Merry Christmas Slimline

Good morning my lovely crafters! Today I am over on the SugarPea Designs Blog with my latest card. This time I decided to create a Christmas slimline card but using non traditional Christmas colours...

I started off by creating my blended background using Seedless Preserves, Kitsch Flamingo & Dried Marigold Distress Oxide Inks. I then splattered the background with shimmer spray and white ink. Once dry I added white snow hill to the bottom of the panel. I used the Merry Christmas from the SugarPea Designs Oh So Jolly Sentiments Stamp Set and stamped it directly onto the panel. I used the SugarPea Designs Hey Winter Stamp Set for all my images. I stamped them, coloured them with Copics and cut them out. I arranged all the images on the card and fixed them in place with foam pads. To finish I added a few pearls to the sky.


Supplies;
SugarPea Designs Stamps - Hey Winter, Oh So Jolly Sentiments
Distress Oxide Inks - Seedless Preserves, Kitsch Flamingo, Dried Marigold

Hello, it's time for my latest card for SugarPea Designs. I love the bear stamps as you may know so I couldn't resist making another one for Christmas. This one would also work for a winter birthday too...

Holly Jolly Bear

Good morning! Today I am sharing my latest card for SugarPea Designs. This one is actually made for the Challenge Inspiration for Mix It Up Challenge 84 and this months challenge features a sketch and colour combo. I mixed it up a little bit to create this fun winter card...

For this card I used the SugarPea Designs Hey Winter Stamp Set. I started off by creating a blended background using some grey and beige ink. I then added some splatters of brown, grey and white ink with a little water. I cut out some snow hills, added a little blue ink to the top and sprayed both pieces this shimmer spray. I then mounted the panel onto blue card and added it onto a card base. I stamped all my images and coloured them with Copics. I didn't have the matching dies for this set so I cut out each of the images and added them with foam pads. I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set, layered it onto card and fixed in place. To finish I cut out a banner shape and added some gems onto it.

Hello fellow crafty friends. Today I am starting off with some fabulous news. Following my GDT at SugarPea Designs they asked me to stay on and join the Design Team, of course I said yes!

I blended some Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide Ink then added more over the top of the Sunburst Stencil. I blended some Tea Dye & Gathered Twigs Distress Oxide onto a shaped piece of white card. I then splattered the piece with the same inks and attached it onto the bottom of my background panel. I stamped and layered the sentiment and added all the images with foam pads.

Thankful Pandas

Hello! I'm back with my final GDT card for July for SugarPea Designs. For this card I decided to go with a clean and simple style to show off the super cute images.

I added a few water spots with a paintbrush and blotted off the excess. I cut three pieces of card into thin fishtail strips. I doodled some stripes on one of the pieces to create a faux patterned paper. I then glued them on top of each other on the card. I used the Pandamonium Stamp Set to create the cute pandas and flowers. I stamped then coloured each of the images with copic pens and cut them out. I attached them all onto the card with foam pads. To finish I simply stamped a sentiment from the same stamp set and fixed it in place on the card.

I die cut the thanks word from lilac and white card using the Thanks Word Die. I layered the pieces together and attached in place with foam pads. I used the Hey Spring Stamp Set (totally one of my favourite sets!) and stamped all the images in memento black ink. I coloured in each of the images with copic pens and fussy cut them out. I arranged them in place on the card and attached them with foam pads. To finish I stamped the sentiment (from the same stamp set) using lilac ink and fixed it onto the card with foam pads.

Merry & Bright Snowflakes

Hello crafty friends. Today I am sharing another simple festive make from my Emboss Resist project in Crafts Beautiful...

I love how easy these are to create and even though they are simple they still look effective - well better in real life anyway! So for this card I used MFT Serene Snowflakes Stamps. I stamped them randomly using Versamark Ink. I used Brutus Monroe Alablaster White embossing powder over the top and heat set it. I then gently blended Picked Raspberry & Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Ink  over the top until it created a simple fade out. I stamped my Merry & Bright sentiment from my Sugar Pea Designs Oh So Jolly Stamp Set. I die cut this using M&C Stitched Circle Dies. I added a strip of silver glitter paper and added some Little Things Bubble Embellishments to finish.

Happy Bee Day

Hello crafty friends! Today I am sharing a cute card that I made some time ago for Let's Make Cards Magazine. Sometimes I don't get around to sharing all my creations then I find them and think oohh I must blog this! This was part of my aperture project...

For this card I used Sugar Pea Designs Hey Honey Stamps and Die Set. I decided rather than stamp and colour the bear image, I would stamp onto kraft card. The bees are from the same stamp set and inked in yellow and black. The papers are a digi download from Pink Petticoat. I have had these honeycomb papers for years and I still often use them now - perfect for bee cards! I created the window using some Tonic Plain Circle Dies. The letters to spell bee day are Lawn Fawn Oliver's Stitched ABC's Dies and I printed out the happy sentiment.

Sugar Pea Dies - Hey Honey
Lawn Fawn Dies - Oliver's Stitched ABC's
