Here are my projects for today. I used Envelope Punch Board to make matching envelopes for my cards.

I played with Simon Says Stamp's January 2019 Card kit to make winter greetings cards. Supplies I used are listed below.

< Card 1 >

Supplies : Snow Much Stamp set, 80lb Neenah White paper,Copic Markers, Ivory Cardstock &amp; Wavy Scallops Dies set, Celebrate Winter 6×6, Christmas Icons Dies set , Double Sided Adhesive Strips, White Pom Poms , aquamarine Jewels and Midnight Black Jewels, Micro Glue Dots, 110lb Neenah White for card base, Embossing ink, Fine Detail White Embossing Powder.

< Card 2 >

 

Supplies : Snow Much Stamp set, 80lb Neenah White paper,Copic Markers, Celebrate Winter 6×6, Drifting Stitches Borders, Kadyn Snowflake Die, Foam tape, 110lb Neenah White for card base, Embossing ink, Fine Detail White Embossing Powder.

To make matching envelopes for both of my cards, I used Envelope Punch Board which gives guides for paper size &amp; scoring according to various sizes of cards so it was very easy to use.

After I finished envelopes, I stamped images and sentiments from Snow Much Stamp set using Embossing Ink and heat embossed them in white. I added more snowflakes and shadow details using White Gel Pen.
I can't wait to send these to friends.

I stamped Caroling Critters on 80lb Neenah White using Memento Black ink and colored the images using my copic markers. 

I then fussy cut then all. 

For the background, I ink blended bristol paper using dye inks and then I splatteres with water and white acrylic ink. 

I used Hugs Shaker Dieto make a shaker in which I put Friendship Sequins Mix, Sparkling Clear Seed Beads, Gold Shimmer Seed Beads and Purple Seed Beads. 

After I adhered my colored images using foam adhesives, I added Ballerina Pink sequins and finished off my card.

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge : Anything Goes

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

Thank you for joining us for the Party Time Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

We would like to take a moment to wish you all a Very Happy New Year! Thank you all so much for joining in with the challenges throughout 2018 and we are looking forward to seeing what crafty delights 2019 bring!

This week the challenge is

Anything Goes 

We are showcasing Stampendous Products this week. You don't have to use them to join in but if you have some we would love to see them used.

The lovely folks over at Simon Says Stamp are generously giving away a FABULOUS $50 voucher to shop at the  Simon Says Stamp Store! 

 Good Luck to everyone! The Design Team is looking forward to seeing your crafty makes and will pop around to visit you ASAP!

Here are my cards for this week. I used Greetings Galore set from Stampendous. I had made these two holiday cards before Christmas, and I hope they make sense even though Christmas is literally over :) 

Other than Stampendous stamp set, all supplies used are from Simon Says Stamp.

To begin, I stamped Santa from Christmas Cheer set which was included in the Simon December Card Kit on Watercolor paper using  Sepia ink. I watetcolored the image using my Zig Clean Brush Makrkers.  I then diecut the panel using Postage Stamp Edge Frame Die. 

Next, I stamped holly berry postage stamp image and snowflakes from the same stamp set and I drew lines to make my panel look like a real post card. Instead of writing messages, I stamped my greetings using Greetings Galore set . Then I inked edges a little with Tea Dye ink. I really wanted to put this post card in a mail box, but I had to foam mount it onto Schoolhouse Red Card Base, lols. 

Oh, the letter "Post card" was from Tim Holtz Postcards set. Finallyn I added a little sparkle using Stickles Diamond and a twine bow using Rustic Wedding twine from Crafter's Companion. I love that the Greetings Galore set has lots of useful sentiments that can be used for all occasions through the whole year and I love their fonts, too. This set is highly recommendable. 

I used similar items for my second card.

The blue snowflake pattern paper is from Simon Kit, which you can get separately from Carta Bella Santa's Workshop 6×6. I embellished this card using white ribbon and Sparkling Clear Sequins Mix.

That's it from me for today.Which one do you prefer ? 

So now it’s YOUR turn. 

 Happy Crafting & Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas! & Christmas Card featuring Pretty Pink Posh

Merry Christmas, friends! 

Thank you for all your support, friendship and beautiful inspiration. 

It's been a great year to have spent time with you, I really appreciate. 

Here's a fun Christmas card I made thinkg of you. 

I colored images from Penguin Pals, and Caroling Critters using my copic markers. Background panel was made by ink blending of Bristol paper using some Altenew Dye Inks. I then cut a window using Tree Shaker Dies. 

A piece of white paper from Lawn Fawn Really Rainbow Christmas 6×6 was used for shaker background. I put various Pretty Pink Posh Sequins into the shaker : Share Kindness Mix, Mermaid mix, Sparkling Clear Seed Beads, Gold Shimmer Seed Beads, and Blush Seed Beads. 

I adhered my images using glue and foam tapes, and added snows using a white gel pen. As a final touch, I embellished my card with Ocean Spray, Pink Ballerina, and 3mm Sparkling Clear sequins. 

The colors I used are as follows.

Ink : Emerald, Mountain Mist, Desert Night, Cosmic Berry, Rouge, Blush from Altenew.

Copic : C9-C7-C5 & W1-W0-W00 (penguins) , E09-E08-R05-R02 (Fox) , R20-R30 (cheeks), E29-R39-R29-R17-R14 (red), YG99-YG97-YG95-YG93 (Olive Green) 

Thanks for your visiting, my friends. 

May all your wishes come true in this holiday season.

This week the challenge is

Party Time

It's time to put on your glad rags and party!!

Here's my card on which I used Rainbow Sparkle Gumdrops and Watermelon Party Gumdrops. I made a birthday party card because it was really my birthday when I made this. I made it just for me celebrating my own :) Hope you will like it, too. 

For the background, I did stencil using Celebrate Stencil and distress inks and Detail Blending Tools  then I diecut the panel using Wonky Rectangles Dies. 

I colored candles from Birthday Borders Stamp set using my Copic markers and diecut the image with Birthday Borders Coordinating Dies.

Sentiment from the same set was heat embossed in white using Fine Detail White Embossing Powder, which I found is super fine to be used in small and/or thin sentiment and highly recommendable. 

I foam mounted candles and sentiment on the panel then I foam mounted the panel onto the Schoolhouse Red Card base. 

I then embellished my card using Rainbow Sparkle Gumdrops ,  Watermelon Party Gumdrops and May Arts Ivory Twine.  I really love fun colors and sparkles of these gum drops from Your Next Stamp.
