The Magic of The Season

Happy Tuesday, crafty friends!  Today my sparkly card is featuring some beautiful paper from Rubbernecker Stamps new Festive Farmhouse paper pad!  I've coordinated it with some glittery stenciling and a sparkly poinsettia!  Read on for the details.

First I created my card base.  These are the steps:

• I used the Snowflake stencil and spread some chunky gold glitter clear glaze through it onto 110# white cardstock.  Set it aside to dry.
• Die cut patterned paper from the Festive Farmhouse paper pad with the largest Nested Rectangle Small Stitch die.
• Partially die cut the dry stenciled panel with the same Rectangle Stitch die.  Adhere on top of the patterned paper die cut.
• Adhere the layer to an A2 card base.
• Cut some dark green paper from the Festive Farmhouse paper pad into a narrow strip and adhere to the card.

• I die cut the Poinsettia #2 from 80# white cardstock.
• Then I used some flower shaping tools to shape all of the petals.
• Before adhering all of the flower layers together, I used my finger to add some of the chunky glitter glaze to the petals' edges.
• After it dried, I used liquid glue to adhere the layers together and to add it to the card.
• The sentiment is from the Christmas Cheer Set and heat embossed with gold embossing powder.
• I added foam tape to the sentiment to pop it up on the card.

I totally love all of dimension, sparkle and shine with this gorgeous paper!  Thank you so much for stopping by today!

My Best Adventures Are With You | Honey Bee Stamps

 Hello friends!!  For my card today I'm using Honey Bee Stamps' adorable Enjoy The Ride stamp set and coordinating dies.  Before I begin talking about how I made this sweet card, let me tell you a little story!

You see the bunny holding onto her love bunny on their scooter here.  Well, let me tell you that there's a true story about a trip my husband and I were on that this image brings back a, now funny, memory!  To keep it short, we were on a beautiful island in the Caribbean and "needed" to rent a scooter to get to the top.  (We were supposed to hike up, but the hubs had a slight injury and decided he couldn't do it!)  I was very skeptical about this, but I climbed on behind him and held on for dear life!!!!  LOL!!  I totally had my eyes closed for much of the scootering up that mini mountain!!  For the trip back down, I was less nervous and could enjoy that beautiful view!  Haha!

Now, onto my card!  To begin I used the Whimsical Hearts Stencil and a Background Blender Brush to ink up white card stock with the new Kitsch Flamingo Distress Ink.  I love the clear brightness of this color!  I removed the stencil and inked up the edges with the pink ink.  Then I placed my stencil back onto the card and spread some White Glitz Glitter Gel through it.  I cleaned up my stencil and set the piece aside to dry.

I stamped the bunny pair from the Enjoy The Ride stamp set with Copic safe ink onto 80# Neenah Solar White card stock.  I colored the image with the Copic markers I've listed below.  Next I stamped the sentiment in black ink and die cut it and the image with their coordinating dies.  I also stamped a few hearts with Kitsch Pink and die cut those as well.

I die cut some vellum with the middle sized Double Stitched Oval die.  I adhered the sentiment, hearts and image to the oval with Bee Creative glue.  When the glue was dry, I added foam tape to the back of the oval, but only adding it behind the image and sentiment.  This way the adhesive won't show through the vellum.

For even more sparkle, I added clear Wink of Stella to the wheels, light and hearts and topped those off with some Glossy Accents.

I hope you enjoyed my little story and maybe got a chuckle from the visual I described!  Haha!  Thank you so much for stopping by today!  Stay crafty, and warm!

Birthday Bus Cubbies Card | Art Impressions

Happy Monday my friends!  Have you seen the new Art Impressions Cubbies sets?  My card today uses the adorable Bus Cubbies.  I just think these little animals are so cute!

This is a view with the bus doors closed.

This card was created in the usual "cubbies" way--stamp the images, color, and die cut with the included dies.  I've listed my Copic markers I used below.  I positioned the critters with liquid glue and then added foam tape to the back of the bus.

For the background, I hand cut a mask for the hill, added it to the sky portion and inked on some Picked Raspberry and Spun Sugar Distress Oxide.  I used the other piece of the mask to cover up the hill, and inked some clouds with a cloud stencil and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide.  I sprinkled some water drops over the panel and blotted them with a paper towel.  Then I added drops of some white ink spray and let it dry.  Next I die cut it with a Rectangle Double Stitched die and attached it to a pink layer.  This was attached to a top-folding 5-½" x 4-¼" card base.

Then I attached the bus to the panel.  I popped up the balloons with foam tape and used a black pen to draw in the strings.

I stamped the cute sentiment in black ink, cut it into a flag shape and popped it up with foam tape.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!  Have a fabulous, crafty week!
