Wonderful Christmastime

Today's card is a kaleidoscope of sorts. It started out that way but I was not very diligent when I was cutting the panels. I like how it turned out, this is two sides of a double-sided paper.


I added a die-cut Christmas tree from Carta Bella, it has some foam tape behind it to give it depth. I heat embossed the sentiment in white on black cardstock. I finished with some gems.

Supplies: White and black cardstock, Designer Paper -  Tim Holtz, Carta Bella - Snowy Pines, gems.

Season's Greetings

I have a holiday napkin card for this morning's post. The design is the same as previous napkin cards, as always I wanted to showcase the pattern on the napkin.

Merry & Bright

Happy Saturday, I have another holiday napkin card for this morning's post. The design is not much different from the previous napkin cards, I wanted to showcase the pattern on the napkin. 

I was sad that the silver shimmer of some of the snowflakes did not make it through the Mod Podge. I die-cut a stitched rectangle for the panel base, then added the napkin panel. The sentiment is heat embossed in white on black, I finished with some gems.

Gnome for the holidays

Napkins, Napkins everywhere.

I love this cute gnome design, I prepped the panel, die cut it once it was dry. I then added it to a stitched rectangle panel. I heat embossed the sentiment in white on black then finished with half pearls.

Happiest of days

I pulled out some new Kaisercraft paper for my card today, I used a newer paper pad it has all the popout and premade sentiments in the back. I was drawn to the pears of all things.

I wanted a simple card so I picked two of the patterns and made two panels have the size of the card base. I pulled one of the border punched piece out and added in midway on the card.



I added foam tape to the sentiment tag, then tied some twine on to it. I also added a layer of foam tape to the round pair popout. I finished this card with some Nuvo drops.

Supplies: Cream cardstock, Designer Paper - KaiserCraft, Nuvo drops.

Dashing through the snow.

I may have purchased a few too many holiday napkin cards, I think in fact I have napkins till the end of time. 

There is something very relaxing about these cards, I think it is how simple that first few steps are. You can get much more basic than a bottle of glue and a brush.

I cut my pieces of cardstock, I have found white is the best colour, any other colour messes with the pattern on the napkin. The cardstock panel is always a little larger than I need, two reasons, 1 the edges may not have the napkin fully adhered, and two it leaves a little extra to create an element inside the card.

I used a thicker paintbrush, about an inch wide, and I made sure all my supplies are there at my fingertips, the Mod Podge, the brayer, napkin panel and brush. I found I can eliminate a large amount of the mess if I used a piece of parchment paper as my work surface. I cut my napkin into the four individual panels and I am ready to start.

I add a layer of Mod Podge to my cardstock panel, carefully drape the napkin piece of the panel, then using the brayer to make sure if is flat on the panel then I add another layer of Mod Podge to seal it. It is rare that I have been able to avoid any small folds as I do this, in my mind, it adds character.

I let the panels dry, it should only take a couple of hrs to fully dry but I usually let it sit overnight, when the panels are wet they curl a little but then lay flat again after they dry. I find I like to die cut the panel, I have not had any lifting of the napkin from the cardstock but I like the perfect edges a die-cut provides.

I die cut a layer of black cardstock, I love how it makes the napkin panel pop. I wanted these cards to go through the mail with no issues so the only foam tape is on the sentiment panel that is heat embossed in white on black. I finished the card with some gems.

Happy for you

Good Morning, I love the vibrant colours on this card. This was created a few weeks ago for a friend who finished a contract at work and is moving on to something fabulous.

I know it is not in the theme of Merry Monday but I have a few cards waiting in the wings to post and a few of those are for the Holiday season.

This is a simple layout, I cut a black panel of cardstock. I also cut a smaller panel of designer paper then I cut it four ways pie style. I tried to evenly space the panels to create a thin black border between each piece. I added some foam tape to the back of two of the panels and that made it a little harder to align them.

The patterned paper has gold foil on it and I tried to match the half pearls I added top the same tone of gold.

Happy For you

Happy December, I had fun with this card.

I started by heat embossing some images in silver then I moved on to some ink blending, I used a few different colours of distress inks. I added some ink splatter in white, silver and pewter.

I heat embossed the sentiment in white on black. I die cut the frame, then added the layer of foam tape to the center panel. I finished with some black gems.

Keeping Christmas - November 2020

Good Morning and welcome to the November edition of the Keeping Christmas Blog Hop. This will be the last Keeping Christmas for 2020, and the last for the foreseeable future as well. Kelly has announced that she will not be continuing Keeping Christmas in 2021. 

What a pleasure it was participating in this wonderful monthly challenge, thank you Kelly and the rest of the Keep Christmas participants.

I used a simple layout for my card. I did not want too many layers so it would not cause me problems when I mail it. This is another napkin card, I could not resist the holiday design.

This napkin like all others has three layers, I removed off the two bottom ones and only used the top design layer. I brushed Mod Podge onto the cardstock, then laid the napkin over it. I used my brayer to get the napkin solidly adhered then I added another layer of Mod Podge. I have had this panel sitting on the corner of my desk for a couple of weeks so it was ready to use.



I added a layer of black cardstock in behind, then a layer of foam tape. I heat embossed the sentiment in white on black. I finished the card by adding some gold sequins and half pearls

Be sure to take some time to visit all the ladies on the Keeping Christmas blog hop. Leave some comment love behind and enjoy all the fabulous inspiration.

Napkin Notecards

My fascination with paper napkins and Mod Podge continues, and I think it will for a while. I was out getting the last of any Christmas gifts I needed yesterday and may have picked up a few different napkins designs to play with.

I seem to have been lucky because I have not messed up a napkin yet, rice papers work pretty well too however tissue does not. For today's post, I made a set of 4 cards to send to my MIL for a Christmas present.

These were made from a single napkin and I love that the design is large enough and has two different directions that I could make the pattern on the card slightly different for each one. You can see some small wrinkles where the napkin folded slightly.

Each napkin has three layers, I stripped off the two bottom ones and only used the top design layer. I brushed on a layer of Mod Podge onto the cardstock, then laid the napkin over it. I used a brayer to get the napkin pressed down nicely then I added another layer of Mod Podge. I let the panels dry overnight.


I cut the card bases, added a writing panel inside with a matt of black cardstock. I die cut the black matt for the napkin panel with a stitched square. Once the napkin panels were dried I die cut them with a square, I glued the matt and panel together then added a layer of foam tape to finish.

Each card is approximately 4.5in by 4.5in.

Anyone need to swap napkins :). I will have a few leftovers if I am making 4 cards per napkin.

Supplies: White and black cardstock, napkin, Mod Podge (Matte).

With Deepest Sympathy

This is the last of my stretch of sympathy cards, my son needed a card for a friend so I wanted him to have a selection to choose from. 

I have this current fascination with Mod Podge. I have a glossy one and a sparkle on in my craft room but the other day I found a few more types at Walmart. I am excited to try them out.

This card is made with a napkin.. fancy that, also a current fascination and the gloss Mod Podge. I used a simple design, I love this pretty design on the napkin. I die cut the panel once it had dried and added a layer of black cardstock. I also layered it with some foam tape.



The sentiment is heat embossed in white and popped up with foam tape.

Watercolour Sympathy

I used simple layers for my card in this post. I die-cut patterned paper with stitched rectangles then added a grey-blue cardstock in behind. Both panels are popped up with foam tape. I heat embossed the sentiment on a coordinating piece of patterned paper. 

I think this paper is pretty in a subtle way, looking like a watercolour.

A Day of Remembrance

                                     


In Flanders fields, the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
  That mark our place; and in the sky
  The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
  Loved and were loved, and now we lie
      In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
  The torch; be yours to hold it high.
  If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
      In Flanders fields.

With Sympathy

For this card, I used a simple clean layout that showcased the panels. I die cut a piece of patterned paper then added a layer of brown cardstock in behind. I popped it up with some foam tape.

For the second panel, I stamped the image then added the layer of brown cardstock. The sentiment is heat embossed with white on brown and each of those layers has foam tape. I finished with some brown Nuvo drops.

Mayne Island

This is not a crafty post but I wanted to share some pictures from my weekend away. I had a milestone birthday at the end of last week and my sweet and wonderful husband treated me to a weekend on Mayne Island.



Mayne Island is small and quaint with some fabulous outdoor areas to explore. 




We were blessed with some amazing sunrises and sunsets.




We explored some of the parks and hiked lots.


Overall our time was wonderful, lots of time out of doors.

Holiday Sparkle

Good afternoon and Merry Monday, I have a pretty quick and simple card for today's post. I did a huge clean up of my craft area last week in lieu of crafting, I think it was impacting my creativity so I took that time to refresh and renew my space. 

I think it worked because yesterday I had a hankering to craft, I was away so that was not helpful but I want to see what comes from it this week.

I did manage this card though, isn't this little scene adorable. Why mess with that? I pulled out an old favourite, my stitched rectangles and cut out the section of the scene I wanted. I added layers of black cardstock and foam tape to pop the panel up. I added some shimmer white watercolour for a snowfall effect. I had some pre-cut die cut sentiments from Taylored Expressions and voila.. done.

May your day be wonderful.

I am pretty excited about this post, I love this project. I have been looking at napkin cards for a while and they have intrigued me. So much so that I have picked up some patterned napkins just because I could see them as cards.

I have been a bit crafty challenged this past couple of weeks but I really needed a card for a specific occasion so I could not procrastinate anymore. My mind went through a dozen ideas before this one came to me.

I pulled out some thick watercolour paper and some Mod Podge and went looking for my napkins. I cut the panels I wanted and started to put it all together.

I layered the Mod Podge first, applied the napkin then used a brayer to lay it flat, I added a second layer of Mod Podge and set the panels aside to dry for a couple of hrs.


I die cut the first one with a rectangle die-cut, the second with the postage die-cut and the third on with a die for a gift card envelope.

I heat embossed some sentiments in white on black then created some thread nests from silver thread.

I put together the card first, I added a layer of black cardstock to the bottom napkin panel, then added some foam tape. I die-cut the postage die in black then cut the second panel to fit in the center so the stitching was visible then added a foam tape to pop it up. I added the tread nest and a popped up the sentiment to finish.

I then moved on to the second part of the project, a gift card envelope, I put it all together then added the thread nest and the popped up the sentiment.


I love how these turned out, I can see me playing with more napkin projects in the near future. I used the textured side of the watercolour paper so the end result almost looks like a linen finish.

Warm Heart

I saw some Christmas decorations up today... It is a bit early for me but then again I can make holiday cards throughout the year.  It's Merry Monday, so I have a holiday card to share.

Today card is pretty simple, I pulled out a new 12x12 paper pack and the sentiment panel looked perfect for this card. I cut two panels of coordinating cardstock and set them on the card base offset.


I added some foam tape to the top panel then added some pewter gems.

Amazing Birthday

I have a fun fold card for this post, with a pocket for a gift card. I love how it worked well with these patterned papers. I picked the paper up at Hobby Lobby many moons ago and it had been perfect for masculine cards.

I covered all the panels with multiple patterns from a paper pad, for the front I also added a die-cut piece made from a circle loop die. I stamped the sentiment, layered it then popped it up with foam tape. I finished that panel with some black half pearls. It's not the best picture but you can see the details.



For the left inside panel, I added candles on top of the patterned paper, the flames are die cut from coordinating papers, the candlesticks from black cardstock.

I added a small loop to the middle inside panel and a cardholder on the inside right.

Happy Birthday

I pulled out the glitter for today's card. I managed to keep the glitter spread down to a minimum too. I started by putting some double-sided tape on some cardstock then using that to adhere the glitter. I used some pink and purple to try to create an ombre effect.

I then used the glitter cardstock to die cut the balloons then added some twine to the back and set them aside to dry the glue before added some foam tape to the back.



I die-cut a panel of cardstock then added a layer of black cardstock and then added the balloons. I heat embossed the sentiment then popped it up with foam tape. I finished the card with some gems.

Snowflakes

Merry Monday, I have a quick holiday card for my post this evening.

I used simple layers for this design, I cut out a panel of plaid patterned paper then added a layer of black cardstock in behind. I cut a second smaller panel to run down the middle of the first panel then heat embossed the sentiment, layered with cardstock and foam tape. 


I tucked a die-cut snowflake in behind the sentiment then finished the card with some gems.

All you need is love

I am playing along with Tuesday Morning Sketches for today's post, I am using a blend of digital papers and stamps.


I used my stitched rectangles to die cut a couple of panels from brown cardstock, For the bottom panel I cut a piece of patterned paper to fit into the stitching and for the second panel, I cut a piece of kraft cardstock and stamped coffee beans all over it.


I stamped the coffee cup onto some patterned paper then die cut it out. I stamped some kraft cardstock for the sleeve then popped it up with foam tape. I then stamped and fussy cut the lid then added some glossy accents.

I added some twine to the bottom panel and some foam tape to the top panel then adhered them all together. I heat embossed the sentiment and add it and the coffee cup with some foam tape. I finished with some gems on the edges of the twine.

Thanks a ton

I have a quick card for this post with a little jungle pun. I was looking for 12x12 papers for building a folio and end up overbuying.. really over buying. I love these Graphic 45 papers and I could not resist them.

I cut out one of the panels from a page, I added some black cardstock in behind as well as some foam tape for dimension then I cut a card base to fit the panel. I found some puny sentiments in a My Favorite Things stamps set and I heat embossed the sentiment in white on black cardstock. 


I am debating on adding gems, I like the layers the design adds.

Magic of the Season

Good Morning and Merry Monday. I love the vintage look of this patterned paper. I could not choose which one to use for I used four out of the paper pack. I started with a dark green cardstock die cut with a stitched rectangle then cut panels from the designer paper.

I stamped the sentiment on a scrap of coordinating cardstock and added some foam tape in behind. I added some die cut greenery in behind the sentiment then finished with some enamel dots.

Musical Birthday

A quick card for this evening's post. I picked up this music-themed paper a couple of weeks ago and it is perfect for an upcoming birthday.

I used a simple layout as I think the paper speaks for itself. I cut out the bottom panel and added a layer of black cardstock. I did the same with the second layer but also added a layer of foam tape.

I heat embossed the sentiment in white on black and then popped it up with foam tape. I finished the card with some Nuvo drops.

Birthday Wishes

I liked the sketch from earlier today so I did a feminine version of the card as well. 

I used the same steps and I started with a larger frame die and cut out a layer in black cardstock, the die cuts all have an embossing edge so I ran it through my die cut machine again to get the embossing sharper.  I then used the next size of die to cut a panel of patterned paper that fits inside the frame of the larger one.



 
I die-cut the third panel and the circle at the same time and added some foam tape to the panel and tucked the circle inside. I die cut the flower then added some foam tape to pop it up a little. I stamped the sentiment and I finished the card with some gems.

Brown Buck Birthday

It is a perfect day to spend a little time in my craft room. I needed a masculine birthday card so that is what I tackled first. As I was digging through my stash of die cuts for something I ran across a packet of Framelits from Sizzix, the Happy Fall one to be precise.

I liked the way the die cuts were lined up in the packaging and thought that is a great sketch to follow.

I started with a larger frame die and cut out a layer of brown cardstock, the die cuts all have an embossing edge so I ran that through my die cut machine again to get the embossing to deepen.  I then used the next size to die cut a panel of patterned paper that fits inside of the larger one.

 
I then die-cut the third panel and the circle at the same time and added some foam tape to the panel and tucked the circle inside. I die cut the buck head and added some wood grain embossing to it then added some foam tape to pop it up. I stamped the sentiment and I finished the card with some Nuvo drops.

It's time for coffee

I love some of the new products that Honey Bee just released. My mini haul arrived the other day and I finally got a little time to put something together using them.

I used the Coffee die-cut both the word and shadow for part of the sentiment. I heat embossed the rest of the sentiment in white on brown. I put that aside and used one of the pages from a new paper pad. This card was made using both sides of one sheet.

I sized the panel so it was just slightly smaller than the card front then sliced a piece from the side and flipped it around. I added a thin slice of brown paper to cover the seam between the two panels.


I added some foam tape to the coffee sentiment and finished with some Freshly brewed sequins.

Holiday Season

Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian visitors. I have a quick post today after taking a week off to visit with my sister.

It's Monday and that means I have a Merry Monday card to share.

I found this lovely Recollections paper on a visit to Michaels and it made for an easy card with a simple layout.


The pattern with the poinsettia's and greenery has a lovely glittery shimmer on the flowers that does not show up in the photos. I added a coordinating striped paper down the left side than added a thin strip of cardstock to break up the panels.

I layered the sentiment with some of the striped paper from the side panel and popped it up with foam tape.

World Cardmaking Day 2020 - Thank you

Good Morning wild and crazy crafters, I know you pulled out some glitter this week. Too much :)? Alrighty then, how about the excitement for today then.



Ready? you know it is World Cardmaking Day right, a day to celebrate why we are frittering away our hard-earned cash on all those supplies... oh wait is that a different hobby?


Are you planning to get some crafty time in today, I know I will, my sister is visiting and we are going to dig our fingers into some paper and glue and maybe, just maybe - some glitter :).

The card for today's post is a challenge with a crew of crafty individuals - the challenge you ask, follow a sketch and there may be a prize, easy peasy lemon squeezy. This sketch was perfect as I tackled this yesterday, I had a crazy busy week that left me minus even a hint of a crafty spark, I found the sketch easy to follow and it was simple to put something together for the card.



I followed the sketch, and I even used the required measurements and everything, a big win for me because when it comes to crafting I am horrible at following directions or measurements.

Each panel is layered with cardstock and designer paper, I added some silver twine to the base layer and popped the top two panels up with foam tape. I stamped the sentiment and leaves with 4 different gray inks to get an ombre effect. I added a touch of Wink of Stella for a hint of sparkle. I finished my card with some clear gems.


Supplies: White and Gray cardstock, Designer Paper - Stampin' Up! Peony Garden, Stampin' Up! - Sending Sunshine and Thoughtful Banners, twine and gems.

Thank you Crystal for organizing the challenge and providing the sketch.

Happy Crafting,

Autumn & Nature

Hey Crafty Friends, sorry I ditched you for a few days. This week I tell you, way to busy to be considered sane. 

I am posting a card that I made way back at a crafty retreat, I used a simple layout to showcase the pretty autumn designer paper and the wonderful sentiment.

I layered all the panels with dark brown cardstock, the base layer is a nice polka dot patterned. The center panel had some stunning leaves including hints of gold foil. The sentiment panel is layered with multiple cardstock layers. I did not add any additional embellishments as I wanted the gold to draw the eye.



Supplies: White, brown and gold cardstock, Designer Paper-Kaisercraft, Quietfire-Autumn Collection.

Happy Friday!

Keeping Christmas September 2020 - Winter Wonderland

Good Morning all and welcome to September's edition of Keeping Christmas Blog Hop.


I found a Tim Holtz Idea-ology Christmas paper pad in my stash the other day, is it new? is it old? I really don't know, a sign perhaps I shop through my crafty stash for a while. Anyhoo, the patterns inspired me.

My design is simple, layers with more layers and again a few more layers. Each panel of patterned paper is backed by some brown cardstock. I added some ribbon to the large flag, I stamped the sentiment and layered it with brown cardstock and foam tape.


Supplies: White and cardstock, Designer Paper - Idea-ology, Penny Black - Christmas Cheer.
