Merry and Bright

 

Taylored Expressions "Falling for you" stencil was used for this.  Kim Krener posted on Facebook how she used the fall set and with Holiday colors changed the stencil from fall to holiday.  Merry and Bright are from PinkFresh Studio and the flowers and foliage are from Sizzix. The gems are from PinkFresh Studio.  Taylored Expressions and Gina K Designs inks were used.  This is a mini slim line card 6.5 x 3.25.

Hope you enjoy!

Sizzix Luster Wax

 

The Memory Box die was embossed on a dark blue. Sizzix silver Luster Wax was used to highlight the embossed image.  The sentiment is from Birch Press Design.  The Luster Wax was used on a second dark blue paper to create a silver border.  The image is stamp in black and clear embossed on silver paper.  Hope you enjoy!

Brushstroke Flowers 2

 

Sizzix Brushstroke Flowers 2, Distress inks, Tim Holtz stencil and grit paste along with water color paper were used to make this card.  The sentiment and die are from Gina K Designs.  Hope you enjoy

Christmas in June

It is never to early to begin those holiday cards.  This is I used in a recent class at Fond Memories.  A resist was used to create the snow effect when the Distress ink was applied.  The stamp set is from Penny Black and the greeting a Sizzix die set.  The trees were stamped and without re-inking stamped again,  The use of mirror paper, distress inks and a Tim Holtz star gem.  A simple card to make

tis the Season

A cute little snowman by Hero Arts along with its open Sizzix die  "Snowman pair".  The greeting is also from Hero Arts "Greetings for the Holiday.  The snowman was stamped with Memento Black and colored with Copic markers (YR04, B0000, R46, R20).  The folder is a Sizzix "Dots" that was embossed on paper longer than the folder so it could be trimmed to leave a spot to stamp the greeting.  The snowman is popped, the white mounted on a red  and a simple 4.25 x 5.5 card is made.  Hope you enjoy.

Joy, Jolly, Peace

Joy, Jolly,  Peace is inspired by the Online Card class that I recently took.  This is a very simple card.  I began by cutting a piece of white 2.75 inch by 3.5 inch.  Next using an embossing folder by Sizzix I found a section that I wanted to emboss.  The next step is to lightly brush across the embossed image with Copic BG10 and E50.  Just do this lightly followed by Distress Stain Picket fence.  Allow to dry and then distress the edges with Antique Linen.  I made an A2 card base and rounded the corners.  A 2 x 5.5 piece was cut from Kaiser "Just Believe" and adhered to the card base.  I popped the embossed piece and added two snowflakes.  The snowflakes were cut using an Impression Obsession die and Bazzill Bling-white.  As I said before a very simple card.  Hope you enjoy.

Peace and Joy

This post is the same design with a little change as the card posted yesterday.  The poinsettia was made using  the new Tim Holtz rock candy glitter and cut with a Spellbinder die.  To make it I used wide (1 1/2 inch) score tape on card stock and cut the flower.  The next step was to peal off the protective paper and add the glitter pressing it firmly into the tape.  A gem was added to the center.  The sentiment is from Penny Black "Christmas Cheer" stamped with archival ink and then heat embossed in clear.  The folder is a snowflake from Sizzix.  Hope you enjoy

Merry Christmas

This festive Holiday card was inspired by one from the Online Card Class designed by Jennifer McGuire.  For my card I used a Sizzix snowflake embossing folder and the Tim Holtz diffuser.  The diffuser is an oval shape with Merry Christmas from a Penny Black set stamped with archival black.  The Poinsettia is from a Spellbinder set with a little glitter pen added to the center.   A twine sits behind the flower to finish off the card.  This is one of those that only take minutes to make.  Hope you enjoy.

More Let it Snow

A couple of weeks ago I posted a different version of this card.  The tree for that card had been cut in green.  This card has been embossed with a Sizzix folder and then sprayed with Perfect Pearls.  The embossed folder and card base both have the corners punched out.  The tree was cut with a Spellbinder die and red gems were added.  A Spellbinder ribbon banner was stamped with a JustRite sentiment to finish off a rather simple card.  I have entered this in the My Sheri Crafts "White on White" Challenge.  Hope you Enjoy

Let it snow??

I have not had the time to create this past week so will share a card I played with when I first got this new Spellbinder Tree die.  The card was inspired by one in the summer new release blog hop by Spellbinders.  The sentiment is from JustRite and cut with a Spellbinder Ribbon die.  The embossing folder is one I have had and is a Sizzix.  Sorry about the lighting.  The corners were punched for a little extra effect.  Pearl gems finish off the tree which was cut from Bazzill paper.  I will try this same die using other effects which in time you will see here.  I was working on my August Christmas card class ideas when I made this, but it will not be used.  I am putting this in my stash of cards for the holiday season.  Hope you enjoy
