I can’t wait to use the Beautiful Birds in this set, but I was drawn to that Big Bird Nest with those beautiful eggs all nestled in, so that is where I started. After stamping the nest and coloring the eggs with copics, I used a few colored pencils to add more color to the nest. Ink Blending the sky and stamped the branch and flowers in Whisper then colored everything with copics.

For this card I colored in Copic stamped the Nest in two colors and finished it with PrismaColor Pencils. Did a little Ink Blending on the background too. Here is a list of items used:

Next I couldn’t wait to make an Easter card for my Grandkids. The Some Bunny stamp set from Beth Silaika was just what I needed. I did a little ink blending for the sky and grass. The fence is one I have had in my stash that I did a little ink dragging and die cut then layered them up for a sturdy fence. I added a little flower from Lisa Hetrick’s Fearless Joy set.

Gina K. Designs Monthly Mix Challenge – Christmas In July

Hi Everyone, I am so glad you have stopped by!

I am joining in on the fun challenge this month over at Gina K. Designs. Sheri Gilson is hosting this Months Challenge. She has Challenged us to make a Christmas Card. I can’t believe Christmas will be here before we know it.

I am still planning my fall garden and getting things ready for that. So I am wanting time to slow down just a bit so we can enjoy a little more of the summer. The Dog Days are coming and I am sure I’ll be ready for fall come the end of August! LOL.

Here is the card I made for the Challenge. I think I will make a few more of these to send out. ❤

This card is a A2 4 1/4″ X 5 1/2″ card. The focal panel with the snowflakes is 3 3/4″ X 5″ . I used my embossing buddy to clean off any oil that might have been on the card. I then placed it in my Misti and arranged my snowflakes. Inked them up with Gina K. Designs Embossing Ink and stamped them. Added my GKD Silver embossing powder and heat set it. Stamped the greeting and heat embossed it as well. Attached the Silver Metallic panel with connect glue and the greeting with foam squares. Added a layer of the silver card stock and a white layer to the inside and stamped the smaller snowflake in Soft Stone Premium Dye Ink on the bottom left corner.

Christmas In July

Here are the items I used for this card.

You still have time to join in this months challenge and there is (3) $25.00 gift cards for prizes. So come play along and you can find the details here > Gina K. Designs . Hope you have a great day and take a little time to get inky! ❤

Ok, Let me share the cards made with this Fabulous Card Kit and other goodies! ❤

This one showcases this beautiful tree & Snowfall Stencil in the Christmas Silhouette Stamp Set that is in the Warm Winter Wishes Card Kit. I also used the Greeting from the Christmas Script Stamp Set. Laying the Snowfall stencil down over a piece of card stock and then inked it up with my Embossing Ink Pad. Once I removed the stencil and added the Gold Embossing powder I Die cut the center out with the Largest Single Stitched Oval Die. On another piece of card stock I stamped the tree and heat embossed it in the same gold embossing powder. Took Velum from my stash and heat embossed the greeting in the gold powder too. Wrapped the ends around the top layer and secured them on the back. Using foam squares I popped up the top layer on to the layer with the tree. Added that all to my card base. You could easily emboss the tree on the card base and save a piece of paper. I used a piece of Gold Metallic Card Stock and then layered it with a piece of white. There was a small strip of the Snowfall that I had cut off and saved, so I attached to the inside. You can see it in the photo below. I added red bling from my stash to finish it off ! ❤

These are the items used for this card:

What can I say… I love this snowman. ❤ On this card and Envelope set I created some snow hills for my snowman. Stamped him on a separate sheet of paper in the Whisper Amalgam ink and colored him with Copic markers. Then I stamped the taller tree and the little pine tree that is in You Warm My Heart stamp set. Blended ink on the background and used my Misti for the Greeting! Finished it off with the little hearts and popping up my snowman and added his arms. He is fussy cut and I had to draw in his little arms. 🙂 On the Envelope front, I ink blended the blue and added the same trees to the bottom left corner. Then used the To: from the stamp set Christmas Script. And for the back side of the envelope, I die cut the envelope image from the stamp set and colored it with copic markers Stamped the little greeting on the flap and glued down one edge of the die cut envelope. I will secure it will glue when I mail the card off! ❤

Here are the Supplies for this card:

https://linkdeli.com/widget.js?1559654439292

What fun the Glitz Glitter Gel has been! ❤ One this card there is Glitz, There is Glitter and a Big Greeting! I sprayed the stencil with Pixie Spray & placed it down on a piece of card stock, kinda off set. Then grabbed a spatula and spread Gina K. Designs Glitz Glitter Gel in Red Velvet all over. Gently picked up the stencil and cleaned it off. While that dried I took a piece of card stock and put down a piece of Terrific 1/2” then a 1/8” . Cut even with the paper and peeled off the backing of the terrific tape and poured some Red Hot glitter over it. Heat Embossed the Greeting in White Fine Detail Embossing powder on Red Velvet Card Stock and layered with White! Popped it up in the center! ❤

Items used on this sparkly card are below:

** https://linkdeli.com/widget.js?1559654439292**

This one was a real quick card to make! I used the Embossing Ink and Stamped the three beautiful snowflakes from the set all over and heat embossed in White Fine Detail Powder. Die cut a Double Stitched Circle and did a little ink blending around the edges. Stamped one of the snowflakes in Sandy Beach then stamped the greeting in Kraft.
