft Word and printed it out onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card using my HP Printer. I coloured in the image with Copic markers. Then I printed them out again on regular copy paper and used my Brother Scan and Cut  to cut around them. I used these as masks over top of the coloured images. Using multiple Tim Holtz inks listed below, I created the sky with a stencil I had created from Avery Elle – Pierced Clouds Die and grass stencil I created from Lawn Fawn – Grassy Hillside Borders.

For the base card, Recollections – Christmas Cards and envelopes paper was used at the size of 5.5″ x 4.25″. I die cut the finished coloured image with Your Next Stamp – Stitched Rectangle Die Set (YNSD214) and glued it to the base.
