Hi crafty friends. It’s Lisa Mears here. I love sipping hot chocolate to stay warm on a cold winter day and today I’m sharing a hot chocolate card to send warm winter greetings.
I used the Winter Mug die set and filled the mug with a candy cane, marshmallows, and holly leaves. I added a snowflake to the front of the mug. I added the mug to two nested ovals.
For my background, I used the Pinstripe Stencil. I inked the stencil with red ink onto white cardstock. I cut my stenciled background with a rectangle die and layered it on a piece of red cardstock.
I added the oval to the top of the pinstripe background and added the poinsettia from the Winter Foliage die set. I love that the layers of the poinsettia can be stacked to add dimension to it.
I stamped the sentiment “Warm Winter Wishes” from the Holiday Sentiments stamp set and added it to my card. I added Ruby Red Pearls to the card and Pine Green Pearls to the center of the poinsettia. My finished card measures 4 1/4” x 5 1/2”.
Thank you for stopping by today. Have a wonderful day!
Hello, Gemma here with a card featuring the lovely Winter Foliage die set. This set is packed full of different dies to create seasonal cards.
There are lots of possibilities for different combinations, colours and layouts with this set. I chose some different colours of card, including a gold sparkle card. I die cut flowers and foliage using the Winter Foliage die set, then adhered the pieces together.
On a mini slimline card base, I stamped a sentiment from the Happy Santa stamp set. I love the mix of fonts and sizes in this sentiment.
I adhered the Winter Foliage around the card, using liquid glue, then trimmed away anything overhanging the edges to finish.
Thanks for stopping by! I hope this card inspired you to use your die cuts in a new way.
Hello friends! It’s Mindy with you today to share a fun way to color up your die cuts. I’ll be using my Distress Mica Stains but I talk in the video about other ways you can color them up.
Using sprays is a way to quickly add color to your die cuts, add texture and it’s tons of fun! I’m using my seasonal Distress Mica Sprains because they have some gorgeous shine in them that I want on my die cuts.
It’s best to use a watercolor paper when using sprays because it can hold up to water really well. You can either spray directly onto your surface and smoosh your paper into the ink or spray directly onto the paper. Drying the paper and smooshing again will add more texture to the background.
After the paper is completely dry, I can die cut from it using the Winter Foliage dies. I’m also going to die cut the foliage from white cardstock and gold mirror cardstock.
For the center of the flower, I’m going to use Metallic Gold Pearls adhered with liquid glue.
The background for the card was created using the Layering Snowflake stencil blended onto light blue cardstock with a light blue ink. I love how the red pops off of the blue background.
Hi crafty friends! It’s Dana here today with a Christmas card to share with you all.
I started my card by making my card panel with the Layered Snowflakes stencil set. This is a three pack of stencils that layer together to create a full panel of multicolored snowflakes without any making. I used bright pink, aqua and purple dye ink for each layer. Once my panel was finished I added some splatters with white paint and aqua ink.
Next, I stamped my images and sentiment with the Holiday Envelopes and Snowmen Friends sets. I colored the images with Copic markers, coordinating the marker colors to my card panel. Once my coloring was finished I used the Holiday Envelopes and Snowmen Friends die sets to cut the images out.
To finish my card, I attached a vellum rectangle to the center of my panel. Lastly, I then attached the images with foam adhesive to the front of the card.
Thanks for joining me today and I hope you enjoyed my card.
Hello, friends! It’s Lindsey here and if you’ve seen any of my projects from this release, it probably comes as no surprise that today’s card uses the new Winter Foliage Dies. I feel like I’m constantly saying how much I adore them and how I want to use them on everything, and well…I pretty much have. Lol.
For today’s card I’ve paired the Winter Foliage Dies with the new Mitten Shaker Dies, and truly they are a match made in heaven. I’m also using a color combo that is making me smile this season: aqua, teal, eggplant purple, white, and grey.
It may surprise you, but I’ve used two stencils on this card. Instead of inking them up, though, I used them to dry emboss. First, I used the Layered Snowflakes Stencilto emboss the card base. I just wanted a few snowflakes in the background, so I only embossed the largest snowflake layer. Next, and you have to look reeeeallly close to see this in the photos, but I embossed the inside of the mittens with the Mini Grid Stencil. I embossed it on the diagonal and it adds some really fun texture.
To adorn my mittens I created a floral spray using lots of bits and pieces from my beloved Winter Foliage Dies. I have made so many arrangements with these, and I’m convinced you can’t go wrong. All the stems and florals look great together. I have to admit, though, I just love the little pine cone tucked in there.
The sentiment is made up of the “merry” die in the new Merry & Bright Script Diesand “Christmas” that was selectively inked from a sentiment in the Holiday Envelopes stamp set. I just love this rich eggplant color!
Thanks so much for joining me today! This new release is packed full of things that mix and match so perfectly together. You are going to love everything!
For this card, I first assembled the box card in white cardstock. The panels and grass inserts are ink blended with Distress Oxide Inks in Mustard Seed, Peeled Paint, and Tumbled Glass.
Hello crafty friends, Raquel here today! I want to share a colorful project I made using the recently released Layered Apples Stencil.
I must admit, I felt in love with all the layered stencils from this release. They are simply perfect to create colorful designs in no time. I particularly love the process of choosing colors, mixing and matching and lifting the stencil for the final reveal!
I wanted to create a monochromatic background with red and pink apples. I used Moroccan Spice, Fire Coral and Poppin’ Pink ins from MFT.
First, I applied Moroccan Spice on the left-hand side of each apple. I went in a diagonal order to save some time. Then I applied Fire coral and Poppin’ Pink making sure I left a small spot white so I could have some high lights on the apples.
Next up I colored the leaves and the small stem using Jalapeño Popper and Vintage Photo Distress Ink. Once my background was ready I decided to use and A2 size piece of vellum onto the background to create a wreath.
I used the Valentine Circles coordinating die as the center of my wreath. Then I stamped the Happy Thanksgiving sentiment and foam mounted it in the center. I used several dies from the Fall Basket set to create my wreath in different colors and arranged them all around the circle:
I hope this card inspires you to create with these fun, unique and gorgeous products! Thank you so much for stopping by!
First, I worked on my card background by adding Candied Apple Distress Oxide ink to Layer A of theLayered Apples stencil. I used a light hand to add the ink to get a lighter color for my apples. For Layer B of the stencil, I used Twisted Citron Distress Oxide ink. This added the leaves to my apples. Next, I used Layer C of the stencil and added Antique Linen Distress Oxide ink which gave me the apple stems.
I colored a mouse from the Mouse Friends stamp set using Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens in the following colors: Mustard, Sugar Almond Pink, and the Blender.
I used pattern paper for the layering pieces of my card and added the stenciled apple layer on top. I added the basket dies, arranged the apples in the basket, and added some leaves. Finally, I added the mouse with an apple in its hand.
Thank you so much for stopping by today. Have a wonderful day!
Hello crafty friends! It’s Leica here with a Halloween card, featuring the Ghost Friends stamp set. If you’re not into the scary Halloween stuff (like I am), you’re gonna love these adorable friendly ghosts! The best part is there is not a lot of coloring involved. Let’s get started!
I first cut an A2-sized panel in white cardstock and ink blended the border with Wilted Violet Distress Oxide Ink, Milled Lavender in the center, and Black Soot on the bottom. I splattered black and white acrylic paint for interest. I then white heat embossed the sentiment on the top right corner of the card panel.
Next, I stamped, colored, and cut the ghosts from the Ghost Friends stamp set. I then cut the Cauldron Shaker in black cardstock. I cut a few and stack them together to make a well for the shaker element. For the shaker bits, I used a combination of clay confetti – Monster Mash Mix and Halloween Party Mix.
I then cut the Boo Script in teal glitter cardstock and another one in white for a shadow effect. I glued the cauldron shaker, foam mounted the ghosts, and also adhered some clay confettis on the card panel. Lastly, I adhered the panel onto an A2-sized card base.
I hope that you enjoyed today’s card share! Thanks so much for stopping by!
Hi crafty friends. It’s Lisa Mears here. I’m back with a Halloween shaker card featuring the Spider Web die set and some other fun Halloween sets from Pretty Pink Posh.
For the card background, I cut a piece of white cardstock to 4″ x 5 1/4″. I inked the cardstock with Distress Oxide inks. I used Twisted Citron in the center, followed by Mowed Lawn, and then Rustic Wilderness along the outside edges. Next, I mixed some black acrylic paint with water to thin it out and then flicked some of the paint onto the background. I set this aside to dry.
Next, I stamped the ghosts from the Ghost Friends stamp set and colored them with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens. The colors I used are as follows:
Ghosts – Light Gray/Blender (body), Sugar Almond Pink (cheeks) Hat – Deep Violet, Violet, English Lavender Hat Stripe – Orange, Blender Pumpkin – Orange, Blender Broom – Beige, Gray, Blender Lollypop – Sugar Almond Pink, Peach Pink Bow – Violet, English Lavender Bow – Peach Pink, Blender
I die cut the spider web with double-sided adhesive foam. I placed the spider web foam piece in the center of the card layer making sure to add two ghosts slightly behind the spider web foam piece before fully adhering it to the card.
I also die cut the Spider Web Die with black cardstock and glued it to a piece of acetate. I cut the acetate along the outside edges of the black spider web until all of the excess acetate was removed from the spider web. I set this piece aside and then filled the spider web foam piece with the Spooky Night Clay Confetti and the Monster Mash Clay Confetti. Once the spider web was filled with confetti, I glued the black spider web acetate piece to the top of the spider web foam piece to enclose all of the shaker pieces. Be sure to watch my video to see this process in action.
I added die cut the spider from the die that comes with the spider web die and colored it with Violet and English Lavender Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens. I added the spider to the center of the web.
I added the sentiment “boo” from the Boo Script die set and then added this card layer to a piece of black cardstock that measures 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″. I added the final layer to an A2 size card base.
Thank you so much for stopping by today. Have a bootiful day!
