No Matter How Old...

I am back!  This time I am sharing a fun Birthday card made with lots of Mint Owl Studio goodies.  Check it out...

To create this card I started by stamping my fun background with the Retro Patterns Stamp Set.  Next I used various spray mists to splatter colors all over, and set this to the side to dry.  I then stamped my sentiment from the Snarky Birthday Sentiments Stamp Set onto pink paper and added the drink images from the Scripty Sentiments.  Finally I finished this off with a sparkly black bow cut with the Packaged Pretty Die Set.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Thankful for you...

Hello!  To all of those who celebrated yesterday I hope you had a fun and safe Halloween this year!  We had a blast with the kids and the weather was the best we've had in a looooong time.  Any who, today I am here and on the CAS-ual Friday Blog sharing this thankful card with all of you...

To create this card I started by stamping the larger border image from the Tin Roof Stamp Set onto a white panel.  I then went in with various Copic markers to color the border in.  I chose richer colors to mimic the colors of Fall.  Next I die cut the top and bottom edges and stamped the sentiment from the Calm and Gentle Stamp set in a brown ink in the lower right corner.  I finished this panel off with some Liquid Pearls in the smaller circles.  Once these dried I propped the panel up onto a green cardsotck with foam adhesive.

DCWV/Pink & Main Blog Hop

Hello most wonderful crafty friends!!!  I'm so excited to be taking part in this hop today, and I can't wait to share the little Thanksgiving card and table card I've created with my awesome DCWV Leaves Stack and some super cute Pink & Main Stamps and dies! ekkkk!!!

Aren't they just so much fun?  This matching card set was so fun and easy to create!  Below I share how these two projects came together...

To create the card I started by stamping the fox onto a piece of patterned paper and then used my Prismacolor Pencils to add more colors and detail to the image.  I have never really used coloring when stamping on patterned paper, but I'm totally loving it!  I then die cut him out with the matching dies and propped him onto a vellum circle with foam adhesive before adding him to my patterned paper background.  I love the mix of the light and dark colors in the Autumn Leaves Stack as well as the shine of the Rose Gold Foil!

For the table card I used the same technique as above by stamping the bear onto patterned paper and coloring it in with my Prismacolor Pencils before using the matching die cuts to cut her out.  I then folded a piece of white cardstock from the Natural Cardstock Stack, added a strip of patterned paper along the bottom and die cut a few feathers from the Autumn Leaves Stack.  I then stamped my sentiment in the upper left corner and adhered the bear with some foam adhesive.

Sparkly Season's Greetings

Hello, hello!  I am so excited to share this pretty and super sparkly card here and on the Mint Owl Studio Blog today.  I used the new Cardinal Greetings Stamp Set, and I love the classic winter designs in this set.  Let's check out the card...

Isn't it so pretty?! yay!  I love the super bright and sparkly background!  This was one of those cards where I had the idea in my head, but I wasn't sure if it would turn out the way I had envisioned, but it did!

To create this card I started with an oval frame diecut out of the middle of my card front.  I then stamped my bird and tree image onto separate Neenah White Card stock, colored them in with my Copics and white gel pen, and trimmed them out.  These were set to the side while I cut a piece of acetate slightly larger than the oval window and adhered double sided tape to cover the entire piece of acetate.  This too was set to the side while I adhered the tree branch to the backside of the oval, and the bird onto the front side.  The adhesive covered acetate was then laid behind all of this covering the open "window", and then covered with Martha Stewart glitter.  At first I had contemplated using white glitter to give a snow effect, but I felt like it would blend too much into the cardbase and so I chose the blue to really give a pop, and it did!  I then finished the card by stamping the sentiment in a green ink and adhering some Pretty Pink Posh Sequins.

STAMPlorations Reminder Challenge: Black

Hello!  It is time to share a little more inspiration for this month's STAMPlorations CAS Challenge with the color black as the twist.  I've created a very simple Christmas card this time...

                        (Oh, Christmas Tree! and Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies)

I apologize for the sentiment being so hard to read in my photos.  It looks beautiful in person, but I think the shine of the embossing powder made the words hard to read, so hopefully that second photo helps!  I love fun look of the trees in this stamp set and really love how easy this card would be to mass produce for the holidays.  To create this card I started with a black panel, embossed the tree image in 24K Gold Embossing Powder and die cut with the double running stitch.  I then embossed the sentiment with the same embossing powder but onto red card stock and trimmed it out before adhering it to the black panel with foam adhesive.

I can't wait to see what you will create for this challenge!
Happy Crafting!
