Christmas Wishes

  Hello everyone, I hope this finds you well and enjoying the holiday season.  I have a Christmas card to share today, not too difficult to make at the last minute, if you need a few more.

I started with an alcohol ink background on Yupo paper.  It doesn’t show in the photo but it is a bit shimmery. I stamped right over top with Archival ink with the gorgeous tree background stamp.  

I then heat embossed the sentiment on some vellum. This is a brushstroke style script and I like the way it looks heat embossed.  

I added some tiny punched snowflakes to finish off my card.  I applied this with some clear glitter glue.  Again these didn’t show up well on the photos, but I found it to be a nice way to glue small things, as the extra glitter on a Christmas cards just adds something to the whole thing!

You can find these stamps in the I Brake for Stamps store.

My best to you and your families this holiday season!

Art Journal, Nature's Wonder...

  Hi Creative Fans!

Today I have incorporated stamps and a stencil with a digital image in one of my art journals!

Your stamps don't always have to be the "main" focal point - I love to use them to "enhance" the main image and add interest to my page - same with the stencil!

The main image is a digital file printed on tissue paper, adhered to my page and coloured with watercolours. I added some acrylic paint to fill around the image on the edges.

I stamped one of the gothic flowers with embossing ink and embossed with fine white embossing powder at the bottom of the page. I used white paint through the honeycomb stencil to cover the digital image sides and top.

To finish off I added a little bit of gold and the letters "Wonder".

Love how this turned out!

Birdhouse Christmas Cards

 Hello from design team member, Heidi.  We are at the point where if you still have Christmas cards to make, you probably need to make multiples quickly.  I have an idea for you using the  most beautiful Christmas stamp.  

I have used this stamp in the past and colored it.  It is not hard to color, but that is definitely more time consuming.  This time I picked out some backgrounds I had already made from my stash (these seem to have been make with my gelli plate) and stamped this stamp in black right over top.  

While I was stamping, I also stamped the image on white cardstock.  I then just colored a couple of the leaves and berries, and cut out the banner to make the sentiment stand out more. I think they all turned out pretty!

You can find this stamp at the I Brake for Stamps store.

Merry Christmas Bird Houses

Stenciled Holiday Gift Bag

  Today I am excited to share this quick and easy gift bag I created that would be perfect for any holiday gift!  This project was so fun to create and would be easy to create several for your gifting needs.

 To recreate this gift bag you will need the following:

Blank Page Muse Supplies 

Penguins on Ice Winter Holiday Rubber Stamp Sheet

The Crafter's Workshop 6005 Slimline Layered Christmas Tree Truck Stencil

Other Supplies: White Gift Bag,  distress Inks, archival inks, low tack painters tape

Start by securing your gift bag to your work surface with low tack painter's tape.  Notice that your The Crafter's Workshop 6005 Slimline Layered Christmas Tree Truck Stencil has 3 different layers on your stencil.  One for each color of ink you will be using. 

Add black or brown ink over the bottom layer of your stencil. 

Carefully lift stencil to reveal your first layer of your truck.  Carefully clean both sides of your stencil before you start the next layer. 

Using the alignment marks, layer the section portion of the stencil over your bottom layer. 

Add your ink to color your truck.  This is perfect because you can customize your truck colors. 

Look how pretty the truck looks!  

After cleaning your stencil to prevent accidental ink transfer, layer the top layer of your stencil over image.

Add green distress inks to color your tree.

Look how pretty the finished image is!  

Using your greeting from Penguins on Ice Winter Holiday Rubber Stamp Sheet stamp your holiday greeting onto your bag! 

Carefully remove your tape and your bag is ready to be filled with your gift!

New Dad Baby Card!

Hi Stamping Fans!

Today I am sharing a "personalized card" I made for my daughter to give her partner as a "New Dad" for his birthday!

The Sentiment and Alphabet Stamps available in store are just perfect for adding to a personal card.

I added "Happy Birthday" and "DAD" letters to a  card base along with a photo printed on glossy paper along with a few other embellishments.

I used "handprint" stickers but you could also use the handprint stamp available in store - link below!

You can have a lot of fun making personalized cards - you could even use pics of your pets!

And don't forget to stencil the envelope to have a matching "set"!
