Greetings From Santa

Smile! Santa’s coming to town! This 4” x 4” clear stamp set is THE perfect option for everyone on your holiday card list! Let this adorable couple bring your loved ones the warmest holiday wishes!

I ink blended this background using Distress Oxides in Black Soot, Pine Needles and Cracked Pistachio for an aurora palette.

I splattered some white ink for the added visual interest. I used the Fairyland Alphabet Dies on Santa Heavyweight Premium Cardstock to spell out my sentiment Merry X’Mas. My image was Copic colored and adhered to my panel with foam tape. To finished off I added some white gems to compliment the flurry backdrop.

For the second card I went for a totally different vibe. For the background I used some iridescent glitter gel on the Crystal Snowflakes Stencil.

I wanted to create a peaceful monotone so I colored my image in greyscale. I then white heat embossed sentiments on Grand Piano using sentiments from Magical Christmas Sentiments and adhere three of them onto the panel in a playful configuration.

A Better Place (Save the Earth) and Woodland Scene Builder Layered Dies

You can make a difference! Spread the importance of planting a tree by giving a handmade card! This whimsical stamp set is the perfect way to spread this very important message of saving the environment and loving our planet earth! This set coordinates with the Woodland Scene Builder layered die set. This specially designed layered dies also makes THE perfect background for all your adorable woodland creature stamps!

To set the scene I used the 3 dies on different colored cardstocks namely the Grand Piano, Hot Fudge, Apple Green and Christmas Tree. They layered together flawlessly to give wonderful dimension for the card.

For more details, I blended some Distress Oxides and added paint splatters on some of the pieces.

I then Copic colored the image and adhered it on the top. I also stamped out a heart warming sentiment “You Make the World a Better Place” on the inside to complete my card.

I hope you enjoyed today’s showcases and inspirations. Leave a comment below before you go and let me know which is your favorite card! Be sure to come back tomorrow for more Product Previews and Giveaways!

Slimline Picnic Scene with Anja!

Hi guys! Wish you all had a very Happy Canada Day yesterday. Today we have Anja sharing another slimline card with us!

This slimline is telling a story and I love it! Anja combined images from The Sweetest Truck, Never Give Up, My BFF, Summer Sunshine and the Bee Happy stamp sets!

She die cut 3 stitched slimline panels to create the sky and the grassy hills scene. I love the Distress Oxide ink blending on the background. She used Tumbled Glass for the sky, and Mowed Lawn and Shabby Shutters for the grassy hills.

I love the smiley trees which are built using the images from My BFF stamp set, the bunnies, flowers, butterflies and the kitty in the trolley are also from the same set.

The other characters are a mixture of images from Summer Sunshine, Sweetest Truck and the Bee Happy stamp sets. All of the images were colored using Copics and aren’t they lovely!!

I love that she added some cute refreshments on the table (those adorable sushis are from Never Give Up stamp set) to make the scene even more interesting! Looks like this bunch is having a great party!

She assembled her card using both liquid glue and foam tape to create a bit of dimension to the card.

Thank you Anja! This scene is so full of fun!

Anja’s Rainbow Friendship Card!

Hi guys! Anja is back today with her new card to share! Her card features the new background die Classic Diamonds Backdrop and My BFF stamps and its coordinating Penguin Perfect Cuts.

With this new backdrop die, she cut out an A2 size panel. She then ink blended a white card base using Mustard Seed, Picked Raspberry and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Inks. This made a beautiful rainbow hue for the background!

She added some cute images from the My BFF stamp set across the middle portion. I love how she left the bottom part of the card base totally white for a bold contrast. Her sentiment “Thank You For Being A Great Friend” was stamped on the green patterned paper.

Thank you so much Anja! I love this neat and simple card!
