World Card Making Day 2015

Since it is a little rainy outside, I decided to stay inside and hunker down in my craft room and make some cards, in celebration of World Card Making Day.

I'll start with a couple of cards that I made with Twinkle, the October Stamp of the Month from CTMH.  They are both pretty simple.

I random stamped the December 25 stamp, with Pacifica and Glacier ink, and inked the edges with Glacier. I also used Whisper ink to do the stars. I used silver shimmer trim, Glacier and White Daisy cardstock. The sentiment is CTMH Say It All. I also used a Bitty Sparkle on the sentiment.




The second card was made using White Colonial, Cranberry and Olive cardstock. The "Merry Christmas" sentiment was made using the Artiste Cricut cartridge.  I embossed the Olive cardstock using the SU! Lucky Star embossing folder, but you really can't notice it, since there is not much of the cardstock showing. I used a Bitty Sparkle, and CTMH Cranberry, Olive and SU! Chocolate Chip inks. I think I should have stamped some more lightbulbs on this one! Next time...


My next 2 cards are Christmas cards as well (shocker! I love making Christmas cards!).  The first one uses CTMH kraft paper as the base, and CTMH White Pines B&T paper, Olive, Cranberry, and White Colonial cardstock. I embossed the Olive cardstock with my Swiss dots (by Cuttlebug) folder. I also used Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels Four to cut out Cranberry and White Colonial cardstock. I used the CTMH Believe in Christmas present stamp (with SU! Chocolate Chip ink), and paper-pieced using the White Pines B&T and Olive cardstock.



And the last one I will share today uses the stamp set from the White Pines cardmaking kit. The wreath was stamped in CTMH Cashmere ink (all of the other colours are the same as above). I really love working with the White Pines B&T because it reflects my favourite Christmas colours - Cranberry and Olive/Fern. This card I really love because of the Fern Thick Twine bow :)

Thanks for looking at my projects and Happy Card Making Day!! :)

Merry Christmas Slimline

I did another card from this week's  Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge  (sketch #469). This time, I did a Christmas card! I used Gina K's woodgraining technique (you can find a tutorial here ). I also used Distress Frosted Crystal embossing powder; here's a close-up of the effect: For the snowflakes and the sentiment, I cut the shapes out twice and glued them together to make them thicker. Very happy with how this one turned out! :) Supplies : Dies: Merry Christmas sentiment (unbranded), Tim Holtz Sizzix Holiday Greens Mini, Pink & Main Stitched Slimline, SU! Snowfall Thinlits Paper: SU! Mossy Meadow, Real Red and Very Vanilla cardstock, Recollections Gold Foil cardstock Ink: Distress Oxide Vintage Photo, SU! Crumb Cake Embellishments: Distress Frosted Crystal embossing powder, CTMH Gold Bling Gems

Did somebody say 'coffee'?

Happy sunshine-y Thursday everyone! It's a gorgeous day here in NS, and I'd much rather be outside on my deck drinking coffee, than at work, sitting at my desk, drinking coffee. But I digress... This is my entry into the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge  this week. I didn't want to do a traditional floral wreath, as depicted in the sketch, so I thought I'd branch out and try a coffee cup wreath? :) This card is also my entry in the Coffee Lovers Summer Blog Hop ! I discovered this blog hop just a few days ago, and I thought I'd create a coffee-themed card - because I am, in fact, a Coffee Lover! Supplies : SU! Coffee Break Suite including: Coffee Cafe stamp set, Coffee Cups dies and Coffee Break DSP and coordinating card stock (Chocolate Chip and Pear Pizzazz) SU! French Foliage stamp set Paper Pumpkin March 2018 "May Good Things Grow" stamp set (for the Happy Birthday) CTMH Gold Pearls Forever in Time natural burlap tape

I reworked the card a bit. Added a bigger circle and moved the flower down. I think they both look good. Just playing around with the design a little more.
