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!

Party Time Happy Birthday by Angie Cimbalo

Hello and welcome, it's Angie here today with a fun birthday card using products from the new January release.  Here's a closer look at my card:

I used the new EF1048 Party Time 3D embossing folder and dies set (I didn't use the dies) along with the coordinating 88633 Party Time stencils to creat my background.  I used 3 inks, pink, yellow and teal.  Once embossed and stenciled, I cut it down slightly more than 1/2 inch on the top and the side, matted it on a black panel cut to 5" X 3.75."  The Happy Birthday Celebration Script die 94866 was cut from both black for the shadow, and cut the words from an inked panel (using the same 3 colors of ink.)

After gluing the sentiment together, I popped it up on foam dots for dimension.  Here's one last look at my card:

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Happy Birthday Presents by Angie Cimbalo

Hello and welcome, it's Angie here with a fun quick winter birthday card!  Here's a closer look at the background:

To create the background I took a piece of "Pool Party" cardstock and used the "Falling Snowflakes Stencil" (88627) with clear embossing paste.  The paste when dried just looks slighly darker than the paper, but to accent that I added a little white ink on top of the panel.  Next I trimmed 1/2 inch off the panel so the plaid would show through.

I added the panel to a panel of "Nutmeg Plaid 6x6 pack" (PP1033) then added both of those to my card front.  I cut the "Pretty Presents craft die" (94761) from white and "Cranberry Paper Pack" (SH44014) and pieced them together.  I arranged them on the card front and added a "Happy Birthday Foil Greetings White Circle Tab" (ST010).

Here's one last look:

I hope you enjoyed this quick and easy birthday card and can use the ideas to create a card for someone you know with a winter birthday!  And here's wishing you a Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas Card by Donna Sledzik

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. 

Green and Red inks were used to stencil a white cardstock panel.  Next, I spattered the background with white inks and adhered it to a red cardstock mat.  This was glued to a white card base.

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.

That's it for today!  I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas with Holly Wreath by Angie Cimbalo

Hello and welcome, it's Angie here today with a foiled card using the wreath stencil from the latest release.

First, I got all my supplies ready:

1. Use the Duo transfer gel on the rectangle die cut and set the panel off to dry for at least one hour, then
2. Be careful, the dried gel is very sticky and you can get anything stuck to it!
3. Using a foiling machine (I use a mini Minc machine, you can also use a laminator.) run it through the machine shiny side up.  I used a emerald watercolor foil from Deco Foil.
4. Wait for it to cool off and then peel off foil to reveal your pretty foiled wreath
5. Glue wreath panel to plaid panel  
6. Glue plaid panel to card base
7. Glue sentiment circle to gold circle 
8. Glue or pop up circle sentiment to center

Here's one last look at my card:

I hope you like this version of the Holly Wreath stencil.  Stencils are so versatile, you can do so many things with them and they come a such a inexpensive price point.  Check out all my posts this month featuring ways to use stencils in your cardmaking journey!  Thanks for stopping by!

Merry Christmas & 3D Stenciling by Angie Cimbalo

Hello and welcome, it's Angie here today with a card featuring 2 of the newest stencils from the holiday releases.

First I gathered my supplies for the card, and then I took the 

1. Using the holly stencil on the light blue card stock panel with long part of stencil, in blend dark blue with a ink blending tool.  (Faded Jeans or Chipped Sapphire - Distress OR Distress Oxide)
2. Using a heat tool, dry the ink really good
3. Now move the stencil up and to the right every so slightly (like 1/8” or less) and ink with white pigment ink.  Make sure you don’t use too much white ink or it will pool up in edges of leaves.  If you want more white ink, you will need to dry it in between layers and just add more white.  Dry your panel good.
4. Using the starlight stencil add versamark ink with ink blender through the stencil
5. Add gold embossing powder and heat emboss
6. Add panels to the card - blue on the left and white with gold stars on the right
7. Glue the gold strip in between the two panels (on top of them or however you like)
8. Glue the circles together toward the left of each circle for a interesting look

It's a realy cool look when you move the stencil over and go over the dark ink with white - it actually looks like it's 3D embossed!  I hope you will give this stencil technique a try - it's so fun.  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Merry Christmas Sparkling Holly by Angie Cimbalo

Hello and welcome, it's Angie here today with a fun easy sparkly holiday card featuring the new holly stencil!

First I got all my supplies ready:



Here's the side of the stencil I used with the sparkle paste:

Now here's how I made this card:

1)  Using the stencil on the purple strip of paper, add sparkle paste (I used Cosmic Shimmer Ultra Sparkle Paste) through the stencil and set it off to the side to dry.  (It takes about one hour if you don't put it on too thick, or you can let it dry overnight.)

2)  Once it's dried, you can add it to your A2 card base.

3)  Take the two die cut pieces from the Merry Christmas die and add them together with glue.  I cut the silver from Memory Box Mirror Cardstock and the purple from the same piece of paper I used to stencil.

4)  Lastly add a thin strip of the silver paper on the edge of the stenciled panel in the center of the card.

And there you have it!  Quick and easy and or so sparkly!

I hope you like my card for today, it was so much fun to create.  Be sure to check out all the new goodies from Memory Box.

Thanks for stopping by!

Peace Love and Joy by Angie Cimbalo

Hello and welcome, it's Angie here with a wintery holiday card featuring products from the latest Yuletide and Winter Days releases.  Here's an up close look at my card:

As you can see it has a lot going on, first the background is a tan piece of card stock, lightly inked in Gathered Twigs Distress Ink using the new "Narrow Tree Trunks Stencil Set" (88630) and then I used the new rub-ons called "Snowflake" to create a snowy background.  I then stamped the sentiment with Versafine Clair Pine Cone ink.  Here's an even closer look:

I cut the Snowy Log (94821) from dark brown card stock and then also from white for the snow and from Memory Box Kraft Woodgrain paper to be able to create the layers.  I inked the kraft paper with more Distress ink and then glued the 3 pieces together.  Next I worked on the 2 birds, "Wistful Sparrow" (94798) and "Sunlight Sparrow" (94837), cutting the dies from white card stock and coloring them with alcohol markers and gluing the pieces together.  Next I cut "Pine Branches" (94817) from dark green cardstock from the "Leafy" paper pack (SP1011).

I added the pine needles to the left side, popped the log up on foam tape at the bottom and popped both birds on top of the log.   To create more interested I added lots of white paint pen for more snow and some highlights, plus I added sparkle paste to the snow and around the card in different places.  I wish you could see it in real life, it's so sparkly.  

Here's one last look:

I hope you like my card for today, I had a lot of fun creating it!  Be sure to come back each day to see more inspiration from the team.  Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting!

Snowy Birdhouse Bird Bunch by Trina Pham

 

Hello everyone.  I have a snowy scene Christmas card to share today featuring several products from the current 2024 Winter Days release.  

 

A subtle background was created with the stencil monoprint technique using the middle stencil from Narrow Tree Trunks stencil set.  Applied Weathered Wood and Stormy Sky distress inks (DI) direct-to-stencil, spritzed it with water then flipped it over onto watercolor paper.  Blot excess water with a paper towel.

The birds and birdhouse were then die cut from white paper and ink blended with various dye inks using blending brushes.  Did a search for winter birds to help with colors.  Added eyes to them with a black marker.  The red in the birdhouse was die cut from the new Cranberry paper.  These new papers are absolutely beautiful, btw.  And for some sparkle, the snow on the roof was die cut from white glitter paper.

Drew a wire line with a black marker.  Adhered the elements onto the panel to create the scene and splattered with diluted white gouache paint for falling snow.  Mounted the panel onto a white card base and finished with a greeting from Holiday Wishes Foil Greetings White Tabs.

That does it for my card.  Thank you for joining me today.  Have a wonderful weekend.

A Frame House with Narrow Tree Trunks Stencils by Angie Cimbalo

Hello and welcome, it's Angie here today featuring beautiful new products from the latest "Winter Days" release!

 

I used the new "Narrow Tree Trunks" 3 stencil set with these Distress Inks with an ink blending tool on stencil: 

Tea Dye, Rusty Hinge, and then "Soft Brown" ink from my stash. 

 

After removing the stencil I inked background bottom with Iced Spruce Distress Ink and the top with Salty Ocean, very, very lightly on both top and bottom.  

 

Now to add dimension to the trees I added colored pencil and white paint pen details on the stenciled area and the background.  Here's a closer look: 

 

I cut the "A Frame House" die set from white card stock, and cut the "Little Bird Bunch" from red and white card stock.  I colored the A frame edge with the same brown inks, then added Iced Spruce to the house front, direct ink pad to paper method.  I colored all the other piece with inks and colored pencils, but cut the door front from red card stock.  I also added pencil and white gel pen to the red door too.



I assembled the birds and house and added colored pencils and white paint pen to everything.  I used Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide on the wreath pieces before putting them together.  I popped up the birds and house.  Lastly I added snow details with a white paint pen, Cosmic Shimmer Fluffy Stuff (heated with heat gun) and then painted on Cosmic Shimmer Frosty Ultra Sparkle Paste with a small paint brush on the edges of the A frame. 

 

Once everything dried, I added the card to an A2 gray panel and then added that to a white card base.  Lastly I added the White Tab sentiment.

I hope you like my card for today!  The new release is big and there are so many beautiful products
