Papertrey Ink Fawn and Flora Stamps and Dies

Hey peeps.  I'm finishing up some last minute cards for family and friends. I had purchased a few stamp sets last month from Papertrey Ink and I'm determined to use them before the holiday season is over.  So today I'm sharing the Fawn and Flora stamp and die set.  This is such a beautiful deer and it layers amazingly.

I used Memento inks in desert sand, new sprout, bamboo leaves, angel pink, ladybug, Lawn Fawn doe ink and Gina K Design amalgam inks.  

After I die cut out this adorable deer I paired it up with some knit picky pattern paper from Lawn Fawn.  I stamped out the sentiment in versa mark ink and used white embossing powder to heat set. Lastly I added some homemade red enamel dots.  

Thanks for stopping by.  I'll see you back here soon!

Technique Tuesday Sneak Peek - Day 1

Hey peeps.  It's Technique Tuesday sneak peek day 1.  It's the end of the month and it's the build up to release day for Technique Tuesday.  Today I'm sharing the Joyous Juniper stamp set and coordinating crafting dies. This stamp set perfect for those last minute holiday cards.  Such an easy stamp set to color and it really makes a statement.

I stamped out the image three times and colored them with my Copic markers.  I used the coordinating die cut them out so I could overlap them on the bottom of my card.  I ink blended this beautiful background for my junipers to sit on and splattered some white gouache onto to look like snow.  I stamped the sentiment in versa mark and used black embossing powder to heat set it.

Thanks for stopping by.  I'll see you back here tomorrow for sneak peek day 2.  Have a great day everyone.

Holiday Card Series 2018 - Day 5

Hey peeps.  I hope you have been enjoying the tutorials I have so far for you.  Today is Day 5 of the Holiday Card Series 2018. I'm sharing a really cool stamp set and die bundle from Concord & 9th today.  I LOVE how this card turned out as it's dimensional and super cute to boot. If you missed any of the card series to day you can find all the videos here.

This card will fit into to a regular size A2 card envelope however, when the recipient opens it, it will pop up and stand on it's own.  Such a cool way to wow a recipient.  The stamp set and dies are called Christmas Cottage.  There are a few measurements you need to be aware of.  You will need three pieces measuring 5 x 3 and one measuring 6.75 x 4.25.  Now if I totally just confused you, it looks like this. This is cut from a 8.50 X 11 piece of cardstock.

If you are using designer paper (which is lighter paper for any of these pieces, make sure to adhere them to a stronger cardstock so that the card holds up.  I'll share this with you in the tutorial.

For today's card I'm sharing with you the adorable Dani Deer stamp set and coordinating crafty dies.  This image was so much fun to color and design with.  The sentiments and images in this stamp set can used year around.

Technique Tuesday Sneak Peek Day 1

Hey peeps.  It's Technique Tuesday sneak peek day 1.  It's the end of the month and it's the build up to release day for Technique Tuesday.  Today I'm sharing the Christmas Cocoa stamp set. This stamp set perfect for those warm and cozy holiday cards.  While making this card I just had to sip on some hot chocolate.

For my card today I stamped out the the mugs from this stamp set and colored them with Copic markers.  When I color with any medium and I'm using designer paper, I always make sure to match my medium to the colors displayed in the designer paper pack.  This helps me get a very cohesive looking project.  One I colored up my images I fussy cut them out and added just a touch of glitter to my whipped cream.  Next I stamped out a sentiment and layered it with some brown card stock for a nice border.  

I created a layout with some fun holiday paper and placed it on my card base.  I popped up my little hot cocoa mugs filled coffee syrup and hot chocolate (yup it's delicious) on the panel going vertically  down my card.  I placed the sentiment next to the vertical panel and added just a few sparkly gems to finish off my card.

I hope you enjoyed your visit today.  Make sure to swing by here tomorrow for more sneak peek inspiration.  All products will be available Nov 1st in the Technique Tuesday store.
