Jaded Blossom - October Case Me Challenge

Hello everyone!

I am here playing along with Jaded Blossom October Challenge which is "Case Me".  I love Jaded Blossom, I love their Gnome dies and friends.  I think I have almost all of them!  I am always inspired by LeeAnn and Kristie Marcotte.  I love watching their videos, I am always inspired.  I am casing these cards by Kristie.  

Here is my card for your inspiration:

Here is how I created my card.  

I am using the cuties Penguin die from the Gnome Friends called Penguin.  I die set the penguin and the little penguin using card stock from my stash.  The background die is JB Diagonal Card Mat Die, I used Doodlebug paper called Frosty Friends.  The lamp post is from JB Street Lamp Die and Street Lamp Die: Winter add ons.  The sentiment is from JB Penguin Kisses and the outline die.  I finished off the card by adding some snowflakes from the Winter Embellishmnet Cluster.  I also added a small snowman from the Winter Embellishment Cluster.  

Thank you so much for stopping by, please come back again soon.

I created an A2 card (4 1/4 x 5 1/2).  I stamped the image from the Forest Frame stamp set onto some  Ocean Mist cardstock with black ink and embossed it with clear emblossing powder.  I then used GKD inks to ink blend the background.  I used some white pigment ink to create the snow onto the card. I finished off the card by stamping and embossing the sentiment with white embossing powder and die cut it with the coordinating die.  I really love how my wintery scence looks.  

My second card, is an A2 card. I created a summer/spring card.  I started by ink blending the background with GKD inks.  I then stamped the image from the Forest Frame Stamp set with GKD Fresh Asparagus and die cut the frame with Master Layouts 1.  I finished the card by adding the sentiment onto the card and added a couple of birds from the Forest Frame Stamp Set.

Newton's Nook Designs - Sending Holiday Cheer!

Hello everyone!

I am on the Newton's Nook Blog today featuring a lot of the NEWLY released products from last week. I hope you enjoyed the released and you found some products that will get you started on your holiday card making. My card has lots of sparkle and shine for the holiday season, I love creating holiday cards.

Here is my card for your inspiration:

My card is an A2 card (4 1/4 x 5 1/2). I started with the Tis the Season Toner Card Front as my base, which adds those bold diagonal stripes in pink and white. It’s the perfect backdrop for a festive scene! I die cut the top layer from the Basic Frames Die Set and used foam tape to pop it up on the card.

The  pink Christmas foiled tree I created using the Christmas Trees Hot Foil Plates & Dies. I nestled it among the glittery presents that I die cut from the NEWLY released Gift Builder Die Set using the

Cheerful Brights Glitter Cardstock Assortment. These dies make it so easy to layer and customize gifts in any color combo you like!

Of course, no Newton’s Nook card is complete without some furry friends! I stamped and colored the sweet dog and cat from the Christmas Time Dogs and Cats Stamp Sets, then die cut them out with the coordinating dies. They’re holding gifts and looking absolutely delighted to be part of the celebration.

To finish off the card, I stamped and embossed the sentiment from the Christmas Greeting Stamp Set and die cut it using the Circle Frames Die Set.

This card was such a joy to make, and I love how Newton’s Nook Designs makes it easy to mix and match their products for endless creative possibilities. Whether you’re crafting for friends, family, or just for fun, these new releases are sure to bring smiles all season long.

Thank you so much for stopping by, please stop by the Newton's Nook Design blog for lots more inspiration.

My second card, is an A2 card. I love the bold and elegant design of this floral image.  I started with a poly-glaze floral image from "Autumn Delight".  I used GKD deco foil to create the gold lines.  I used GKD sticky mat to put the floral image on it and ink blended the colors using the coordinating layering stencil.  

 

For the background, I die cut the layers with GKD Master Layouts 1.  I ink blended the top layer and added splatter for texture.  To finish off the card, I stamped and embossed the sentiment from the Tis the Season stamp set.  I assembled the card.  

My last card is an A2 card.

This set is only available while supplies last, so don't wait, head over to Simon Says Stamps and get this set. For more inspiration, please stop by Simon Says Stamps blog.


Here are my cards for your inspiration:

My card is an A2 card. I created a shaker card.  I stamped and heat embossed the tree image from the Shimmering Christmas with GKD Silver embossing powder.  I then die cut the top layer with GKD ML 2 and then used the tree die cut to cut out the center.  I added acetate to this panel, added GKD 

Double-sided Adhesive Foam Shaker Strips to the back of the acetate panel.  I added the GKD Clear Quartz Solid Sequins onto the embossed panel and added the acetate panel ontop.  I added the panels to the A2 card.  I stamped the sentiment from the Shimmering Christmas stamp set and added it to the front of the card.

My second card is an A2 card also, but I have created a fun fold.  This is not my design, I found it on youtube and the fun fold is called "diagonal card fold" if you want to search Youtube for the dimensions.  I used the GKD Snowflakes embossing folder for the background.  I stamped, embossed and die cut the tree from the Shimmering Christmas stamp set and added to the top layer of the card.  I finished it off by adding the sentiment from the Shimmering Christmas stamp set.

This is the inside of the card.  I did the two stamp technique on the inside using the oranment from the Shimmering Christmas stamp set.  I then stamped the Merry Christmas sentiment also from the Shimmering Christmas stamp set.
