Crazy Cats Slimline Christmas Card

  

Hello Everyone

Today is my turn to share some inspiration today and I have

made a holiday season card for you.

I have made a slimline card, they really are the rage at the moment and 

added shaker elements, just for fun!

I have stamped the Crazy Cats from Stampers Anonymous on blending card and coloured with Copic markers. 

I have used a slimline die to cut out the background in card as well as in craft foam to space out 

my shaker windows.

Supplies used:

Stampers Anonymous:

Crazy Cats Stamp CMS251

Mini Bird Crazy & Things Stamp CMS250

Sizzix Framelits:

Crazy Cats Die

Thank you for stopping by 

I hope you enjoy your New Year celebrations and that 

2021 is a good one for all

Until Next Time 

Mandy x

Penguin Family Christmas....

 Hi everyone, my turn on the blog today.

For my card  this month, lately I have been seeing a new style of card on the block - Pop and Twist.  So I did some investigating and lots of youtube watching and this is what I have come up with.

My card base is a standard A2 card 10.5cm x 14.8 cm and is a top fold card. my pop out which you will see shortly is cut at 28.5 cm x 6.5 cm and I have cut two pieces. For the next steps to make the pop out mechanism I followed a Youtube Tutorial by Maymaymade it Crafts .

I then embellished the basic pop out and card base with my own patterned paper, copic coloured images and die cuts. Lots of folding etc, but well work the end result.

Supplies used:

Stampingbella stamp - Penguin Family  (by request)

Lawn Fawn stamp & Die - Happy Happy Happy Add on

Lawn Fawn Die - Stitched Hillside borders

Lawn Fawn - Small stitched Rectangle Stackables

Creative Expressions Die - Festive Mini Wonderful Time of the Year

(by request)

Distress Ink Pads -Evergreen Bough & Peacock Feathers -  Kit 1 @ 4

Thanks for looking, hope you are all well and keeping safe.

Until next time

Christmas card with Koko and the reindeer

  

Hello everyone 

It's my turn to share a card and I have used

 the gorgeous Koko and Reindeer Digital stamp.

I have been watching a few videos on YouTube and really wanted to try colouring in 

a snow scape with my Copic markers.

I have printed the Digital stamp onto Xpress-It blending card and coloured it in with my Copic pens.

I have then drawn in freehand the snow line in the background.

 

Colouring the night sky was next starting with my darkest blue and moving down through to the

 lightest blue leaving a circle in the top edge to add my moon which I have drawn in freehand.

The trees are drawn freehand on top of the coloured night sky.

I have fussy cut out my coloured in elephant and reindeer and glued them down onto my 

completed background.

Once everything is in place I have used a white gel pen to add the snow! 

It does take awhile that's for sure 

Lastly I have stamped my sentiment and cut it down to size.

 Lastly I have trimmed down my card using a large stitched rectangle die.

Supplies Used: 

Bizzy Becs Digi: Christmas Koko and the Reindeer

Lawn Fawn: Happy Everything sentiment set

Lawn Fawn: Simply Sentiments 

For a full list of the copic markers I used please go to my blog:

Thank you for stopping by

see you next time
