Tim Holtz Mini Doodle Greetings and Northwood Rubber Stamps Christmas Card

Here is my first Christmas Card I've made for this year.  I used two of my favorite stamps for this card - one by Tim Holtz, the other by Northwoods Rubber Stamps.

I used the following to make the card:

• Northwoods Rubber Stamps - Snowman and Bird
• Tim Holtz - Mini Doodle Greetings
• Versamark
• Stampendous - Detailed White Embossing Powder
• Copic Markers
• Wink of Stella - Clear
• Memento Tuxedo Black Ink

To make this card, I stamped the Snowman with the Memento Ink.  This was then colored with various Copic Markers.  I used Wink of Stella for the snowman to give it a bit of shimmer.  The image was trimmed down and added a dark blue panel.  The sentiment is from the Tim Holtz Mini Doodle Greetings stamp set.  I stamped this with Versamark, and then added the embossing powder and heat set.  The panel was then added to the card base to complete the card.

Gina K Sending Love Birthday Card

When I first saw the Gina K Sending Love stamp set - I had to have it!.  Here is a card that I made with one of the images.

I used the following to make the card:

• Versafine Black Onyx Ink
• Zing Clear Embossing Powder
• Copic Markers - Y13, Y15, Y17, YG61, YG63
• Gina K - Sending Love Stamp Set
• Gina K - Vertical Greetings & Things

To make the card, I stamped the image with Versafine Black Onyx ink, and then added the Zing Clear Embossing Powder and heat set.  The images were then colored with the Copic Makers.  I then trimmed the image down, and matted it with Black paper.  This was added to the card base.  I then added the Birthday sentiment from the Vertical Greetings & Things stamp set to complete the card.

Anniversary Card with Penny Black Poppy Gems

Here is an Anniversary Card I made using Penny Black Poppy Gems.

I used the following to make the card:

• Penny Black - Poppy Gems
• Versafine Black Onyx Ink
• Zing Clear Embossing Powder
• My Favorite Things - Together Forever Stamp set
• Zig Clean Color Brushes
• Pssst Sheer Shimmer - Gold

To make this card, I stamped the image with Versafine Black Onyx ink, then added the embossing powder and heat set.  I then water colored the images with Zig Clean Color Brushes.  Instead of leaving the background plain, I decided to add color with the Zig Clean Color Brushes.  I then spritzed the image with Pssst Sheer Shimmer.  The sentiment was added and the panel added to a card base to complete the image.

Art Impressions Watercolor Anniversary Card

Another Anniversary card made with Art Impressions Watercolor stamps.

To make this card, I used:

• Distress Markers
• Art Impressions Water Color Stamps from the following sets:
• Spring Basket 4605
• WC Birds Set 4872
• EZ Project A UM4271
• Foliage Set 4051
• WC Containers
• Flower Set 4052
• Simon Says Stamp Stitched Squares
• My Favorite Things - Together Forever Stamp Set
• Versamark
• Stampendous Detailed White Embossing Powder

To make the card, I colored the stamps with the Distress Markers, and after stamping the image, added water to create the watercolor look to the images.  The completed image was then cut out with the Simon Says Stamp Stitched Square die.  This was then added to the card base, and the sentiment
was added with Versamark, and embossing powder added and heat set to complete the card.

Birthday Card with Perfect Pearls

I recently saw this card made by Justine Hovey, and once again, I had all of the supplies so I made my own version of the card.  You can't see the shine of the Perfect Pearls in the picture, but its very visible in person!

I used the following to make the card:

• Versafine Black Onyx Ink
• Zig Clear Embossing Powder
• Perfect Pearls - Forever Red, Forever Blue, Forever Green, Forever Violet
• Pretty Pink Posh Sequins - Lime Sorbet and Aquamarine
• Greenhouse Society - Stems stamp set (for the greeting)
• Versafine
• Simon Says Stamp Floral Sparkle Die

To make the card, using white card stock, cut slightly smaller than the card base, I cut the flowers using the Floral Sparkle die.  The sentiment was stamped using Versafine Black Onyx ink, clear embossing powder added and heat set.  On the card base, I masked the edges, and then added Versafine to the left side.  Perfect Pearls were then added to the area.  The top piece was then added to the card base.  Sequins were added to complete the card.

Card with Northwoods Rubber Stamps

Here is a card that  I made with a Northwoods Rubber Stamp, called Three Adirondack Chairs and Lake.

I used the following to make the card:

• Northwoods Rubber Stamps - Three Adirondack Chairs and Lake
• Prisma Color Pencils
• Versafine Black Onyx Ink

TO make the card, I stamped the image with the Black Onyx ink.  The image was then colored with various Prisma Color Pencils.  The image was then trimmed, matted and added to the card base.  For this card, I didn't add a sentiment to the front of the card, since I didn't want to take away from the image.

BIrthday card with MFT Diagonal Quit Square Coverup

This card is similar to one I made a few years ago (check it out here).

For this card, I used:
Soookwang Double Sided tape
MFT Diagonal Quilt Square Coverup
Glitter Ritz Royal Blue, Silver, Sea Green
Elizabeth Craft Designs White Micro Fine Glitter
CTMH Joyful Birthday Occasions
Lawn Fawndamentals - Freshly Cut Grass

TO make the card, I added the Sookwang tape to a piece of white card stock.  Using the die, I then ran the die and the tape covered paper through my Cuttlebug.  In my case, I know that this will cut through the tape, but not through the paper completely, which is what I wanted.  I then carefully removed sections of the tape to expose the sticky and add the glitter.  After each color, I made sure I burnished the glitter in before exposing the next sections and adding the glitter.  The completed image was added to the card base.  I carefully scored two lines below the image and at the bottom of the card.  Between these lines, I stamped the sentiment to complete the card.
