Birthday Card

I preordered the Lawn Fawn Simply Celebrate Winter stamp and die set. They arrived so I used the presents stamp to create a birthday card instead of a holiday card. I colored with copic and spectrum Noir markers. The Happy Birthday stamp is a really old Hero Arts stamp. The pattern paper and ribbon are old items in my stash.

Anything Goes Linkup party #3

Christmas in August?

I actually work on batch stamping Christmas cards all year so when its time to mail them I have more than enough homemade cards to mail to friends and family for the holidays. Using a Misti stamping platform makes it so easy to create multiples and double stamp to get images darker. For the card I used Lawn Fawn Here we go a-waddling and snow cool with their coordinating dies. I also used Simon Says Stamp stitched rectangles dies as well as My creative time fun stitches edges dies. Everything was colored using comic markers. The snow was embossed using snowflake tinsel embossing powder to give it a little shimmer. I added stickles to the hats and wink of Stella to the lantern light.

color challenge

Long time no blog post. I was inspired by Creations with Christina to complete a color challenge for her Make-Motivate-connect Linkup Party. I used a sizzix banner die set I got on clearance at Hobby Lobby to create this card. All the papers are mostly scraps from leftover projects.
