sending you warm wishes

Hello! Ashley here today I'm sending you warm wishes - because I need them myself. It's 5 degrees here today and it literally hurts to go outside.

For this "warm wishes" card, I used two stamp sets: Play with your Coffee and Winter Mix it Up. I adore this little border of coffee cups in the Play with your Coffee stamp set. So cute!

I used distress ink + watercoloring for the background. I heat embossed my stamp and my sentiment. Here is a close up of the stamping:

Thanks so much for looking! I hope you're all staying warm!

New Year and Snowmen

Hello friends. I am so happy to be back posting here at the Aviary. I have missed all of you. I am hoping each of you have a fantastic 2017.

Today I have a card for you I made using the Snowman Love stamp set. You know snowman are just not for Christmas.

I stamped the image of the snowman 3 times across a piece of white cardstock I trimmed down. I then used my Copic marker BG10 to give it a little highlight here and there to make it look a white.

I added YR07 to their noses and W3 and W1 for the ground. I of course wanted to have the focus on the snowmen so I didn't want to add any bright pattern paper. I took a embossing folder I had a embossed snowflakes on a piece of colored cardstock to use for the background. It gave it just enough. To finish off the card front I tied a piece of blue and white twine around the bottom.

Supplies Used:
Paper Wings Productions Snowman Love stamp set
Simon Says Stamp Intense Black Ink
Copic Markers
Pool Party Cardstock from Stampin Up

Sizzix Embossing folder Snowflakes
Blue and White Twine
ATG
White Card Base

I hope you enjoyed my post today. I will be back with more cards next week.
Have a gorgeous day.

Let it Snow

Hello friends. So about this time every year we seem to be melting from the awful heat. Although we haven't been in the triple digits to many days just down the road in the big city they have seen them for many many days. The only real places to be in this heat is inside with the AC blowing or in the swimming pool. Sometimes even that is too hot. 

So we all start dreaming of winter, what little of a winter we get anyway. We start wishing for snow that we never see and building snowman. 

So today I pulled out Snowman Love Clear Stamp Set. 
I stamped the images on a piece of Kraft cardstock and colored the images using my Prismacolor Pencils.

I adhered the card front on to a white card base using my ATG.



I have to say this is going to be one of my favorite stamps for the winter months.

Hope you enjoyed my post today.
Have a wonderful day friends.

Warm Winter Wishes

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today and I'm happy to be working with these lovely stamps  from Paper Wings Productions.

The card was created from white cardstock and a layer of snowy paper and navy cardstock was added on top.  Since we recently were pounded with 30" of snow, this card was quite appropriate!

The mittens are from the Winter Wood Cuts Cling stamp set.  I stamped, fussy cut, and colored the mittens with Smooch Accent Inks.  The words are part of the Say it-Winter Greetings Clear Stamp set.  They were individually stamped and then cut into pennant shapes to fit across the card.  Black cardstock under the pennants really helped them stand out.

 

The mittens were added to the card with foam adhesives for dimension. 

 

Thanks for stopping by today.

 

Steph

 

warm winter wishes

We had our first snow of the season in Indiana this weekend and it put me in the mood to bundle up the penguin in the Winter Wonderland stamp set:

I wanted to use the penguin from the Winter Wonderland stamp set and I wanted to bundle him up with a hat and a scarf. I stamped my penguin and the hat and fussy cut them both. Then I stamped the image of the wolf wearing the scarf and fussy cut the scarf.

I colored the hat and scarf with Copic markers and attached them to my penguin. Then I attached the penguin to my card. I stamped the sentiment using the Say It Winter Greetings stamp set.

For a little bling, I added snowflakes using the Sparkle red rubber cling stamp set. I heat embossed them with silver embossing powder.

Here's my finished card:

Thanks so much for looking! Hoping you're staying warm this winter :) For more details, check out my blog today, Markland and Main.

Warm Winter Wishes

Hello friends. Larissa here with a warm winter wishes card for you today.  I am actually using 3 different stamp sets for this card.
I stamped the cups "Playing with your coffee" on a piece of kraft cardstock and colored them using Spectrum Noir markers.
I then stamped each cup with a different stamped image from the "Holiday Add Ons" set.

For the sentiment I used the stamp set "Say it Winter Greetings" and heat embossed it with white embossing powder. 

For the inside of the card I added another cup also colored with Spectrum Noir markers and left it blank to be able to write a note if I wanted. 

I hope you enjoyed my card today. Have a wonderful day friends.
