Cardinal on the Window

 Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog! Today I have a tag for Christmas gifts.

I used all supplies from Honey Bee Stamps to make this tag. The cardinal is from the Lovely Layers: Winter Birds die set. I die cut in different shades of red and layered them. The rest of the dies are from Lovely Layers: Seasonal frame. I love this window frame and wanted to make a tag with it. I added gold stickles for the poinsettia center. The sentiment is from Inspired by Stamping - Poinsettia stamp set. I fussy cut the sentiment. I added a golden thread to the tag.

Pinecone Wreath Ornament

 Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog. Today I have Christmas card to share with you!

A week or so back, I took out some of my supplies (stamps and dies) that I haven't used at all or haven't used in a long time and put it on my craft table, hoping to get some inspiration to use them. I love this Hero Arts - Pinecone Wreath stamp, but I wasn't really sure how to use it. I had a few die cuts of the outer ornament part of the Hero Arts - Snowflake Ornament die cut lying around on my table. Deeing that, I thought of making an ornament with this wreath stamped in the center. Initially, I wanted to do a no-line coloring with Copics and stamped the image with Fadeout ink. Then I thought it would be better to use the leaves as is without coloring, so I stamped the image again with Memento green ink. Now the pine cones are also green, but I was able to color on top of it with Copics. I used brown shades to colors the pine cones. Then I ink blended the edges with the same green ink. The sentiment is from an Inspired By Stamping - Poinsettia stamp set, which I heat embossed in gold. For the background, I used Altenew - Deck Planks 3D Embossing Folder. I die cut an ivy vine from Spellbinders - Susan's garden die set.

Lifetime of Love

 Hello everyone! I have a quick and easy 'watercolored' card today.

I used the Inspired By Stamping - Love Sentiments stamp set to make this card. Even though Inspired By Stamping is closed, Joanna has some of the stamp sets on Etsy. This techniques is something Joanna had shared long time back. I stamped the leaves and flowers with distress ink on watercolor card stock and used a wet brush and some more inks to create the watercolored look. Finally added the sentiment from the same stamp set.

Wisteria Wishes

Hello everyone!! Recently, I bought a few Technique Tuesday Garden club stamps after eyeing them for quite a while. Their florals are simple and stunning! I decided to color the Cascading Flowers with my copic markers, for a no line coloring.

I stamped the wisteria image with Ink on 3 Fadeout ink and colored the image with copics. I then die cut it with Inspired By Stamping Label dies. I embossed a piece of brown card stock with Altenew Deck Planks 3D embossing folder and inked the raised edges with brown ink. I stamped the sentiment from Inspired By Stamping on the floral panel and added it on to the embossed panel.

Daisies Hugs

Hello everyone!! Welcome back to my blog. Today, I have a water-colored card to share with you.

 I stamped the flowers from Inspired By Stamping: Asters stamp set with black ink and water colored them with Chromatek pens. I love these pens and I find that I'm using them quite often now. I used the colors from the Altenew Inspiration Challenge. For the sentiment, I die cut the Hello using the Altenew Fancy Hello die on black card stock.

Birthday Roses

 Hello everyone!! I'm on the Craftwell blog today, sharing this beautiful birthday card with 3D flowers:

As you might already know, I'm a big fan of Heartfelt Creations flower dies. For these flowers and buds, I used the Tulip Time dies. This die set even has a die for the stalk of the flower. I shaped the flowers with flower shaping tools and used hot glue gun to adhere the layers of the flowers and buds. It makes a difference. I cut a few leaves using the leaf die from the Delicate Asters die set. The beautiful decorative piece on the right, in pink and white is cut using the Decorative Medallion die set, also from HFC. I was so surprised when I was able to cut such a delicate intricate piece in 1 pass on my SNAP machine!! Just amazing!! I arranged the flowers the way I wanted them to be and added some white pollen to the spray. The sentiment is from Inspired By Stamping - Summer Bouquet.

Peace, Joy And Love

Hello everyone!! It's been a while since I colored Joanna 's images. So I decided to color this Wreath image that I had.

I took a printout of the Christmas Wreath digital stamp on white card stock with lighter lines for no-line coloring. I colored the image with Copics. Then I heat embossed the sentiment Peace, Joy & Love from one of the older Inspired By Stamping stamp set, with Gilded embossing powder. I matted the panel with Red card stock and adhered it on to an A2 card base.

Mr & Mrs

Hello everyone!! Today for the Brutus Monroe blog hop, we have the popular Anything Goes theme! Here's what I made for today!

I took a piece of white card stock and blended the Honeysuckle ink over the Elegant egg stencil (which is the current stencil of the month) over the lower half of the card stock. I stamped and embossed the sentiment Mr. & Mrs. from the Rose Border stamp set with Pearl Embossing Powder (which is the current Embossing Powder of the month). Then I die cut it with the label die from Designs By Joanna and blended the Honeysuckle while the die cut is still on the die. That gives a beautiful white border around the blended color. I wrapped a ribbon (from Designs by Joanna) around the card stock and added a bow. I adhered the sentiment label with foam tape. I inked the edges of a card base with Honeysuckle ink and adhered the card panel on to it with glue. I added a few drops of Nuvo drops on it.

Here's the hop order for today:

Snowflake Wonder

Hello everyone! First of all, wish you all a very Merry Christmas. Hope you all have a lovely Christmas filled with wonderful memories. I have a simple Christmas card to share with you all today.

I decided to try another card with the Snowflakes stamp set. I took a piece of white cardstock of size 4" x 5.25" and stamped the snowflakes from the Snowflake Wonder stamp set using various shades of blue. I inked the edges of the card base with Distress Ink Broken China. I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set, die cut it with a die from the Fancy Labels 2 die set and inked it with the Broken China ink while it's still in the die. That creates a beautiful white border around the inked sentiment. I added some ribbon and a bow from the Blue Ribbon Collection. I love how this has turned out.

Peace, Joy & Love

Hello everyone! How are you today? I have a beautiful Christmas card using Inspired By Stamping Poinsettias.

Ever since I bought the Poinsettias stamp set, I've been itching to use this. I stamped the red part using distredd ink fired brick and the green part using the crushed olive ink and watercolored the images using black soot and fired brick for red and peeled paint and crushed olives for the green. For the background, I used black soot ink. After coloring the images and the background, I gold embossed the center of the poinsettia and the sentiment. I adhered this panel on to a top folding A2 card base with Brutus Monroe glue.

You'll be surprised to know that this card was inspired by a door mat that I saw in one of the club stores. Ha! You never know where and how inspiration strikes you!

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day.

Blue Snowflakes

Hello everyone! How are you today? I have a simple thin and tall card using Inspired By Stamping Snowflakes.

I decided to try this thin and tall card that will fit into the regular postal envelope. I used 1 sheet of 8.5" x 11" card stock for this card. I cut the sheet into 8.5" x  7.5" and folded it into half to make the card base. I took the remaining piece of cardstock and stamped the snowflakes from the Snowflake Wonder stamp set using various shades of blue. I inked the edges of the card base with Distress Ink Broken China. I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set, die cut it with a die from the Fancy Labels 2 die set and inked it with the Broken China ink while it's still in the die. That creates a beautiful white border around the inked sentiment. I added some ribbon and a bow from the Blue Ribbon Collection. I love how this has turned out. I sent this card to my friends at Blitsy and they loved it too!
