The Big Day

Good Morning and Welcome

For today's card, I used a new stencil with an older one from A Colorful Life Designs.

Meet the newly released:

Diagonal Stars stencil

Here's what I did to create my card.

• I began by cutting a piece of white cardstock, then placed the older released Stitched Harlequin stencil over that and inked it up with some Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide ink.
• I removed that stencil and placed the Diagonal Stars over that and inked it up with some Lumberjack Plaid DOX ink. If you look at the stencil below, you will see that I did do some masking and overlapping stenciling to the design.
• Next I used a white Posca pen and I added white dots to the circles for more interest.
• I used a circle die to cut right from the middle of my card front and set aside.
• I die cut the sentiment with some red cardstock and splattered with my white pen again.
• I glued my stenciled card front onto a piece of red cardstock, then onto a white A2 sized card base.
• I used some foam tape to pop the die cut circle back into place, matching up the pattern and then glued the sentiment onto that circle.

Here are the stencils I used:

Snow Day

Good Morning

Here is a snowy holiday card I made using two of the new for November stencils from A Colorful Life Designs called:

Star Halo and Little Snowfall

So, here's what I did to create my card.

• I cut a piece of white cardstock and placed it into my Misti.  I randomly stamped the snowflakes onto my card front with the largest ones stamped into the corners using some Broken China and some Uncharted Mariner Distress Oxide ink.
• Next, I placed the Star Halo stencil over the snowflakes and inked again with the same colours as mentioned above. 
• I used the ink left on my brush to rub along the edges of my card and set that aside.
• I took another piece of white cardstock and placed the Little Snowfall stencil over that and inked again with the same colours.  I then used that to die cut the letters for my sentiment.
• I glued the sentiment over a blue and black die cut shadow of the sentiment.
• I glued my stenciled card front onto a piece of white cardstock and then onto a piece of black and then onto an A2 sized card base.
• I used some foam tape to pop the sentiment over the background and added some blue gems to the snowflake centers to finish my card off.

Welcome

Today's card was made for a little friend who was turning one. Such a special time.

So, here's what I did to create my card.

• I began by cutting the Curly Frame from a piece of white cardstock and glued that over a piece of blue cardstock to create my card front.
• Next, I took another piece of white cardstock, stamped the Bunny in a Wreath in my Misti and coloured it using Copic markers. I fussy cut it out around the wreath and set aside.
• I stamped the sentiment in my Misti with some Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink and die cut it out.
• I glued the bunny onto a small embossed piece of paper that I inked with the Salty Ocean DOX ink.
• I glued my card front panel onto a white A2 sized card base and then used foam tape to pop the image and the sentiment over the front inside the framed area.

Today's simple card features the new for November stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called:

Split Snowflakes

I love this 2-part stencil that has many possibilities.

(Today I am just using just one half of the stencil for my card)

So, here's what I did to create my card.

• I placed one part of the Split Snowflakes stencil onto a piece of white cardstock along the center part of my paper and inked with some Speckled Egg and some Prize Ribbon Distress Oxide ink.
• I flipped the stencil up along the top edge and inked again with the same colours of ink. 
• I placed the panel into my Misti to stamp the sentiment across the middle with some Prize Ribbon DOX ink.
• I glued my stenciled card front onto a piece of designer paper that I have had in my stash for years and then glued that onto an A2 sized white card base.
• I added some silver gems around the sentiment to finish off my card.

Good Morning

I have a fun and simple card today, created using a new release with an older one from A Colorful Life Designs.

Meet the new stencil that can be used in so many ways:

Star Halo

Here's what I did to create my card.

• I cut a piece of white cardstock and placed one of the Marvelous Masks Arch over my paper and inked it up with some Speckled Egg, Shaded Lilac and some Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide ink.
• I removed that stencil and placed the new Star Halo stencil over the background and inked with some Wilted Violet DOX ink.
• I wiped the stencil off, then repositioned it and inked again with some Uncharted Mariner DOX ink. I really like the look of the star over the arch.
• Next, I die cut the sentiment from some purple cardstock and then glued that onto the white die cut word shadow.
• I glued my stenciled card front onto a piece of purple cardstock, then onto a white A2 sized card base.
• I used some foam tape to pop the sentiment over the middle of the star.

I can honestly say that I love how this card turned out using this newly released stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called:

Split Snowflakes

So, here's what I did to create my card.

• I cut a piece of white cardstock and placed both of the Split Snowflake stencil pieces over the paper.  
• I inked over the entire stencil with some Uncharted Mariner Distress Oxide ink.  
• I wanted to add a bit more of a detail to the snowflakes, so I inked over them with some Villainous Potion DOX ink.
• I lifted the stencil pieces off and cut the panel on the diagonal.
• Next, I placed the right side of the cut panel into my Misti to stamp the sentiment.
• I glued the pieces onto a piece of light blue cardstock, then onto a white A2 sized card base.
• To finish my card off, I added 3 silver gems just under the sentiment.

Good Morning

Today's simple card features a new released stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called

Diagonal Stars

So, here's what I did to create my card.

• I got out an older released stencil called Marvelous Masks Arch and placed one of those stencils onto a piece of white cardstock. I inked that up with some Shaded Lilac, Broken China and Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide ink.
• Leaving that stencil in place, I put the Diagonal Stars stencil right over it and inked with some Uncharted Mariner DOX ink.
• I moved the stencil around and inked again to fill in some of the open areas.
• Using my white Posca pen, I added some dots to the stars and splatters to the whole card front to look like snow.
• When it was all dry, I glued my card front panel onto a piece of dark navy cardstock, then onto a white A2 sized card base.
• I used some foam tape to pop the foiled sentiment over the panel and finally, added some silver gems that matched the silver sentiment.
