Tuesday with Tara {take 423} Coffee for Christmas

Happy Tuesday!  It’s that time of year when I realize I have way more ideas for Christmas cards than I have time to make them… I should probably try to be one of those people who makes them all year for next years cards, then they might actually get sent out to people 🙂 I was finishing up some in progress cards and thinking about what I should post when I realized that this is my LAST Tuesday post before Christmas- yikes!   So, I’ve decided to share one I had ready to go and save more for Instagram shares this week.  Knowing me I’ll still be making them this weekend and will just have posts ready to go for next year!

This card came about when I was playing with shades of blue and found this big Lawn Fawn Merry Christmas I bought last year and didn’t get around to using… doesn’t it look fabulous cut from aquamarine glitter!?  I’ve got a variety of blues happening here, but the Lawn Fawn Knit Picky paper is a fun addition too.  I wanted to take some drinks from Catherine Pooler’s Fall Calls for Latte’s stamp set and winterize them- so inking this one in blues & adding a little snowflake to it seems to have done the trick.  I added a few more tiny snowflakes & pearls from this fun set of Sprinkletz, which was meant for shaker cards (& I will probably keep using well into January!)

Final touches are some small die cut snowflakes and sheer ribbon from my stash, plus a little sentiment from MFT that I believe is discontinued.  I think there’s some definite winter vibes happening here in this simple, whimsical card!  Hope you like it!

Inky hugs,

Tara

Tuesday with Tara {take 421} Birthday Bug

Happy Tuesday!  It’s definitely the season for making & sending Christmas cards, because of that it can be a bit challenging for those people who have December birthdays.  My grandson, who turned 1 yesterday, is one of those people!  I decided to use the same stamp set I worked with for the Christmas Critters Blog Hop (you can see my card HERE) and use it on a quick, but playful birthday card!

I had a blue rectangle die cut and the Lawn Fawn Knit Picky Winter 6×6 paper pad sitting on my desk, so they were the inspiration for the rest of the card!  I wanted to use one of the little bugs in the Christmas Hats stamp set by Anita Jeram, thinking they would be cute paired with this bold birthday greeting by Tim Holtz.  I love using these bold sentiments when I need a quick card!

I stamped the sentiment in Prize Ribbon Distress Ink and added this cute little bug in black.  I almost left it just like that, but decided to add a bit of color and shimmer with a touch of a gelly roll Stardust pen, as well (did you know you can do watercolor blending with these? You can see it a bit on the bug’s belly). I finished it off (as well as the die cut “1” I added) with a bit of Glossy Accents to help it stand out!

I didn’t make this adorable little cake (that Shyloe was not at all interested in smashing.  LOL), but thought I’d share since it matched my card so well!  Isn’t it pretty!?

I’ve got another birthday card using the same colors to share as well- watch for it on my Instagram & blog later this week!  If you haven’t done our Christmas Critters blog hop yet, start here and check it out- there’s some really great makes to inspire you!

Inky hugs,

Tara

PSL Card Making Time

Break out the MFT Autumn Blessing stamps and a Pumpkin spice from Lawn Fawn and we’re making PSL Cards.  We are mixing things up a bit this month, Tara is on the move and packing up all her craft stash. So, I’m here with a   throwback card from a blog hop. I chose this one because it’s the same stamps she used in last weeks post.

Tara’s original post —-

I’m featuring Autumn Blessings by MFT once again!  I had a card idea in mind, but tweaked it a bit at the end and added some PSL vibes 😉 so I hope you like it!

Lawn Fawn & MFT latte card

I colored up the pumpkins from the MFT set and the Pumpkin Spice Latte stamp by Lawn Fawn with Distress Ink & water.   They were all stamped on water color card stock with Archival Ink.  I cut them out with the coordinating dies.  I decided afterwards that this would be a fun project for Distress Embossing Glaze, so I used Clear Embossing Pen to color in the mug and glazed it to give a nice shiny mug!  I used the glaze over Clear Embossing Ink on the sentiment, which I stamped directly on the Kraft card base.

I really wanted to pair these pumpkins with Buffalo Plaid, but my new stamp didn’t arrive in time (I’ll have some fun with it in the near future though!) so I found some patterned paper to use.  A touch of silk ribbon and some glitter (Distress Stickles are the perfect ‘spice’ here… they are discontinued, but still a fave of mine.  Buy some if you find them!) are the finishing touches for my fun FALL card!

I’m not gonna lie, autumn cards are my favorite and I love seeing the creative mix of cards by everyone this time of year.
