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-Ice-Bouquet-card-3

Ice Bouquet

Hello! Today I have a quick holiday card to share with you. I’m using the new Ice Bouquet stamp set from Maker Forte. It’s such a beautiful image!

For this card, I stamped the image and colored it with Copic markers. Then I used the Candy Cane stripe stencil to ink on some light inks in red and green. I did not mask the image off, but I was careful to not ink over the image.

I added some Stardust Stickles (my favorite!) over the ice skate for some glittery shine. Then I finished it off with some iridescent sequins.
