Little Angels Guard You Card by Lexa

Hello crafty friends! Lexa here today with an sweet card starring Little Angels stamp and coordinating dies. This set not only perfect for Christmas but also all year round; their sweet little faces won't bore you out. Just like I did for my card, it will be sweet for any occasion.

I started my card with two pieces of 4" x 5.25" white cardstocks The first piece will be my card base, so I blend some Tumbled Glass and Peacock Feathers Distress Inks as the sky, then I splattered it with water using my brush. The second one is for the cloud, I die cut three pieces of clouds and one piece vellum to go along with it. To create some dimensions, I use foam tape to adhere the cloud borders.

All the little angels are stamped with Versafine black ink on a piece of watercolor paper and I colored them with Distress Markers. I tend to keep them simple and white, so I just add a little shadow on their clothes and wings. Don't forget the rosy cheek for extra cuteness. :)

I absolutely LOVE Angelic Sentiments, it goes really well with the stamp set. The verse I used in my card catches my attention since the first time I saw this set. Lovely and comforting at the same time. I decided to use gold embossing powder to make it shine. Last but not least, I adhered my scene to a piece of 4.25" x 5.5" patterned paper with a gold foil in it to match my golden sentiment.

Here's a closer look to all the details in my card. The clear sequins add something special to finish my card.

I hope you like what I made today. Thank you so much for stopping by and I wish you an amazing day!

Merry Sentiments Merry Little Christmas Card with Vanessa

Hi there! Vanessa here with my first Christmas card of the year. You got to love the amazing new layering stamps like the Merry Sentiments set that can be used to create the cutest light bulbs!

I trimmed a piece of rustic cream cardstock slightly smaller than my grey card base and drew a string for the bulbs with a pencil. Then I stamped all the bulbs and adhered the panel to the card. I die-cut the "merry"from black fun foam and from pink cardstock and adhered it to the card. Now I stamped the sentiment onto a strip of pink cardstock, trimmed it and adhered it.

I love creating with the new stamp sets! Although I have to admit I am not in the mood for Christmas yet :) Hope to see you back next Thursday! Thanks for stopping by!

A Red, White & Blue Holiday Card with Lindsey

Hi! Lindsey here today sharing a holiday card using the new Gleeful Reindeer. I just love the cute little images in this set, and there is just so much you can do with it. Let's get started on how I created this card.

This card was a little different for me because I chose to do a 4 1/2" square card instead of the usual A2 size. I began with a red stitched square. On top of the red, I placed a 4"x 4" dark blue piece of cardstock that I cut some stars out of to make the night sky. To make the stars sparkle, I placed some silver, glitter cardstock behind the openings. Next, I created a moon using a die cut circle and some Copic markers. I colored the circle with a light gray and then added some darker gray circles to give it some dimension. 

I stamped the banner from the Little Angels set and added some shading with Copic markers. I stamped the sentiment from Gleeful Reindeer. Then I stamped and colored the reindeer with Copic markers. I cut the banner and reindeer using the coordinating dies. To finish the card, I added some Wink of Stella to the banner and some accents with a white gel pen.

That's it for me today. Thanks for reading, and I hope you'll check out this adorable set. I can't wait to see what you guys create. Keep checking back to the blog for lots of inspiration using the new winter release. Have a great day!

Sending A Big Hug In A Mug Card with Emily

I'm so excited to share this card using Mug Hugs! I know a lot of you are coffee lovers but this set is for everyone who loves hot beverages of any kind. There's a mug of cocoa and a takeout cup, which could be tea! London Fog Lattes are one of my favourite teas to get when I'm at my local coffee shop.

I love that there are three beverage options, sweet treats and several awesome sentiments in this set for endless possibilities! I heat embossed and watercoloured all of the images using distress inks. I added a poinsettia from Christmas Icons to decorate the takeout cup.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Holiday Style Stamped Bough Background with Eloise

Hi everyone! Eloise here and today I'm here to show you my card using the Holiday Style stamp set. This is probably my personal favourite from the release. I love the big bough image along with the ornament stamps. Did I mention they're layering stamps too?! Absolutely amazing. They are so super fun and easy to layer up to create a fun dimensional ornament. The sentiments are super great too! I love the mix of fonts.

To begin my card today I started off with creating my background. I was originally going to stamp just one layer of the bough image, but instead I decided to stamp it on two pieces and layer it up. To make the bough image line up on the piece that's popped up and the piece on the card base I used my MISTI, just to make it easier on myself. You could try doing this just by hand with acrylic blocks and layering the pieces on top of each other (one full background and one die cut piece) and then stamping on top to get the image stamped in the same spot on both pieces easier, but I have a MISTI and voted doing it this way round this time. So, to do my stamping I first put in my full sized piece of cardstock and then layered my smaller die cut piece over top and then marked on the grid paper inside my MISTI where that die cut piece needed to be in the centre so when I went to line it up next time, it could be in the same position. I hope this makes sense. So now that I knew where my paper had to be placed I could begin stamping. 

For the large background piece I stamped down my images with Versamark ink and clear heat embossed them after every time I stamped down one, just so it didn't dry on me. For my smaller die cut piece, I used various green inks to create and ombre effect and because I used my MISTI, my stamp stayed in the same spot and I could ink up one colour at a time and just wipe off a little to make it blend together nicely. This also benefitted me for stamping the stamp in the same spot on both pieces too. Once all my stamping was done I could ink blend the background. I used two Distress Inks - Blueprint Sketch and Tumbled glass and created an ombre background too, fading into the middle where the other piece was going to be layered on top and because I clear heat embossed the boughs to begin with, they resisted the ink and remained white.

Now that the background was blended, I stamped out the sentiment with some black ink on top of the green stamped piece and then added a sheet of fun foam behind it and added it to the middle of my card, lining it up so it looked like it was continuous. For the last bit of my card I wanted to add a pop of colour. I took the layering bow from the set and grabbed three redish inks and stamped them on top of each other. This was so easy to line up and it looks amazing! I grabbed some twine and added a double bow behind the stamped bow and adhered them down to my card. To finish it up I grabbed my Wink of Stella in the clear and added it onto the bow, the word Christmas and a little to the green stamped boughs.

I hope you enjoyed my card today and got inspired. Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope you'll come back the rest of the week to check out some more projects!
