Foiling a Pinecone

Hello! Today I have a new video for you on Foiling a Pinecone. I’m using a couple simple stencils to get a beautiful foiled card!

I’m sharing all the details in the video. I have really missed Foiling Friday this month; however, I have been sick so it was nice to have a little break. So consider this a “mini” Foiling Friday! Watch the video below or on YouTube:

SUNSHINE-Deck-the-Halls-card-2

Deck the Halls!

Hello! Today I have a fun ornament card to share using a new Maker Forte stamp set. I love how large this ornament is, it really creates a full card just by itself.

For this stamp, I used some watercolor markers to color up the stamp itself. First I colored the leaves with a green marker and added some darker greens to just portions of the leaves. I spritzed that with water and stamped it down. Then I used a red marker to color the berries, spritzed the stamp with water and stamped it down.

To color the ornament, I used the A2 Circle Spotlight stencil to mask around the ornament and slowly ink blended on a couple green inks. I made portions darker to give it more dimension (so it looks more round).

Next, I added the ornament topper with a light grey ink and colored it with grey Copic markers. I added an extra sprig of greenery by the topper for more festive look!

I heat embossed both the sentiment and the topper with embossing powders. I used my favorite Rainbow Sparkler embossing powder for that “Deck the Halls.”

I matted the whole panel with red cardstock and added it all to the card base. That’s it!

SUNSHINE-Window-to-Winter-gingerbread-house-card-3

Sweet Gingerbread House

Hello! Today I have a Sweet gingerbread House in a snow globe! I just love this sweet image and I couldn’t resist coloring it up in pinks and light greens in a no-line colored look.

I used quite a bit of masking for this project…stamping one image at a time then masking off to stamp the next. I first stamped the lollipops, then masked them off. Next I stamped the gingerbread house and masked that off. Then I stamped the snowflakes.

After the scene was completely finished, I masked off the ENTIRE snow globe so I could add those starlight mints!

I love the A2 Starlight Mints stencil! I used pink and light grey ink here, but you could ink in a traditional red color OR try a light green for a wintergreen mint!

Next I heat embossed the sentiment with metallic embossing powder. I couldn’t resist adding a little deer from the What’s Up, Deer stamp set. He’s so cute!

I matted the entire panel onto some metallic silver cardstock and I love how it plays nicely with that embossing powder!

Otterly Adorable!

Hello, I have some cute cards to share today with the cutest critters. I just can’t decide if they are otters (like the stamp set suggests) or baby seals.

Give my video a watch and let me know what YOU think. Watch it below or on YouTube:

In my video I share easy ways to make multiples, and change up a few things to get a different look!

Which one do YOU like better?
