Sending flurries of love


I love this January Card Kit of Simon Says Stamp. I did heat embossed the "snowflakes" with "WOW" raspberry coulis embossing glitter.
 I did watercolored them with distress ink "peacock feathers".
And I used the "SSS" A2 Card Curved Edge for the watercolor cardstock.


I love the embossing glitter, it gives the card a shiny look.

Place cards for Christmas


For these place cards I did a "partial diecutting" technique, again. I did the partial diecut about the half of the Christmas tree and then I fold the rest of the white card stock.


I put a pinch of glitter to the stars with "Wink of Stella. For coloring I used "Prismacolor", building up colors with different green for the tree. And also for the other images.


                                        Stamps: Lawn Fawn "Trim the Tree" and it's coordinating die.
                                                      Lawn Fawn "Clark's abc's".

Fleece Navidad (partial diecutting)


For this tag I did a "partial diecutting" technique. First I did a partial diecut for the bulbs, than the sheep. The last step was with a circle die.
I colored the sheep with "Zig Clean" and "Wink of Stella". Also the bulbs are colored with "Zig Clean".
                                                      
 
For the background I blend with "deep sea" dye ink (it's the perfect ink for a night sky) and than heat embossed the stars with silver embossing powder.
 
 
Materials: Lawn Fawn "Baaah Humbug", "Cozy Christmas", "Starry Backdrops", "Stitched Circle Stackables. Lawn Fawndamentals "deep sea".

Christmas Tags (scalloped border die)


It's a long time that I don't use my "paper pads", so for these Christmas tags was it the right moment.
I used the Lawn Fawn "Stitched Scalloped Borders", "Tag, You're It", "Trim the Tree" dies.
And lawn trimmings "gold sparkle" and "peppermint" single cord


I put foam adhesive, so the Christmas trees had some dimension on the tags!

Merry Christmas


After a few weeks of vacation, where we had a great time on the Disney cruise and Miami!! I decided to begin with my Christmas cards.
For this card I stamped the bulbs first, then "mask" them. And then I stamped the reindeer and the beer and also masked them, so I could work on the background.
I used "chalk" for the background, it blended softly.
I colored the animals with "prismacolor" and "gamsol".
For the snow I used "metallic" white marker and the sentiment I stamped it with "lobster" dye ink lawn fawn.
And ofcourse "glossy accents" on the bulbs.


Stamps Lawn Fawn: "Party Animal" and "Cozy Christmas".
Lawn Fawn die: "Stitched Circle Stackables".
