Christmas

Hello! Kim here with a fun Christmas card using this Piccolo Floral Christmas tree. I used the Piccolo Embossing Powder Adhesive to adhere the Aged White and Shamrock Dreams enamel to the tree. I then used a fine tip clear glue to adhere the red microfine glitter to the flowers. To speed up the drying process on the glitter I used a heat gun. 

A Winter Wonderland Delight

Josette here with another card creation.  I love snowmen, they are right at the top of my list.  Whenever I see a snowman image or stamp, I need it.  Needless to say, I have more snowman images than flower images, and that is saying a lot.

For this card I used Snowman Duo from the Sweet Stamp collection,.  They were colored twith Copic Markers  and embellished with glitter.  Cute.

This is an A-2 Card.  Using Black Momento ink they were stamped onto a white card base.  Colored and then embellished with a bit of Wink of Stella-Clear.  

This was  cut down to 3.75 " X 5".  A mat was cut from a green paper that matched the clothing and measures 4" X 5.25 inches.  They were adhered without any dimension. 

The snow bank was cut from a piece of thin card stock that had been covered with score tape.  Glitz glitter was burnished into the adhesive.  Actually the glitter was added prior to cutting.  Merry was created the same way using red glitter and score tape. The last step was adding a ribbon. 

Sweet and flat enough for mailing.  

Thank you for stopping by,

Happy Crafting

Pretty Tree Piccolo | Enamel Powder

Good Morning crafty peeps!!  Britt Bass here from Pink Paper Crowns!

I'm here today bringing you a pretty little shaker card using a beautiful range of products from the Piccolo line.

When I first saw this pretty floral tree image I knew I wanted to use the Piccolo Enamel Powders to add color and dimension to the shape.

I used the Piccolo Embossing Powder Adhesive and covered the entire outside edge and several of the flowers with the adhesive liquid.  I applied Shamrock Dreams Enamel Powder and heat set it.  I repeated that method with Mardi Gras Enamel Powder and Copper Kettle Enamel Powder to cover the rest of the tree.  I finished the tree with dots of metallic pearl paint around the edges - and set it aside to dry.

I die cut an A2 sized frame out of brown glitter cardstock and layered in on top of the soft brown snowflake paper.  After the tree was completely dry, I used it to trace a window in the middle of the snowflake paper, cut it out and fit the tree into the window.

I attached clear transparency to the back of the piece, making sure to cover all the little openings in the tree, and then used foam adhesive to create a well for my shaker.  

I filled the shaker with brown seed beads from my stash and Sugar Beads from the Sweet Stamps store.  (I wish I had used a few sequins or confetti to make the shaker a little more obvious, but there's always next time!)  Lastly, I adhered the whole front piece to an A2 cardbase and added a brown satin bow!

I had SUCH fun working with these products and I can't wait to break out my Piccolos again!  Take a look at the Sweet Stamps store for tons of pretty and intricate shapes like this!

Have a wonderful weekend queenies!

Later!

'Tis the Season | Mr. & Mrs. Snow!

Hello sweet people!

Britt Bass here and I'm so excited to bring you my first official post as a DT sweetie for Sweet Stamps!

I saw these little pair of Snow People and just KNEW it would make an excellent "snow globe" shaker card!

First I stamped Mr. & Mrs. Snow DUO with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with my Spectrum Noir Alcohol markers.  I used Distress Ink in Stormy Skies to add a winter-y blue sky above the happy couple and then added stars, highlights and fun details with a white gel pen.

I die cut a large circle in a 6x6 sheet of Christmas tree paper (from my stash) with a Circle Die and then used the same die and a slightly larger scallop circle die to create a frame with green cardstock.

I assembled my shaker with a piece of acetate and filled it with a mixture of Sugar Sand, Clear Glass Micro Beads, and some blue micro beads (from my stash).  I didn't add any sequins or larger pieces because I wanted it to look like a snow bank the swishes from side to side as it shakes!  I finished the card with a layered sticker from my stash!

Thanks for taking a look!

Wee Willie w/ Candle

Good morning and happy Saturday!!

I (Calypso) am here to share a card I made using, all new goodies that I received in my last order form SweetStamps.

I have been seeing all the cool and wintery backgrounds being made using the distress inks and I just had to get on the wagon and try it.  For the my card today, I pulled out the following distress ink pads:  Chipped Sapphire, Faded Jeans, Stormy Sky and Tumbled Glass and for the ground Antique Linen and Walnut Stain.  I know that the card does not look like it has all those colors, but trust me iI did!!  :) 

Once I colored the background,  I used White Dye ink to stamp Tiny Snowflake Border three times.  

I really did like how it looked, but I wanted to add a little something.  That little something was the Christmas Star stamp.   After coloring Wee Willie w/ Candle, I proceed to some fussy cutting therapy!!  LOL

I added extra white detail to the star.  To add a little more glow around the star, I dabbed my finger into the white dye ink and rubbed gently.  I did this several times, until I achieved my dissed look.

 For Wee Willie I used the following  Copic markers:E49,47, 44, 11, 00, 000, R59, 46, 37, 35
