Misty Mountain Christmas

Hello friends, thanks so much for stopping by.  I am back today with a Christmas card  to share with you - once again I created it from bits and pieces gathering on my desk - they grow daily and therefore I need to continuously 'cull' them and make cards - often some of my my favourite cards in the long run. 

I have cut a card front using offcuts of  Kaisercraft Mint Wishes Collection 6x6 and adhering them together, they have then been cut/embossed using the the largest dies from the Spellbinders Nestabilities Hemstitch Rectangles Etched Dies Venise Lace by Becca Feeken using the Platinum Die Cutting Machine.  This has been popped up onto a slightly larger pre-cut white card base using  Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L Crafty Foam Tape.

Next I have added one of the ornament stickers from the Mint Wishs Collection to a Standard Circle Etched Die and popped it slightly above the centre of the card base. Want2Scrap Baby Bling - Turquoise Rhinestones have been have been adhered to the top of the bauble and Gold Gel Pen has been used to add highlights to the patterned bauble.

The second banner from the Spellbinders Shapeabilities Ribbon Banners Etched Dies has been cut and embossed using white card stock.  The die has been used as a stencil, sponging the exposed pieces using Imagine Memento Ink in Rich Cocoa.  A sentiment from the Mint Wishes Collection has been adhered to the banner, which is popped up below the bauble using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L Crafty Foam Tape.  Want2Scrap Beautiful Bling Borders has been trimmed and adhered along the base of the card front with Baby Bling - Turquoise Rhinestones added along the bling border.  Two Baby Bling have also been adhered to each of the top corners.

Australiana - Escape the Ordinary

Hello friends, thanks so much for stopping by - The card I am sharing today could not be easier to create -  infact it is the second card I have made recently like this - you can see the first one HERE.

I have used white card stock and sponged with various Imagine co-ordinating inks and Sponge Daubers. I have used shades of green ink along the lower portion, moving up to orange to give the impression of a sunset or sunrise, followed by blues and whites for a cloudy sky! To create the cloudy look I have used some torn paper and sponged the edges if this at random intervals and angels and finished with yellow in the corner.  There is no need to be pedantic amount the background as it tends to merge into the background once the die cut is added.

The die has been cut using black card stock and glued to the  sponged card front, trimmed so it is SLIGHTLY larger than the die cut, to create a fine border and then popped up into a slightly larger pre-cut cream card base using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L 3D Foam Squares.  The sentiment is from the Kaisercraft Sticker Book - Belle.  This has been angled at the left end, adhered onto slightly larger card stock and glued to the card front as shown in the photo above.

Australiana - Follow Your Dreams

Hello friends, thanks so much for stopping by - I hope you are enjoying your weekend.  We are enjoying Spring and with it comes daylight savings tonight - we lose an hours sleep - arghhh - well, being honest - it is an hour I lose in The Studio - but rest assured I will be making that up somewhere along the way!! Wink:wink!

The card I am sharing today could not be easier to create - I have used patterned paper from Kaisercraft Misty Mountains - Sunset (6'x6") which already has most of the colours on it - and don't you love those gorgeous autumnal tones?! The purple reminds me of our beautiful plum tree in autumn - it was glorious! I have highlighted the existing colours by sponging with Imagine co-ordinating inks and Sponge Daubers.

The die has been cut using black card stock and glued to the card front and then popped up into a slightly larger pre-cut  purple card base using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L 3D Foam Squares.  The sentiment is from the Kaisercraft Sticker Book - Belle.  This has adhered onto slightly larger card stock and glued to the card front as shown in the photo above.
