Christmas Kangaroos

 Hello crafty friends.
Well Christmas has certainly crept up already & we are only days away from the big day!

Today I am sharing my D.T inspiration from  RAM Stamps. For my image I have used Christmas Kangaroos for my Card.




I created a simple 5x7 base with some pretty Christmas paper on top. I chose the tartan colours as I wanted this to be a masculine card for a special young boy overseas. I then placed my coloured image onto a die cut frame & stuck it down using foam tape for dimension. I embellished lightly with the die cuts spelling "JOY" & some sequins.




Copics:
Hat, Candy Cane & Flowers: W1, W2, G00, G02, G09, R24, R27, R29, R30
Kangaroos: E40, E41, E43, E44, E47

Ice Princess

 Hello crafty friends, today I am back to share some D.T inspiration for the Paper Nest Dolls.

Today I am taking a break from Christmas cards as I had a special request from a little person who is turning 7 this month. She was having a Frozen theme birthday party so the image I have chosen to use is called Ice Princess.




If you have been following my work for a while you would know that I have used this adorable image in the past on a card with other Fairytale Princesses, (you will find the original post here), & on a Snowdome project, (for the original post here).

I started with a 6x6 base and put down some glitter cardstock. I then place an embossed sheet of white brushed cardstock. You would have seen this in my last post. I finished off my Winter theme with a shaker on my card. Lastly I glued some flowers to embellish & placed my image on top of some foam squares.




Copics:
Hair: T1, T3, T5
Skin: E0000, E000, E00, E11, E13, R20
Clothes:B0000, B000, B00, B01, B02, B04
Snowman: BG000, B60, C0, C5, C6, Y32, YR15




Although I have created a birthday card, this card could have easily been turned in a Christmas card with a few minor changes.


Ice Princess is available in rubber here & digital stamp here.


Supplies:
Stamp: Paper Nest Dolls - "Ice Princess
Paper: Spellbinders Brushed White Cardstock, AC Glitter Cardstock
Colouring Medium: Copics
Accessories: Accessories: Spellbinders Embossing Folder Flurry of  Snowflakes, Lawn Fawn Reverse Stitched Scalloped Squares Dies, WOC Flowers.

Snowman Globe

Hello crafty friends, there is a new Christmas release this month at  Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios. The image I am using on my card todays is called Snowman Globe.




To create my card, I embossed some brushed white cardstock using a snowflake embossing folder. If you have never used this cardstock before I highly recommend it, especially for embossing folders. The pattern shimmers & pops. I layered the embossed piece onto 5x7 red cardstock.  After colouring & fussy cutting my image I then placed it on top using some foam squares. Lastly I added my sentiment.

Snow & Snowman: BG000 B60
Snowglobe: B00, B91, BG10, E43, E44, E47, E49

'Twas the Night Before Christmas


Hello crafty friends!
Today I have another new release from the Paper Nest Dolls. It is called Christmas Eve & is a Christmas version of the build a nest bundle, so I am showcasing a card I made using some of the elements.



Once I was happy with how my scene looked I printed it out & coloured with Copics. I then cut layers of cardstock to create a 5x7 card.

For my scene I have used the fireplace, sleeping kitty, presents, stockings & Santa from the bundle. When I put the images together it reminded me of one of my favourite all time Christmas books, so I created the sentiment on my computer using the first verse. 




Copics:
Santa & Stockings: C5, R22, R24, R27, R29, W00, W0, W1, W2, C5, C6, C7, C8, C9, E35, Y18

Caroling Snowmen - Snow Globe Bundle

 Hello crafty friends! 
The count down for Christmas has begun & the Paper Nest Dolls have released a new set just in time called Snow Globe Bundle. For today's inspiration I am sharing the snowmen image from the set.




I created my card with a 6x6 base. To colour I started off by shading the background with some distress ink over my masked image, then die cut a border across the top, once colouring was complete.  I then added some Fran-Tage embossing enamel for a raised snow effect & a couple of snowflake stickers to embellish. Lastly I placed my cut image onto my base using foam tape to make it dimensional.


Copics: 
 Clothes: C0, C1, V000, V01, V04, RV0000, RV000, RV00, RV02, BG10, BG11, BG15

I love the versatility of this set as you can use the images on their own as I did or use them placed inside the snow globe image for a snow globe scene.

Make sure you check out the rest of the adorable Snow Globe Bundle set, which consists of a selection of cute Christmas PND images, including Santa, Snow Men, Penguins & much more!

Not So Spooky Tree

 Happy Halloween everyone!

Today I have a special treat to show you! Do you decorate for Halloween? I am not a big fan of the scary side of Halloween & definitely not into horror, so I decided to create this "Not so spooky tree".




This will be a long post so grab a coffee & read on!




I started out by finding the perfect branch to use as my tree. That wasn't very hard as all I had to do was go to the back of my property to find one. I then cleaned off any leaves, cut the twigs back to my preferred size & spray painted it black. For my base I found a small empty box that was roughly 20cm x 21cm x 6cm. I then glued layers of foam board roughly cut to size inside my box till the layers reached the top. This is so we can have something sturdy to hold the tree in place when it sits in the box. I already had foam board scraps lying around, but you can use florist foam as well. After letting the board dry I closed the lid & drilled a hole in the center. Once I covered the box with pretty cardstock I hot glued the tree into the hole making sure I held the tree so it sat straight till the glue dried.


If you love Doodlebug products as much as I do, then you would know how cute their Halloween collections are, so I thought they would be perfect to use to make the decorations for my tree.




My Spiders & Webs, Caldrons & Lanterns were created using Svg files. I omitted the bubbles on the Caldron file for & the eyes & cheeks of my spiders & added some glitter sprinkles for dimesion. 






The witches hats were created using a Witch Hat Treat Cone SVG file, which you can get for free here. In the file the small holes on the side are on the base of the hat but I changed mine to be close to the point, as I did not want my hat to be hung up side down as originally intended.




To make the baubles I mixed 1 part water to 1 part Ranger Glossy Accents. I then swirled a small amount of the diluted Glossy Accents inside the clear bauble till all the inside was coated & drained out any excess. I poured in some glitter of my chosen colour & shook the bauble till all the inside was coated in glitter. Once these were dry I place the tops back on & added some Shape Sprinkles to decorate.






My paper Pumpkins were created by using circle dies & were very easy to make. You will find the tutorial I used here.




I then created some paper rosettes in various papers & placed Mini Icon Stickers in the center.




I love how these turned out, they are just the cutest!




Lastly I added some Doodlebug Chit Chat & Odds & Ends die cut cardstock pieces & more shaped sprinkles for my base to embellish. 






Supplies:
Paper: Doodlebug Design - Petite Prints, Ghost Town & Candy Carnival Collections
Lori Whitlock Store SVG Files: Pumpkin Party - Caldron & Frog, Pumpkin Party - Web Lantern, Ghost Town - Spider & Web by Doodlebug Design
Dreaming Tree SVG File - Witch Hat Treat Cone
Accessories: Spellbinders Circle Dies, Ranger Glossy Accents, Clear Baubles, Glitter,  Doodlebug Mini Icon Stickers, Odds & Ends Pieces, Chit Chat Pieces Sprinkles, Shape Sprinkles & Twine
 Silhouette Cameo 2 Machine, Ribbon from my stash.


I hope you enjoyed my Not So Spooky Tree!
