Noel with Lydia

Hi there everyone and a very happy Friday! Lydia here with you today on the Winnie & Walter blog, and I'm sharing a fun one layer card idea.



First I stamped and gold embossed the word 'noel' using Typecast:Cary, I love the clean and classic look of this alphabet stamp set and can see me reaching for this time and again. Once the sentiment was in place I could then move on to stamp the flower clusters into place.



I used the new In Bloom: Frenchy's Festive Florals with Angelica Suarez to stamp my flower clusters. I used quite a few elements from the set using my favourite Christmas colour combo for this year- red, teal with a little hint of pink, green and yellow. Once all the stamping was complete I took a grey coloured pencil and added a drop shadow to the gold embossed 'noel' to make it stand out a little more. I also added a few details to the larger flowers with coloured pencils.



Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you all have a great holiday season!

Hugs, Lydia xxx

November 2016 Release with Vanessa

Hi everybody! Vanessa here with four cards to share with you today. I am so happy to be able to share some cards made with the new, amazing release! So let's get started.

Who could resist the cute images from Season's Tweetings with Evelin T Designs? Not me :) Here I placed the little bird onto a snow hill, framed it with patterned paper and embellished the card with wood veneer stars. 

Here comes another fun image from the same set. I die-cut two of the largest tags using Essentials: Carly Cutaways to assemble them with ribbon. The front is inked with an ink blending tool, then I added a snow hill cut with the inner circle die and placed the snowman onto it with foam tape. The star he holds is from Happy Owlidays with Evelin T Designs. Finally, I stamped and heat-embossed the sentiment from Sentimental: Winter onto a strip of red cardstock and adhered it.

The third card is more festive with all the sparkle. I stamped and heat-embossed the Mini Scenery: Merry Berry using gold glitter embossing powder. Then I trimmed the image, matted it with Kraft cardstock and adhered it to the card. I stamped and heat-embossed the sentiment onto a strip of Kraft cardstock and adhered it above the image. Finally, I added gold and white sequins.

The last of today's cards was made with another favorite new set of mine. In Bloom: Frenchy's Festive Florals with Angelica Suarez is so versatile! Here I stamped all the solid elements, die-cut them with the matching dies and added little dots to the images. I arranged them onto my card, stamped the sentiment and added more little dots around the clusters.

I hope you liked my samples today! Can't wait to play some more with all the beautiful new products!! Thank you so much for stopping by :)

December Color Combo with Heather H.

Good morning! Heather; here stopping by this morning to share another card using a color combo from Pinterest and using some of the fun stamps from the last release!

This month I decided to ask my hubby to choose a color combo for me - sometimes I love and want to use them all and just can't choose! Haha! So I handed him my phone with my Pinterest Board of color combos, and he only spent a few seconds before choosing this one!

I can't get over the cuteness of the little critters in Season's Tweetings and Happy Owlidays both with Evelin T Designs! I started off by stamping the tree from Happy Owlidays with Evelin T Designs directly onto my white panel, and stamped the cute penguins from Season's Tweetings with Evelin T Designs on a bit of white cardstock and die cut out with the coordinating Season's Tweetings with Evelin T Designs Cutaways.

I colored everything in using the colors from my inspiration piece (fudging just a little to add the pink cheeks and color the beaks and feet!). I stamped several of the little snowflake clusters from Season's Tweetings with Evelin T Designs and heat embossed in silver to create the background, added the sentiment, and adhered the penguins with some torn vellum strips to add a soft "snow" effect on the bottom. Finished off with just a few silver snowflake sequins and a green cardbase.

What do you think? Do you enjoy using color combos? Does this one inspire you? If you decide to use it to create something - I'd love to see what you make! Leave a link in the comments - I'd love to come visit and see what you created!

Thanks for stopping by - have a wonderful day!

December Leading Lady Shona Chambers | Take Two

Our December Leading Lady, Shona Chambers, is back for her sensational second performance!  If you missed her smashing debut you must see it...CLICK HERE.  Shona takes on the holidays focusing upon one of my favorites with awesome results!

Ladies and gentlemen, Shona....

Hi everyone!! Thanks for coming back to visit with me again on the Winnie and Walter blog!! 

I hope you enjoyed last Saturdays 'Clean and Simple' Christmas card theme and it gave you some ideas. For today's post I decided to concentrate on something I don't usually think about much - Backgrounds!!

As you can see from last weeks post I'm very much addicted to my white card bases and tend not to cover them up too much. However, every now and then I like to go crazy with a few stamps and dies and see what I come up with!!

For this first card I used my MISTI and one of the new release stamp sets ''Scenery: Holiday Trimmings'.  Trying to line things up is not one of my best skills, so the MISTI was a great help to make sure the tree's were straight and spaced correctly. I simply stamped them in row's across my card front, using two different shades of red dye ink. I didn't want to cover them up, so I die-cut the sentiment from 'The Big, the Bold and Greetings Cutaways' from some wood veneer card stock, glued it to another few layers and then adhered to the card. The rest of the sentiment (from 'The Big, the Bold and Greetings') was heat embossed on black card stock, popped up on foam tape and some gold sequins added from Pretty Pink Posh.

For my second card I decided that I could use some die-cuts to create a background. I chose some paint chips in slightly different blue shades (to create an ombre effect) and die-cut the 'In a Word: Noel Cutaway' from them all. I then simply adhered them in lines across the card front, cutting off the overhang. I then covered them in lashings of Wink of Stella for a bit of sparkle!!

For my last card I combined both stamping and die-cutting. I cut a panel of white card stock the same size as the card front. The poinsettia and sprig (both from 'In Bloom: Frenchy's Festive Florals with Angelica Suarez) were stamped randomly across it. For a bit of shine I added dots to the middle of each flower with an embossing pen and heat embossed with gold. 

I die-cut the 'In a Word: Bright Cutaway' from the stamped panel and also from a red paint chip. The panel was popped up over the card front with foam tape and the red die-cut 'bright' was glued inset into it. I heat embossed the rest of the sentiment (from 'The Big, the Bold and the Merry') in gold and put on foam tape as well. I then put Wink of Stella on the red 'bright' for a bit of shine too.

I really hope you liked these cards and they have maybe given you a few ideas for your Christmas cards or any other cards you need to create. 

Don't forget to pop over to my blog to leave me a comment on this post and all my other Leading Lady posts to have a chance to win a Winnie and Walter $30 gift card.  Have fun crafting and see you all next Saturday!!

Take care

Shona

Noel with Gayatri

Hello everyone,

Its Gayatri again! Today I have a set of two Christmas cards to share with your using Winnie & Walter's new release stamp set and cutaways. I have used Framed with Evelin T Designs stamp set, Typecast: Cary stamp set, Framed with Evelin T Design Cutaways and In a Word: Noel Cutaway.

Both of my cards are similar yet different. They are similar in layout, the elements used but different in colours and the placement of the elements. Here is my first card.

I used the alphabets and numbers from Typecast: Cary stamp set and stamped the sentiment saying 25th Merry Christmas using light grey ink on the card front at an angle. I did draw lines to keep the spacing even. I erased the pencil lines after stamping the images. Since the background is neutral, I wanted my focal elements to pop out of the neutral background.

For the focal point I gold heat embossed the frame from Framed with Evelin T Design stamp set and die cut the frame out using the coordinating cutaway. I also stamped the leaves and berries from the stamp set, copic coloured and die cut using the coordinating cutaway. Then I also die cut In a Word: Noel cutaway using white cardstock, sponged Candied Apple distress ink in ombre and added details using white gelly roll pen. I adhered the frame offset on the lower right of the card front using foam adhesives, the NOEL flush on the frame and foam on the edges to the cardstock. Then adhered the leaves and berries to frame the sentiment. Finally embellished with rose gold sequins.

Now for the second card, I did the background similar to the first one using Typecast: Cary stamp set. But I used red ink and a variety of christmas sentiment to create the background.

I again drew pencil lines diagonally to get the spacing right and once stamped the background, I erased the pencil lines.  For the focal point, I used another frame from the Framed with Evelin T Design which I gold heat embossed. Similar to the first card, I also stamped, copic coloured and die cut the leaves and berries from the stamp set using coordinating cutaway. The sentiment Noel is die cut using white cardstock, sponged Mowed Lawn distress inks in ombre and added details using white gelly roll pen.

On this card, I clustered the elements on the top centre of the card front. The frame using the foam adhesives, the sentiment NOEL flush glued on the frame and foam on the hanging edges and the leaves falling from the frame with the berries in the centre. I used sparkly clear and gold sequins to embellished the card.

You can change colours while the alphabets are arranged on MISTI to stamp a few card fronts. And also emboss a few more frames and elements to mass produce the design. Just vary the placement of the focal cluster and you get a variety of Christmas card.

I absolutely love the Typecast: Cary stamp set. Bold alphabets and numbers. It is a must have stamp set in my collection. The Framed stamp set is gorgeous to add layers and love the hand drawn images. Of course, the In a Word cutaways are fabulous. Big, bold and great focal point word dies. This release by Winnie & Walter is fabulous.

Hope you are inspired by my cards. Thanks for stopping by.
