Cocktails & Facebook

Hey Crafty Friends - 

Today I am showcasing a few fun background stamps, Pretty Line Florals and Falling Checks paired with the Cocktails and Facebook stamp set. 

To create this background I used 3 Distress Oxides to create an Ombre effect and stamped the Pretty Line Florals. If you like these colors they were tumbled glass, peacock feathers and mermaid lagoon. 

Here is a second card I created using the Falling Checks background stamp. This card I wanted to focus on pinks and gold. I used kitsch flamingo, worn lipstick and picked raspberry distress oxide. Again looking to create an ombre effect 

 

I stamped the image in black directly on the background. The cocktail was stamped a second time and the image colored with alcohol markers. I fussy cut out the cocktail and used 3D foam tape to pop it up. I randomly added two black dots to the squares.

Pumpkin Spice

Deb here with a Thanksgiving Day post celebrating my love of Pumpkin Spice. I wanted to share one of my favorite Technique Junkie stamps before Fall ends and Winter officially begins.. The Pumpkin Spice stamp is so much fun to create with .. I used mini ink pads and some highlighting tape - along with my MISTI - to create my colorful cards .. 

• I adhered patterned papers from the Newton's Nook "Autumn" paper pad to kraft card bases.
  
• The Pumpkin Spice image was stamped on cream cardstock with Memento Dew Drop Mini ink pads -  Rich Cocoa, Cottage Ivy, Morocco and Peanut Brittle . I covered the leaves and pumpkin with highlighter tape to stamp the sentiment . 
• My Mini Dew Drop ink pads were then perfect for stamping the other areas in different colors.
• I matted the top stamped panel with a dark green cardstock and used an etched square die on the other .
• A brown plaid strip of paper was placed across the center of the patterned paper on the top card . A green plaid border was adhered along the top of the other stamped panel.
• The stamped panels were placed using  foam tabs .
• I placed some autumn colored rhinestones on the patterned paper on the bottom card .

Happy Winter Wishes

                                 Happy Winter Wishes

Grab your glitter card stock and snowflakes and have fun creating this pretty winter themed card!

I used the recently released Cozy Cottage plus one of my go-to stamp sets called Happy Winter Wishes to create this fast 5 x 7 card.

Pull out your snowflake punches or grab some snowflake stickers to give this card the finishing touches.  To me, this card was too simple looking when I started putting the layers together so I offset the cozy cottage piece and added 7 snowflakes. Some were punched and the large white ones were stickers leftover from last year.  Use what you have in your stash to embellish!

Wolf Pack

 Hello!  (Chris Here)

Black Friday is just a few days away.  I think I'd rather be thrown to the wolves than go out shopping that day.  Yikes!  I'm not a shopper or a morning person so  I will be sleeping my turkey hangover off! 

When I saw this wolf, my jaw dropped.  It is so hard to find realistic stamps of animals.   Don't get me wrong, I love whimsy and goofy!  It is also nice t have realistic designs as well.   I think this style lends itself well to creating masculine cards.     I paired the wolf with this encouragement sentiment.  

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your friends and families!

Happy 50th Anniversary

\

I had so much fun making this anniversary card using Oak Relief and Simple Sentiments 1a. I stamped the image in versamark and embossed it in copper. I then set about watercoloring. I matted the image with copper metallic card stock.

I made this for my SIL's 50th wedding anniversary. I had to wait until post anniversary to post it!

They were pretty tickled.
