Crafty Festival Christmas Club September 2020 Blog Hop

-

Hey everybody! It's the 25th, so you know what that means, it's the Crafty Festival Christmas Club blog hop! Each month we share a little bit of holiday inspiration with this hop. Instead of forcing yourself to make a bunch of holiday cards at the last minute, it spaces the work throughout the year.  Check out the Crafty Festival Facebook page for more information on the Christmas Club blog hop and their other blog hops here. 

For this month I made an advent calendar set instead of a card. 

This set is super easy to create and its made with some basic supplies! To decorate the White Treat Bags I used a retired striped stencil with Stormy Sky Distress Oxide ink to ink blend the background. I cut the designed numbers from a piece of scrapbook paper included in the Crystal Blues paper pad from Michaels. For decoration I added Christmas themed gold foil die cuts using the Christmas Mini dies from Art Impressions. These advent calendar treat bags are so simple!
Thank you for stopping by my blog today. Make sure to check back next month for more holiday inspiration. Be sure to hop along with us today for even more festive creations!

KS August 2020 Release - Costume Crew

Thanks for stopping by my blog! It's the  Kindred Stamps Release Week for August 2020! Today I am sharing a sneak peek of the 4" x 6" Costumed Crew stamp set. This stamp set will be available on Friday, August 28th at 8 AM PST. 
This set inspired so many projects for me!  I made 5 cards and a set of treatboxes. I colored all of the characters with my Copic Sketch alcohol markers. At the bottom of this blog post I included a coloring guide for these characters. Check back later this week for more sneak peeks.
Project 1For my first project I wanted to make a card featuring all of the animals from the stamp set. For this card I created a scene where the characters were out trick-or-treating in the neighborhood. 
First I masked off the bottom portion of the card front for the road and sidewalk. Then I ink blended the night sky with some Distress Oxide inks. Next, I ink blended the sidewalk section and a stitched circle with Pumice Stone Oxide ink. I stamped the sentiment on the…

Hi everyone! Today I am sharing my creation for Art Impressions Scenic Route Challenge. For more information on this challenge check out the announcement here. For my project, I made a slimline slider card featuring the Bus Cubbies stamp set. Scroll to the bottom of this blog post to see the current challenge rules. This project is featured on the Art Impressions blog today, check it out here. My interpretation of the "scenic route" includes long car rides throughout the country side! I used white, black, and green cardstock with The Great Outdoors Borders & Builders die set from Trinity Stamps to build the road, grass, fence, and hillside. I used Tumbled Glass Oxide ink to ink blend the sky background. I used a white gel pen to add the clouds and the floral details onto the hillside. I stamped the sentiment in Versafine black ink. I used the Spin & Slide Channels Die-namics from My Favorite Things to create the slider mechanism. I colored the bus and the critters wi…

i-Crafter Icy Snowflakes

Hi everyone! Today I am sharing a winter themed card design featuring the new Snowflake Bursts die set from i-Crafter. This card is also featured on the i-Crafter blog today, check it out here. This card is super easy to make and super easy to replicate! First, I ink blended a scrap piece of cardstock with Distress Oxide inks to create an icy ombre blend. Next, I die cut the larger snowflake burst and the "warm wishes" sentiment from ink blended cardstock. The "warm wishes" sentiment die is from the Flip Card, Snowflake die set. To create the card background I used my Tumbled Glass ink to shade a light blue background onto a piece of white cardstock.  I only put a light covering of ink in the areas that would be covered by the snowflake die. I used a metallic mint-colored paint to create an ink splattering effect. I used a fine tip liquid adhesive to glue down the sentiment and the snowflakes to the background. Finally, to finish the card I matted the background ont…
