Bring On The Snow

Good morning everyone!  Today I'm sharing a card featuring one of the newer stamp sets from Paperie Ink.

These cute wintery images are from the Ski On stamp set.  Although we weren't skiing on Christmas Day we certainly had lots of snow falling and these two critters would have been right at home!  The night sky is a piece of pattern paper that I also spattered with white acrylic paint.  I diecut two snow slopes and inked the top edges with distress ink.  I colored all the images with copics and spattered everything with lots of acrylic paint.  I used a black glaze pen on their eyes and noses.  There are lots of other adorable critters included in this stamp set so stop by the shop and check it out!

Copics Used:

Fox - E08, E15, E13, E11; E02, E00; C3, C1, 100

Goggles - V04, V02, V000; BV20, BG70

Wishing You A Sweet Holiday Season

Good morning everyone!  Today I'm sharing a slimline card featuring one of the new stamp sets from Paperie Ink.

Don't you just love penguins?  I do!  These adorable penguins are from the Kebin The Penguin stamp set.  There are so many cuties in this set that are perfect for your Christmas and winter cards.  Actually, you could use these penguins year round!  The trees are from the Snow Good stamps and the sentiment is from the Sweet Christmas set.  

I made a slimline card that measures 3.5" x 8.5".  I cut a piece of white cardstock 7" x 8.5" and folded it in half to create my card base.  Next I applied distress inks to a piece of bristol card.  I spattered the bristol with water and once dry adhered it to my card base.  I cut two snow slopes and adhered them to my card.  I colored all the penguins and trees with copics.  I used a black glaze pen on the penguin eyes and I added some highlights with a white gel pen.  I added Nuvo Crystal Glaze to the penguin beaks and feet and to the star and ornaments of the first penguin.  I adhered the images with foam tape and then spattered my card with white watercolor paint.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a beautiful week!

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

Good morning everyone!  Today I'm sharing a Christmas card using some adorable bears from Paperie Ink. 

These sweet bears are from the So Merry stamp set and the sentiment is from the Like Christmas stamp set.  I diecut a stitched rectangle from bristol card and sponged it with Dusty Concord and Spun Sugar distress oxide inks.  Once the panel was dry I stamped and heat-embossed some snowflakes.  I diecut a snowy slope, stamped the sentiment, and adhered it to my card with foam tape.  I stamped the bears and ornaments, ran them through my ScanNCut, and then colored them with copics.  I used a black glaze pen on the bears' eye and noses and then adhered them to my card.

I wrapped silver cording over the top of the stitched rectangle and adhered the ornaments with foam tape.  I added Nuvo Crystal Glaze to make the ornaments shine and then added tiny silver bows to each ornament.

Good Tidings To You

Good morning friends!  Today I'm sharing a fun shaped Christmas card.

These sweet animals are from the Good Tidings To You stamp set by Evelin T Designs.  I made the base of my card by diecutting white cardstock using a large circle die.  I also diecut a circle from bristol card, sponged it with distress oxide inks, and heat embossed white snowflakes.  I diecut two snow slopes, sponged the tops of the slopes with distress ink, and adhered the snow slopes directly to my card with liquid adhesive.  I stamped the images, ran them through my ScanNCut, and then colored them with copics.  I used a black glaze pen on their eyes and noses and added some polka-dots to one of the gifts with a white gel pen.  I stamped a sentiment on the snow and then adhered the sweet critters with foam tape.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
