Happy Tuesday!

It’s officially Christmas countdown time and for a pro-craft-inator like me, that means it’s full on Christmas card time!  Today that means playing with some of my new supplies- like this gorgeous Pierced Fancy Flakes A2 cover plate by Honey Bee!  I paired it with some snowflakes from my stash (these are by Memory Box, but aren’t available in the online store anymore) and a foiled sentiment using the new Stick & Shine Xmas Classics sentiments & Metallic foil by Penny Black!

As you can see, I die cut my snowflakes from some of the new Prism Whole Spectrum Glitter Cardstock- for this card I’ve used Sapphire & Chrome.   The circles feature Prism products as well- the Nesting Stitched Circle dies and the cardstock in dark blue and grey!

I tried to keep this card simple to showcase the gorgeous products, but covered up more of the background than I originally intended!  You’ll definitely see this background again soon 🙂

Inky hugs,

Tara

Happy Tuesday!

I’m sharing a throwback post today, since I am currently on vacation with family!  Enjoy!

Today’s card started out very simple and grew into a vintage collage that I had so much fun putting together!  I knew I wanted to work with ribbon, so a wreath is a perfect way to display one.  This little one from Tim Holtz’s Wreath & Snowflake die set is really cute and I’d never even cut it out before!  I chose to layer together two wreaths, one from a (not quite big enough) piece of inked cardstock and the other is solid green.  I did the same with the berry dies and it gave me a nice variety to work with and pair with the crinkly ribbon bow.

Last time I used this set, it was for our ‘snow much fun’ blog hop (you can see my card on instagram or my blog) and I used the same die cut ‘hugs’ sentiment!  I’d cut it twice since I wasn’t sure which way I wanted my layers to go, so today’s card seemed like a perfect chance to use it.

Honestly, the rest of the card just kinda came together as I flipped through paper pads and stamps that were nearby on my messy workspace (seriously, has anyone got tips how to clean this mess up without getting distracted by all the pretty things?)…

The library card is from Vicky Boutin, the holly stamp is by Tim Holtz and the rest are old wooden stamps from Art Impressions & Hero Arts I just love to throw in the mix sometimes.  I had fun adding in some metallic stickers & a touch of Nuvo glitter dots as well!  That background paper is some OLD Tim Holtz Kraft resist gorgeousness with some Rustic Wilderness Distress Ink over it.  I added a bit of a Distress Ink/ Distress Marker combo to add color to the holly on the library card.

Thanks for stopping by!

Inky hugs,

Tara

Scribbly Snowflakes card with Sizzix dies

This is card featuring Sizzix Scribbly snowflake dies and Tim Holtz Festive Words dies.  I figured it was appropriate as Canada gets yet another dump of snow – what perfect time to stay inside and create!  This is a throw back from our Christmas in July because Tara is dealing with her move – I hope you enjoy it!

Perhaps you remember  I had a bit of an oops with a bottle of White Dina Wakley Media Gloss Spray several weeks ago.  You can see the card & read about it here.  Since I had a puddle of white on my desk, I started grabbing papers & tags and assorted other things and dipped them in the puddle.  I suspected that since it has a glossy finish it would be fun for a resist technique, and I was right!  This card front was plain white Cardstock, which I dipped & dripped and splattered and left to dry.

I die cut the Let if Snow from Tim Holtz Festive Words from Glitter Cardstock . Then added some colour blending to the solid layer behind it.  I found a couple of Scribbly Snowflakes left over from last year’s holiday crafting. While I don’t recall what colours I used, I took inspiration from them for the palette on this card- keeping the background softer to let them stand out.

I went to my old faithful, Distress Inks to do some colour blending over the card a subtle mix of Stormy Sky, Salvaged Patina & Chipped Sapphire.  Once it was blended, I spritzed with some water and wiped off the card to really make those glossy bits pop!

I finished everything off with a few sequins and mounted it on a light blue card base.
