Merry and Light Christmas Cards

 Here are the cards I made during the Merry and Light class with Gina K and Simon Says Stamp.  The class included a tag, which I changed to a card. I have so many ideas after taking this class.

I used the following for the cards:

• Gina K Designs - Medium Spruce, Light, Medium and Dark Carnation Ink
• Gina K Designs - Merry and Light Stamps and Dies
• Gina K Designs - Grand Poinsettia 3D Embossing Folder
• SSS - Flat Gold Sequins

Its a Dinosaur Birthday!

My grand-nephew likes dinosaurs, so Cricut to the rescue to make this card for him! I love having a Cricut so I can make a card like this.

Celebrate You!

For this Birthday card, I used the waste foil from the sympathy card I previous made.  I love using the waste foil and creating a reverse image that can be used for more cards!

I used the following for this card:

• Gina K Designs - Wild Wisteria, Oriental Fan Stencil, Master Layouts 1, Master Layouts 2
• Gina K Designs - Floral Friendship Stamps and Dies
• Gina K Designs - Sterling Silver Foil, Delicate Dahlias Dies, Poly Glaze Sheets, Delicate Dahlia "waste' foil.

To make the card, I foiled the "waste" foil using the Poly Glaze sheets.  These were then die cut.  The sentiment was stamped and die cut.  The large rectangle from ML 2 was used to cut the wild wisteria panel, which was then stenciled with Wild Wisteria ink using the Oriental Fan Stencil.  This was added to a white mat (cut using the largest rectangle from ML1).  All of the pieces were added to a Wild Wisteria card base to complete the card.

With Sympathy

I don't think anyone likes the reason for making sympathy cards, but they are cards that are needed from time to time.  

For this card I used the following:

• Gina K Designs - Soft Stone, Wild Wisteria, Grass Green Inks
• Gina K Designs - Oriental Fan Stencil, Poly Glaze sheets, Sterling Silver Foil. Master Layouts 2
• Gina K Designs - Delicate Dahlias Poly Glaze and Dies

To make the card, I foiled the Dahlia images and the sentiment.  The waste foil from the sentiment was then used with a plain poly glaze sheet.  The reverse image sentiment and flowers were then die cut.  The stencils were used to color the flowers.  Master Layouts 2 was used to cut a white panel and the mat.  The white panel was stenciled with Soft Stone using the Oriental Fan Stencil keeping the color mainly to the center of the panel.   The stenciled panel was added to the mat, and both were added to the card base.  The Dahlia flowers and sentiment were added to complete the card.

Frangipani Birthday Card

I really like layering stencils, they end up creating such pretty images!  

I used the following to make this card:

• Gina K Designs - Frangipani Stencil, Natures Elements Stencil
• Gina K Designs - Master Layouts 1, Master Layouts 3, Birthday Babble Sentiment Sheet
• Gina K Designs - Light Orchid, Medium Orchid, Dark Orchid, Light Spruce, Medium Spruce, Black Onyx Ink

To make the card, I stenciled the flower using the Orchid inks.  The leaves were added using the Natures Elements stencil.  The image was cut using the largest rectangle from Master Layouts 1  and added to the card base.  The sentiment was cut using Master Layouts 3 and added to the card.  Small round vinyl stickers were added to complete the card.
