Creating a Scene Card

 

I feel in love with this Yuletide Village Stamp Set when I saw it! I tried to create a scene with masking and pretty happy with how it came out! I used Stampin' Blends so color, a Blending Brush to create the sky and Joyful Sayings Ephemera Pack for the greeting. I am really excited to create another scene with Masking Paper and the Stamp Set. (this really has inspired me) 

I did also add a little Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush for the snow to glisten and a few Basic Rhinestones for some sparkle. Thanks for stopping by!

Winter Meadow

 

This is the final card I have to share inspired by the Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge for this week. I loved the deer picture, yet I do not have a deer stamp, but then I remembered the deer on the Winter Meadow DSP. I wanted to change the color a little so I took out my Blending Brushes and added the colors that I saw from the picture.  I love how it turned out!

Since the DSP was really all I needed I wanted to add a little texture so I reached for the Timber 3D Embossing Folder and ran that through with Crumb Cake Cardstock.  I also added a little scrap of Country Woods DSP. I didn't have a sentiment that fit into the space the way I wanted so I reached for a retired greeting, which I Silver Heat Embossed. Finally I added a few Rhinestones Basic Jewels to add a little shine.

I love how just adding a little color to this DSP really made it look different. I hope this inspires you to use what you have to create your ideas. I hope you are inspired to join the Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge for this week! Have a blessed day! 

Snowflakes!

 

The Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge for this week was inspiration. As you may have seen I was not only inspired by the winter trees picture but also by the snowflakes! I couldn't resist using the One of a Kind Dies  (snowflake) for this card! A fun new die that has the detailed snowflake as well as the outline. For this card I only used the detailed die. I used Fluid Watercolor Paper and ink smooshed the paper onto  Bubble Bath Ink onto my Silicone Craft Sheet. After it dried I die cut and then added Versamark Ink and Silver Embossing Powder to some of the edges.  

I used the Unbounded Love Stamp Set for the sentiment and also silver embossed. For the edge of the Basic White Cardstock I swiped the paper onto the Versamark Pad and then added more silver embossing powder. Under the snowflakes I pulled apart retired silver ribbon and added a few Rhinestones Basic Jewels. The Bubble Bath Cardstock layer is embossed with the Forever Plaid Embossing Folder, has to be my favorite of all time! 

Thanks again for joining me, I have one more card to share tomorrow so I hope you come back! 

Peace and Joy

 

Happy Halloween! Are you surprised or frightened to see the Forever Forest Dies again? 3rd day in a row! This card is similar to the one I created on Tuesday. I will link it here. I used Blending Brushes again for the background and flicked White Ink with a Water Painter. I die cut the mountains and then ink smooshed color. After it dried I used a Water Painter to add color to areas that I wanted to make darker. Then I used the Versamark Ink Pad and White Heat Embossed to create the appearance of snow. For the trees I ink smooshed several different greens onto Fluid Watercolor Paper and then after it dried, die cut and again used Versamark Ink and White Heat Embossed. I love the Joyful Sayings Mix and Match Ephemera Pack, so many wonderful holiday greetings so that is what I used for the sentiment. 

I realize now that the cards from the last few days have had almost all the same elements. Do you ever start to play with something and then so many ideas pop into your head? I guess the Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge really inspired me! I hope it does the same for you!

Let it Snow

 

I am back with another idea that I hope inspires you to create! This card was created from inspiration from the Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge from yesterday. I love the Forever Forest Dies! The trees come in so many sizes and I am really having fun with them. I started with a piece of Fluid Watercolor Paper and then smooshed ink on to the Silicone Craft Sheet. ( I like using this cause clean up is easy) I let it dry and then die cut the large trees. I used Versamark Ink and White Heat Embossed the "snow" after the ink had dried. 

I like the soft combo of Balmy Blue Cardstock and Pool Party! I used the So Swirly Embossing Folder on the Pool Party Cardstock and swiped the White Ink Pad across to soften the color even more. For the circle I used 2 of the Spotlight On Nature Dies to create the circle frame. I finished it off with a sentiment from the Joyful Sayings Mix and Match Ephmera Pack and a few Neutral Adhesive-Backed Sequins. Thanks for stopping by today! Come on back tomorrow and see another card!

Hand Stamped Sentiments #450

 

Hello! Time for some winter inspiration on the Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge. I absolutely love the pictures from this and I was so inspired that I will have a few more cards to share in the next couple of days so make sure to stop back and see. Let me know which one you like the best! When I see an inspiration challenge I really like to recreate one of the pictures. For this card I used the Forever Forest Dies. I started with my Blending Brushes and created a beautiful snowy scene leaving a lighter area in the middle. I created a few hills by cutting Basic White Cardstock and then added a light blend of color with Blending Brushes again. To create the trees I die cut with Fluid Watercolor Paper and then smooshed color on to them. After they dried completely, I added a little Versamark Ink and White Heat Embossed them to look like snow. I used the smallest trees negative to create the trees in the far distance with a Blending Brush and a Night Of Navy Ink.

The greeting is from the Joyful Sayings Mix and Match Ephemera Pack. I hope you are inspired to create today! Have a great time and I can't wait to see what you share!

Filled with Joy!

Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge #449

 

Hello! So excited to share my idea for the new Hand Stamped Sentiment Sketch Challenge! This is a fun one! I am really excited to see what you create! I used the Cutest Onesie Bundle for the main focus of my card. I started by stamping with Versamark Ink Pad and White Heat Embossing it on Fluid Watercolor Paper and then used a Water Painter and Flirty Flamingo Ink Refill to watercolor. I also white heat embossed the sentiment on Basic Black Cardstock while I had my Heat Tool out. I cut apart the sentiment for the rectangle shapes in the sketch.

I just recently ordered the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder and couldn't wait to use it. It is so awesome! It is a must have from the new Holiday Catalog!  I cut out the hanger from the Cutest Onesie Dies with Basic White Cardstock and also the vines from the Unbounded Love Dies. I thought they would be something fun to hang the hanger on. I finished it with a Linen Thread bow and a few Iridescent Basic Pearls. 

Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you join the fun and give this sketch a try! 

Bird with Birdhouse

 

The other day when I created the Country Birdhouse I die cut so many pieces and created a few birdhouses that I can now make cards with. For this card I used Country Woods DSP again. I also Gold Heat Embossed the bird and swag from the Winterly Tree Tops Bundle. I used a Water Painter and ink refills to color and then used the dies to cut out. This card came together very quickly. I hope it inspires you to do a lot of die cutting and then create! 

Have a wonderful and blessed day!

Country Birdhouse

 

I love the Country Birdhouse Bundle and the Country Woods DSP. Together they make the quickest cards! It is also so fun to mix and match the paper. It is also similar to playing paper dolls but with a birdhouse, many pieces to die cut and then put them all together. I had a lot of fun creating this card. I also used the Timber 3D Embossing Folder to add a little texture to the birdhouse.  I stamped the flowers with Memento Ink so I could color them with Stampin' Blends.

Have a wonderful day!
