Grateful Hearts | Art Impressions

Happy Monday my friends!  I'm over on the Art Impressions blog today with this card that features the so sweet Grateful Hearts stamp set.

I stamped the images in Copic safe ink and colored them with the markers listed below.  I fussy cut them and set them aside to build the scene.  For this card, I thought I'd change up the typical autumn color scheme and leave out any orange pumpkins.  I love the white pumpkins that I see in stores, so those were the inspiration for the ones on my card.  Here are the steps for the rest of the card:

• I used a cloud stencil to ink Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink with a blending brush for the clouds.
• I inked a scrap piece of paper with Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxides.  Then I die cut that with a grass border die.
• I used a heart die to cut the opening in the center of a 5" square piece of blue card stock.  I added stitching lines with a white gel pen and then I put foam tape on the back.
• I positioned the stenciled clouds and grass die cut onto a 5-½" square top-folding card base.  I made sure these were positioned correctly before glueing them down.
• I then adhered the blue piece on top.

Next I added some thin foam tape to the back of the mice.  I positioned the pumpkins and adhered with glue.  I stamped the sentiment onto a banner die and added it to my card. To finish it off, I added a few clear hearts here and there.

Thank you so much for stopping by!  I hope you have a fun and crafty week!

Christmas Blessings | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello my friends!  I'm over on the Honey Bee Stamps blog today with this oh, so sparkly Christmas card!  These products are part of the huge, and so amazing, Season to Sparkle release.  Click HERE to see it all--there's something for everyone!

It was quite the challenge for me to photograph this card to capture the beautiful, sparkly glitter!  I started this card by adhering a sheet of Scor-Tape double-sided adhesive to a 4" x 5-¼" warm gray card panel.  I removed the backing and added some WOW! Glass Slipper glitter and then burnished it in.  I wanted a warm gray background to better set off the snowflakes.

I then die cut a bunch of snowflakes from the Layering Snowflakes Honey Cuts two times each.  FYI, there are 16 snowflake dies in this set!!  I adhered the layers together and began arranging them on the glittered panel.  I started arranging them from the center out, letting some hang over the edge.  Once I was happy I glued them all down with Distress Collage Medium Matte.  When it was dry, I cut off the parts hanging over the edge.  I used a few of those extra pieces to fill in along the edge.

Next, I stamped the greeting from Christmas Blessings in Versafine Onyx Black ink and die cut it with the coordinating Honey Cut.  I die cut the rectangle frame, also in the Christmas Blessings Honey Cuts, twice from white cardstock.  I adhered the two scalloped edge pieces together.  I covered some warm gray cardstock in double-sided adhesive and cut it out with the rectangle frame.  I just used the center portion and added glitter after removing the backing.  I popped up the pieces with foam tape and adhered the sentiment.

I love the dimension and the sparkle of this card!!   And....just to add a bit more sparkle cause there's not quite enough, I added a Prism Gem Sticker to the center of the snowflakes!

There are so many ways to use these beautiful snowflake dies, and I hope I've given you some inspiration to give this set a try! Thank you so much for stopping by!  Have a wonderful, crafty day!

Nativity Circlet MTF & Week 2 of Tag or Ornament Challenge | Art Impressions

Hello friends!  My card today features the new Nativity Circlet MTF.  It's Week 2 of the Tag or Ornament Challenge over at Art Impressions, so I've made an ornament for inspiration!

I stamped all three images in Copic safe ink and colored them with the Copics listed below.  Here are a photo of each image colored for you to see what each layer looks like in case you'd like to make the trifold card this set is designed for.

I used the coordinating dies included in the set to cut out the openings.  (I used my craft knife to cut out the openings in the fence of the top layer.)  I then used circle dies and a tag shaped die to cut them out.  I also stamped the base layer that has the sentiment again and used two circle dies to cut just the sentiment out.  I adhered the sentiment onto the top layer so it will show when I have the ornament assembled.  

If you don't have THIS foam tape in your stash, you NEED it!  Haha!  It really makes popping up smaller images so easy!  I removed the backer to easily shape it around the circle, as you can see here:

As you can see here, I used the scallop tag die to cut a white glitter tag.  I didn't like the all white tag so I die cut the base layer with a circle die so the sparkly tag will show.  I cut the hole reinforcer included in the die set (see the listed supplies) from some silver mirror paper and used ribbons from my stash.

I wish the photos could show the pretty dimension better!

I always so appreciate you stopping by!  I hope to see your tag or ornament entered into the challenge!  Stay crafty!! :)

Honey Bee Stamps Season To Sparkle Blog Hop Day 2

Hello friends and welcome to Day 2 of the Honey Bee Stamps Season to Sparkle blog hop!

This release is totally awesome and has something for everyone!  Have you shopped yet?  You can find all the things on your list in the Honey Bee Stamps shop!

Be sure to comment on each stop today for your chance to win a $30 gift card!  If you missed yesterday's line up, click HERE to get started.  I have the entire list of today's stops at the end of this post in case you get lost.

My card for this hop features the beautiful Winter Prism Cover Plate dies.  (These are available individually or as a set.)  I used all three layers here and cut the base layer from some red glitter card stock.  The middle and top layers are from Neenhah Solar White 80# paper.  I adhered all three layers together and attached that to a top-folding A2 card base.  

For the sentiment I used the Christmas Blessing stamps and Honey Cuts.  I love that the dies coordinate with the sentiments to cut them out as one piece!  I die cut the circle frame twice, once from vellum and another from the red glitter paper.  I popped up the Merry Christmas sentiment with foam tape and attached it to the vellum circle.  I adhered it and the scalloped frame directly to the base.  The rest of the sentiment was stamped and then die cut with the included fishtail banner die.  It's also popped up with foam tape.

I added a few coordinating gems from the Holiday Traditions Gem Sticker pack.  Such a quick and easy card to make!!!

Christmas Holiday Mansion | Art Impressions

Hello friends!  I'm over on Art Impressions' blog today with the Holiday Mansion all dressed up for Christmas!For my card today, I've dressed up the Holiday Mansion with glitter and shine for Christmas.  The HM Accessory Set is just what you need to make this holiday card!

I stamped all the images in Copic safe ink and colored them with the colors listed below.  I die cut them all using the included coordinating dies.  There's no die for the house, but it's so easy to fussy cut.   For the hill shape, I used a hill border die and added some pretty and sparkly coarse glitter with liquid adhesive.  I cut a piece paper that has just a bit of a pattern to show through the windows and doors.  This is from the same Lawn Fawn Snow Day Remix 6x6 paper pad as the background layer of the card.

I decided where to place the cute little images and adhered them to the house.  Then I added some foam tape to the back of the house and stuck the patterned paper piece to it.  Next I glued the hill on, then the house and the extra Christmas tree.

I stamped the sentiment in black ink and die cut it with a die from the Tag Stitched Die set.  I popped it up with foam tape and added the wreath.  For the finishing touches I added Nuvo Crystal Drops and clear glaze to various elements to up the shimmer and shine factor!

Have you started your holiday cards?  I hope this sweet card has give you some inspiration today!  Thank you for stopping by and have a fun, crafty week!

Three Sheets to the Wind | Art Impressions

Happy Monday!  I'm over on the blog at Art Impressions today with my card featuring the SO fun Fright Night Set.  These ghosts with their wine glasses just crack me up! LOL!  They are having so much fun they don't even notice the black spider dangling down towards them!



To begin, I stamped the ghosts and the pumpkin onto masking paper and fussy cut them out.  I then stamped them onto Neenah 80# paper with Copic safe ink.  I stamped the pumpkin first, applied the mask, and then stamped the ghosts.  I put the mask onto the ghosts and added Distress Oxide inks with background blender brushes.  All of the colors are listed in the supplies below.  Before I removed the masks, I added splatters of some white ink spray for that starry look.  It's hard to see in the photos, but I also sprayed on some iridescent Glitter Dust for some subtle sparkle.  I also used a white gel pen to add a few more stars.  I colored the stamped images with my Copics (colors listed below) and finished it off with some clear sparkle on the ghosts. I die cut the panel out with a Rectangle Double Stitched die.

The spider is actually part of another stamp in this set.  I just cut it off as it will be easy to piece back in place to use with that stamp.  After I stamped it a few times in black ink, I used my Micron black pen to extend the line up to the sentiment.  I stamped the sentiment and trimmed it into a banner shape with a layer of patterned paper from my stash.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Hope Anchors The Soul | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello Honey Bee friends! I'm over on the Honey Bee Stamps blog today and I have three cards today featuring the beautiful Anchors The Soul stamp set.  This set is oh, so special--here is the story behind this set:

This is a very special stamp set, created with the Hurricane Dorian relief efforts in mind. 50% of all sales from this stamp set will go to these wonderful charities specifically for Hurricane Dorian relief efforts. Half of the donation will go to Nazarene Compassionate Ministries. The other half will go to the Global Empowerment Mission. If you would like to read more about these wonderful organizations, please visit their websites:

I've made these cards in pink for a special reason.  I have a beautiful, awesome friend who is nearing her 11th year as a breast cancer survivor.  In 2009, she and I walked in our first 3-day, 60-mile walk for a cause to find a cure and end breast cancer.  I haven't walked since then (my poor feet can't) but she has walked every year since.  For the last few years she has walked in more than one in different cities.  This year, she is walking ALL seven walks!!

The cool thing is that for each city hosting a walk, you can send a participant an encouragement card that will be received at that camp!  So I've made three cards to send to her final three camps.

Each of these cards were created in a similar manner. I used the cloud stencil from the Outdoor Scene Builder Stencil set and added Tattered Rose and Abandoned Coral Distress Oxide inks with a Background Blender Brush. I used Strathmore Bristol Smooth paper because I like how smoothly the ink blends on it. Each panel was then die cut with the largest A2 Double Stitched Frame die.

For the card bases, I used the largest Scallop A2 Card Frames die and cut three pieces from Neenah Solar White 80# paper. I then placed the die on a top folded card base with the top edge just slightly beyond the folded edge and ran it through my die cutting machine. This give you a pretty scalloped-edge card base. I adhered one of the single Scallop A2 Card Frame die cuts to the folded card base.

I finished this first card by stamping the sentiment onto heavy vellum with Versamark and heat embossing white embossing powder. I wrapped the vellum strip around the layer and adhered it on the back. I added a few White Gem Stickers on the anchor. The top layer of each card is popped up with foam tape.



For this next card I kept the inking a bit lighter, just for a bit of a different look. I used the Because stamp set and Honey Cuts here. I die cut "because" twice from Neenah paper, glued them together and topped it off with some Wink of Stella. I used the middle shadow die to cut a vellum layer to put behind the word. I stamped the rest of the sentiment with Versafine Onyx Black ink, trimmed it into a strip, and popped it up with some foam squares.



It's hard to see in the photo but I also added Wink of Stella in various spots on the anchor--I do love some sparkle!!



For my final card I used the Journey stamps and Honey Cuts. I also wanted the word "each" which I found in the Fall stamp set. I did a little stamp surgery to stamp the word by itself. (Don't you totally love how so many Honey Bee sets work perfectly together?!!) The word journey is die cut three times and adhered together for extra dimension. I thought this sentiment is perfect for my walker friend!



To embellish this card, I added a few gems from the new Log Cabin Gem Stickers.



This is a beautiful set that can be used for so many different occasions! Don't forget that when you purchase it, 50% of the proceeds will go towards Hurricane Dorian relief. Thank you so much for stopping by--it's always so appreciated!! Carol
