Merry Mocha Card with Tina

Hello crafty friends, it’s Tina with a very adorable Christmas card featuring the sweet Merry Mocha stamp and die set! And who better to add to a ‘Merry’ card than five cuties from Penguin Party. I always had a soft spot for these little guys, so I was thrilled to let them join the festivities!

For my base panel I die cut a piece of white Neenah paper with the largest of the Stitched Semi Circles. Sometimes I feel a bit intimidated to create a full A2 size scene. Using a smaller shape as your focal point really comes in handy to limit that space. It’s a technique I love to use on my cards. Next, I added some fun texture to this white piece by dry embossing it with the Lots of Dots embossing folder.

I created a white card base and added a beautiful red plaid paper from the All Is Bright pad cut with the outer die from the Frilly Frames Stripes die. This instantly provides a pop of color!

After stamping and die cutting all my images, I used my trusty Copics for the coloring. Going for the traditional holiday colors this time. Since you can never have enough sparkle, I added some white glitter to the brim of the hats, pompoms, and candy canes.

Before placing the penguins onto the white semi-circle, I masked off the bottom portion and inked it with some Abandoned Coral Distress Oxide ink. My sentiment is from the Merry Mocha set and I stamped it with Versafine Onyx Black ink.

To assemble the card, I glued my white panel to the card base, added all the critters and the cute mug. Finally, I mounted the sentiment to the left corner with some foam tape. A few Chrystal Clear jewels were added as embellishments. These are by far my favorite gems as they go with so many designs!

Wishing you lots of crafty fun making your own scene with this sweet Merry Mocha set! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Penguin Pals Card with Rachel

Hello crafty friends! It's Rachel here with a Christmas card featuring one of the sweet little penguins from the Penguin Pals Stamp Set.

I combined this set with a gorgeous sentiment from the Season's Greetings Stamp Set. I first stamped my images (penguin and candy cane) onto a sheet of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I then colored them with Copic alcohol markers and used the coordinating Penguin Pals Die Set to cut them out.

Copic Colors Used:

• White: 0, C00, C1, C3
• Black: W7, W9
• Reds: R14, R46, R59, R89
• Orange: YR04, YR18
• Cheeks: RV52

For my background, I trimmed a piece of light blue card stock slightly larger than 4.25" x 5.5" and blended the top of it with some MFT Blue Yonder Premium Dye Ink. I also added some snow spatters with some diluted Copic Opaque White Paint. Next, I trimmed off the ink smudges from the edges by cutting my panel down to 4.25" x 5.5" with my paper trimmer. I then die cut a stitched snow drift from white card stock with one of the Slimline Nature Border Dies. 

To finish my card, I heat embossed my sentiment onto a piece of red card stock with Fine Detail White Embossing Powder and then adhered it to my card base with some liquid adhesive after I die cut it. Lastly, I added my images with 3D foam adhesive tape and also adhered a strip of patterned paper from the All is Bright Paper Pad at the bottom of my card.

Thanks so much for dropping by! Wishing you all a lovely day!

Holiday Greetings Cards with Vanessa and Tina

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a pink holiday card using the Holiday Greetings set.

I started with a panel of white cardstock and masked off a hill on the bottom of the panel. Now I applied Kitsch Flamingo, Festive Berries and Picked Raspberries Distress Oxide Inks using the Forest Trees Stencils. After I had removed the mask, I adhered the panel to my card base. 

Then I stamped the snowmen from Snowman Kisses, colored the images with Copics, die-cut the pieces with the matching dies and adhered the elements to the card with foam tape. I stamped the sentiment, inking the stamp with red and pink inks, die-cut it and adhered it to the front. Finally, I added snow with a white gel pen.

Do you like pinks for holiday cards? Have a lovely weekend :)

Hello crafty friends, Tina here with a sweet mini slimline Christmas card featuring the new Holiday Greetings stamp and die set! I love the size and the beautiful font of these sentiments!

Today we are creating an arctic scene for the cute penguins from the Penguin Pals set. First, I die cut two mini slimline rectangles out of Neenah Solar White cardstock. One of these was used to create two snowy hills for my front panel.

On the second rectangle I stamped a mountain range from Country Scenes. However, the mountains come with a pine border that I masked off since we are going for a South Pole look. To complete the scene I also stamped and die cut the igloo from Winter Scenes and three adorable penguins from the Penguin Pals set. All the images were colored with Copic markers, and I added tons of snowflakes with a white gel pen.

The sky of the card panel and the two snowy hills were inked with Distress Oxides, and covered with white snowflakes. To get a ‘frosty’ look, I added some white glitter and mica flakes to the mountain tops, igloo, snow banks and icy block.

I stamped one of the sentiments from the Holiday Greetings stamp in pink and used the die set to cut it out. To create dimension, I cut two extra sentiment layers from with card stock and stacked them all together with liquid glue.

To assemble the card, I added the two snowy hills to the panel and adhered my images and sentiment. I glued my card panel to a white lacy rectangle and mounted it to a card base. As embellishment I added a few of the Pure White Jewels scattered around the sentiment.

And that finishes my artic scene card! Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and happy crafting!
