Diagonal & Straight Stripes Stencil Focused Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm so happy to be back on the blog with this holiday card featuring the mouse family again. This time, they're back for a Christmas adventure, whether they're busy decorating the tree, or enjoying some quiet time by the fireplace, or delivering presents larger than the chimney pipe! I love how this slimline card turned out, and how we get three mini scenes on one single card.

As very often, I started off by stamping all the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I cut them all using the matching dies, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers and my Graph'it brush markers.

Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Cozy Christmas - armchairs, Christmas tree, cushions, lamp, glass of milk, presents • Santa Claus Lane - fireplace, chimney, stockings, sleigh, presents, baubles • Christmas Critters - mouse, reindeer antlers • Lazy Christmas - large presents • Merry Mice - mice, hat • Beach Bus - mouse • North Pole - cookie plate, presents • Harvest Mice - mouse.

Next I cut an 8,5 x 3,5 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel that I divided in different sections, from bottom to top: floor, wallpaper, roof and sky. I started off with the floor, and created a base first using antique linen oxide ink. And to make a parquet floor, I used the Straight Stripes stencil along with vintage photo oxide ink to create a wood plank pattern. For the wallpaper, I did a base first using saltwater taffy oxide ink, and I used the Diagonal Stripes stencil along with worn lipstick oxide ink to add a nice pattern to my wall. I kept the roof simple, and did a 1/4" separation stripe using hickory smoke and black soot oxide inks. And finally I did the sky using salty ocean, prize ribbon and black soot oxide inks.

As always, I added texture to my background. I mixed some vintage photo oxide ink with water, and added splatters to the parquet floor. Mixed some worn lipstick oxide ink with water, and added splatters to the wall. Splattered water on the sky and dried the paper with a paper towel. Mixed some chipped sapphire oxide ink with water, added more splatters to the sky, and did the same with liquid stardust. Finally, I mixed some copic opaque white ink with water, and added white splatters all over the panel.

Once the panel was dry, I white heat embossed "Merry Christmouse" from Merry Mice at the very bottom, and attached all the images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. Added highlights and details to the images using a white gelly roll pen, a dot of glossy accents on the berries on the wall and lights in the tree, and to make the snow on the chimney sparkle, I added liquid glue, sprinkled fine glitter on the glue, let it dry and removed the excess of glitter with a fluffy brush.

And that's it! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!

Toasty Hugs Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm happy to be back with this new super duper colorful Christmas card showcasing the lovely Toasty Hugs characters, as well as some of my all time favorite stamps from Scenic Route, and a color palette I've never used on a holiday card before, or even used at all.

As very often, I started off by stamping my images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I cut them all using the matching dies, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers and Graph'it brush markers.

Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Toasty Hugs - boy and girl • Scenic Route - strings of lights, houses • Cozy Christmas - Christmas tree, present • Santa Claus Lane - presents • Reindeer Games - reindeers • Snowmen In Sweaters - snowflakes, trees.

Next I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel that I colored using oxide inks. On the top part I blended some shaded lilac, wilted violet and villainous potion. I splattered water droplets on the sky, and dried the cardstock using a paper towel. I mixed some villainous potion oxide ink with water, and used a slim brush to add splatters to my sky. On the bottom part I applied tumbled glass and peacock feathers oxide inks. I mixed some tumbled glass with water, and used my slim brush again to add splatters on the panel. Next I mixed some copic opaque white ink with water, and added splatters all over my panel, and I did the same with liquid stardust.

Once my panel was dry, I stamped "Wishing you a holly jolly Christmas" from Santa Claus Lane at the bottom of my panel using black versafine ink, and then I attached all the images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. For the last details, I added highlights on the images using a white gel pen and a dot of glossy accents on all the lights. And I wanted the snow on the trees and roofs to be sparkling, so I added liquid glue on those spots, sprinkled fine glitter, let the glue dry, and then went over the whole panel with a fluffy brush to get rid of the excess glitter.

And that's it! I love how this little scene turned out, this color palette is really gorgeous, isn't it? I hope you like it. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!

Cozy Christmas Card with Gladys

Hello crafty friends! Gladys here with a holiday card featuring the Cozy Christmas stamp set.

To start, I stamped the images from the Cozy Christmas set with alcohol friendly ink. I colored them using Copic markers then used the coordinating die to cut them out.

Next, I used an A2 size stitched rectangle die to cut the card panel out of the Joyful Holiday paper pack. I used two patterns, the blue snowflake background and gray plaid paper. I darken the edges of the blue paper using chipped sapphire distress oxide ink to add depth. Then I used the largest Stitched Arch die to cut the center creating a window for my scene.

To assemble the card, I cut a piece of kraft paper to ground the images. I backed the images with double side foam tape to give some dimension. I adhered all the elements within the arched panel. To add interest, I added scallops using the Sweet Treats House Add-On dies on the top panel to make it look like the roof top of the house. Finally, I stamped and adhered the sentiment to complete this cozy little Christmas scene.  

Thanks so much for stopping by the blog. Have a wonderful day!
