Hi!  It is Lisa Lahiff here with you today and I can’t wait to share my new set of cards with you today.  I went completely clean and simple with these babies, but I LOVE it!  Check them out…

To create these cards I started by stamping my images and sentiments in various places on each of the three Tim Holtz Watercolor Panels in Versafine Ink with the new Hero Arts Origami Happy Holidays Stamp Set.  I then used my Tim Holtz Distress Markers to watercolor my images.  Once the images dried I watercolored around each of them with different colors and added a few splashes of water for added texture and dimension.  I then finished them off by adding Nuveo Drops in Autumn Red.  Once each panel was dry I adhered them to black cardstock before adding them to my card bases.

Thanks so much for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

Hello!  It is Lisa Lahiff here with you today, and I’m very excited to share this CAS Christmas Card with a Retro Feel…

I used a fun mix of products to create this card including: Retro Ornaments by Avery Elle, Lawn Fawn Stitch Border Cuts, and set #5 of the Tim Holtz Distress Crayons.  To be honest this card started out as a happy accident.  When I first got my distress crayons I just wanted to play around and test them out so I mixed a few colors onto watercolor cardstock and went over them with a baby wipe. I then spritzed it with some water and perfect pearls and set it off to dry.  The stitched background was inspired by a card I had seen Jennifer McGuire create quite some time ago, and I had been itching to create one too so I did.  I also decided to round the bottom of the stitched background with My Favorite Things Die-namic Stitched Basic Edges.  I then went back to my now dry watercolor cardstock and stamped the ornament images with Versafine Ink, cut them out and added a few accents with a gold pen. I stamped the sentiment in the right corner of some patterned paper, and then I layered it all onto my cardbase.

Thank you so much for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

Hey everyone.. How was your weekend? It’s time to start making a few Christmas Cards in my house and the new release from Mama Elephant was perfect to get started with.

I started out with the Hillside Cover die from Mama Elphant and I die cut a piece of Watercolor paper. Then I added some color to the hills with a No. 36 Light Blue Zig Clean Color Real Brush Marker and a damp paintbrush. Then I stamped the images from the new City Sidewalks set from Mama Elephant using some VersaFine Black Onyx ink on Watercolor paper and Colored them in with several Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. No. 50,51, 34,83, 61, 45, 31, 70, 49, 52, 94, 62, 46, 220, 27, 44, 66 & 47.  I used a damp paintbrush to move the color around for a watercolor look. Once they were dry I die cut them using the coordinating dies.

Using the Mini Misti I stamped the Sentiments in some additional VersaFine Black ink. Then I adhered the hillside panel to a top folding card base. I adhered my die cut images into the hills with some foam tape and liquid glue. I wanted to add some snow to the roofs of the buildings so I added some Copic Opaque White with a small paintbrush. Once the Opaque White was dry I used a Spectrum Noir Sparkle pen to add some Shimmer to the snow.

This is such a cute set.. And I there are a few more other great sentiments included. Be sure to head over to the store and check out the Adorable Mama Elephant Holiday Release!!!

Have a Great Day!!

Happy Monday everyone.. It’s Holly here today and I have a new Video and fun card using the New Winter Unicorn set from Lawn Fawn. I’m also using the new Perfectly Plaid Petite 6×6 Pad and the new Storm Cloud Ink from Lawn Fawn’s latest release.

I started out by die cutting three panels from some White Card stock using the STAX Cross Stitched Rectangle Dies from Lawn Fawn and I also cut a piece of the Plaid paper with the Cross Stitched Rectangles as well. I created a White card base and added the Pattern paper. Then from two of the panels, I die cut the Stitched Mountain Border from Lawn Fawn and then Stitched Hillside Borders. From the third panel I die cut the Avery Elle Falling Snow die after I applied some Peacock Feathers Distress Ink. I added some additional Peacock Feathers ink to the hillside pieces and the mountain caps.

I stamped the Winter Unicorn image onto some Neenah Solar White card stock in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then I colored it in with Copic Markers. Hair: BG10, BG11 & BG13 Body: C00, C01, C02 & C05 Cheeks: R20 Horn: Y00 & Y02 Scarf: R02 & R05. Then I die cut the unicorn using the coordinating Die and I added some Clear Sparkle Pen from Spectrum Noir.

I stamped the sentiment using the Mini Misti onto the lower corner of the Hillside piece with some Storm Cloud ink from Lawn Fawn. And then I assembled the scene and adhered it to the front of the card. I added the Unicorn image with some foam tape. On the inside of the card I stamped the other sentiments from the set to say  ” you! and a unicorn”. I also added a few little hearts from some other Lawn Fawn sets in Guava Ink.
