Snowflake Window Card

Hi there,

I created this Snowflake Window Card for Elizabeth Craft Designs:

• cut out one of the Elizabeth Craft Designs Snowflakes from the front of a white cardbase
• adhere a piece of vellum behind the opening and puzzle the snowflake back in
• stamp the sentiment from the Elizabeth Craft Designs Classic Christmas Sentiments set with Versamark and heat-emboss it with Ranger Liquid Platinum embossing powder

• cut out a hill shape from smooth white cardstock using one of the Elizabeth Craft Designs Adventure Edges
• stamp the snowman builders from the Elizabeth Craft Designs Christmas Kids set with Memento Tuxedo Black
• lay down a base coat of color with Delta, Touch Twin Brush and Copic Markers
• add extra shading with Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils
• stamp a second sentiment and some snowflakes from the Elizabeth Craft Designs Classic Christmas Sentiments set with Versamark and heat-emboss all of it with Ranger Liquid Platinum embossing powder

Have a christmasy day.

Hugs,

Happy Holiday Critters

Hi there,

I created this Christmas Critter card for the Stamping-Fairies Facebook Group:

• cut out a rectangle from watercolor cardstock and stamp three critters and the sentiment from the Avery Elle Polar Peek a Boo Pals with Versafine Onyx Black
• color the images with Faber-Castell Albrecht-Dürer pencils and a damp watercolor brush
• stamp some snowflakes from the same set with Altenew Crisp Ink (Arctic, Caribbean Sky)
• add some Nuvo Drops White Blizzard as final embellishment
• mount the watercolor panel onto a piece of patterned paper from the BoBunny Altitude 6x6 paper pad before adhering all the layers to a kraft cardbase

Have a christmasy day.

Hey Friend

Hi there,

I created another card using the adorable new Gerda Steiner Designs Foxes set:

• color one of the foxes and some mushrooms from the Gerda Steiner Designs Foxes set with Faber-Castell Albrecht Dürer pencils and a damp watercolor brush
• add highlights with a white gel pen
• create a background using patterned paper from the Maja Design Walking in the Forest 6x6 paper pad
• cut out some grass and a hill shape using the Elizabeth Craft Designs Adventure Edges 
• use the sentiment from the same stamp set
• adhere all the layers to a kraft cardbase
• add Nuvo Crystal Drops Caramel Cream as final embellishment

I hope you got inspired.

Hugs,

Peace, Love, Joy Tag

Hi there,

we are starting a new Challenge over on the Elizabeth Craft Designs Blog and this time the topic is "A floral Christmas":

• cut out all the pieces you need to assemble two pine cones and some foliage using the Elizabeth Craft Designs Pine Cone die set, white Soft Finish Cardstock and kraft cardstock
• add shading to the kraft cardstock using Distress Ink Gathered Twigs
• color the foliage with Delta, Touch Twin Brush and Copic Markers
• cove a pre-cut tag with white gesso and create a background using Distress Paint (Stormy Sky, Walnut Stain)
• add splatters with watered-down white acrylic paint
• stamp the sentiment from the Elizabeth Craft Designs Classic Christmas Sentiments with Archival Ink Coffee
• shape the pine cone elements with the Elizabeth Craft Designs Metal Tool Set and adhere them directly to the tag
• cut out a bow from felt using dies from the Elizabeth Craft Designs Spring Basket set
• dye a piece of seam binding with Distress Stain Tarnished Brass and thread it through the hole of the tag
• add some snow effects using Elizabeth Craft Designs Cool Diamond Silk Microfine Glitter

The question for this month is - Which Elizabeth Craft Designs flower or foliage die or stamp set would you chose to create a Christmas card or decoration?

Hugs,

Christmas Shaker Tag Duo

Hi there,

I created this cute Christmas Shaker tag duo for the Karten-Kunst Blog:

• cut out two tags from smooth white cardstock and two tags from patterned paper from the Lawn Fawn Perfectly Plaid Christmas 6x6 pap pad with the help of the Karten-Kunst Tag dies
• add openings to the patterned paper tags using dies from the same set
• stamp the sentiments from the Karten-Kunst Capri Weihnachtspost with Versafine Onyx Black
• cover the opening with acetate and create a shaker pocket with double-sided foam adhesive
• fill the shaker with Nuvo Crystal Cloud Circles and Nuvo Desert Sunset Stars
• close the shaker with the previously cut white tags
• thread multi-colored twine through the holes of the tags

Have a christmasy day.

Hugs,
