Sunny Studio - Mug Hugs

Hello, MarkerPOP friends! It is Jessi here. My husband surprised me with a trip to Colorado last week and I got to stick my hand in some snow! So coming back to reality and 80+ degrees, I found myself dreaming of a hot cup of chocolate back in snowy Colorado!

I decided to cave into the cravings with the adorable Sunny Studio's Mug Hugs stamp set:

I started with a solid white cardstock and stamped the mug images all over the card. To cover in some of the empty spaces, I stamped a snowflake image and the tiny heart image also included in the Mug Hugs stamp set.

I wanted the card to remain simple. However, I wanted to add some color to the card. I used the Red Zig Clean Color marker to color in the hearts. I used the Stella Wink - Clear to add the glittery sparkle to the snowflakes and the top of the heart. The sentiment phrases were stamped onto the front of each mug.

Please stop by the MarkerPOP blog for the list of supplies used to create this card.

Thank you for stopping by! Have a great day!

Dear Santa

Happy Saturday, Pink & Main friends! Today we are suppose to reach 90 degrees here in my part of Texas. So I declare today a good day to dream of snow. And the closest I am going to get to that is to work with some of Pink & Main's winter stamp sets!

For today's project, I am working with Santa Mail and Oh, Deer stamp sets:

I wanted to create a fun scene using one of the elf images. The image is stamped onto white cardstock. I also stamped the same image onto a masking sheet. The image is cut out of the masking sheet and placed on top of the image on the cardstock. I used a distress ink to create the sky coloring. Once I was done, I peeled the masking piece off. The image is colored in using colored pencils. I also added a snowy hill below the image, using the Scalloped Waves dies. I also used the Stitched Rounded Rectangles die to cut out the scene. The scene is attached to a kraft card base. I also added a few clouds to add more detail to the scene. To fill in the empty space, I used the snowflakes from the Oh, Deer stamp set and stamped around the scene. A simple sentiment is stamped at the bottom of the card.

Thank you for stopping by today! Have a great one!

You're So Cool!

Pretty Cute Stamps - Anything Goes Challenge

Today starts a new Pretty Cute Stamps Challenge! This month the challenge is 'Anything Goes'!

 



I used the very cute Gingerbread House stamp set for my card today. 

 

This large image is easy to color with markers. Once the image was colored in, I used a white gel pen to 'add' snow to the top of the gumdrops. I wanted to keep the card pretty simple. So I rounded the corners to add a special touch to the card.

Warm Winter Wishes

Happy Saturday, Pink & Main friends! I know that parts of the country have already seen snow. But down here along the Texas Gulf coast, we always hope to be able to see snow. At least hopefully one time per year. I personally, would love to see snow more often!

When I first saw the new stamp set, Grandma's Lace, I thought of snowflakes. So I decided to created a winter themed card using the stamp set.
 

  

I stamped the variety lace design with white ink on the bright blue cardstock. The sentiment is from the Scarlett stamp set and stamped onto a pendant diecut.  This is a very simple cardstock to create.

 

 

Thank you for stopping by today! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Pink & Main Winter Scarlett Card

Happy Saturday, Pink & Main friends! I am running a little behind today! But I am finally able to post today's project! 

Today I am using the new Scarlett stamp set and coordinating dies. When I saw the name of this sweet girl, I insistently thought of using different shades of red. However, I recently saw a snowflake card and thoughts blues would be great.

Scarlet is stamped on white cardstock and cut out using the coordinating die. I colored the image with a variety of markers. To form the card, I simply stamped the sentiment onto the card. I randomly stamped snowflakes (from the Scarlett and Cocoa Cafe stamp sets). The girl is attached using a foam dot. To fill in some of the empty spaces, I used some white sequins. 

Thank you for stopping by today! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

You Can Never Have Enough Texture!

Hello, DCWV friends! It is Jessi here from Kissin' Krafts! I know that most of the country is preparing for a huge arctic blast, so don't shoot me, when I say I want snow! However, living near the Gulf Coast in Texas, the likelihood is low. But a girl can dream right?

In the spirit of snow, I create this fun card using a variety of DCWV products!

 

One thing I love to do is to add a variety of textures to cards.  To start off with, I created the back layer with a kraft cardstock and embossed cardstock combo. The main focus of the card is a printed pocket style design. To highlight the scene, it is matted onto bright red burlap paper.

 

 

To cover the seam where the two cardstocks connect, I used snowflake punches to the card. The finishing touch to the card is to add the mirrored heart embellishment that matches the heart in the snowman print.

 

 

Isn't fun how different materials and different textures to your project? Check out the shoot below to see the card laying flat.

 

 

Thank you for stopping by today! Have a wonderful day!

Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft and DCWV Blog Hop

 

 

 All week long we are partnering with Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft®  for a Winter blog hop! I am excited to be a part of this fun hop, today! There are many prizes to be won so make sure you stop by both blogs and each DT blog each day! 

 

On to my project! I created this window-style card below, using the DCWV Winter in the Woods Stack.

 

 

To start off, I knew that I wanted to have snowflakes on my card. I used a snowflake punch to create the flakes. I covered each one with the Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft® Glass Bead Glitter Gel.

 

 

Now it is time to create the layers of the card! I found this beautiful snowflake patterned paper (below) and colored it with a few strokes of the Metallic Mint Double Scoop Gelatos. I used a small piece of a baby wipe to blend the color around. 

 

I found a cute deer on one of the papers in the Winter in the Woods Stack. I decided to fussy-cut the image out. To add the effect of snow, I added Glitter Glass Bead Gel to the back and the head of the deer. Once the gel was dried, it was time to piece together the card.  To create the window, I used an oval diecut on the top layer of the card.

 

Don't forget to leave them some love; leave a comment on the DCWV and on the Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft®  blog to be eligible to win this weeks prizes!
