Silver, Gold, and White Poinsettia Christmas Card

Hello!   Today I'm on the blog at Brass & Bliss to share this beautiful poinsettia Christmas card with a stenciled background.

This card features the beautiful Large Stacked Poinsettia Die set with a gold, silver, and white Confetti Stencil background.

I added details to the Poinsettia petals with gold pigment ink.  First by swiping the crease of each petal over the ink pad and then by blending the ink in the centers of each layer.

The sentiment is from the Christmas Berry Delight stamp set and is heat embossed in gold to coordinate with the rest of the card.

The poinsettia is backed by a pretty gold and silver stenciled background I made with the Confetti Stencil.

Check out all of the detailed instructions over on the Brass & Bliss Blog!  Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a fabulous, and crafty week!

Your Smile Brightens My Day!

 Today I'm over on the Brass & Bliss Craft Co. blog to share all of the details of my card using the beautiful new Flowers and Vases Set.  (Edit:  B&B had a computer crash, so my post there will be up asap!)

If you would like the detailed step-by-step directions to make this card, please join me over on their Blog!

There are three other lovely vases with flowers to choose in the Flowers and Vases set.  I used my Copic markers to color the image.

If you know me, you will know that I love using stencils with texture paste!  The Repeating Bricks stencil set makes a beautiful frame around the image.  There is a stencil with the brick texture (inked first with gray ink) and an open brick stencil.  I was surprised at how well the inked texture shows after I added the texture paste!  The Rectangle Mask was used to mask off first the image, and after all was dry, the frame.

After stamping one of the three sentiments from the Flowers and Vases set, I trimmed it into a strip and adhered it with foam strips.

I really love how this card turned out!!  Adding the textured brick frame really steps up the interest of this card.  Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Christmas in July! with new Polar Bear Friends

Hello friends!  Today's card features a new stamp set by Rubbernecker Stamps called Polar Bear Friends!  It's so cute and there are three other adorable polar bear faces that I didn't use!

First I die cut some glitter cardstock with the largest Nested Scallops Rectangle die.  Then I mixed a drop of Sky re-inker with Snowfall Grit Paste (you can also use texture paste).  I spread that through the Snowflake Stencil onto the panel.  I set it aside to dry and washed the stencil and my tools.

I stamped the wreath and bear from the Polar Bear Friends set in Copic safe black ink.  After I colored it with my markers, I cut the bear out with the coordinating die and fussy cut the wreath.

Next I die cut 80# Neenah with the second and third largest Nested Circle Scallop dies.  I inked up the edges of the largest one with Sky ink.  I added a blue shadow in the center of the smaller circle with the same ink.

I adhered the two scallop circles together and then to the card with glue.  I popped up the wreath and bear with foam tape.  The sentiment from the Polar Bear Friends set is stamped in black ink, die cut with a Scallop Circle, and also popped up.

If you're a fan of bear stamps like I am, this Polar Bear Friends set is a great one for  your stash!  Thanks so much for stopping by!
