Woodblock Wednesday Thank You Card

 Hello everyone.  I made a card for the Woodblock Wednesday Challenge hosted my my friend Amy Tsuruta.  I chose to make a Thank You card.  I'm going to choose to send more Thank You cards as one of my New Year Resolutions.

These are the two Hero Arts Woodblock Stamps I used for my card today.  I recently got the Architectural Wonders of the World Stamp on clearance at Joanns.  The Thank you stamp I may have had it for quite awhile as I can't remember where I got it.

I made a easy Thank you card.  I first cut out some white cardstock using a  A2 stitched rectangle die using Lawn Fawn.  I then ink blended my cardstock with Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide ink and Broken China Distress Oxide ink. I asked my 12yr old daughter what other colors should I use? She said pink.  So I used Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink. I like these bright happy colors together.

Next, I stamped the big Woodblock stamp on white cardstock with black ink and cut it out with a circle die.  I then stamped the woodblock sentiment on white cardstock and fussy cut it out.  I glued my ink blended panel and stamped circle to a A2 card base.  I added a foam strip to the back of my sentiment before adding it to my card.  I used white liquid drops and that finishes my card. I had a lot of fun making it.  It was fun not coloring for this card.  I hope you grab your woodblock stamps and join Amy's challenge.

Birthday Deer Snow Globe Card

 Hello everyone.  Have you recovered from Christmas?  I hope you had a wonderful Holiday. I actually had a relaxing Holiday and I did a little bit of crafting.  I had gotten Lawn Fawn's Build A Snow Globe die and Birthday Deer stamp for my Birthday and I was so excited to use them for a Birthday card today.

I think it's cute.  I first stamped the Birthday Deer and cupcake onto Neenah solar White 80lb. cardstock with Honey Bee Stamps Black ink.  I colored them in with my copic markers and then cut them out with the coordinating dies.  I then cut out my globe pieces out with white cardstock and my Spellbinders Platinum 6.  I cut out a snow drift, a tree, and bird.  I used my copics to color the tree and bird.  My globe was cut out 3 times.  I also cut out some acetate.  I ink blended my sky for my globe and globe base with Milled Lavender Distress Oxide ink.

Next, I glued my globe together with my acetate.  I chose to glue my snow drift and tree inside of my globe with glitter.  I used liquid glue.  On the outside of my globe, I glued my Birthday Deer, cupcake, and bird.  I stamped a sentiment from the Birthday Deer stamp set.  I used the Simple Stripes Landscape Backdrop die for my background.  I ink blended a couple of strips with Milled lavender Distress Oxide ink.  I glued my globe and backdrop to a A2 Neenah sSolar White 110lb. card base.  I used some stars to add as embellishments.  I also used a glitter pen on my cupcake and bird.  I hope you like my Birthday Deer Card.

Christmas card using Kat Scrappiness.

 Hello everyone. Christmas is almost here!!! I was able to fit in a last minute Christmas card yay using Kat Scrappiness.  I was so excited as this card was on my To-Do list.

Isn't it cute?  I love the Grinch.  I started off with stamping  and heat embossing this grinch image from Merry Grinchmas Stamp set onto Neenah Solar White cardstock.  I used clear embossing powder, Versafine ink, Embossing brush tool, and my heat tool.  I then colored with my copic markers.  I used the coordinating Merry Grinchmas die to cut my image out.  I used a white gel pen to add some details to my image.

 Next, I cut out some pattern and glitter paper from Crafty Quokkas paper pack and the Christmas Glitter paper pack.  I used a A2 embossed edge rectangle die as well as a stitched fancy scalloped circle die.  I cut out another grinch image die-cut to layer for more depth. I glued everything to a green A2 card base using Bearly Art Glue.  I stamped and heat embossed my sentiment on black cardstock with white embossing powder and versamark ink.  I used the die to cut out my sentiment.  The dies are so great and I love that they cut out the sentiments.  I used the die to cut a layer to layer my sentiment onto.  Lastly, I embellished with this fun Merry Grinchmas Sprinkle Mix.  I hope you like my card, it was so much fun to make.  This Merry Grinchmas set is great to get you started on your Christmas Cards for next year. There is matching paper and a die set, so fun.  I plan to make some more Grinch cards.   

I hope you have a fun Holiday and Crafty New Year.

Thank you for taking a look!

Snowman Hot Cocoa

 Hello everyone.  I cannot believe Christmas is around the corner.  I was hoping to get some more Christmas Crafting in before Christmas.  We will see... Anywhoo I have fun Holiday card that I made for the current Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge Coffee + Snowman #24.

I had so much fun making this card.  I had this cute Snowman Mug SVG file for awhile and I'm so glad I could use it for this Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge.  I first cut all my pieces from my Silhouette Design Library using my Silhouette Cameo 3 machine.  I used mostly, white, red, black, kraft, orange, and pink cardstock.  I did ink blend the kraft cardstock for the hands, coffee, and gingerbread with Ground Espresso Distress ink.  

I glued my snowman Hot Cocoa together using liquid glue.  I used my white and black gel pens for accents and details. I also used a red copic marker for some shading. I used pattern paper from my stash I believe this one came from Joanns.  I love that it was double sided and that I liked both patterns for this card.  I cut my pieces using my paper trimmer.

I added some coarse white glitter to my marshmallows and candy cane and glued everything to a pink A2 card base.  I stamped and heat embossed my sentiment from Jaded Blossom White Christmas Stamp and then cut it to fit my card.  I didn't feel like I needed embellishments for this card.  I hope you like it.  

Thank you for taking a look!

Merry Christmas Poinsettia Card

 Hello everyone.  I have a Holiday card to share using Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps.  I had so much making this card and I plan to give  it to our friend April who is bringing us some Homemade Cookies. She always makes so many different kinds.  My favorite is the Magic Coconut Bars...Yum.

I went for a pinkish Holiday Card.  I love how it came out.  I used pink heavy weight cardstock 110lb. panel 4 x 5 1/4.  I placed my cardstock in my misti stamping platform and used the Poinsettia Wishes Stamp set.  I used Lawn Fawn Plastic Flamingo dye ink for the flowers and I inked up the leaves with Catherine Pooler Deck The Halls Dye ink.  I used Versafiene Nocturne ink for the centers and I scattered some of the centers on my card.  I also stamped the sentiment on my panel too.  I have used this sentiment a lot for my Holiday Cards. I love the font so much.

Next, I glued my panel to a green heavy weight A2 Card Base.  I added some sequins and that finishes this card.  I had a lot of fun making it and it was really easy too.  I hope you like it.

Christmas Card

 Hi everyone.  I have a card today using A Colorful Life Designs Folk Christmas Stencil.  Use VonFan10 to save 10% off your purchase.

On my card, I used a white A2 Neenah Solar White card base for this card.  Usually I use a A2 panel or cardstock to cut out with a rectangle die but I decided to ink blend on a card base for a change.  I taped my edges so that I would not get ink anywhere that wasn't suppose to.  I then used the Folk Christmas Stencil with Catherine Pooler Spa Collection Juniper Mist, Something Borrowed, Green Tea. Sauna, and Peppermint Scrub inks.  I used Memento Rich Cocoa ink for the deer.

Next, I glued a Sticker sentiment from Tim Holtz Christmas Ideology Sticker Book. I glued some sequins and that finishes this card.  I love how this card came out. It was definitely easy as I didn't have to glue a panel onto it.  I love the colors too and I hope you do also.  

Thank you for taking a look!

A Birthday Turtle Card and a Santa Card for Day 6

 Hello everyone.  I have been having so much fun with my Advent Calendars from Unity Stamp Co. and Spellbinders.  Last Year I only git a chance to do Unity Stamp Co. because I found out about Spellbinders too late and so I made sure to order really early this year.

So for Day 6 I created 2 cards using the Rubber Sentiment from Unity Stamp Co. and the Birthday Turtle with Balloons from Spellbinders.

On my Day 6 using Spellbinders,  I die cut all the dies with greens, red, pink, black, and white card stock.  I love all the these cute pieces you get.  I didn't own a Birthday Turtle or a turtle at all so I was very excited for this one. The Advent Calendar is such a great investment if you ask me. After I put my turtle together.  I cut it out again and layered it so that it was a nice and sturdy die cut.  I then ink blended it a little with Lawn Fawn Clover green ink.  I think the party hat is so cute.  

I found some Birthday pattern paper in my stash and cut it to be A2 size.  I glued everything to a A2 pink car base.  I added a bow from Day 1 and word sentiments from Day 2.  I think its cute.  What do you think?

Here is my second card using Day 6 Unity Stamp Co.  I first on a white card stock strip I stamped the Tree and Santa from Unity Stamps Advent Calendar 2022 with Memento Black ink.  I stamped the New Day 6 Sentiment on another piece of cardstock with red ink and then cut it down.  I colored the tTee, Santa, and background with my Copic Markers.  I then glued my sentiment next to the Santa.  I added some white gel accents to my colored images and background.  

Next, I used the Merry Christmas Stencil from A Colorful Life Designs. (Use VonFan10) to save 10% off your purchases.  I inked it up with Lawn Fawn Clover green ink and cut my background 4 x 5 1/4.  I glued everything to a white A2 card base.  I added some red liquid drops and that finishes my card.  I hope you like both cards using the Advent Calendars.  Like I said I'm having so much fun!

Folk Christmas Holiday Card

 Hello everyone!  I have a Holiday card using 2 Stencils called Folk Christmas Stencil and Pulled In Stencil from A Colorful Life Designs.  Use my code VonFan10 to save 10% off your purchase.

Here is the first card I made.  I used Bristol cardstock and ink blended it with Cracked pistachio Distress Oxide ink.  I placed the Pulled In Stencil and ink blended it with Catherine Pooler Lime Rickey ink. I love the subtle design it gives to my background.  I then used the Folk Christmas Stencil and inked it up with Lawn fawn Crunchy Leaf ink.  Next, I then splattered my card with Gold paint and water with a paint brush using Gansai Tambi Starry Colors Paints.

I cut out my background with a A2 stitched Rectangle die.  I glued my panel to a A2 card base and glued a Pinkfresh Studio gold foiled sentiment from my stash.  Lastly, I added some gold sequins.  I hope you like my card.  It was fun to make and I actually think it looks prettier in person.  I will have another card to share using Folk Christmas stencil coming soon.
