Happy Valentine’s Day Bear!

Feb14

Today, I’m sharing a Valentine’s Day card that I made for my husband this year using Kit and Clowder – January – February 2024 Markers – Valentine’s Bear Bonus Class on-line colouring class taught by Alyce Keegan for the front of the card and Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps  – Your Gnaw-some! by Neda Sadreddin for the inside of the card.

The base card was created to the size of 5.5″ x 5.5″ out of Recollections – Red cardstock.  I printed out the image for the cup and bear from the card class using a HP Printer onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card.  The bear, cup and hearts were coloured in following the instructional video by Alyce Keegan from Kit and Clowder. Once this was completed, using a Cuttlebug and Waffle Flower – Nesting Square dies, I die cut the image using the 4.25″ x 4.25″ die. The background was coloured in with a BG000 marker and then I added in the sentiments using Cloud 9 – Matt Blending Ink – Strawberry Sundae for the “I Love You” and then restamping it again using VersaMark. Versa Fine – Onyx Black was used for the “Happy Valentine’s Day” sentiment. Both sentiments were embossed with Ranger – Clear Super Fine Detail Embossing Powder and then heat embossed using a Marvy Uchida – Embossing Heat Tool. Anna Griffin – 3D Square Cardcentric Compendium Dies were die cut using the Cuttlebug and the 5-1/8″ x 5-1/8″ die out of Recollections – Matte Gold Foil cardstock. I applied the finished image onto the frame with liquid glue. U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape was applied to the back of frame and it was centered onto the front of the card.

For the inside of the card, the image for the beavers was stamped onto the same Copic paper using Memento – Tuxedo Black ink and a MISTI. This was coloured in with Copic markers listed below and then fussy cut. The sentiments were all stamped using the same method and inks as above that were used for “The Happy Valentine’s Day” sentiment. I coloured in the heart and the lettering with Copic markers and then fussy cut around all of the sentiments. Liquid glue was applied to all of the pieces and they were adhered onto the card. Lastly, to finish everything off, some Kraftin’ Kimme Hearts Krafty Dots were added.

Dancing Gingerbread !

Dec20

Today I’m sharing an interactive Christmas card that I made using Spellbinders – Dancin’ Gingerbread – S5-609 and Dancin’ Christmas Sentiments – STP-216. I could play with this card all day watching them swinging them back and forth! LOL!

Love these fun dies and just had to try them out. Using the die cuts, I cut all of the body pieces for the Gingerbread man and woman using the dies and a Cuttlebug. Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Rusty Hinge was then applied all around the edges with a finger dauber. All of the reds were die cut using Recollections – Red cardstock and then inked around the edges with Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Aged Mahogony. Just to give the pieces a little depth. For the cheeks, I added a little bit of pink chalk to make them rosier. All of the sparkle white pieces were die cut using Lawn Fawn – Sparkle Cardstock in “Pixie Dust”. I really love the glitter of this paper. The scarf pattern pieces were die cut out of Hammermill – Premium Cardstock.

The base card was created to the size of 4.25″ x 5.5″ out of Hammermill – Premium 110 lb. cardstock. Recollections – Red cardstock was cut to the same size as the base. Next, I cut 2 pieces of Recollections – Holiday Basics paper to the size of 4-1/8″ x 7/8″ and applied these to the top and bottom of the card. The centre piece was cut to the size of 4.25″ x 3.5″ and then inked around the edges with a finger dauber and Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Worn Lipstick. All of the paper pieces were adhered to the base card using liquid glue.

The Gingerbread were assembled along with some small scraps used to create the cheeks and eyes. White Gelly Roll Sakura #10 Pen was applied to each of the eyes to give them a little more character. The swinging mechanism was applied to the backs of the Gingerbread and My Favourite Things – Spin & Slide Discs were attached to the card using liquid glue and double-sided tape.

Lastly, I stamped the sentiment onto Hammermill – Premium Cardstock with VersaMark ink and applied Ranger – Rich Red Embossing Powder to it. A Marvy Uchida – Embossing Heat Tool was applied to the powder to heat emboss it.  This was cut down to 3-1/8″ x .75″ and both sides were notched with scissors and Tim Holtz Distress Ink -Worn Lipstick was applied around the edges with a finger dauber. U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape was applied to the sentiment and it was popped up on the card to complete it.

Christmas Tree Gnome!

Nov22

Today I’m sharing a Christmas card that I made using KLM Digital Designs – Christmas Tree Gnome II from the new November 2024 Release.

The base card was created to the size of 4.25″ x 5.5″ out of Hammermill – Premium 110 lb. cardstock.  The image was printed out onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card using High Quality Grayscale and then it was die cut using a Cuttlebug and My Creative Time – Rectangle Frame Die Layers (3.5″ x 4.75″). The image was then coloured in with Copic markers listed below.  A white Gelly Roll Sakura #10 Pen was used to create the white snow in the sky and also the sparkles on the snow drifts on the ground. Recollections – Red cardstock was cut to the size of approximately x 3.75″ x 5″ and the finished image was directly applied to this using liquid glue. Once again, liquid glue was applied to the red rectangle and it was adhered directly to the base card. Finally to finish it off, I popped up a sentiment from Creative Expressions – Wordies Sentiment Sheets – Christmas Script (CEW022) using U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape.

Gnome One Else – Valentine’s!

Feb24

Today I’m sharing a Valentine’s card using Whimsy Stamps – Gnome One Else Clear Stamps that I made for my husband this year!

The image and sentiments were stamped onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card cut to the size of 7″ x 5″ using my MISTI and Memento – Tuxedo Black ink. I created a base card to be 7.25″ x 5.25 using Recollections – Red cardstock. I coloured in all of the images with Copic markers listed below. The hearts were applied using Kraftin Kimmie – Happy Hearts Stencil and Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Lumberjack Plaid using a blending brush. Once this was completed, using the MISTI for placement, I applied the sentiments using Versa Fine – Onyx Black from the same stamp set. Ranger – Clear Super Fine Detail embossing powder was applied and then heat embossed with a Marvy Uchida – Embossing Heat Tool. Using a finger dauber and Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Picked Raspberry, the edges of the Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card were inked all around.  The coloured image was then applied to the base card using double-sided tape.

My husband loved his card and I hope you do too!

So Mushroom In My Heart!!

Oct15

Sharing a card I made today using these adorable images from Sweet Sentiment- Internet Troll. He’s in the mood for love, are you?

For the base card, I used AC Cardstock – White and cut it and scored it to be 6″ x 6″. I die cut Craft Consortium – It’s Snome Time paper and Recollections – Red cardstock using my Couture Creations – Go Power and Emboss and Creative Expression Craft Dies by Sue Wilson – Noble Dies – Double Pierced Squares – Set B. The grass was cut with the same cutting machine, green cardstock and Lawn Fawn – Simple Grassy Hillsides die cut. I ran the grass through the die cut machine again using the same size square that I had used for the smaller mushroom background. Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Pine Needles was applied around the edges of the smaller mushroom square. Using double-sided tape, I applied the larger mushroom background directly to the base card. The lawn was layered and applied to the small mushroom square. The red square and smaller mushroom square were both applied to ivory cardstock using double-sided tape. Using my cutter, I cut around the edges leaving a small border. The red and ivory square were then applied directly to the base background using double-sided tape. The mushroom square, grass, ivory square combo were popped up onto the red square using 3M double-sided tape.

Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card was used for the images and sentiment. The images were coloured in with Copic markers. I fussy cut around all of the images and sentiment and inked around the sentiment with Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Pine Needles. Using glue, I adhered the images to the mushroom background and in between the grass. The sentiment was popped up using 3M double-sided tape onto the card to finish it off.
