… martini? 😀  Today’s Random Act of Cardness prompt on the Scrap ‘n Stamp challenge page is WHITE! Here’s my take on a white card:

 

 

I don’t know about you, but some days when the holiday crunch is getting to me, this might just about sum up how I feel. 😀  As a festive card, I wanted lots of sparkle, so I started off with a Picket Fence martini stencil and some moonstone Nuvo glimmer paste. While that dried, I cut the My Favorite Things martini glass from some white glitter cardstock as well as two more from regular cardstock so I could layer them together. I also added a couple of layers to the MFT sassy sentiment, which I embossed with some sparkle embossing powder. I think we all know how tricky shine is to photograph, but this close-up at least gives a hint:

 

 

If you’re still working on holiday cards, I hope you’ll consider making a white card of your own, and adding it to the challenge page for a chance to win some Scrap ‘n Stamp spending money! Thanks for checking in today.

Tuesday with Tara {take 327} Cup of Joy

Happy Tuesday!  Today’s card is Sending you a Cup of Christmas Joy for today’s Random Acts of Cardness theme, coffee.

I finally took some time to play with the new Villainous Potion Distress Inks this week and I challenged myself to use them for this theme!  I first got inky, creating some background paper with a mix of regular Distress & Oxide Inks. I splattered a bit of silver over it and also inked up some thin crinkle ribbon to match.  Love it!

I pulled out the Coffee Understands set by Picket Fence Studios and the Sending Christmas Joy die by MFT.  While I love this big sentiment, sometimes it’s a challenge fitting other images with it on a card.  I played around with my layout a bit and decided on a 5.5″ square card with the girl from the stamp set stamped beside it, since she’s almost as tall as the text.  The tall to-go cup is a great fit to sit over the open “O” in JOY.

I decided to pull it all together with some snowflakes on the background, using Distress Oxide ink through a snowflake stencil (by Paper Rose) which is really bold on the Kraft card base.  I layered it all together and decided to keep it simple and call it done!  The offset layers are a fun & different twist, but the ribbon seems to balance it all out.

And yep… my fingers are still inky!

Inky hugs,

Tara

Happy Tuesday!

I’m back, sharing a fairly simple card today with some big love for evergreens!  I’ve combined stamps & dies by Tim Holtz- Sketch Greenery Stamps & Holiday Greens dies. (The large set I used is not currently in the online store, but the mini holiday greens are in stock!)  They play well together with a tree window from the Picket Fence Studios Slim Line Die Cutting System.  Dylusions fans will notice I’ve also used some stars from an old wooden stamp!

I wanted a somewhat rustic feel, so I chose to cut the window from a Kraft panel and layer an inky background behind it.  I stamped the sentiment over it in a dark brown ink, and it’s really my only regret with this card… I wish I’d embossed it in silver!  I added some stars in the same brown and silver glitter glue to give it a little something extra & tie those elements together.  I especially love how the glitter makes the branch, which I cut from paper I inked up with Distress Inks, look frosty.

Little touches like some blue crinkle ribbon from my stash and a word token finish everything off.   The little details really add a lot to this card, as always!

Inky hugs,

Tara
