Greeting Farm Miss Anya Hello Winter

Hello!  Recently, I had a chance to work with the new Greeting Farm set Miss Anya Hello Winter and I just love how my cards turned out!  

To being, I started with some Bristol Smooth Cardstock.  I mixed some of my Distress Oxide Inks with water and did a little water coloring on the background.  I have absolutely zero water color skills, but I was pleasantly surprised by how it turned out.  I also added a few splatters and set it aside to dry.  I colored my Anya images with Copic markers and cut them out using my Scan N Cut 2.  Then I popped them on top of my water colored backgrounds using foam tape.  Each of them is a little different, but I just love how they all turned out.  Such a fun and easy way to create a holiday card!

La-La Land Crafts Thanksgiving/Gratitude

Hello!  This week's theme at La-La Land Crafts is Thanksgiving/Gratitude.  I thought it would be fun to create a card featuring some of the different little characters La-La Land Crats has released over the last year.  To begin, I started with some light blue card stock.  I used distress ink and the new Summer is Here Layering Stencil to create a background of clouds.  Then I inked up some die cut grass and adhered that across the bottom.  I also added some die cut birch trees, a cute little fence and a tree stump.  Then I was time to color up my little images and cut them out on my Scan N Cut 2.  Once that was finished I adhered them to my card.  Some of them are popped up using foam tape and others are glued straight to the card.  To finish it off, I added my sentiment to one of the clouds and included a few enamel heart stickers.  Such a fun and whimsical card!

La-La Land Crafts Tutorial Thursday- Creating a Pop Up Box

Hello, today I'm so excited to share a fun tutorial on how to get the most out of your die by using the Suitcase Box Die to make a pop up card!    

To complete this project, you will need:

1. Heavy white card stock.  I'm using Neenah Smooth Class Crest White 110lb.

2. Copic Markers (colors listed below)

3. Images/die cut embellishments to add to you finished scene

4. Patterned Paper

Let's get started:

Step 1:  Use the Suitcase Box Die to cut two pieces from heavy weight card stock.  Then cut a rectangle from the same white card stock 4.5x1 inch.  Score each side at 0.5 inches.    

Step 2: Trim off the bottom on both panels at the score line.  On one of the panels trim off the little squares so that it looks like the picture below.  

Step 3: Fold on the sore lines and insert the small rectangle piece that you previously cut.  Adhere towards the top like the picture shown below.  

Step 4. Set the box pieces aside and use the stitched rectangle pieces from the die set to cut several pieces of patterned paper to decorate your box.  

Step 5: Adhere stitched rectangle pieces to the outsides and inside of panel pieces. Use the picture below for a reference.  

Step 6: Adhere the front panel to the back panel to create a pop up card.  When finished, it should look like a box with the bottom cut out.  You can press the card flat to mail and pop it up to display.  

Step 7: Decorate your pop up card with stamped images, sentiments, and die cuts.

CC Designs Christmas Cuties

Hello!  Today, I'm sharing a fun little pageant card using the NEW Christmas Cuties Stamp and die set from CC Designs!  For my card, I started with some patterned paper from Doodlbug Designs.  I used a curtain die from my stash to create a little stage scene.  Then I colored up my little cuties and cut them out using the coordinating dies.  I used foam tape to pop them on top of my stage and added some sentiments from the coordinate die cuts that go with the paper.  To finish it off, I added some enamel dots and stars to the background.

Stamping Bella Mad Hatter

Hello!  Today, I'm sharing a fun and very whimsical card using the Oddball Mad Hatter Stamp from Stamping Bella!  To create my card, I started with some black and white checkered patterned paper.  Then I used the Leafy Frame die from Simon Says Stamp to cut two pieces of card stock.  The first I cut with blue card stock and the second I cut with purple card stock.  I layered them both on top of each other and added some additional green die cut leaves here and there to fill in the scene.  Then I colored up my Hatter and cut him out using my Scan N Cut 2.  I popped him on top with some foam tape, added some mushrooms from Lawn Fawn and finished it off with my sentiment and little cat.
