Gorgeous Friendship Card with Guest Designer Jennifer Rustioni!

Hello there everyone! I’m super excited today as we have the talented Guest Designer Jennifer Rustioni to share her stunning inspiration!

How mesmerizing is this card! A gorgeous and tranquille scene of an adorable girl skating in the outdoor!

She used Copic Markers for most of the coloring on this card. This adorable girl and the trees in the background are from The Most Wonderful Time stamp set. She also added Distress Inks as well on this dreamy background!

I love the reflected image that she’s created on here, simply breathtaking! The cool sentiment and the flurry snowflakes add the perfect finishes to this card!

Thank you so much Jennifer for Guest Designing for us! Your cards are just amazing!!

Most Wonderful Time Stamps & Coordinating Dies, Outdoor Ice Rink Scene Builder Dies + Stencil Set

This sure is a lovely addition to your wintry collection!  Send warm wishes to your coolest friends with the adorable characters from this stamp set!  Pair this set with our new Outdoor Ice Rink Scene Builder Dies + Stencil set to create the most unique and exciting wintry scenes! 

First we have Candice’s amazing creation!

I just love the starry night sky background, it looks so magical! I also love how she kept a cohesive color tone, from the background, to the cute characters and to her choice of glittery gems!

For my card below, I used all of the dies from Outdoor Ice Rink Scene Builder Dies + Stencil Set to die cut the building skyline (+shadow), the shrubs and the ice rink & lamp posts on various colored cardstocks.

I then used the coordinating stencil to add colors to the individual elements like the lamps, shrubs branches, and ice rink board. Fort the extra touch of details, this stencil even has a cut out just for inking the bottom trim to the ice rink board!

Poinsettia Stencils 360°

Create a multi-color wreath with this poinsettia circular stencil.  Great for a festive yet effortless background.  Pair it with a charming sentiment from Magical Christmas Sentiments to complete your project!

Check out this goregous creation by Candice!

Candice chose a traditional color palette for her card. I love the red and green combination which gives a very festive vibe!

The completed wreath measures approximately 5″ x 5″.

On the other hand, I did a card using a non-traditional christmas color palette. I used light yellow for my poinsettia with a touch of orange near the centers.

I gold heat embossed a sentiment from Magical Christmas Sentiment and added a back panel in shiny gold cardstock to match, leaving an 1/8″ narrow border. My finished card measures 5 1/2″ x 5 1/2″.

I hope you enjoyed today’s showcases and inspirations. Leave a comment below before you go and let me know what you think! And be sure to come back tomorrow for more Product Previews and Giveaways!
