Rustic Winter Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here. I'm so happy to be back with this monochromatic holiday card showcasing the beautiful Rustic Winter die set. I've had this set in my stash for years but for some reason never used it, and that was a huge mistake because it is amazing, I love those delicate and pretty deer!

I started off by cutting all the bits and pieces out of dark grey, light grey, white, and silver glitter cardstock. I added liquid stardust splatters to the white pieces, copic opaque white ink splatters and liquid stardust splatters to the dark grey and light grey pieces, and then assembled everything. I layered the deer, pine trees, birch trees, and bow on top of silver glitter pieces, but shifted them a little bit to get a pretty silver border around each element. The deer and birch trees are from Rustic Winter, the pine trees are from Distinctive Door Holiday Add-On, and the bow is from Wicker Basket.

Next I worked on my shaker background and cut a Rounded Rectangle Mat panel out of a Joyful Holiday snowflake pattern paper using the second largest die from the set. I used the second Stitched Semi Circle die to cut an opening out of my snowflake panel, cut an acetate panel slightly larger than the opening, created a frosty effect on the edges using copic opaque white ink and a sponge dauber, and once dry, I attached this piece of acetate at the back of my panel to create a window.

To turn this opening into a snow globe, I temporarily taped the second Stitched Semi Circle die to a piece of dark grey cardstock using washi tape, cut the semi circle shape following the outside edges of the die, and then run the panel through my die cutting machine, with the die still attached, to cut a thin frame that I stuck to the front of my snowflake panel around the acetate window using liquid glue. I cut a white panel using the second Stitched Semi Circle die again, cut a wavy border out of this panel, added liquid stardust splatters to it, and once dry, I stuck that border at the bottom of the acetate window using liaquid glue. I cut a fishtail banner out of light grey cardstock using a die from the Stitched Rectangle die set, white heat embossed "Peace, love & joy to the world" from Build-A-Greeting Holidays on it, and attached that banner right below the window using 1mm foam squares.

For the inside of my shaker, I first cut a Classic Sunburst black & grey panel using the second largest Rounded Rectangle Mat die, and added white splatters and liquid stardust splatters to it. On that black & grey panel, I added another white wavy border, making sure it was higher than the one on the front panel, and then stuck seven birch trees from Rustic Winter. I attached two layers of foam strips all around the edges of my inside panel, poured tiny crystal stones on the trees, peeled all the backing papers off the foam strips, and then stuck my front panel to the foam strips to totally close my shaker panel. I attached my shaker panel to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches black panel, next to a white card base, and then I stuck the deer, pine trees, and bow using 1mm and 2mm foam squares.

To decorate each top corner of the card, I cut Lacy Snowflakes out of the same cardstock as the other pieces, added the same details and textures, and assembled them using liquid glue. Finally, I glued White Snowflake Confetti in the center of each snowflake and bow as well. 

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

Reindeer Games Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm so happy to be back with this cheerful shaker card showcasing Santa and the reindeers getting ready for the holiday season. As very often I picked images from different sets to create a nice and cute mix & match scene, and as always everything is listed down below.

So, speaking of which, I started off by stamping my images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I used the coordinating dies to cut them all, and then colored everything using my Ohuhu markers and Graph'it brush markers. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • North Pole - Santa, north pole sign, nice list • Reindeer Games - reindeers • Snowmen In Sweaters - trees, snowflakes • Santa Claus Lane - presents, sack.

I added highlights and details to the images with a white gel pen, applied white blizzard nuvo drops to the trees to make the snow on them sparkle, and then moved on to the shaker panel and cut all the pieces I needed to build it. First, I cut a Rounded Rectangle Mat panel out of an All Is Bright turquoise paper using the largest die from the set. 

Next I picked the fourth smallest Rounded Rectangle Window die and cut two openings out of my turquoise panel. And using that same fourth smallest die again, I cut two panels out of white cardstock and cut a wavy border out of each of those white panels to create two snowy borders. For the background of my shaker, I used the largest Rounded Rectangle Mat die again to cut a Joyful Holiday polka dot panel.

Before assembling my shaker panel, I added texture to the different pieces. I mixed copic opaque white ink with water and used a slim brush to add white splatters to the turquoise panel and to the polka dot panel, I mixed liquid stardust with water and added sparkling splatters to the snowy borders, and when my turquoise panel was dry, I stamped "Have a super jolly Christmas" from Reindeer Games at the very bottom using black ink.

I attached a piece of acetate at the back of my turquoise panel using liquid glue, and still at the back of my panel, I attached foam strips around each opening and on the rest of the panel as well. I poured twenty White Snowflake confetti inside each opening and tiny clear crystal pieces as well, peeled all the backing papers off the foam strips, and then attached my polka dot panel to totally close my shaker panel. Back to the front of my panel, I stuck a snowy border at the bottom of each opening using liquid glue, attached my shaker panel to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches white panel and then to a white card base. Next I finally attached my images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. 

And that's it! I hope that you like this lovely holiday shaker card! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week!

Happy Owlidays Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina with another idea for a cute Christmas card! Today we are creating a holiday wreath with the adorable Happy Owlidays stamp and die set. I have always been a fan of cute owls and this set has three of them! If you would like to make multiples of this design you can switch out the owl for some variation!

This project was made with red, pink and teal colors, such a festive color combo in my opinion. After creating a simple white card base, I cut a teal background panel from the Striped Silly pack with the outer die from the Rounded Rectangle Mat set. While I had these dies out, I used the second largest one to create a white panel.

To add extra interest and dimension, I ran both panels through my die cutting machine using the Cable Knit embossing folder. This folder is perfect for all your winter cards! I glued both panels to the white card base with liquid glue.

Next, I stamped one of the cute owls and the wreath from the Happy Owlidays stamp set. The Santa hat was taken from Alpaca Holiday. I had fun coloring these images with my Copics. As always on my Christmas cards, I added a lot of snow with a white gel pen.

The beautiful large Merry Christmas sentiment (Holiday Greetings) was stamped with a red ink from my stash. It was the perfect fit for this design!

After mounting the wreath and sentiment to the panel with foam tape, I selected a few snowflakes made with the Snowflake Circle Frame die which is an absolute must have for your holiday projects. So easy to create a bunch of snowflakes in one pass through the machine! Lastly, I embellished the card by adding a Red Zircon Jewel to the center of each snowflake.

I can’t wait to see your ideas for these fun products! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Bountiful Autumn Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm very happy to be back with this new autumn themed card showcasing the lovely Bountiful Autumn stamp set. I've had this set in my stash for years but for some reason I never used it, so it was finally time to fix that.

As very often I started off by stamping the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I used the coordinating dies to cut them all, and then I colored everything using my alcohol markers. And it almost never happens: I only used images from Bountiful Autumn on this card!

When the coloring was done, I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and next I created the background. I cut a rounded panel out of a leafy green paper from the Sweater Weather paper pack using the largest Rounded Rectangle Mat die, mixed some peeled paint distress ink with water and added green splatters all over my panel, and then I did the same with copic opaque white ink.

Next I used the largest Rounded Rectangle Mat die again to cut a Gingham Jewel Tones turquoise panel, and used the second largest Rounded Rectangle Window die to turn my gingham panel into a frame. I added white splatters to that frame, and once dry, I attached it to my leafy green panel using 1mm foam squares.

I white heat embossed "Thankful" from Bountiful Autumn, stamped "For your kindness" on some light aqua cardstock using another stamp from the same set, cut it with the matching die, attached it below "Thankful" using 1mm foam squares, and then stuck all my cute images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. Finally I attached my rounded panel to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches light aqua panel using foam tape, and then the whole thing to a white card base. 

And that's it! I hope that you like this sweet and colorful autumn themed card. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time.

Squirrel Friends Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm very happy to be back with the extra cute Squirrel Friends, all gathered to pick acorns and have fun in the woods.

I started off by stamping the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, as always I used the matching dies to cut them all, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers and my Graph'it brush markers. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Squirrel Friends - squirrels, acorns, stump • Little Birdie - branches • Silly Sloths - leaves • Bunnyville - grass.

When the coloring was done, I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and next I moved on to the background. I cut a rounded panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock using the largest Rounded Rectangle Mat die, and created a bright background using stencils from my stash along with distress inks: a grass border using peeled paint distress ink, and a cloudy sky using scattered straw and fossilized amber distress ink.

Next I used the largest Rounded Rectangle Mat die again to cut a Gingham Jewel Tones brown panel, and used the second largest Rounded Rectangle Window die to turn my brown gingham panel into a rounded frame. I attached that frame to my cloudy panel using 1mm foam squares, stamped "You're a little nutty & I love it!" from Squirrel Friends, and then attached all the images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. Finally I stuck my rounded scene to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches dark brown panel, and then to a brown card base. 

And that's it! I hope that you like this lovely and warm autumn card. Thank you so much for stopping by, and see you next week!
