Home | Joy with Heather P.


Hi, everyone! Heather P. here, and it's my turn on the Winnie & Walter blog today to share the card I've created using the theme "home" as inspiration.  

To create my tag, I started by die cutting a tag shape, then stamping it with the wreath image from Happy Christmas in Versafine ink, then covering it with clear embossing powder.  I then stamped the Joy sentiment from Merry & Bright with Evelin T Designs in Versafine ink and covering it as well with clear embossing powder.  Once that was done, I heat embossed both the wreath and sentiment to set the powder.  The wreath was then colored with watercolor pens, and background stripes were added with heavily diluted black watercolor.


While the wreath was drying, I stamped the bow from Merry & Bright with Evelin T Designs onto watercolor paper in Versafine ink, and heat embossed it with clear powder before coloring it.  I then stamped one of the house images from Our Town in the center of the wreath using yellow ink.  Once the bow was dry, I fussy cut it out and adhered it to the tag front.  Teal, green and silver metallic twine were braided together and attached to the tag, and then a yellow bow was added to the front.  To finish up, the house and bow were covered with sugared Stickles.  

That wraps it up for me today, thanks for stopping by! :)

Home | Home for the Holidays with Lydia Evans

Hi there! I do hope you are all good! It's Lydia here with you today with a fun little shaker card .... and video. As this months theme here on the Winnie & Walter blog is 'home' I wanted to use the fab new 'In A Word: Home Cutaway Die', and I wanted to show you a little cheeky way of creating a shaker too so I mixed this up and came up with this...

Fun right?!?! I have also used two of the newly released stamp sets, Happiest Of Holidays With Evelin T Designs for the added extra bit of sentiment and Comfort + Joy for the fun stags head. The layer is the smaller of the layering dies in 'Essentials: Katherine Cutaways'. I love the size of the stag head as it's just perfect to take up the space of the 'o' in home. For a full step-by-step on how I created this card I have created a video tutorial for you.....


Or here is the link to the video:

I really hope you like the card and video and give this cheeky little way of creating a shaker card a go! 
 Hugs Lydia xxx

Home | Thanksgiving Tradition with Kelly

Hi Folks! Kelly here. Even though I don't scrapbook as much as I would like, I still have the urge to document things throughout the year. And I love traditions. Enter the Thanksgiving blessings turkey.

  
He's kooky, he's charming, he features The Big, the Bold and Blessings Cutaways down each colorful feather. And if you look at his backside,
  

he's got a feather for each year. Why? Well, he's waiting to record why everyone around the Thanksgiving table feels blessed. We rotate among three different families each year, and in addition to being a fun activity, I thought this turkey would make a great "scrapbook" without any ongoing effort from me to record the thoughts of so many different family members.


Here's our first completed feather, from last year. Great Grandma is 94 years old and it means so much to me that not only do we have her thoughts here, but we also have her handwriting captured. It brought a big smile to my face when I got it out of the decorations box this week. And let's face it, we probably all need more Thanksgiving decorations; it's such a neglected US holiday decorating-wise, sandwiched between Halloween and Christmas!
 

  In a couple weeks I'll add the 2015 feather to his backside and leave the blessings turkey up until the Christmas decorations come out. I think it will be fun to see him grow each year.  


I made a simple, square stand for my blessings turkey, with slots on two sides to stand him up. Nothing fancy, as you see. The burlap is just adhered onto the cardstock stand with tape runner adhesive. The space in the back section of the stand woks well to store future years' feathers. To hold the feathers on the turkey itself, I cut out a dark brown circular shape and adhered it to the body, leaving a 3/4" margin along the edge that's not adhered. That's enough room for me to snugly slip the feathers in and have them stay.
  

I love how the scripty font of "blessings" gives the feathers more definition.

   
Here he is, all together. The turkey cut file is from the "Turkey" image at the Silhouette Store. The patterned papers are from the We R Memory Keepers Jet Set collection. Gobble, gobble!

Thanks for looking!

-Kelly

Home | Sparkle & Shine Challenge with Vanessa

Hi everyone! Vanessa here with a card for the monthly theme of November: home. I love the new release so much and couldn't stop creating with it, so I used my new stamps and dies to create a card for the current Sparkle & Shine Challenge sponsored by Winnie & Walter! The challenge started yesterday and the winner will receive a 25$ gift card from Winnie & Walter. This is the inspiration photo for this challenge:



Perfect, isn't it? So many possibilities! I chose to be inspired by the chevron pattern and the leaves:


I started with a panel of chevron patterned paper that I trimmed to be slightly smaller than my card base. I applied gold ink splatters to it and adhered it to the card. Then I die-cut the In a Word: Home Cutaway from gold foiled cardstock and adhered it. Now I stamped and heat-embossed the leaves from In Bloom: Renee's Leaves onto watercolor paper. Using Distress Inks and water, I colored the leaves. Then I cut them out and adhered them to the card with foam tape. To finish the card off, I added gold sequins. 

I hope you like today's project! Find the Sparkle & Shine Challenge here, I would love to see your take on the inspiration photo!

Thank you for stopping by today!

Vanessa
