Warm Wishes And Holiday Wishes

Hi Everyone,

Before I begin I would like to wish you all a Happy New Year! May 2021 bring happier days!

I have two cards to share using the Falling Leaves Layering Stencils. One is basic inking and the other I went a little trigger happy with White Iridescent Shimmer Spray. I had forgotten how stunning Distress Oxide Inks react on Black Cardstock. I am little late in posting them due to some personal issues. However, these cards can still be used for New Years as well as later get togethers if that is allowed in the area you live in. Below you will find the steps to create your own cards.

Warm Hugs Card

Step 1 - Trim White Cardstock to 11 x 4 1/4”, score at 5 1/2” and fold in half for a horizontal top fold card. (A2)

Step 2 - Trim Black Cardstock to 5 1/2” x 4 1/4”. Place the Falling Leaves Layering Stencil and using an Ink Applicator apply Distress Oxide Ink. I used one ink color for every layer except for the with the Pine Cones. The colors I used is Rustic Wilderness, Pine Needles, Gathered Twigs, Walnut Stain and Festive Berries.

Step 3 - Diecut Double Stitched Rectangles using the panel created from Step 2. Adhere to card Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

Step 4 - Diecut Warm Hugs using Vellum for the shadow and White Cardstock x 3 for the word. Adhere each white layer with the shadow layer underneath, then adhere to card front using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

Step 3 - Place the panel created from Step 2 in a Splatbox and spray White Iridescent Shimmer. Once dry adhere to front of card using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

Step 4 - Diecut Holiday using Vellum for the shadow and White Cardstock x 3 for the word. (The dies are from the Gina K Designs Merry & Bright release from a few years ago. If you don’t have it then I linked below an alternative. Just trim off the s at the end.) Adhere each white layer with the shadow layer underneath, then adhere to card front using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

Step 5 - Stamp Holiday Greeting Mix 1 (wishes) using Versafine Onyx Black Ink on White Cardstock. Trim out the sentiment and adhere to card using Foam Tape.

Step 6 - Optional - For added interest and sparkle randomly adhere Silver Baubles using an Embellishment Wand and Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

These cards can be used for many occasions by changing the colors and/or sentiment. Below is a link to all the products used. Thank you for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

i-Crafter December Release

Hi everyone,

Welcome to the i-Crafter December Release. I am using the new Flip Card Heart Blooms dies. It is so beautiful and can be used in several ways. Today I am using it as it was originally intended as an interactive card. Below you will find the steps to create your own card.

Step 1 - Trim White Cardstock to 4 1/4” x 11”, score at 5 1/2” and fold in half for a vertical side fold card. (A2)

Step 2 - Diecut Flip Card Heart Blooms (the full panel) using Patterned Paper and and panel using (the full panel with the Heart Blooms aligned) using another Patterned Paper. Assemble together. Adhere on top using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive. I wanted to add a scene inside the heart window so I diecut the patterned paper in the section where the heart is. I trimmed out the small section where it wasn’t diecut and adhere the heart scene inside using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

Step 3 - Adhere the entire panel to the card front.

Step 4 - Diecut the flowers, stems, leaves and sentiment using different colors of Cardstock. For the sentiment I diecut 2 pieces in White Cardstock and the 3rd piece (top piece) in Red Cardstock and layered it for more dimension. Adhere to the card front using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

This card can be used for many occasions by changing the colors, sentiment and patterned paper. The Flip Card Heart Blooms is a fun and easy way to create an interactive card. Below is a link to the shop. Thank you for stopping by and Happy Crafting!
