Happy Birthday Card by Donna Sledzik

Happy Thursday everyone!  I have another Birthday card for you today using products from the new 2024 Birthday Wishes release.

I began by ink blending a panel of white cardstock and embossing it with the Party Time 3D embossing folder.  You want to make sure the the images are debossed on the inked side.

Next I used a small brayer to apply gold ink over the entire panel.  The gold ink alone did not make the background colors pop, so I used black ink and applied it over the gold ink. When it dried it had a light black metallic color.

I adhered the background to a turquoise cardstock mat and glued it to a white card base.

I die cut the shadow for the sentiment with black cardstock and the words from gold metallic cardstock.  I glued the words to the black shadow die and used foam tape to adhere it to the card.

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

Thank You Card by Donna Sledzik

Hello everyone!  I have a fun card for you today featuring the new Breezy Bouquet Stamp set.  What's great about this stamp set is that it has a coordinating die, stencil and 3D embossing folder that all work together.

I began by stamping the floral image with black ink onto white cardstock.  Next, I used the layering stencils to color in the images, die cut it with the coordinating die and then embossed the die cut image using the 3D embossing folder.

I die cut the Bubble Dots background from white cardstock and adhered it to another white cardstock panel.  This was glued to a gold metallic cardstock mat and adhered to a white card base.

The sentiment was stamped with Versa Mark Ink, gold heat embossed and die cut with the coordinating die.  Foam tape was used to adhere it to the card.

To finish the card, I applied Gold Nuvo Drops to the centers of the flowers.

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

Hello everyone!  Today I have a quick and easy Christmas card for you.

I used the Holly and Branches stencil to create a quick background for my card.

The sentiment was die cut from red and white cardstock and adhered to the card.

To finish the card I added some clear Fairy Drops to add a little bling.

Merry & Bright by Donna Sledzik

Good morning everyone!  Today I have a small square Christmas card for you. 

To create the card, I started by embossing a kraft cardstock panel using the Pinecones and Berries 3D embossing folder.  Next, I lightly rubbed across the embossed images using a gold metallic ink pad.  I adhered this to a white card base.

On a smaller kraft cardstock panel I applied white ink through the Falling Snowflake Stencil.  I spattered the panel with white ink and adhered it to a white cardstock mat.  I used foam tape to glue it to the card.

I die cut the Petite Poinsettias from red and green cardstock and assembled them as shown on package.  The centers of the poinsettias were die cut from gold metallic cardstock and glued to the flower.  I added a few metallic gems to give the flowers some dimension.

To finish the card, I glued a foil greeting in bottom left hand corner of the card.

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

A Cute Christmas Tag by Donna Sledzik

Hi everyone!  Today I have a cute tag featuring the Stitchable Mitten Die and other products from the 2024 Winter and Yuletide release.

I die cut the mitten twice from patterned paper and glued them together.  The mitten cuff was die cut from white cardstock and glued to the top of the mitten.  I used a white gel pen to add faux stiches around the mitten. 

I die cut the Snowman and Pine Branches from white cardstock and used Rustic Wilderness and Festive Berries Distress Inks to add color to them.  I assembled the snowman and added white stripes to the scarf using a white gel pen.  I glued a white pom pom to his hat and black gems for his buttons.  I used a pink colored pencil to add some color to the cheeks.

The pine branches were glued in place on the mitten and the snowman was adhered with foam tape on top of the branches.

I glued the foil banner to the mitten and added a piece of bakers twine for the tie.

Note: This could also be used as an ornament for your tree.

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

Merry Christmas Card by Donna Sledzik

Hello everyone!  Today I have another Christmas card for you featuring products from the 2024 Yuletide and Winter release.

I started by cutting a panel of plaid patterned paper and gluing a thin gold strip of metallic cardstock to each end of the paper.  Next, I adhered it to a white card base.

The pine branches were die cut from green cardstock and inked with Forest Moss distress ink to give them a darker color.

The pinecones were die cut from white cardstock and inked with Expresso and Gathered Twigs distress inks.  I glued the pinecone outlines to the shadow backgrounds to form the pinecones.

The branches from the Festive Holly die set were die cut from gold metallic cardstock.

To assemble the card, I glued the 2 large pine branches onto the card.  Next, I glued the large pinecone in place and used foam tape to adhere the small pinecone.

I glued the smaller pine branches in place and the tucked in some of the gold branches.

The background was spattered with gold ink and the Merry Christmas foil banner was adhered to the card front.

To finish the card, I added a twine bow with red bells tied to it.  

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

Merry Christmas Tag by Donna Sledzik

Happy Thursday everyone!  Today I have a cute gift tag featuring products from the 2024 Winter and Yuletide release.

I began by die cutting the second largest Fringed Scallop die 3 times from white cardstock.  Then I placed the next size down scallop die onto one of the die cuts and ran it through my die cutting machine.  This made a frame to go over the other die cut.

I used Navy dye ink and covered the plain scallop die cut.  Next, I placed the snowflake stencil on top of the paper and misted it lightly with plain water.  Using a paper towel, I blotted over the stencil before removing it from the cardstock.  This removes some of the ink from the cardstock and gives a soft look to the background.  

From the 3rd scallop die cut, I hand cut a hill line and glued this to the bottom of the snowflake background.  The die cut frame was glued on top of it.

I die cut the goose from white cardstock and used Distress Inks to color in the pieces.  Once the goose was colored I glued all the pieces together.  I used a white gel pen to add some dots to the scarf.

Next, I die cut the trees from green cardstock and glued them in place on the tag.

The goose was adhered to the tag using foam tape.

Next I spattered the tag with white ink.

The sentiment was white heat embossed on red cardstock, die cut using the coordinating die, and adhered to the tag with foam tape. 

I added some white texture paste under the goose and the trees to give it some texture.  I sprinkled glitter on the paste while it was still wet.

To finish the tag, I added a ribbon and some twine to the top of the tag.

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

Merry Christmas by Donna Sledzik

Hello everyone!  Today's card uses up scraps of patterned paper that I know we all have.

I began by covering a panel of white cardstock with double sided tape.  Next, I cut strips of scrap paper to 1/4" wide.  I laid out the strips of paper on my desk to get the right color combination.

 

I peeled the backing off the adhesive and adhered my paper strips at an angel across the whole card panel.  I trimmed all the excess paper from the cardstock, placed it in the Pinecones and Berries 3D embossing folder, then ran it through my die cut machine.

Next, I took a Gold pigment ink pad and lightly rubbed over the embossed images, sprinkled clear embossing powder over the paper and heat embossed it.  I repeated this step using Black Archival ink and then spattered it with white ink.

I glued the card front to a white cardstock mat and then a gold cardstock mat. This was adhered to a white card base.

The shadow from the Merry Christmas die was cut from gold metallic paper and the words from white cardstock.  I glued the words to the gold shadow die cut and used foam tape to adhere it to the card.

To finish the card, I added some gold pearls and that's it!

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

Boo to You Card by Donna Sledzik

Good morning everyone!  Today I have another Halloween card for you featuring some new Fall products.

I began by ink blending a white cardstock panel using Distress inks, and embossing it with the new Spiral Delight 3D embossing folder.  I lightly rubbed across the embossed panel with a black ink pad.  Next I spattered the background with plain water and orange paint.  When this was dry I adhered the background to a white card base.

I die cut a piece of white cardstock with the Vintage Tray Frame die and used 3 of the cutouts from the frame.

I masked around the outside edge of the blocks with Gina K's Masking Magic 1/8" strips.  

I used the same color Distress Inks that I used for the background to fill in the blocks.  Before I removed the masking strips I spattered the backgrounds with white ink.

Colors used: Carved Pumpkin, Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, Wilted Violet, Gathered Twigs and Black Soot (these colors were also used for the die cut images).

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

I glued the orange block to the card and adhered the ghosts to the block.  I did the same with the spider block.  I used foam tape to adhere the pumpkin block to the card.

The words "Boo to You" were die cut from orange cardstock and glued to a black cardstock shadow die cut.  I used foam tape to adhere it to the card.

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