Holiday Foliage With Bright Colors

September 8, 2019

Hey peeps. I’m so excited as I received my first Simon Says Stamp Stamptember order. I couldn’t wait to play with this gorgeous stencil called Holiday Foliage from Simon Says Stamp. As soon as I saw it on the site I knew I wanted to pull out my Therm O Web Deco Foil transfer gel so I could foil with rainbow foil from Therm O Web. Using the Holiday Foliage stencil and the deco foil transfer gel afforded me the opportunity to make something amazing.

This product is so easy to use. All you need to do is smooth on some of the transfer gel through a stencil, peel off the stencil and your design off to the side to dry. Once it is dried (it will go from a creamy white to a shiny clear coating) you are ready to foil. Shifting the rainbow foil to all use a portion of the colors was perfect for this design. To adhere the foil to the design I ran this it through my laminator and then the giggled began. As I peeled back the foil to reveal my design I could of burst with happiness. I mean, who wouldn’t love their holiday foliage to be in these colors?

Keeping my panel very simple to not distraction is a perfect way to show this design element. To keep my panel from laying directly onto my card base, I trimmed it down and placed it on some fog card stock from Simon Says Stamp. Next I ran my joyful die from Simon Says Stamp through my Gemini Jr. using the Therm O Web foam adhesive sheet. I peeled off the protective covering and applied some gold deco foil over it.

Now it was time to bring more gold on my card so I trimmed a strip of foam adhesive and covered it with gold deco foil. Placing it neatly down the side of the design piece I was able to bring the design all together. I place everything on a white card base and added faux stitching around the foliage piece for some added interest.

I truly love how this came out and I can’t wait to make more background with this stencil and Therm O Web products. To see more projects using Therm O Web products, you can click my Therm O Web gallery. Thanks for stopping by today. See you back here soon.

Papertrey Ink Fawn & Flora Stamps and Dies

December 17, 2018

Hey peeps. I’m finishing up some last minute cards for family and friends. I had purchased a few stamp sets last month from Papertrey Ink and I’m determined to use them before the holiday season is over. So today I’m sharing the Fawn and Flora stamp and die set. This is such a beautiful deer and it layers amazingly.

I used Memento inks in desert sand, new sprout, bamboo leaves, angel pink, ladybug, Lawn Fawn doe ink and Gina K Design amalgam inks.

After I die cut out this adorable deer I paired it up with some knit picky pattern paper from Lawn Fawn. I stamped out the sentiment in versa mark ink and used white embossing powder to heat set. Lastly I added some homemade red enamel dots.

Thanks for stopping by. I’ll see you back here soon!

Hey peeps. We are down to the wire on the holiday card series. I hope you have enjoyed and been inspired by the videos you have seen this year.

I can’t believe I’m already to day 11 and having used a stamps set with my last name on it. 😉 I have an additional video using these inexpensive watercolor palettes from Amazon.

Holiday Card Series 2018 – Day 10

November 26, 2018

Hey peeps. Holiday Card Series 2018 Day 10 is upon us and this one might just be my favorite. Instead of doing a card today I’m sharing with you a holiday treat to give out to family and friends. The Pot Bellies from Papertrey Ink is such a cute little die cut to make the cutest little treat holders.

These little penguins are so easy to put together and making them in different colors is the perfect way to indiviualize them for your recipients. There is also a Santa and I think a reindeer available over at Papertrey Ink.
