I love making holiday tags! The Sunny studio Build-a-Tag 1 Snippets Dies made these so fun and easy to make! I started by die cutting all of my tag elements from some Neena Solar White and the Heroic Halftone Paper Pad by Sunny Studio for the tops and bottoms of each tag.

I stamped all of my images from the Happy Owlidays set and coloured them in with Copic markers and I used the accompanying dies. I then added some snowflakes and my sentiment to two of the tags and then did some ink blending with Salty Ocean, Cracked Pistachio and Twisted Citron Distress Inks on my tag bases.

I put all of my elements together on top of the tags using a mix of foam tape and glue.

I added the tag circle in coordinating colors all paper by Tonic for the circles. I added some twine to the tags and some snowflakes and hearts to the green tag.

Merry Christmas with Whimsy Stamp

Happy Tuesday! Sharing a Christmas card today featuring the sweets Whimsy Stamp set called Ellie Christmas.

I love the Ellie series by Whimsy Stamps, that face is the sweetest! I started by stamping her on my Neena Solar White panel and colored her in with my Copic markers. I then colored in the "snow" hill with some grey markers.

I added the embossed snowflakes from the Simon Says Stamp Comfort stamp set and my sentiment  before adding my Iced Spruce ink to the top sides of the panel. Once that was complete I sprayed my panel lightly with my Distress Sprayer.

Once that was dry, I added some snowflakes using the same Iced Spruce Oxide Ink.  To finish off, I added some Simon Says Stamp unicorn glitter to the hat, some Tonic glitter drops to the bell, ornaments and star.  I also added Glossy Accents to the lights. To finish off, I added some red candy hearts.

Thankful for you!

 Happy Friday! Sharing a quick fall themed card today featuring Simon Says Stamp Brand Exclusive products.

We should always be thankful, but fall is the time of year where we tend to reflect and be more focused on thanks. So, I guess that's what inspired this card.  

I started by ink blending with my Stencil of Bouquet of Roses using Lawn Fawn Guava and Cilantro Inks.  I used PostIt tape to ensure that I ink blended the flowers and the leaves properly.  I then cleaned my stencil and placed it over the the panel and used Tonic Glitter paste to give it some bling and added texture.

While I waited for it to dry, I die cut my sentiment from Tonic Gold Cardstock and Guava Cardstock (shadow in gold and the word die in Guava).  I gold embossed my secondary sentiment.

Once my panel was dry I added my sentiments with some foam tape placed it on a card base at an angle fro added interest.  I added a mix of Pretty Pink Posh Watermelon sequins and some Iridescent Bubbles in the centres. To finish off, I added some Trinity Coffee Bean Hearts!

You Couldn't Be More Awesome!

Happy Tuesday! Had some time to play in my craft room this weekend. I ordered the Cosmos Stem Die from the Simon Says Stamp Believe in You release and I couldn't wait to play with it!

I Copic coloured my blooms in more fall like colors.  I decided to pair them with the Eucalyptus leaves from the STAMPtember release using gold Tonic specialty paper.

I then die cut my Neena Solar White panel using my Mama Elephant Cloud Nine die and added some Seedless Preserves Oxide Ink with an Altenew Stencil in the upper right on my panel. I let it dry and then stamp and gold embossed the sentiment from the gorgeous stamp set in the October Simon Says Stamp Card Kit.

I placed my flowers and leaves with some foam tape for dimension. To finish off, I added variety of sequins and some jewels to the centres.  I also added some Tonic gold glitter Nuvo drops to the flower centres.

Simon Says Stamp: Cheer and Joy Release!

Happy Simon Says Stamp Exclusive brand Release Day! Cheer and Joy is live in the shop now :)

I had such fun getting my holiday card stash started with the new Grace Snowflake!

For my first card, I started by die cutting my snowflake from a mix of cardstocks in pool themed colors.  I then took my falling snow stencil and ink blended some Sea Glass ink and went over it with Glitter paste. I set it aside to dry.

I chose the older but always fun Season's Greetings die from Simon Says Stamp designed by Kristina Werner and die cut that from Silky Sky cardstock by Tonic.

I cut my panel slightly to add my pattern paper to the side of the card base. I placed my die cuts on the panel and then foam mounted the panel to the card base. I added some jewels to the snowflakes.

For the second card, I also die cut the snowflake and sentiment from a mix of specialty cardstocks in blush/Rose Gold and red cardstocks.  I then used the Simon Says Stamp Poinsettia background stamp and some Festive Berries Oxide Ink to stamp it on my Kraft Cardstock. I placed all of my die cuts to the panel with foam tape.

I finished off with some red and rose gold sequins and some rose gold dots to the centres on the background.

My first Christmas card of the season! Every year I try and get started early but the Holiday mojo just isn't available yet, lol! I had fun with this one, I love the Neat and Tangled Critters from the Santa's Wonderland set.

I started by stamping my images and colouring them with my Copics. I used the accompanying dies  and set them aside to work on my base panel.

I started by ink blending my "snow" hills using my MFT stencil. I then chose the Honey Bee tree stencil and lightly blended some Hickory Smoke Distress Ink. Once that was done, I used my Simon Says Stamp snow fall stencil and went over the "sky" portion. 

Once the inks dried, I stamp and embossed my sentiment using Ranger red glitter embossing powder. I added some Simon Says Stamp Unicorn Dust to the snow drifts, trees and to a few images.  I added my critters with foam tape and finished off with a few Sparkling Clear sequins.
