Hi all Erin here with some fun and easy card for a Christmas card swap I am doing this year. Check it out!
All
the cards have the same items on them except for the brad, that changed
color and shape as the Eyelet Outlet pack was a variety pack of 12, so I
still have 2 left!! Working with a variety of 12x12 sheets of paper
and cutting them up for layers is an easy way to use up what you have
instead of having to go out and buy a ton of one paper pattern. Here is
my video tutorial on how to make these fun cards.
The Holiday Script Stamp set is perfect for this card where I just wanted an easy sentiment.
Here is the card with a gold ornament brad instead of the green one.
Time to start getting your cards ready, Christmas is just around the corner!!
Hi all, Erin here. Art can be therapy, and this is what these ATCs are all about for me. Not only for a friend who has had a loss, but also to still help me heal from the loss of my daughter. This is why I craft everyday, to help heal.
These
little cards are made with wings stamps from Paper Wings Productions,
not only as a background for each card but also cut out on the embellishments.
On
the backs of each of the cards is the poem that was read at my daughter
funeral, a very common poem meant for parents at the loss of a child.
Here
is my full video tutorial, but I will warn you, I get a bit emotional
on this one. This whole process brought back so many emotions even
after almost 8 years. I will always miss my little Kristen, and moments
like these really bring my feelings right back to the day she got her
wings.
My
love and hugs go out to all that have had a loss.
I grabbed the Frida Por Vida stamp set this morning and stamped one of the images on a piece of 110lb white cardstock. I colored the image using Copic makers.
I found the perfect pattern paper in my stash and used it to cut a tag and for the background of the card front. I also matted the imaged piece as well as the card front on a piece of
Stampin Up Ripple Raspberry cardstock. It matched perfectly. I added some black and white twine to the top of the tag and a couple of small navy blue banners.
I love the way this card turned out. The colors make the image pop off the page. Don't you think?
Thank you for stopping by today. Make sure to check back Friday and see what Erin has in store for you.
Hello friends. Larissa here and I am back with another card using my favorite Coffee stamp set.
This time I am mixing it up again using the Halloween and Fall theme. I hope you are not tired of seeing these cups because these have to be my favorite set ever. You can do so much with them. I will link a few other post at the end in case you missed the other cards I have done with it.
So I started off cutting my cardstock to 3X6 and scored each at 3. It will make a 3x3 folded note card. I cut pattern paper and black cardstock and adhered it to the card front. I stamped the coffee cup a few times on a piece of 110 lb white cardstock and then stamped a different image on each. I colored them all with Copic markers and highlighted here and there with a white Gelly Roll pen. After coloring the coffee cups I cut each one out and adhered it to the card front.
These cards are pretty simple to create. They only took me about 15 to 20 minutes. You could drop a Fall Flavored KCup Coffee or Tea in a clear small baggy and attach one of these note cards.

I hope you enjoyed my post today. I will be back with more cards this week. Have a wonderful day friends.
I am in a mini book
phase, they are so fun to make and just a chance to try fun techniques
and get my hands all paint covered!!!
My inspiration for this mini book was bees, I kept seeing
a bee/bug and I thought Bee Beautiful, would be wonderful for a title
and then I went with the theme of yellow and black. From there it just
took on a life of its own. I used a ton of Tattered Angels
paints and mists along with some various mediums with stencils from The Crafter's Workshop. I then added in some fun
background stamps from Paper Wings Productions to help enhance the feel
of the book.
Here is the first video which is filled with the cutting
of the pages, mists, painting, stenciling, stamping, and a fun technique
with the EZ Steam II material and glitter, embossing powder, and flower
soft to add a great dimension and texture to the page.
From here I added in a few pictures of my little girl form this year,
not many just there is room for more as the year goes along. I also
added in some fun bling, brads, and other little gems from Eyelet Outlet
to enhance the entire effect. I did not want to cover the pages up too
much, I love the effect I got from all the mists, stamps, and stencils.
Here are some close up shots of some of the pages.
I wanted to make a fun little mini book that was full of red, France, and had a vintage theme. As it progressed it actually started to look like a vintage camera. How fun!!!
Here is my full video tutorial for this fun project.
Here are some up close pictures of this fun little mini book.
I used some of the embellishments I had made earlier from the wings stamps on a couple of the pages (see them above on the middle left and bottom right).
Here is the video on how I made the wing embellishments.
It is so easy to create when you have a simple color scheme. Mine was
red and black, with hints of gold, bronze, creme, and white which are
all neutral colors. you could easily add pictures in place of some of
the little card to make this a brag book or a micro vacation book. The
ideas are endless!!
Check out the amazing demo that Carry Avery did for me at the Heirloom Productions Stamp show this summer showing how to sue inks to blend and make a resist with a glossy paper. Check out the technique here!!
Here is my version of the card I made at the show. You can use any dark color for the top coat and it works the same way!
Thanks for stopping by!!
