[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:

[Oceans of Joy] Multi-Occasion Card

I am still building my cardmaking collection, and it is SO easy to get into the blackhole of buying endless craft supplies. I really need to stop myself. I came across this adorable ocean themed stamp set,  Oceans of Joy , from Sunny Studio Stamps! Head on over to my Instagram to see a reel on how I made this card!     I wanted to create a fun wavey background so I took some scrap cardstock and cut a "wave" pattern and used it as my stencil with a blending sponge and my Stampin' Up spot inks. I LOVE how it turned out. I wanted to add more texture so I purposefully blended with differing pressures to get some texture in the background. I can't wait to make and use more stencils in my cardmaking. I stamped the sentiment, whale, crab, and water images using my misty on some textured white cardstock and colored in using my Prismacolor colored pencils. In hindsight, I wish I had used a smooth white cardstock instead, as it makes the coloring look a little messier than I...

Lime All Yours

Hey all! I'm here sharing today's card with  Time for Tea Designs! I used the Squeeze the Day stampset to create this citrus filled card!  To create this card, I first took an A2 white panel and stamped the row of citrus fruits in yellow, orange, and green in an alternating pattern. This will be our background. Next, I stamped three citrus wedges (I decided to make mine limes) and one circle citrus. I colored them in various shades of green and yellow-green to resemble limes. After coloring and diecutting these out, I placed them on the left side of the panel with foam tape for dimension. I stamped the sentiment with white embossing powder on a black cardstock for contrast. This is my favorite way to show sentiments (if you can't tell already!) Lastly I added some dots of yellow and green on the left for some added interest. Thanks for stopping by! Jill

Adult Sippy Cup: Pajama Crafter Stamps

Hey all! Happy Wednesday! I'm shaking things up today with a shaker card using the  Adult Sippy Cup  die from Pajama Crafter Stamps. First, I did some "ink smooshing" on the background to create a watercolor, marbled look. I then topped off the card with sentiments from the " Chuggin On " stampset.  Thanks for stopping by! Jill
