Spellbinders Snow Garden Collection

Hi crafty friends! I am back again today with a couple more cards from Spellbinders Snow Garden Collection. I was able to do some crafting these past few weeks and I had so much fun working with these new dies! It's another busy month of doctor appointments with my mom and dad but hopefully I will be able to steal a few moments in my craft room again this month. 

I wasn't sure at first while I was cutting these new dimensional floral dies out and inking them but after gluing them together they turned out so pretty!

This winter floral collection is just gorgeous. For the first card I created a birthday card using the new Crocus and Ladybugs Etched Dies. I have a lot of friends and family with winter birthdays! I cut the florals, leaves and ladybugs out of white cardstock. I inked the flowers and leaves using Distress Oxide inks in Wilted Violet, Shaded Lilac and Peeled Paint. I used an embossing stylus with a balled end to help give the flowers shape. 

I cut a layer using the new Notched Corners Die out of Bristol Smooth cardstock and inked the background. The sentiment was hot foiled using gold foil. I embossed the background layer using the Holly Flourish Embossing Folder. The little ladybugs were colored using Copic markers. The 3D florals really give a 'wow' factor to the card!

I decided to make a thank you card for the second one. I cut the florals out of both white and light blue cardstock and inked them using Distress Inks: Faded Jeans, Shaded Lilac, Peeled Paint.

I also used the Notched Corner Dies to foil the sentiment and inked up the background using Distress Oxides: Faded Jeans, Shaded Lilac and Salvaged Patina. I added a frame of the Mirror Gold cardstock and adhered it to the layer that I embossed using the Floral Frenzy 3D Embossing Folder. 

I'm so happy to be crafting again even if it is just for a week. I linked all the supplies I used below. These are affiliate links but do not cost you anything to use them. I hope I inspired you to create some dimensional flowers on your cards. Have a blessed day :)

Mama Elephant Winter Themed Slimline Cards

Hi there crafty friends! Today I have a couple cards to share that I created using the adorable images from Mama Elephant's Dashin' Thru the Snow and Snow Friends stamp sets.

I love the ink blending combos that I did to create these backgrounds. The Lawn Fawn tree border stamps worked perfectly to help create the hills the little critters are racing down. 

For my second card I used the Mama Elephant Slimline Woodland Creative Cuts Die. This time I chose some blue distress inks for the background blend. 

I stamped, embossed and colored all the images using Copic markers. 

 Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today! I hope you are all having a wonderful day :)

Weeeeee! Dashin' Thru the Snow

Hi everyone! Today I am over on the Butterfly Reflections blog with this winter themed card featuring some cuteness from Mama Elephant. I just adore these critters from the Dashin Thru the Snow stamps.

I stamped, embossed and colored up these cuties using Copic markers. The images can be cut using the coordinating Dashin Thru the Snow Creative Cuts. For the background I used a soft blend of Distress Inks in Milled Lavender, Broken Glass, Peacock Feathers and Broken China. I splattered water, white paint and shimmer spray across the background and added some snowflake sequins from my stash.

The beautiful snowflake frame die is the Mama Elephant Flurry Frame Creative Cuts.  It's the perfect sized layer for an A2 card base. I used the Lawn Fawn Slimline Forest Border Die to create the hill. The banner is also part of the frame die set and I stamped and embossed the sentiment.

 Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you will head on over to the Butterfly Reflection's Ink Shop and check out all the awesome products!  Have a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!

Have an Otterly Great Birthday

Hi everyone! Today I am on the Butterfly Reflections Ink blog sharing this set of winter themed birthday cards featuring one of my favorite Lawn Fawn stamps:  Winter Otter. 

For the background I used Distress Inks in Broken China, Tumbled Glass, Milled Lavender and Wilted Violet and the "smoosh" technique to create the icy water splashed look. I die cut the panel with the Mama Elephant Sweet Feline frame die. I stamped, embossed and colored the otters with Copic markers. Using a white gel pen I added some snowflakes to the scarves and cut them out with the coordinating Winter Otter Lawn Cuts.

The sentiment is from the Lawn Fawn Year Five stamp set and I stamped and embossed it using Versifine black ink.  I cut the snowflakes using the Lawn Fawn Mini Snowflakes dies and some white glittered card stock. 

 I'm always in need of birthday cards and thought these would be perfect for my friends with winter birthdays!!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Head on over to the Butterfly Reflections Ink shop and check out their huge variety of awesome goodies!!  I hope you like my cards. Have a great day :)
