Let It Snow

There were several challenges I was working on with this card: the Creative Confetti: Let there be peace challenge, the Creative Confetti - Let it Snow! challenge, the MFT Stamps Wednesday Sketch Challenge - Sketch 517, and the The House That Stamps Built - Anything Goes Challenge ~ N2520. Personally, I’ve always found snow days peaceful - everything is shut down and the falling snow is quiet & pretty. The design I had for the Let It Snow logo also met the criteria of the MFT sketch as well. Here is the card I came up with:


First, on some watercolor cardstock, I blended on a layer of Catherine Pooler Hot Tub. Next I sprayed it with a silver mica solution and added some Turquoise Brushos crystals. After swirling it around and mixing it all together, I left it to dry overnight and finished drying it with my heat gun.

After using the embossing buddy, I stamped it with my Hero Arts Snowflakes Big Bold stamp using Versamark ink and embossed it using a mixture of white embossing powder and super fine white glitter. Once it was dry I die cut it with a stitched rectangle.

The Let It Snow Design I cut using my Cricut and silver, gray, aqua, and white paper. I glued it together and went over the top layer, except the silver, with a Zig Shimmer pen. 

I made a card base from silver linen cardstock and added the mat & design.


Thanks for stopping by!

Candy Cane Deluxe

Image
For the  Simon Says: Food and/or Drink challenge , one of the examples had a candy cane , so I thought I’d use some too. I just got a pine tree frame die & it would be perfect for that. I could make it look like a tree with candy canes & an ornament. Here’s how it turned out: I used my Cricut to cut the candy canes, ornament, some extra pine sprigs, & the Merry Christmas. The frame was die cut, and I used a scrap of green print cardstock for the backing. I embossed the Merry Christmas in black, then put everything together on a green card base. Thanks for stopping by!

Hydrangea Highlight

The second card I made today was specifically for the  Altenew March 2022 Inspiration Challenge , although I used Colorado Craft Company stamp for it. I had pulled out their Big Hydrangea stamp set to use a sentiment from it so just used the hydrangea part for this. Here is the inspiration picture from Altenew. I went with the colors for this card, as close as I could get, and did a sort of color blocking effect. I’ve seen it before on other cards and thought it looked nice and easy. I started by stamping the hydrangea in black ink on a 4-1/4” x 6” piece of white cardstock. After masking off the edges with low tack tape (I actually used blue painters tape) I masked off the bottom third of the center and blended on Distress Oxide Peeled Paint, masked off the middle portion and used DO Mustard Seed, and used DO Milled Lavender on the top. Using a script Happy Birthday die, I cut it 3 times in white and once in black. After gluing all 3 white pieces together I glued the black piece on th

Red & White

Image
For the  Simon Says: Red White and/or Blue challenge I decided to stick with red & white since I saw this card that I wanted to use for my inspiration, using white instead of gold. I used Distress Oxide Black Soot to blend around the edges, since it’s an ink that blends easily. I used the Gina K Holiday Tapestry stamp for the background, the label is from the Stampin’ Up Painted Labels die set, and the sentiment from the Colorado Crafts Big Hydrangea set. It’s not as elegant, but did turn out pretty, didn’t it? I’m also going to enter it in the The House That Stamps Built Theme Challenge J3021 ~ Red, White and Blue and the Simon Says: Anything Goes challenge. Thanks for stopping by! Sandy
