Merry Christmouse!

Jan23

Today I’m sharing a Christmas card that I made using DisDigiStamps – Twas the Night Before Christmas for the main image and sentiment from Jaded Blossom – Mouse Bites!

The image was printed out with my HP Printer onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card using High Quality Grayscale and then die cut using a Cuttlebug and My Creative Time – Rectangle Frame Layers. The image was coloured in with Copic markers and then a White Gelly Roll Sakura #10 Pen was applied to create the snow falling from the sky and snow drifts in the snow. Uni Posca Pens – Yellow, Light Blue and Red were applied to the bobbles in the tree and Uni Posca Pen – Gold was applied to blue present.

The base card was created to the size of 4.25″ x 5.5″ out of Hammermill – Premium 110 lb. cardstock. The base pattern was cut to the same size using paper from Crafts Christmas and applied directly to base with double-sided tape. The gold frame for the image was die cut using a Cuttlebug, Chloe’s Crafts paper and My Creative Time – Rectangle Frame Dies and the frame for the sentiment was die cut from Frosty Frame Festive Collection Die Sue Wilson Creative Expressions.

Then using a MISTI, navy blue paper from my stash and VersaMark ink, I used Jaded Blossom – Mouse Bites to stamp the sentiment. Ranger Embossing Powder White – Extra Fine Detail was applied on top of the ink. The embossing powder was heated with a Marvy Uchida – Embossing Heat Tool and then die cut using Waffle Flower – Additional Oval dies.

The card was now ready to assemble. Double-sided tape was applied to the back of the image and sentiment and they were applied directly on the gold cuts. U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape was applied to the backs of the gold die cuts and then both were popped up and layered onto the card. Lastly, liquid glue was applied to the gold stars left over from the die cut and they were placed around the sentiment.

Make Lemonade!

Jan21

Today I’m sharing an inspirational card using KLM Digital Design – Lemon Gnome from the new January release. This image also comes with 2 more sentiments, “I could just Squeeze you!” and “Squeeze the day”.  I’ve always loved lemons and they are good for so many different things, baking, tea and they are high in Vitamin C, just to name a few.

Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb. cardstock was used to create a 5.5″ x 4.25″ card base. I had found Crafts Designer Paper – 02-3093268 at Dollarama and thought this paper was perfect for this card. I chose 2 patterns from this paper pack and cut the darker pattern to the size of 5.25″ x 2.25″ and the other piece to the size of 5.25″ x 2.75″. Two rectangles were cut out of Recollections – Black cardstock to the size of 5.5″ x 2.75″ and 5.5″ x 3″. With yellow cardstock and my Cuttlebug, I die cut the large oval using Waffle Flower – Additional Oval dies and the larger circle with Lifestyle Crafts Cutting Dies – Nesting Circles. All of the edges for the patterned pieces and the yellow die cuts were inked with Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Mustard Seed.

The image and sentiment were imported into Microsoft Word and printed out onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card. With my Cuttlebug, I die cut the large oval using Waffle Flower – Additional Oval dies and the smaller circle with My Creative Time – Bunch of Fun Circle Dies. Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Squeezed Lemonade was applied to the outer edges of the smaller circle. The image was coloured in with Copic markers.

For the assembly of the card, I applied the 2 patterned pieces together with the black cardstock using double sided tape. I placed the colourful piece down first onto the base card and then the second piece was applied over top of that one. Both were adhered with double-sided tape. The image and the sentiment were both popped up onto the larger oval and larger circle using U-Line Double-Sided tape. I applied U-Line Double-Sided tape to the backs of these combined pieces and then popped them both up onto the card. Finally, I added in some YNS Gumdrops – Tropical Paradise around the sentiment to complete the card.
