Happy Christmas

Donna K here with you today sharing my Happy Christmas card.

I decided a red, white and snowflake theme was perfect for our

cool weather in NC...no snow...YET and that's ok with me!

I prefer paper snowflakes, they are much warmer.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Enjoy your Tuesday.

Share a little Love

Hello there. Teresa from MaggieGraceCreates here, bringing up the end of a week of the Lovely Layers challenge. 

It has suddenly turned cold in the southern USA, but until this weekend it has been a beautiful fall. This is my favorite time of the year and my card drew inspiration from the lovely fall color. 

I used the Fancy Leaf Sweetcuts Die and cut several assorted fall color pieces. To my card base I added a favorite piece of embossed paper slightly offset from the center of the card. Along the edge of the embossed paper, I started with my Leaves and simply adhered them in place with a tiny bit of Glastique just below the leaf area, leaving the leaves loose. I cut some of these in reverse so that my leaves twisted and turned both directions. After these dried, I bent and curled the layers of leaves and added a tiny little textured yarn bow.


I also used the Mossy Glen and Real Rust embossing powders to randomly layer and cover the Love Word Accent from Globecraft and Piccolo. Again I used the Glastique to adhere this to the card.

Here is a side angle shot showing how the leaves are dimensional from the card front.

Happy Saturday!!

Calypso here, hope you have a crafty weekend planned!!  I know I do!!  I just made a list of all my recipients for Christmas cards this year and I feel like my list has doubled!!  That means I really need to get working on them, like yesterday!!  :) 

This weeks challenge over at SweetStamps is:

LAYERS

I've kept my card this week rather simple, but added the requested theme of layers to it.  For my image I am using Banner Girl and Words, which I just adore!!  I colored her with my Copics and did some fun fussy cutting around her.  The background that she is laying on is from ATC Background #2.  Stamped with embossing ink and then heated with clear embossing powder.

You still have a day and few more hours to join on this weeks challenge. 

You can link your card up HERE

Hello, and Happy Friday!!! yay!!! Lisa here and I am so happy to be here today sharing this pretty new Christmas card with you all..

 

I used a new technique (at least to me) on this card and I'm just so excited with it's results!  To create my background I started with Geo Triangles Stencil and white embossing paste.  After removing the stencil, and while the paste was still wet, I sprinkled 24k. Gold Embossing Enamel and heat.  It sort of bubbled up at first, but then smoothed out as the embossing enamel spread.  The results are truly gorgeous, and I have a few upclose photos to show...

 

To finish the card I embossed a charm accent in Starry Sky Enamel Embossing Powder and tied it with twine.  I then added the Classy Deer Sweetcut.

Supplies Used:

Art Stencil GEO TRIANGLES	Embossing Paste WHITE	Enamel EP STARRY SKY	Enamel EP 24k GOLD
Classy Deer SweetCuts Die

I hope I've inspired you to use your products in a new way, and don't forget to join us in our Layers Challenge!

Happy Crafting!

Poinsettia with Chameleon Pens

Roxie here to bring you some inspiration for Christmas and to introduce a new product to the store.

Chameleon Pens were used to color the poinsettia. Chameleon Pens are alcohol ink and along with the chamber of colored ink is also a chamber which holds a blending solution.  You hold the nib of the colored ink to the blender nib (vertical with blender on top) and allow them to mix/blend so when you start to color it will lie down a very light shade and will gradually get darker as you apply color.

You can also blend the colored inks: for the leaves I held GR3 to BG4 to create a darker shade, then came in the GR3 and the blender to work from the tip back and blended with the first application. 

Chameleon colors: petals - RD4, berries - Y03,Y12, Leaves GR3, BG4 and I used the blender  pen to lighten the tips.   BK4 to color the edges.
