Christmas Pinecones and Ornaments

 Hello everyone!  I have a Christmas in July card with some pinecones and ornaments today.

I had this image of of Christmas ornaments hanging from a pine branch with pine cones in it with a kind of wood grain background on my mind, that was the inspiration for this card. I started by embossing a piece of 5 x 7 card stock with Craftwell - Woodgrain Cottage embossing folder and inked the raised edges with a light brown ink. Then I die cut all the pieces on my Craftwell SNAP. I used the Greetery - Botanicuts Pine Bough die set to die cut the pine cones on brown card stock. For the pine boughs, I used Spellbinders - Susan's Garden - Evergreen Foliage die set on light green card stock. I used my Copic markers to add some shading to the pine boughs. I used the Memory Box - Snowflake Ornament to die cut the ornaments. I used the Your Next Stamp - Merry Christmas die to cut the sentiment. Now it was just a matter of arranging the die cuts. I used liquid glue to adhere all of the die cuts. 

For the inside of the card, stamped a simple sentiment in black and stamped some pine bough and some berry branches from The Ton - Outline Holiday Cones in gold ink. This card is easy to make in batches, I made 20 of them. 

I loved how this turned out. Please let me know your thoughts and comments. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day!

GIU Day 1 - Hello Sunflowers

 Hello everyone! Welcome to my blog. Hope you all had a great weekend. This week, I am so excited to take part in Growing In Unity. I've done this a few times, few years back, so you might have seen this already. This week, I will be showcasing different Unity stamps in my cards.

Here's y Day 1 card using Hello Gorgeous stamp set.

I started by stamping the image with Ink on 3 Fadeout ink for no-line coloring and colored it with Copics. I took a piece of brown card stock and embossed it with Craftwell - Woodgrain Cottage embossing folder and smooshed some dark brown ink on it. I stamped the sentiment on a piece of white card stock, cut it out and mated with brown card stock. I adhered all the layers to a top folding A2 card base and added some enamel dots from Altenew.

Blue Flowers

 Hello everyone!! I'm on the Craftwell blog today with a lovely card with blue flowers.

I used the Climber Flowers die set from Altenew to die cut the flowers and leaves. I die cut them on white card stock and colored them with alcohol markers. It's easy to assemble by looking at the layering guide. Once I had the flowers and leaves all assembled, I took a white card base and used the Woven Stencil from Altenew to add a bit of a pattern to the card base. I arranged the flowers and leaves in the way I wanted and adhered them down. For the sentiment, I used the Fancy Hello die, again from Altenew, in black.

Pink And Coral Flowers

Hello everyone! I'm on the Craftwell blog today, with a beautiful, summery floral card.

I used the Altenew 3D Embossing Folders on my Craftwell Cut N Boss for this card. You might have seen me using some of these before too. I used the Decorative Florals 3D Embossing Folder to emboss the beautiful florals on a oval die cut. Then I used my alcohol markers to color the embossed image. It's really easier to achieve this no-line coloring look on these embossed florals than it looks. For the background, I embossed a coral card stock with Illusion Triangles, also from Altenew. The sentiment is die cut using Altenew - Fancy Thanks die on my SNAP. I also decided to make a matching envelope by embossing the lower part of the envelope with the same embossing folder.

Meadow Flowers

 Hello everyone!! I'm on the Craftwell blog today, with another floral card. 

From my recent purchase at Technique Tuesday, I got this Meadow Flowers stamp set. I loved coloring it with Copics. For the background, I embossed a piece of coral card stock with Altenew Geo Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder, after spraying water on it. I used my Craftwell Cut N Boss for embossing. I get perfect results with 3D embossing folders all the time. I die cut the image with one of the old Divinity Design dies and adhered it on to the embossed panel.

Pink Embossed Flowers

 Hello everyone!! I'm back with a Copic colored 3D embossed flower using one of Altenew's 3D Embossing Folders.

I used the color scheme from the current Altenew Inspiration Challenge. I used the Book Engravings 3D Embossing Folder to emboss a white card stock. Spraying the cardstock with a bit of water first helped get a detailed embossing. I used my Craftwell Cut N Boss to do the embossing. I colored the image with Copic markers. The sentiment is from the Fresh Freesia stamp set.

Calla Lilies

Hello everyone! I'm on the Craftwell blog today with a elegant floral card. 

I love these Calla Lilies from Heartfelt Creations. I have had them for quite some time now. I stamped and die cut the flowers and leaves and colored them with inks. Then I used my flower shaping tools to give them some definition. I colored few Q tips with yellow ink for the center part of the calla lilies. To assemble them, I used hot glue gun. I also stamped and die cut some fillers from Heartfelt Creations - Tulip Vase & Fillers. For the card base, I used a 5x7 Ivory card base. I die cut few frames from the Heartfelt Creations - Royal Elegance Frames on gold card stock. The sentiment is from Just Rite stamps. This is one of my favorite sets for sentiments, mainly because of the font. I also die cut a few designs from Heartfelt Creations - Swirly Accent Spray and added them to the card.

Simple Thanks

 Hello everyone!! I'm on the Craftwell blog today with a simple card that can be made in batches.

It's nearing the end of school year and I've been experimenting with quick and elegant cards to give to the teachers as sets. This is on of the designs. I used the Crafters Companion Victoriana die for this card. For the sentiment, I chose the Altenew Fancy Hello, which pairs so elegantly with the Victoriana die. I used my SNAP to die cut them. It's pretty simple to die cut and assemble the card. I could die cut all at once and then assemble them. That would be pretty quick and easy I think.

Bumble Bee Birthday

 Hello everyone!! I'm on the Craftwell blog today, with this shaped card.

I made a hexagon shaped card for my son's 1st birthday. We decided to do a bumble bee theme for his first birthday. I love making the banner and decor for my kids birthdays, this one was no exception. I made this birthday card and tag to go with his gift. I used the Create and Craft Hexagon dies to cut the shaped card. The bumble bee and the other hexagonal lace piece are dies from Spellbinders. I die cut all of these on my SNAP. The sentiment is from Inspired By Stamping. I added a few drops of Nuvo in black. Here's a close up of the card:

The tag uses similar elements, it's just smaller in size.

Here are a few pics of the decor and the cake that I made, from the day.
