[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...

[Hello Beautiful] Patterned Paper Series #1

I first gravitated towards a solid cardstock as my mounting base but then decided to have some fun with patterned cardstock. I have lots of patterns but find myself being too afraid to mix and match patterns. Hence, explaining the origin of  my "Patterned Paper Series." I colored in the digital image using alcohol markers on white cardstock. I had a patterned paperpad from Recollections called "Get Glam" and used one of the "hello beautiful" sentiments that was already printed on the paper. I attached it with some foam squares to give a little added dimension. Easy right?! I mounted it on a hot pink cardstock and then mounted the whole set on a white and black polka dot cardstock from the same paperpad. Not only do I love using patterned paper as a background, but I also like using it fo...

[Good Luck Critters Rainbow] Time for Tea Designs

Hey all! I'm here sharing another card featuring the Time for Tea Designs "Good Luck Critters" stampset. I first used the "Rounded Rectangle" die set to cut one panel in white cardstock and one in red. I ink blended the white cardstock with "Tumbled Glass" Distress Oxide around the edges. I added some blue splatters for added interest. I cut in the rainbow and cat image from the stampset and colored in with alcohol markers and finished it off with a sentiment Thanks for stopping by!
