Mandala Burst Happy Birthday Card

I've wanted to use the Mandala Burst stencil for a while.  So I created a background using it, then decided to use it for this card:

 I used the following for the card:

• Gina K Ink - Blue Raspberry, Wild Dandelion, Grass Green
• Gina K - Mandala Burst Stencil
• Gina K - Master Layouts 1
• Creative Expressions - Happy Birthday die
• Altenew - Birthday Greetings Stamp set

To make the card, I used the stencil, and starting in the center of the stencil, added Wild Dandelion ink with a blender brush.  I followed that with Grass Green and finally Blue Raspberry.  The stenciled panel was then die cut using one of the Master Layouts 1 dies.  A black mat was also cut with the associated die.  The stenciled panel was attached to the mat, and then the entire piece added to a yellow card base.  I die cut the Happy Birthday Sentiment and added that to the stenciled panel.  Since this card was for a missed birthday, I added the belated stamp to complete the card.

Snowy Penguin Christmas Card

For this card, I used a lot of different dies from different manufacturers.  I am very glad that I have a Gemini Junior, since this card is all die cutting, it saved a lot of time.  

I used the following for the card:

• Elizabeth Craft Designs - Chilly The Penguin Die
• Hero Arts - Snowflake Edge Fancy Die
• Simon Says Stamp - Maryanne Snowflake Die
• Creative Expressions - Let it Snow Die
• Memory Box - Winter Tiny Snowflakes Stencil
• Vicki Boutin - Iridescent Glitter Texture Paste

To make the card, all of the elements were die cut.  I used a dark blue card base, and added the iridescent glitter paste through the Memory Box stencil.  It doesn't show up much in the photo, but the effect was stunning.  Once the glitter paste was dry all of the elements were added to complete the card.
 

Let it Snow - Christmas Card

When I first saw this snowman, I knew I had to have the die,  He is just so cute!  And it uses a lot of scrap pieces of paper!  Here is the card:

To make the card, I used:

• Deco Foil Transfer Gel
• Gina K Fancy Foils - Sparkling Silver
• Creative Expression - Sue Wilson - Let it Snow Die, Build a Snowman Die set
• Memory Box - Winter Tiny Snowflakes Stencil
• Lawn Fawn - Stitched Hillside Die
• Heidi Swapp - Toner Sheets, Red Minc Foil

To make the card, I cut out all of the pieces for the Snowman and Light using a variety of scrap pieces of paper.  I assembled the Snowman and light.  The hill was cut from white paper.  I trimmed a piece of light blue paper, slightly smaller than the card base.  Using the stencil, transfer gel was added.  Once dry, the Sparkling Silver foil was added using my Minc machine.  I cut the Let It Snow from toner sheets, and added the red foil.  All of the pieces were then added to the card base to complete the card.
