A Wreath for all Seasons!

by Larisa Hohman on Nov 17 2021

Hello! Larisa here and today I'm sharing two holiday cards featuring the NEW A Wreath for all Seasons Stamp! This beautiful stamp is the perfect addition to your cards and it's so versatile! For my first card, I started with a black piece of cardstock and trimmed it to fit an A2 sized card. Then I stamped out my image and heat embossed it with gold embossing powder. On top of that I added a strip of black and white patterned paper from my stash. After stamping and coloring up Beautiful Girl Jill, I die cut her out using the coordinating die and added her to the left of my card with some foam tape. I also tucked a bit of iridescent twine behind her for added texture. A few sequins and a "Merry Christmas" sentiment finish this card off! For my next card, I chose some fun and whimsical colors to work with on this vertical design. I stamped my image out in teal ink on light blue card stock. Then I trimmed it to fit my card base. Then I die cut and paper pieced my little gnome adding some detail with Copic Markers. Across the bottom, I combined two different stamped sentiments in two different colors to add some interest to my card. A few sequins and a fuzzy pom pom on my gnomes had finish this fun little card.

One Set, Two Ways!

by Larisa Hohman on Oct 06 2021

Hello! Larisa here and today, I'm sharing two very different cards using the same stamp set: Winter Has Come To Town. I love to stretch my supplies and come up with creative ways to use them! Today, I'm showing you how to use one set two ways! For my first card, I stamped out the village scene using black ink. Then I colored it up using Copics. For the sky, I added some distress inks and then popped up my sentiment with foam tape. A pretty simple card that packs a colorful punch! For my second card, I stamped the village scene again, but this time, I used light grey ink. Then I stamped out my sentiment using red ink and used a black pen to add some shadows. I paired the NEW Winter Scene Building People to my scene and colored them up with Copics. A bit of foam tape, helps them stand out in the scene. Then I layered the whole thing on some dark green card stock. I just love that both of the cards use the same stamp set, but look so different! Thanks so much for stopping by!

I stamped out the grouped animal image, colored it using Copic Markers and cut it out using the coordinating die. Using foam tape, I added it to the right side of the card. On the left side, I stamped my sentiment in black ink. For the final touch, I added several tiny snowflakes from the NEW Santa Is Here Slim Line Die Cutting System Insert. My next card is a fun little back-to-school scene that features two of the little cuties from the NEW Your Next Book Dear Stamp Set. To create this card, I stamped out the NEW Medley of Fall Collage Stamp in red ink on orange paper. Then I trimmed that into a square. Across the bottom, I added a skinny piece of grey card stock. On top of that some die cut grass. Then I stamped out my images, colored them up with Copics, and cut them out using the coordinating dies.

Hello! Larisa here and today, I'm sharing bold and bright cards that are sure to grab your attention. Both feature products from the new release and both have vivid pops of color that catch your attention! My first card features the NEW Mail's Here Stamp. To begin, I stamped out the Raining Envelopes Stamp a couple of times. This Building Backgrounds stamp is perfect because it lines up perfectly. You can stamp it and infinite number of times to create any sized background! I colored my background using a light teal Copic Marker (BG10). Then I added a strip of red polka dot paper to the bottom and trimmed it to fit my card base. I also layered the panel on some light grey card stock and trimmed to fit. For the hello sentiment, I die cut it in bright blue card stock and blue foam. I adhered the two layers together and added them to the card panel just above the polka dot paper. I love the dimension this technique adds! Then, I stamped out the Mail's Here image, colored it up to match, and cut it with the coordinating die. After adhering that to the panel, I also added "my dear friend" sentiment just below it from the More Fancy Sentiments Stamp set. For my next card, I decided to create a shaker card using the NEW Purple-Rita Sequin Mix. I started with a piece of purple card stock and added some tulle to the top of it. I stitched down the sides with my sewing machine and filled it with my sequins. Then I used the Netting Cover Plate to cut a piece of white card stock and I adhered that to my card panel only in the center of the card where I knew the glue would be covered. I stamped out the Lilies For Spring and Kylee Girl images, colored them up, and cut them out using the coordinating dies.
