Hi everyone! Thanks for stopping by my blog! Today I am sharing an interactive card featuring the Holiday Mansion stamp set, HM Garden  stamp set from  Art Impressions , and EZ-Lights from Pear Blossom Press ! This project is featured on the  Art Impressions  blog today, check it out  here ! First I ink blended a rainbow sunset background using Blueprint Sketch, Wilted Violet, Picked Raspberry, and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide inks. I used pigment black ink to stamp a sentiment on top of the sunset background. Next, I die cut the grass borders and the wooden fence and used them to create the outdoor scene. I used Copic markers to color the holiday mansion and the garden accessories. I used the V20's series to color the house. I used the steps below to make the windows illuminate. I finished the card by placing the garden accessories throughout the scene.  How I create a light up card: Color the image, use an X-Acto Knife (or dies) to cut out the areas on the image where you w

Hi everyone! I just wanted to create a quick little post to share all the supplies I used in my  Kindred Stamps  Facebook Live session. You can check out the FB Live video in the  Kindred Stamps Fan Club   here ! To create this card I layered black and lime green cardstock to add some dimension to the card base. On the top layer I used Cracked Pistachio and Lucky Clover Distress Oxide ink with the  Smoke Stencil  to create a rising smoke design.  I stamped and colored the mean witch with Copic Sketch markers. The colors I used are listed below. Since the mean witch is wearing a black cloak I used a vellum to create separation between the card background and the character. I used a  Stitched Circle die  to die cut the vellum and I used white pigment ink to blend the  Spiderweb Stencil  design onto the vellum.  To finish the card I heat embossed the sentiment "How do you like them apples?" with silver embossing powder. I added red and silver sequins for additional embellishmen

Hi everyone! Today I am sharing my creation for the  Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #92  - Outstanding Occasions. This challenge closes on January 17th. For more details on my creation keep reading below. For the focus of this challenge I used the A Little Sparkle stamp set where two unicorns are celebrating their big day! To create the fantasy background I used the ink smooshing technique with Picked Raspberry, Worn Lipstick, Carved Pumpkin, and Dried Marigold Distress inks on a Puffy Cloud Backdrop die cut. I used foam tape to add more dimension to the cloud background and to prop up the unicorns from the background.  I heat embossed the sentiment with gold embossing powder onto a white sentiment strip and distressed the edges with Worn Lipstick Distress ink. Next I heat embossing gold stars onto the card background. Finally, I used gold metallic paint to ink splatter onto the fantasy background for some extra sparkle! Thanks for stopping by my blog! Hope you enjoy this card. I love tryin

Hi everyone! Thanks for stopping by my blog! Today I am sharing my first  Art Impressions  creations for the new year! Now that the holidays are over, how long does it take for your family to take down the seasonal decorations? My card features the Holiday Mansion stamp set and the HM Accessory set. This holiday house is still rockin' its festive decor! This project is featured on the  Art Impressions  blog today, check it out  here ! I used four layers to create the card background. For the top layer I die cut a stitched scalloped rectangle from a bright blue piece of solid cardstock. I used the Blizzard stencil with Mermaid Lagoon oxide ink to decorate the solid cardstock. For the second layer I used a retired striped stencil with Mermaid Lagoon and Broken Glass oxide inks. For the final two layers I matted the striped cardstock with gold foil cardstock and red cardstock. I wrapped the four layers together with satin red ribbon and then added a bow!  This house is covered in h

Hi everyone! It's the first of the month therefore it's another  i-Crafter  release! Today I am showcasing the new Cherry Blossom Box die set. This product is perfect for household decor or a even a gift box! Make sure to check out the other new products on the  i-Crafter  website  here ! First I die cut the 5 sides and the hexagon base from pink and white polka dotted paper. I used my scoring tool to score the folds on the side panels. The  Cherry Blossom Box  comes with a wide selection of decorating dies but I decided to make all of my panels look the same with the geometric windows.  Next I used rose gold paint from Prima Semi-Watercolor Metallic Pastel Accents  to add detail to the top petals and to create a splatter effect on the sides of the box. I used metallic pink from the same paint set to give the vellum in the side windows I shimmery tint. I used double sided tear tape to attach the vellum to the side panels. I also used the tape to glue the side panels together a

 Hi everyone! Thanks for stopping by my blog! Today I am sharing another card for the  Art Impressions  Reasons for the Season Challenge. For more details on this challenge check out the announcement  here . This projects features the Animal Nativity stamp set which showcases Baby Jesus as the Reason for the Season! This project is featured on the  Art Impressions  blog today, check it out  here ! I used two different shades of wood grain paper and some ink blending to create the barn themed background. I used Mustard Seed, Fossilized Amber, and Rusty Hinge Distress Oxide ink to create the hay-covered colored floor. I used Vintage Photo distress ink to create an ink splattering effect on the ink blended cardstock. I used a stitched slimline die to create the smaller layer on the front of the card.  I colored all of the images with my Copic Sketch markers. I used Warm grays to color the sheep and the donkey, E40's for the bunnys, E30's for the camel, and E50's for the cow.

Thanks for stopping by my blog! Today I am sharing a holiday card I made with non-holiday themed stamps! This card features the Cheeky A+ stamp set from The Greeting Farm and all I have to say is Santa isn't the only one with a list... To create the card background I stamped the Holiday Words Background stamp with red ink onto kraft card stock. I cut the background with stitched rectangle scallop die, distressed the edges with Vintage Photo distress ink, and matted it onto another piece of kraft cardstock. I used the same stitched rectangle scallop to die cut the sentiment strip from red cardstock. I heat embossed the sentiment from the Christmas Plushies stamp set with white embossing powder. As I mentioned previously, the girl is from the  Cheeky A+  stamp set. I colored her with Copic markers to look like a cheeky Mrs. Claus. The presents and gift bags are from the Unicorn Bday Anya set and the Let's Pawty set. The colors I used are listed below. To finish the card I u
