Kissing Moon with Plaid

By on February 6, 2020 in Inspiration

Hello! Today I have another card share using the January 2020 Hedgehog Hollow Kit. I love this moon image, it looks like he’s blowing kisses! So I paired him with some hearts, a simple plaid inked background, and a “sending Love” sentiment.

To make the plaid background, I first stamped the watercolor look stamp using some light blue ink. Then I chose a striped stencil to add some lines (both vertically and horizontally) with a darker blue ink. Using a finger dauber made it easy to keep the plaid lines within the stamp.

Then I stamped the moon image with black ink and heat embossed it with clear. I colored him with a yellow Copic marker and fussy cut it. I added it to the card with foam adhesive.

I heat embossed some hearts with blue glitter embossing powder and added a white heart as a shadow behind them. I added a few glitter stars.

The sentiment is white heat embossed onto black cardstock. And I finished it all off with some teal foil paper as a frame around the entire card.

Fall Harvest Cards

By on September 12, 2019 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have some fun Fall Harvest cards to share using some of my favorite fall colors…I am in love with plaid backgrounds (especially for fall and holidays), so I brought in some plaid with the cutest pumpkin, carrots, and apples!

These produce dies are just the cutest! And I cannot resist that apple bucket with gold foil accents!!

I started off by stamping the backgrounds with the plaid background stamp. I tried lots of colors on different cardstocks. My favorites were the Distress Oxides for this stamp. This looks like a white ink on the red background, but it’s actually Fired Brick Distress Oxide!! It’s lighter than the cranberry cardstock, so it looks white…what a cool look.
