Halloween Greetings by Donna Sledzik

Hello everyone!  Today's card features new products from the 2024 Fall Cornucopia release.  The ghost dies are so cute that I had to use them for my card.

I started by ink blending a panel of white cardstock using Distress Inks.  Once the ink was dry, I spattered the background with white ink.

Next, I die cut the ghosts from white cardstock and glued a scrap of black cardstock on the back of the ghosts for the eye color.  I glued all the ghosts to the background panel and trimmed any ghosts that were hanging over the edge of the paper.

I used foam tape to adhere it to a white card base.

I white heat embossed the sentiment on black cardstock, die cut it with the coordinating die, and glued it to the card using foam tape.

I love the fall season and can't wait to make more cards from this new release!

Have a great day!

Joy to You and Yours by Donna Sledzik

Hello everyone!  Today's card features a new stamp from the Yuletide release.  I love to color in stamped images, and this is a perfect stamp to do just that.

I stamped the image twice on a white cardstock panel and used Prisma Color Pencils to color in the images.  Once the coloring was done, I lightly inked around the edge of the panel with Antique Linen Distress ink and spattered it with gold ink.  I mounted the panel to a black cardstock mat and used foam tape to adhere it to a white card base.

The word "joy" was die cut from red cardstock and glued to a white shadow die cut.  I used foam tape to adhere it to the card.  

I stamped the sentiment with Versa Fine Ink, white heat embossed it and glued it underneath the word joy.

That's it for today!  Have a great week!

Merry Christmas Card by Donna Sledzik

Happy Thursday everyone!  Today I have another non-traditional color combination for my Christmas card.  

I started by embossing a pink cardstock panel using the new Pinecones and Berries 3D embossing folder.  Next, I lightly rubbed over the embossed image with a white ink pad to bring out the embossed images.  I used foam tape to adhere this panel to a white card base.

I die cut the pinecones, pine branches and berries from colored cardstock and arranged them on the card.  I used foam tape to glue the pinecones to the card.

I spattered the card with white ink and used a white gel pen to add some highlights to the berries.

To finish the card, I glued a Merry Christmas sentiment strip to the card.

That's it for today!  Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

Merry Christmas Card by Donna Sledzik

Hello everyone!  Today I have another Christmas card for you featuring the new Yuletide collection. 

I started by using the Winter Knit 3D embossing folder to dry emboss a white cardstock panel.

Next, I die cut the Vertical Line Collage from pink cardstock and glued this to the white embossed card panel.  I adhered the panel to a white cardstock mat and used foam tape to glue it to a red card base.

The pine and holly leaves were die cut from green cardstock and inked with Peeled Paint Distress Ink.  The berries were die cut from red cardstock and Aged Mahogany Distress Ink was added to the edges of the berries.

I spattered the holly leaves, berries and pine branches with white ink and adhered them to the card.

To finish the card, I glued a sentiment strip to the card front.  

That's it for today!  Have a great day everyone!

Joy Card by Donna Sledzik

Happy Thursday everyone!  My card today features the fabulous products from the new 2024 Yuletide release.  I was inspired by this non-traditional color palette that I have been seeing on Pinterest.  I love all the postage cards that I have seen online and thought of a way to adapt the Memory Box Dies to give a similar look.

I started by die cutting the 2 smallest dies from the Fringed Scalloped Die from white cardstock.  I cut the larger of the dies twice from white cardstock, the smaller one once from white cardstock and then altered the larger die cuts by placing then back in the die to create different sizes.

Next, I taped around each die cut to leave a white border around the edges and blended a light coat of ink in the center of the die cuts.

I die cut the second largest shape from the Fringed Scalloped die set and lightly applied pink ink over the Falling Snowflake Stencil to create the background.

I 3D embossed a piece of pink cardstock using the Pinecones and Berries embossing folder and adhered it to a white card base.  The stenciled background was glued on top of the pink panel.

I die cut the snowman, holly leaves and snowflakes from white cardstock and used a blending brush and distress inks to add color to the die cuts.

Snowman hat and scarf: Candied Apple

Snowman edges: Tumbled Glass

Snowman nose: Carved Pumpkin

Holly Leaves and Pine needles: Mowed lawn

Holly Berries: Candied apple

Next,  I assembled the snowman and glued him to one of the block die cuts and used foam tape to adhere him to the card.  I did the same with the snowflakes and holly blocks.

I tucked in and glued the pine needles in place behind the blocks.

The word "Joy" was die cut from red cardstock and glued to the white cardstock shadow die cut.  I used foam tape to adhere it to the card.

To finish the card, I glued red fairy crystals to the center of the snowflakes.

Have a great day!  Thanks for stopping by.

Christmas in July Card by Donna Sledzik

Hello everyone!  I couldn't let July pass, without making a Christmas in July card.

I started by die cutting the Aurora Snowflake Frame from white cardstock and glued it to a white cardstock panel.  I cut a piece of green plaid patterned cardstock and glued it to the bottom portion of the panel. Next, I adhered the panel to a gold metallic cardstock mat, and glued it to a white card base.

I die cut the Glorious Poinsettia from white cardstock and used Distress inks and a blending brush to add color to the die cuts. The leaves were die cut twice from white cardstock and Distress ink was also used to add color to them.  I glued the poinsettia together and used foam tape to adhere it to the card.  The leaves were tucked under the poinsettia and glued in place.

The words "Merry Christmas" were stamped with Versa Mark Ink onto red cardstock, gold heat embossed and die cut with the coordinating die.  These were glued to the card front.

To finish it off, I glued some gold embellishments to add a little bling to the card.

That's it for today!  Thanks for stopping by!

Butterfly Hugs Card by Donna Sledzik

Hello everyone!  Today's card features new products from the 2024 Fuchsia release.

I started by cutting a piece of plaid cardstock which is smaller than the size of an A2 card base and glued it to my white card base.  I cut a thin strip of gold foil paper and glued that to the top of the plaid paper and spattered the top of the card with gold ink.

The butterfly and leaves were die cut from white cardstock and colored with Distress Inks.

Butterfly: Picked Raspberry, Carved Pumpkin and Mustard Seed

Leaves: Peeled Paint

Butterfly Body: Black Soot

The leaves were glued in place on the card front and the butterfly was adhered using foam tape.

To finish the card, I stamped the word "hugs" with Versa Mark Ink, gold heat embossed it, and die cut it with the coordinating die.  I used foam tape to adhere it to the card.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Hello Card by Donna Sledzik

Hello everyone!  I thought I would do a patriotic card today since July 4th is tomorrow.

I started by die cutting the Vertical Line Collage twice on a white cardstock panel.  Next, I glued it to a red cardstock mat and adhered it to a white card base.

The butterflies were die cut from white cardstock and colored with blue dye ink.  The butterfly bodies were die cut from black cardstock.  I glued the butterflies together and used foam tape to adhere them to the card.

The word Hello was die cut from black cardstock and the shadow from white cardstock.  I used foam tape to adhere it to the card.

To finish the card, I glued some clear fairy drops to add a little shine.

Have a great July 4th!

Bugs and Butterfly Card by Donna Sledzik

Hello everyone!  For today's card I wanted to use the new Brilliant Beetles die set, so I thought the Vintage Tray Die and 3D Embossing Folder would be a great background for my card.

I started by die cutting the Vintage Tray Frame once from gold foil paper and 3 times from white cardstock.  I placed the gold foil frame into the Vintage Tray 3D embossing folder and ran it through my die cutting machine to add some texture to the frame.  Next, I stacked and glued all the frames together ending with the gold foil one.

Next, I embossed a piece of white cardstock using the same 3D embossing folder.  I used Tumbled Glass Distress Ink and a blending brush to add some color to the background.  I used gold and black ink to spatter the background.

The frame was glued to the embossed background and adhered to a black cardstock mat.  This was glued to a white cardstock card base.

All the beetles and the butterfly were die cut from white cardstock and colored with Distress Inks. 

I used foam squares to adhere them to the card.  

To finish the card, I adhered the Happy Birthday Foil Greeting to the last opening in the frame.

That's it for today!  Thanks for stopping by!

Thank You Card by Donna Sledzik

Hello everyone!  Today's card is quick and easy which uses new products from the 2024 Fuchsia release.

I began by ink blending on a white cardstock panel, using Tumbled Glass, Broken China, Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn Distress Inks.  I spattered the panel with plain water and gold ink.

I used the shadow die from the "Thank You Breezy Script" die set, and die cut it in the middle of the inked panel.  Next, I die cut the Pinpoint Leaf Plate on a larger white cardstock panel, and used foam tape to adhere the inked background to it.

The words "Thank You" were die cut from gold metallic cardstock and glued to the card in the center of the shadow die cut.

The butterfly was die cut from white cardstock and inked with Mustard Seed and Twisted Citron Distress inks.  The body was inked with a black marker.  I used foam tape to adhere it to the card.

I added some clear fairy drops to add a little shine to the card.

That's it for today!  I hope you have a great day!
