Noel with Vanessa

Hi everyone! Vanessa here and today I have a plaid Christmas card set to share.

I love the new Creative Screenings, the are so fun to play with. I used the Scenery: Ticking Stripe stencil and created plaid backgrounds for this card set:

To create my backgrounds, I adhered the stencil over a panel of white cardstock and inked it with an ink blending tool. Then I turned the stencil 90° and applied a darker shade of the color to the panel. After I had removed the stencil, I adhered the plaid paper to the card base.

Now I stamped various leaves and the poinsettia from In Bloom: Debra's Poinsettia with Lydia Evans, die-cut everything with the matching dies and adhered the images. I die-cut the In a Word: Noel Cutaway using gold foiled cardstock and adhered the words to the cards. Finally, I added enamel dots to my set.

I hope you like today's project! Thanks for stopping by!

>>>THE GOOD STUFF<<<

Shay

Hello lovelies!  I am back today with an incredibly simple card using In a Word: Thanks (the stamp set).  Sometimes you need a card quickly and honestly so do I at times and this stamp set is great for helping that happen.

I began by stamping the handwritten "thanks" in Versamark and embossing it with black embossing powder.  I then used Scenery: Rugby Stripe Creative Screenings with blue ink and an ink blending tool to create ombre stripes.  I then flicked some watered down ink with a brush.  I stamped the supporting sentiment in dark grey.  Last I attached the panel to a matching blue A2 card base.

You can change up the colors as needed and make it into a single layer card for easy sending.

Now it's time for some dazzling inspiration from the Talent.

Merry & Bright with Evelin T Designs is such a beautiful stamp set full of awesome sentiments for the season of various sizes.  I also love the illustrations Evelin did for this set.  I am really excited about revisiting this stamp set.

I went with a really simple design which can be easily mass produced.  I also happened to be giving you a sneak peak of new cutaways from our November 2017 Release since our release week begins Monday (check back for new stamps, cutaways and creative screenings ;-) )

I stamped "Peace on Earth" from Merry & Bright with Evelin T Designs on the center of the white hexagon panel (we really needed some hexagons, right?) in red and also the little leaf sprig from the same stamp set under the sentiments.  I added the tiny tag to the hexagon panel to create a cute ornament tag and added some red embroidery floss for a little fun.  I adhered the ornament to a A2 cardbase that I had already covered with some lovely patterned paper from the December Days collection by Pinkfresh Studio.

That's it from me...wait until you see what Heather H., Lydia and Vanessa did with Merry & Bright with Evelin T Designs...so awesome!

Big Birthday Wishes with Vanessa

Hello everybody! Vanessa here today with a cute birthday card!

I love the new Wish Big with Evelin T Designs set, it has so many versatile elements. When I looked at the "Big Birthday Wishes" sentiment, I thought the cute elephant of the Welcome to the Family with Evelin T Designs set would be a perfect match for it:

I first inked the bottom portion of a white card base with light orange ink and spritzed some ink droplets onto it. After it was dried, I stamped the sentiment and adhered the panel to the orange card base. Now I stamped the elephant, colored it with Copics, die-cut it with the matching die and adhered it with foam tape. I stamped the flag, paper-pieced it, die-cut it and adhered it to the card. Finally, I added matching sequins.

I hope you like my mix of the various sets! Thank you for stopping by today!

For our twenty-third Rerun we are concentrating on A Tree for All Seasons. A really versatile stamp set you can use it to celebrate any season or create projects that are perfect for any gender.

Now on to the cards!

Shay


A Tree for All Seasons is a very lovely and useful stamp set.  Over the years I have reached for this set for the elegant sentiments and when I wish to create a masculine card.  I happen to need a lot of masculine birthday cards especially during the autumn.  So I did just that today.

I stamped the leaf circle several times and then stamped the double lined ring from the newly released Ring in the Celebration around it on a piece of white cardstock.  They work well together and it would be fun to experiment further.  Around the circles I watercolored in with ripe persimmon Distress Ink and a waterbrush.  I colored in each leaf with a colored pencil.

From here I attached the panel to a white A2 card base.   On a strip of blue cardstock I embossed the sentiment in white and added some white enamel dots and adhered it to the card using dimensional foam adhesive.

That's it from me...wait until you see what Heather H., Kelly and Vanessa did with A Tree for All Seasons...so awesome!

Berry Pretty Background Notebooks with Vanessa

Hello dear Winnie & Walter friends! Vanessa here with a gift idea for teachers and such. 

I needed a little something for the lovely ladies at my girl's child care and made them these note books:

First, I stamped the images with various Distress Inks onto watercolor paper. I used the new set In Bloom: Carolina's Florals with Angelica Suarez along with In Bloom: Frenchy's Festive Florals with Angelica Suarez and In Bloom: Eva's Favorite Flowers. Now I applied water with a watertank brush and went over the stamped piece until I liked the result. Then I added spritzes of green ink.

After it was dried, I cut the paper into half lengthwise, trimmed white paper for the inside of the booklets and scored everything through the middle.

To assemble the covers with the inner pages, I sewed them together at the spine.

Then I rounded the corners of the covers and tied-on baker's twine. To personalize the books, I inked a piece of white cardstock with red ink, die-cut the monograms of the recipients using Typecast: Cary Letters Cutaways and adhered them to the fronts. 

Finally, I covered simple pencils with red checked washi tape to go with the note books.

I hope you like this idea! Thank you for stopping by today!!

Happy Birthday with Vanessa

Hello fellow crafters! Vanessa here with a cute birthday card using more of the fab new July Release products! 

It's just too much fun to create with these stamps and dies, so here comes my latest card:

I started with a card base I made from patterned paper. Then I stamped the cute elephant from Happy Dance with Evelin T Designs, colored it with watercolors, die-cut it with the matching die and adhered it with foam tape. I inked a panel of watercolor paper with pink and yellow ink, spritzed it with water and die-cut the biggest balloon from the Big Balloon Cutaways. Now I tied-on pink baker's twine, trimmed the balloon and adhered it to the card with foam tape.

I stamped and heat-embossed the sentiment from Sentimental: Birthday onto a strip of blue cardstock, trimmed it and adhered it to the card. Finally, I added matching sequins.

I hope you like my new card! Thank you so much for stopping by!
