[Happy Thoughts] Simon Says Stamp January 2022 Card Kit #1

  Hey everyone! I finally got the January 2022 Card Kit for Simon Says Stamp and it is filled with winter goodness! The weather here in Minnesota is in the negatives which means I am staying put indoors right in my craft room until Spring comes around! I used the patterned paper included in the kit as a background and used Distress Oxide in "Broken China" to do a little ink blending on the top. I stamped a snowman and tree and colored in with alcohol markers and fussy cut it out. I tore some white cardstock for a snow effect and added some shimmer Nuvo drop in clear to give the glistening snow effect! After embossing the sentiment, I embellished with some enamel dots.  I entered this card in the following challenges: WWC331 - Marsha's Special 3-Week "Anything Goes" Challenge Creative Inspiration: December Ellibelle's Crafty Wednesday - December Challenge Craft Sentiments Challenge- AG TTCRD: Anything Goes Challenge December 7th 2021 Tuesday Morning Sketches ...

[Vintage Baubles] Holiday Card

 This was my first time using a background stamp, believe it or not! I used the "Vintage Baubles" background stamp from Catherine Pooler and my trust MISTI to get a crisp black outline. I decided to gold emboss a few additional ornaments and color them with alcohol markers to make them really pop! I cut the sentiment out with my Cricut and added some gold washi and sequins as embellishments! Thanks for stopping by! Follow me on Instagram for more cards, reels and crafty fun!

[Peaceful Wishes] Thinking of you

  I finally got to dig in my Waffleflower haul from last month. I used the  Stencil n Stamp: Lighthouse  for this lovely card. I inkblended the background using distress oxides and then stenciled the silhouette using black oxide ink. I stamped a little foliage in the bottom as well as the sentiment. I embellished with some washi tape and some black splatters. Thanks for stopping by! Follow me on  Instagram  for more cards, reels and crafty fun! Jill

[Santa Puppy Hat] DT: The Crafter's Cafe Challenge Blog #

Hey everyone! We have another lovely challenge at  The Crafter's Cafe Challenge Blog ! The theme for this challenge is "Use some of your favorites"  sponsored by  Sheepski Designs  and  Scribbles Designs I recently have LOVED using my distress Oxides and I used the "Holiday Stripes" stencil to create this striped background. I  tend to reach for my distress oxides over other stamp inks recently.  I colored in the image using alcohol markers (which is also another one of my favorite materials!). I used a white gel pen to add some accents! I hand wrote the sentiment on some black cardstock that I thought was really fun and appropriate :)!

[Dino-mite Birthday Boy] DT: The Crafter's Cafe Challenge Blog

  Hey everyone! Today I am sharing my DT project for  The Crafter's Cafe Challenge Blog . The theme is "Anything Goes" sponsored by  My Besties Shop .  Head on over to the blog and join the fun! Leave a comment if you submit a card, I'd love to see your entry!  This stamp,  My Besties Tiny Supersaurus INO -Mite Birthday Bo y , is so much fun! Perfect for a kid's card-which if you don't know by now, I am ALWAYS looking for fitting images for them. I colored in this image using my Spectrum Noir markers and cut out a semi circle shape. I ink blended the background with distress ink and decided to turn the sentiment into a shaker element. I mixed a colorful jumble of sequins to the shaker to add to the fun kid effect :)  Thanks for stopping by! Follow me on  Instagram  for more cards, reels and crafty fun! Jill
