Sweet Holiday Greetings

Hello friends!  Today I'm sharing a clean and simple Christmas card featuring some adorable snowmen by Whipper Snapper Designs!

I've had this cute stamp for years and this is the first time I've ever inked it up.  I've really been trying to pull out some of my older never-used stamps and create with them!  I cut a piece of bristol card and inked it with Peacock Feathers, Prize Ribbon, and Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide Inks.  I splattered it with thinned white gouache and adhered it to my card front.

I colored the snowmen with copics and then applied Nuvo Crystal Glaze to their noses and buttons.  I fussy-cut the snowmen and then used a white gel pen to add some highlights.  I adhered the snowmen with foam tape and added some die cut snowflakes.  The sentiment is from a stamp set in my stash.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a fantastic day!

Hugs, Anita

Trick Or Treat

Hello friends and happy Wednesday!  I'm sharing a Halloween card featuring a fun digital stamp.

This cute witch and her kitty are by Andrea LaGafotas.  I found this stamp a couple of years ago in her Etsy shop and I finally found some time to color this sweet image!  I just checked her shop and I no longer see this digital stamp listed but you may be able to message her and inquire about it.  I absolutely adore their giant eyeglasses lol.  I die cut a panel of bristol card and used a stencil and distress oxide inks to create the cloudy background.  

I printed the images on Neenah card stock, colored them with copics, and fussy-cut them.  I adhered the images to the card with foam tape for added dimension.  The die cut sentiment is from my stash and I believe it was from Reverse Confetti (which is no longer in business).

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a wonderful day!

You're Pumpkin Spice & Everything Nice

Hello friends!  Today I'm sharing a card featuring a new digital stamp from the Streamside Studios shop.

This adorable image is Pumpkin Latte.  There are two images included in the set, along with lots of fun sentiments so be sure to stop by and check it out!  I printed the image and sentiment on Neenah card stock and then die cut the panel with a stitched rectangle die.  I colored the image with copics and then masked it so I could add Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Ink to give the image some shading.

Thank you so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a great day!

You Are Spook-Tacular

Hello friends!  Today I'm sharing a Halloween card featuring a sweet little witch from the LTTS Doodles Etsy shop. 

I cut a panel of bristol card and inked it with Seedless Preserves, Chipped Sapphire, and Black Soot Distress Oxide Inks.  I splattered the panel with white gouache and thinned black acrylic paint and adhered it to my card.  I used a die from Hello Bluebird to die cut the spooky trees from black card stock and adhered it to my card.  I printed the cute witch on Neenah card stock, colored her with copics, and fussy cut her.  I adhered the witch to my card with foam tape.  Lastly, I heat embossed a sentiment from my stash and adhered it to the card with foam tape also.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a great weekend!

These cute bats and sentiment are from the Halloween Squishes digital stamp set.  There are lots of fun images and sentiments in this set so be sure to stop by the shop and check it out!  I diecut a stitched rectangle from bristol card and used a cloud stencil to ink clouds with Peacock Feathers, Chipped Sapphire, and Black Soot Distress Oxide Inks.  I splattered the panel with both white gouache and black acrylic paint.  I printed one of the sentiments from the stamp set on the inked panel and then adhered some tiny black stars that I diecut from black card stock.  I printed the bats on Neenah card stock, colored them with colored pencils, and fussy-cut them.  I used a white gel pen to add highlights to the bats and adhered them to my card with foam tape.

Christmas Wishes

Good morning crafty friends!  I'm sharing a fun Christmas card featuring stamps by Streamside Studios!

This sweet snow couple is from the Snow Much Happiness clear stamp set.  The sentiment is from the Merry Christmouse clear stamp set.  I cut a piece of bristol card 4.25" x 5.5" and heat embossed white snowflakes on the panel.  I added distress oxide inks to the panel and then splattered it with Liquid Stardust to add some shimmer.  I adhered a snowy slope to the card.  I diecut a stitched frame from white card stock and adhered it to the card with foam tape.

I colored the snow couple with copics and added stripes and polkadots with a white gel pen.  I added Nuvo Crystal Glaze to the berries and buttons.  I  fussy-cut the snowmen and adhered them to my card with foam tape.  

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a fabulous day!
