Sweet Baby Card with Doodles Paper Playground

Hello  Crafty Friends - I am here with a cute baby card. It's seem like families everywhere are welcoming new additions. 

For this card I used the Limited Edition Oh Baby Sparkle Blend

 a pink, blue and yellow base, and added yellow duckies,

 white and yellow baby bottles, blue safety pins,

 BABY confetti in a variety of pastel colors,

multi-hued iridescent rattles, and teenie iridescent hearts.

I love that the  Limited Edition Oh Baby Sparkle Blend has the word BABY in the mix. It's perfect to add to the sentiment. I replaced the stamped word with the sparkle word. I added a few more sequins to the corners along with eht teenie iridescent heart in purple. I also added some hearts pink and yellow to the sentiment. You can view a close up of the sentiment below.

Merry Christmas Window Card with Dies R Us

Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with a fun Christmas card using only die cuts and a few embellishments.

So, Let's get started!

Step 1: Gather your supplies. Start die cutting your images. You will need 4 trees: 2 Kraft & 2 Green, 2 Red curtains, 4 Gold tassels, 2 gold curtain draw back sashes, 1 Gift base, 1 bow, 2 string lights & 1 Snow pile. Sentiment: Merry:2 Cream & 1 Gold, Christmas: 2 Cream & 1 Gold 

 

Step 2:  Inking: This part if optional - but it gives your die cuts more dimension. I inked the edges of the trees, gift, bow, curtain and snow. First start with the trees. ink the kraft tree trucks only with gather twigs. Next, ink the edge of the green trees. Then, cut off the trucks only of the green trees. Adhere to the kraft trees. I added a bit of texture snow - again, optional. If you add snow set aside to dry.

  

 

Step 3: Next, ink the curtain in Aged Mahogany - just the edges and were the curtains gather. Then, adhere the tassel and draw back sashes to the curtains. Repeat the process with the bow for the gift. I added a bit of Forest Moss to the gift. Adhere the bow to the gift. Next, ink the window with gathered twigs. I also added a bit of Broken China to the snow. Set aside.

Step 4: I used my alcohol markers to color the string of lights, Then, I added Wink of Stella in clear glitter for shimmer. Once dry, I added a bit of Metallic Silver Gel Pen to the tops of the lights and a White Gel Pen highlight to the lights.

 

Step 5: Assembly: Adhere your 3 Merry together creating a stack. Repeat the process with Christmas. Once all my die cuts are dry and ready to assemble the card.

 Adhere the curtains to the window from behind. Making sure not to add to much glue. 

 

Then, adhere the gift to window adding adhesive only to the edges that touch the curtain and the bottom of the window.

 

Next, adhere the snow pile to the front - bottom of the window.

 

Now, It's time for the lights,  add a bit of adhesive to the string and each of the bulbs. I use tweezers for this, because they are so tiny. Create a swag of the lights.

 

Now, Flip over the window and add adhesive to the back. I used thin foam adhesive for a slight dimension. Set aside. Next, I layered the Cream card stock onto the pattern paper. Then, center the window and place onto the card front.

  

Next, place some foam adhesive onto the trees. Then, place them next to the window one on each side. Now, adhere the sentiment to the top of the card front.

Step 6: Finishing touches: I added a few sequins and jewel to the card. This optional if you don't like to add these you don't have to. I added one gold tiny sequin to the center of the window, then in the center of the gold sequin I added a tiny green jewel. I also added a trio of sequins in Gold, Red and Green by each tree and near the sentiment.

Now your card if finished and ready to mail or hand to that special someone on your list.

Season's Greeting with Dies R Us

Hello Crafty Friends - I am here today with a fun holiday card. 

The season is here for us to start creating and send out cards to our friends and family.

For this card I created a simple scene of traveling for the holiday season. Using mostly Lawn Fawn products. This a simple die cutting and layers type card. ** Unfortunately I lost my step by step photos I hope my description of how I made this card is helpful.

I started by stamping the images from Lawn Fawn Home for the Holidays stamp set. I stamped the car twice. I trimmed off the top have of the car to create a utility trailer. I colored the images with my Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers. I trimmed 3 thin strips of gray card stock to create the gate for the trailer. 

Next, I die cut 2 snow from white glitter card stock and 1 hill from black card stock using Lawn Fawn Hillside Border Die. I also die cut 1 Forest Border and 2 Simple Puffy Clouds. I set all my die cuts and colored images a side. Then, On light blue card stock using a bubble stencil and white dye ink I created a snowy sky.

I then assembled my card by layering  and adhering the tree border onto the blue card stock, next the snow hill, road and snow hill. Once I had all the background adhered in place. I then adhered the present onto the trailer. The tree onto the car and also attached the car and trailer together. Using foam adhesive placed the car and trailer onto the card front. Next, I adhered the 2 clouds to the card front layering them and using a bit of thin foam adhesive on the small cloud to give some dimension. For finishing I stamped the sentiment which I layered onto dark blue card stock and I added a few sequins.
