I made the Naughty List

 Hello, the weather is a lot better this weekend - we had a ton of snow fall last weekend so never left the house!

Are you on Santa's naughty list?  Little Chibi Xmas Decorations is the reason there is a list. She is opening presents before the big Day!

I was gifted a laser jet printer for my birthday so since then I have been playing with toner foiling. I added the included sentiment to my image, resized them both and printed using my laser jet.

I placed blue toner foil over most of the sentiment and red over the word Santa. This was then fed through my laminator giving my a foiled sentiment!'

I them colored my image with Copic Markers - She looks like she's been caught red handed opening the gift. 

I didn't go for the traditional red Santa hat and I wanted the lights to stand out against it so I made it part of her Pyjamas.

Once colored I matted an A7 card base with red mirror cardstock and added my image. I did then add a little gold gel pen to the lights - where they meet the cable.

I don't think anyone could stay mad at that little face and I think Santa would forgive her.

Cosy Hot Chocolate With Happy Marshmallows

Hello! Happy weekend. we have snow forecast so looking forward to staying in the warm with a cosy blanket and just maybe a hot chocolate.

Have you seen the Stamper's Delights Kawaii Xmas  Coco Digital Stamp - It is so cute! 

I couldn't resist using it for one of my holiday cards. 

I printed it twice do that I could use parts to layer it. The first image I colored it completely with my Copic markers. The second image I colored the bow on the candy cane, the top 4 marshmallows and the holly with the berries. I then fussy cut these from the image.

Using foam squares I layered the different parts onto my fully colored image to give it some dimension. 

I matted a white A2 card base with green mirror cardstock and added my topper. Using sentiment dies I cut Happy Holidays from some red mirror card and added these to my card. 

Finally I chose some 'peppermint' Christmas clay piece and adhered these around my cup.

You can find the Kawaii Xmas Coco image on Stamper's Delights webpage and he comes with or without a face - The choice is yours!

Floating on Dreams

 Good morning! The days are great at the moment, nice mid temperature fall days which make being outside fun.

I'm back with a card using Maker Forte supplies, I love these images from Floating on Dreams Stamp Set. There is also trails you can add to the butterflies that have sentiments. As well as the main sentiments.

I don't color with pencils often so decided to try them and a no line coloring technique on this card. Remarkable Fog Inkis great for this technique as it leaves faint lines instead of the stark black lines. However, because I have used Toned Tan paper my sentiment needs be darker so I used Eclipse Black Ink for this.

My next stage is to color the images, I chose just a few color blends and used them on both butterflies. Coloring with pencil takes longer as you have to layer your colors to get a good coverage. My Faber Castel Polychromo Pencils lay down a good coverage of color.

The rest of the card is kept simple, mats are using colors similar to the pencil colors. A buttery yellow was my fist choice but this doesn't make the colors pop. Redwoods Cardstock on its own was the same however when layer both of these colors it gives a totally different effect.

Using a Top Folding A2 Cardbase I added the layers. I have trimmed these and my design so they are slightly narrower than my base. This draws the eye to the design.

My card needs a little more detail so I chose Roller Skates and Lemon Roller Skates.

These coordinate with the colors in the butterflies. I just like to have a little sparkle or texture on my cards. Makers Magicis great to adhere these in place and of course the Maker's Magic Wand helps to position these perfectly.

I love the wording on this sentiment I perfect way to describe a butterfly!

Rainbows and Stars

 Hello! Well after the snow of last week the temperatures have risen again and we have been back in 75F weather!

I'm back today with a card using Maker Forte supplies. In the main the Star Gazer White Rubber Stamp Set.

The design in this stamp is tiny but the fact it is rubber makes it is show perfectly.

My card begins by using the circle from the Spotlight Circle Stencil to mask off part of my cardstock.

The Stargazer background stamp is put in place over this also I am using my MISTI because I want to stamp the image a couple of times. This makes sure I get a solid color on my cardstock. Sugar Plum Ink covers all of the stamp and I used my Smoosher to make sure I got even pressure. 

It doesn't matter that the ink hasn't stamped right up to the edge of the mask. It's just going to make my 'moon' look bigger. Being careful not to get ink onto the masked section, I lift the circle up and have a perfected clean circle area. 

It's not going to stay that way for long though. Fossilized Amber and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide Inks are blend across the circle to give me a yellow moon.

Trimming my design makes it ready for my card base.

The sentiment that come as part of the stamp set are perfect for using with the background stamp. Using black cardstock I prepped with an Anti-Static Pad. Applying Clear Embossing Glue Ink Pad to the wording helps white powder to stick to them, heating it gives crisp white sentiments.

I couldn't at this point decide which sentiment to use however once fussy cut the top one looks a little lost on my card but the rainbows and stars looked perfect.

Foam Squares adhere the sentiment in place to give some dimension to my card front.

I love using A2 Top Folding Card Bases and this design is no different. Gluing the design straight on the base without a mat (which would take away from the star pattern) finishes my card.

I decided moon looks a little bland so Shooting Star Crown Jewels in sets of 3 take the bareness away.

Thank you for taking time to read my post, I hope you love my design and it gives you inspiration.

Pumpkin Fun

Hello! Well it feels more like winter than fall here, our heated blankets are out and the puppies are all cuddling together in piles!

My card today is more Halloween inspiration for Stamper's Delights. Meet Chibi Halloween Sachi. Isn't she a stunner dressed in her cat halloween outfit? 

I printed her on to Stamping card and colored her with Copic markers. I then printed a 2nd version on to masking paper and carefully cut around the part of her that was covering the moon. This was then used to mask her so I could stencil the moon. 
I used grey ink for the stenciling then added yellow ink to give the moon a glow. 
My image was then cut down so it fit on an A7 card with a purple mat underneath.
finally I added some shine to areas of the image.
