Believe in the magic of Christmas

Hello! I LOVE LOVE LOVE how this card turned out. :) I think it's the first time I've made a spinner element. So fun! I used the adorable Reindeer Games and matching dies by Mama Elephant for my spinner reindeer. I colored him and my little scene with my Copics. I made the scene with the tree from the Reindeer Games set as well. I masked off the circle for the scene and colored it. 

I used the AWESOME NEW Stitched Postage Frame Dies from MyCreativeTime. Seriously, these dies are so cool...and I think they're my new fave! :) I also used the Bunch Of Fun Circles Dies by MyCreativeTime for the circle in the front of the card, and for the masking on the inside. The greetings on the outside and inside are from the Boughs Of Holly set by MyCreativeTime. I used the Diagonal Stripe Stencil by SimonSaysStamp for the red on the front. OH, and I used clear thread that I got at Michaels for the spinner. :) 

I hope you have a FANTASTIC day!!!

p.s. It's so fun to watch that little reindeer spin! :)

Celebrate the season

Hello! It's day one of the new Holiday Style class at OnlineCardClasses. I was inspired by the clean and simple masked card Julie made. So I masked off the edges of my card, and used the Boughs Of Holly set by MyCreativeTime to make the little pine bough scene. I used 2 ink colors, and second generation stamping to get the depth of color. The greeting is from the new Holiday Tags Stamp And Die set also by MyCreativeTime. To finish it off, I drew around the masked area with a fine tip pen. I really liked how my design turned out, so I made the same card 2 other ways...

I used the same exact colors on this card, but it looks a lot different because it's stamped on white. Dig it. :) And then...I had to neon-ify this design...

Ahh, neon. How I love thee. Here I added some black stamping to give it a more graphic look. I think I may like this one the most. :) And because these are all one layer, no extra postage! Score! 

I hope you're having a HAPPY day!

Merry and BRIGHT ;)

Hello! Yesterday was all about one layer cards in class at OnlineCardClasses. Here is my neon creation. :) For this first card I used a deer die from the Oh Deer set by MyCreativeTime to create a mask. I cut it from Post-It paper. I also used post it paper to mask off a rectangle for my focal point. then I masked off stripes and sponged on neon green and neon pink Hero Arts inks.  

The greeting is from the Boughs Of Holly set from MyCreativeTime. And since I had the stuff out, I made another card. This one isn't one layer...

I used the positive deer mask from the other card on this one. I glued it down and covered it with glossy accents. I used the Grainy Wood Background and neon green ink for the card base. 

The greeting is from an old Market Street Stamps set called Shine On. I added pink noses to both deer...with wink of stella and glossy accents. :)

I hope you have a HAPPY weekend!
