Pink Eskimo Card using Cookie Cutter Christmas by SU!

Hello there,
Today I want to share with you this fun Christmas card using the cute Eskimo from Cookie Cutter Christmas. This card was intended to be a "bonus" card at my class but everyone wanted to make it so they double-quick-timed it to be sure to get this one made too ;-) Let's take a look...

 I wanted to make something a little different so I used pink pirouette and soft sky with the Cable Knit embossing folder.
I coloured the little Eskimo from the Cookie Cutter Christmas set using blender pens.
TIP: Stamp this Eskimo outline image in grey for a softer look (than black).

 I used a  Sweet and Sassy framelit heart, stamped with the bow from the set using versamark, as a topper for this card then finished off with some silver ribbon across the bottom.

Well, that's all from me for today. I'll be back soon with another card! Thanks for looking today :-)

Cookie Cutter Christmas Gingerbread Men Christmas Card

Hello there,
I have another card today using the cookie Cutter Christmas Stamps and punch duo. I made a Z fold card again (these seem to be very popular this year!) but this time I added the strip across for the little gingerbread men to sit on, see....

Remember the envelope punch board has 25% off to make your own envelopes for this 10.5cm square card, but only 'till Wednesday! See all the WCMD offers HERE, in my shop 

I stamped the gingerbread men onto Crumb Cake card using Soft Suede, Tip Top Taupe and Crumb Cake inks.

 The little hearts on the men are a part of the punch too and I used the very lovely This Christmas DSP which is in the main catalogue. This paper is a lightweight one and so is also good for making envelopes ;-)

 This sentiment is made up of two different ones from the Cookie Cutter Christmas set!

 And a top view of this card to finish today.

I hope you have enjoyed today's card and I'll be back tomorrow with another one :-)

All That Glitters Blog Hop using Umbrella Weather by Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog and Octobers Jem's blog hop. First of all - Wow, October? Already?!
So, this month for the hop we had the brief "All That Glitters" You may have hopped here from the lovely Sharon's blog - where I'm sure her project has wowed you! Please do continue to hop around everyone for lots of sparkly inspiration!
*all hop links are at the end of this post*

Anyway I made this fun and sparkly card using the Weather Together bundle. I loved this bundle as soon as I saw it and really haven't used it anywhere near enough yet, but this card is a start, right?
So, let me share my card for today, I added a ton of glimmer hearts to this card and it is really sparkly IRL...

This card started out because I had die cut the umbrella extra when making another card, what a happy accident ;-) Because of this I had to stamp after cutting, which I don't usually do, but as this stamp set is photopolymer it was fine ;-)

 I added some Crystal Effects (retired) to the spots on the brolly for extra shine and sparkle. You can use the fine tip glue pen for a very similar effect.

 So, I do have a few tips for making this card...
TOP TIP #1: To make sure your sentiment is straight use a ruler and your grid paper. Just rest it straight across and look through the block when stamping. And no pencil lines to erase!

 TOP TIP #2: Don't waste glimmer paper behind your image where it won't be seen, die cut a smaller circle from the centre and adhere as usual. I used this panel to die cut all those little hearts that I added to the card.

 TOP TIP #3: To make adhering all those hearts easy (after I had positioned them where I wanted them) I dropped a blob of glue from the fine tip pen onto a clear block (or use a silicone sheet), then swiped the hearts through the glue before wiping the excess off on the side of the block. Remember to clean your block before the glue dries though!

 TOP TIP #4: Finally, for that "designer" look remember to adhere your hearts over the edges, wait 'till they dry then flip the card over and trim the excess away from the rear for maximum accuracy.

And here's one final photo of todays card.

Next up you will be hopping over to the very lovely Sarah! or you can hop back to Sharon's blog :-)
