Be Merry

Today, I’m sharing a card created with one Kristina Werner’s designs from the Online Card Classes Holiday Workshop. There are still plenty of cards from class that I’d like to make!

Online Card Classes Holiday Workshop

Kristina stamped lines with pigment ink on her card. I tried this idea, but wasn’t able to stamp lines that looked sharp, so I created strips from patterned paper instead. I heat embossed green and red cardstock with Lawn Fawn stamps. The patterned paper is from one of last year’s Echo Park collections. I stamped the owl with Memento black ink and colored him (her?) with Copics. Even though I didn’t mind fussy cutting stamped images too much, I really like the Lawn Cuts companion dies!

Supplies:

Happy Thanksgiving

Best wishes for a wonderful Thanksgiving to those of you who celebrate the holiday.

I’m sharing a card created with the same design and the same stamp set I used for Pinspired Challenge #22. The Fresh Squeezed subway artwork sentiment stamp has three sentiment sets — one for Halloween, one for Thanksgiving and one for Christmas.

Happy Thanksgiving

Our family’s Thanksgiving will definitely include a few of the items on this list! Have a wonderful day!

Pinspired Challenge #22

The winner of this challenge will receive a 2.5” Create-a-Sticker from Xyron.

I was inspired by the design of the image. On my card, I combined a Fresh Squeezed subway artwork sentiment stamp with a patterned paper background. After heat embossing the sentiment, I used my finger to smudge the black cardstock with ColorBox white pigment ink to give a chalkboard effect.

Penny Black – Magical Season

While I usually create holiday cards in traditional colors, I wanted to be a bit more whimsical with a card using Penny Black’s Dancing Deers stamp set [40-258].

Penny Black - Magical Season

I stamped the deer in a repeating pattern with a turquoise dye ink. I finished the card off with a heat-embossed sentiment from Yuletide Greetings [30-132] on pink cardstock. I can envision this card design in other color schemes – traditional or otherwise!

 

Neat & Tangled November Release Warm Wishes

Today, Neat and Tangled is releasing the digital stamp “Warm Wishes.” It’s perfect for the holiday season!

Neat & Tangled November Release Warm Wishes

I used the digital stamp in two ways. I created the sentiment rectangle by printing the stamp as white on a black fill layer. Next, I created a background paper with a repeating pattern of the mug part of the stamp. Once printed, I combined those two papers with a patterned paper banner and baker’s twine on a dry-embossed card base. This card would be easy to create in different colors! I think I need to go drink some cocoa and put on holiday tunes!

Head on over to the Neat & Tangled Blog to see the rest of the Design Team projects and get details about this digital stamp. The November release stamp sets are on sale today, November 22.
