Holiday Style Sending Joy Card with Eloise

Hello everyone! Eloise here and today I'm making another fun card using the Holiday Style stamp set. This one is my personal favourite from the release, I love them all but this one.. it's just gorgeous! So, I decided to use it again today for the look I originally intended to go for. I used some pigment inks along with some more pastel-y, more soft colours for the ornaments and branches too, to create this card here and I love how it turned out, even if stamping a sentiment did take four attempts.

So to begin my card today I stamped out all of my ornaments and branches onto some white cardstock in various colours of pigment inks. I used my MISTI to help stamp them all out, these are pretty easy to line up, but the branches I wanted some variation in colour to them, so re stamping the branches was a lot easier with the MISTI tool.

Once I stamped them all out, I used the matching dies to cut all my pieces out. I then applied liquid adhesive to the branch in the back and stuck that down to a kraft panel. I then used foam adhesive and places that on the back of the rest of the pieces and adhered it down into place too. Once I had my layout sorted out, I was going to draw some lines on for the strings, but I didn't want to ruin my card if I didn't like them, so I pulled out some grey thread and decided to thread on the ornaments to the branches, to give a little more texture and I really love how it turned out! I could have tied a bow at the top of each of them, but since the card was quite busy already I didn't want to go over board.

Before stamping the sentiment, I decided to go ahead and add some white dots to the background, so I used a white gel pen and added some in the background, fading down to the bottom of the card. I then needed to stamp my sentiment. As mentioned before after 4 attempts I finally liked something. For my first attempt, I stamped the sentiment crooked in the bottom left hand corner, so then I tried to cover it up with a strip, but the strip had to be too thick and the large strip just looked too awkward. Then I decided to cut the kraft piece at an angle, to cut off the failed sentiment and then at this point I embossed the sentiment directly on the white card base and adhered the kraft piece on top, but again I didn't like it so I pulled off the panel, ditched the card base and decided to go with a small sentiment from the Gleeful Reindeer set and heat embossed 'Sending Joy' on a white banner with some silver embossing powder and adhered that in the top right hand corner and I liked that a lot better!

To finish up the card, I then added some Wink of Stella onto the ornaments to make them sparkle and shine!

Thanks for stopping by today I hope you got inspired. Make sure you stop by the blog the rest of the week for more inspiration!

Little Baker Angels Card with Lexa

Hi everyone!

It's Lexa here with these cute little angels as bakers for today. I love how versatile Sunny Studio Stamps are, you can mix all of them to make cards for all year around just like I have done here today. I combined Blissful Baking and Little Angels stamps, and they look so good together.

I started the card with a piece of 4.25" x 5.5" white cardstock and created a window using the second largest arc from Sunny Semi Circles dies and cut the rest with craft knife following the end points on both sides. I stamped all my images with Versafine black ink and watercolored them with Distress Markers. After I finished with the coloring, I die cut all the images with the coordinating dies. 

I created a dreamy background with dye inks from various brands. Building up the scene is the most fun part when making a card. I also add some clear sequins for extra sparkle. Here's a closer look at my card..

Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you like today's card and have a wonderful day!
