Wishing You a Merry Christmas

 

IC1035 - Craftsy Hacks & Pinterest - INSPIRATION

The adorable snowman that inspired this card was too cute to resist, so I pulled out a playful snowman image and sentiment from Stampin’ Up. I colored the image using Copic markers to bring it to life with soft, wintry tones.

Once the coloring was complete, I cut the layers to build the card. For the background, I used a snowflake-patterned napkin adhered to cardstock—adding texture and a frosty feel.

To finish the card, I scattered a few candy dots to echo the colors in the napkin layer and tie the whole design together.

Fall Birthday

 

WT1073 - Bring on Fall

I began this card using the napkin technique, choosing a beautiful leafy napkin as the base to set a soft, organic tone. Then I reached for an adorable die cut set from Spellbinders and cut the pieces using a mix of paper scraps, adding texture and variety. Once assembled, the die cuts were layered over the napkin background to bring the design to life.

To finish the card, I added a birthday sentiment, popped up on dimensionals for a bit of lift and emphasis.

With Love for Polly

 

MMTPT863 - In Honor of Polly

I am so deeply sorry to hear about our dear friend Polly. I have been crafting friends with her for many years and am eternally grateful for getting to meet her on zoom calls when we were both hosting on Virtual Stamp Night challenges.

For my card, I used this beautiful napkin that has a collage theme to it. I layered it on gold matt designer paper and then a blue layer.

The card was finished with the sentiment popped up on dimensionals and really small diamond dots that were left over from a diamond art. I love these little diamonds and love the shine and size.

Polly sent me some stamped dog images a few years back and I have found where I can purchase all of them to add them to my collection. I am looking forward to adding them to my collection so I can keep her memory fresh in my mind every time I use one.

Napkin Birthday

I realized that I have a huge amount of napkins in my craft room that several friends and family have given me. For this card I used a napkin from my husband's aunt. I showed her years ago how to attach napkins to cards and she went out and bought a bunch of napkins and sent me a large selection. I love so many of them. 

This card was very quick. I attached the napkin, added the birthday sentiment and finished with a few mirror gems.
