Have a Dairy Christmas!


Today I’m sharing another Christmas card using Art ImpressionsDairy Christmas Set (4789) that I made for some very nice people that I met on a cruise. We have kept in touch over the years and they own a dairy farm, so I thought this would be a very cute card to send to them.

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″. Stampendous! – Quick Card Backgrounds – Winter Splash was cut to the same size as the card base and applied with double-sided tape.

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 and U-line Double-Sided Foam tape was applied.  The sentiment was stamped directly onto the background with Versa Fine – Onyx Black ink and Ranger – Clear Super Fine Detail embossing powder was applied over top of it. This was heat embossed using a Marvy Uchida – Embossing Heat Tool. The cow was then popped up onto the card. Lastly, Nellie’s Effect Snow and mixed Glitter was applied to the branches of the trees to give them some extra sparkle.

Fishing Gnomes!!


Sharing a birthday card that I made recently for my dad using Stampendous – Gnome Fishing (SSC1341). My dad lives to fish and loves to go whenever possible. Lucky for him, the fisheries usually stock the lake where his camp is. It’s in a secluded spot, so the fish have time to mature and grow.

Using Memento – Tuxedo Black and my MISTI – Most Incredible Stamping Tool, I stamped all of the images onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card. The images were coloured in with Copic markers.

Once the images were completed, My Creative Time – Rectangle Frame Dies and My Creative Time – Rectangle Frame Die Layers were used to die cut the papers. Double-sided tape was used to add the 2 layers to the base of the card.

Merry Christmas From Boo 2014


Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year from Boo (our cat)!!!

This year I used a stamp from Stampa Rosa I22-2628 Kitty under the Tree and first stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

Boo Xmas Card 2014

To colour, I used my Copic, Spectrum Markers and Prismacolor Premier Pencils with some Gamsol and blending stumps.

Then I added a little bit of glitter with my Atyou Spica coloured pens.

For the silver around the picture and the frame, I used Pilot Silver Marker Medium Point.

The background red paper pattern is from some scrap paper that I had and the main card is from Recollections Christmas card collection.

Lastly, I stamped the sentiment with Top Boss embossing pad and Stampendous Stamp-n Stuff Silver Tinsel Opaque using Poly Clear Hero Arts Stamp.

 

Hope you like it. Have a joyous wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!
