Little Angels Heaven Sent Sunburst Card with Lindsey

Hi, Lindsey here today sharing a card using Little Angels and Angelic Sentiments. The little angels are just so cute and coordinates perfectly with Angelic Sentiments. This set is great for the holidays and also works great for everyday cards. Let's get started on how I created this card.

I began with an A2 piece of white card stock. To create my background, I used distress inks. I simply masked off the area I wanted to ink up using some scrap paper. I would blend the ink in that area and then move the mask to the next area. 

Once I had the background finished, I cut some strips of white card stock using a cloud border. I stamped my sentiment on the back cloud and attached the clouds to the top of the background piece. I stamped two little angels and two clouds on some white card stock and colored the angels using Copic markers. I attached the angles to the clouds and then to the card using regular adhesive and foam tape. To finish the card, I added some Wink of Stella to the clouds and angel wings, and I attached a scattering of sequins.

That's it for me today. I hope you enjoyed my card and will give this adorable set a  try. I can't wait to see what you guys create. Thanks for reading and have a great day!

Santa' s Helpers Christmas Card with Emily

Doesn't the kitty look snug in that stocking? Santa's Helpers is one of my favourite holiday animal holiday sets! I love colouring them and they are so cute. I coloured all of the images at once so I could make a whole batch of cards. They'll be going to all the friends who have pets or are getting new pets this Christmas.

I heat embossed both the image and the sentiment with sparkle embossing powder so the black outline is super sparkly! It's perfect for holiday cards. I created a diamond-shaped focal point by connecting two banners made with the Fishtail Banners Dies.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Merry Sentiments Rainbow Lights Card with Eloise

Hey everyone! Eloise here and today I'm making a rainbow string of lights card using the Merry Sentiments stamp set. My original idea for this card was to just have the three strings across a card, similar to how the card turned out this time and to just have a popped up sentiment over top, but when I did that.. I wasn't sure I liked it. It was too clean and simple and needed more colour and if you know me, I never have clean and simple cards. So I came up with this card.

To begin my card I cut down a piece of white cardstock and stamped down some branches from the Holiday Style stamp set in various green inks. Just around the top of the card. I then took a plate and traced around the edge of it to create the lines for the lights to sit on. I then used various colours of rainbow coloured inks and stamped down the bulbs. I stamped down two of each in case I made a mistake, but these bulbs are so easy to line up! Once everything was stamped, I could die cut them out.

Now, since this die is solid, there was a little bit of an issue. So I used a trick I learnt from Michelle Short quite a while back. All you do first is die cut the die out of some plain cardstock. Then you use the negative piece and place it over your stamped image in the spot where it's equal on all sides. Then adhere it down with washi tape. Then place the die over top and it should just fall into place, then adhere that down and you're ready to run it through your big shot. When you run it through and take it out, your image should be perfectly centred! I love this trick, so handy.

Anyway, once all my pieces were die cut I adhered down all my bulbs with foam tape, in my rainbow order. I always like to start with yellow first, I don't know why. But anyway, once they were all adhered I then stamped out the '& bright' portion of the sentiment at the top of the card in black ink. I then used the Merry die and die cut that out of gold cardstock and adhered it down above the '& bright' portion of the sentiment. To finish up my card I adhered down the panel with fun foam on a kraft card base and added some wink of stella all over the lights.

Hope you enjoyed my card today. Definitely wasn't what I was planning at all, But I love all the green  stamping at the top. I always love green on my cards! Thanks for stopping by today and check back the rest of the week for more inspiration.

Christmas Cards with Guest Designer Anika Lerche

Hey stampers, Anni here. I am back again as a guest designer and so happy that Mendi is such a kind person to let me come back for a few cards.

With Christmas just around the corner I have some Christmas cards to share with you!
I played with the super cuts sets called Christmas Icons and Mug Hugs. For the sentiments I used the set Merry Sentiments and the Merry Word Die.

I totally love the Merry Word Die - just like every word die Mendi creates! So I made it the star of the show on my first very clean and very simple card. I just watercolored some pointsettias from the set Christmas Icons. For the sentiment I die cut a few Merry and stacked them up. I free hand cut some leaves and assembled the card!

When I realized the Christmas Icons fit perfectly on the Hug Mugs I couldn't resist! I stamped, colored with Copics and fuzzy cut the images. I created a background with ink blending and splashes of water. Another simple card!

For my last card I stamped all the snowflakes from Mug Hugs and  heat embossed them on watercolor paper. I love these outline snowflakes so much! For the soloring I used some ZIG Clean Color Real Brush! Just add a die cut Merry from glitter cardstock and another festive card is done!

Hope you like the cards!
Thanks for stopping by and have a sunny week!

Gleeful Reindeer Money Pockets by Lexa

Hello crafty friends! Lexa here with another idea using Gleeful Reindeer stamp and it's coordinating dies. One of my friend asked me to make her some money pockets in Christmas theme, I was thinking why not..so today I will show you the result.

Each pocket is sized 3" x 6" so it will fit the money perfectly (in this case I measured the money first to decide the envelope size) I used red cardstock and stamped a reindeer head and some snowflakes from Christmas Icons using tone on tone technique so it's not over the top. I stamped all my images with versafine black ink and watercolored them with Distress Markers. I was thinking I would like to create a little scene for the back panel of my envelope. I started with a piece of white smooth cardstock and blended some Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot Distress Inks for the night sky. 

Next I put all the pieces together.  The magic snow marker is always perfect for a snow effect on the trees. It gives you extra dimension, so puffy and cute. I also created falling snow with a white gel pen. It's super easy, quick and adorable. Here's a closer look at today's project.

I hope you all like it.  Thank you so much for stopping by today. Have a wonderful day!
