Sometimes I cut out multiple pieces of a design I’ve created with my Silhouette Cameo. This way I can create different versions easily and quickly. The cutting file on this card is from yesterday’s card. Just scroll down to the post below to see how different it can look. I used my new distress ink colors to create a marbled background for the heart window.
Supplies: Designer Woodgrain by Hero Arts. Peacock Feathers and Picked Raspberry Distress Inks by Ranger.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I have a card to share with you today before I get my New Year’s Day dinner in the crock pot. Last night I tried to make a festive card for today but it just wouldn’t come together. So I put that aside and designed a Silhouette Cameo card instead. It’s really easy to quickly weld words to shapes in the Studio software. The font for the word “LOVE” is called Impact and the one for the “U” is called Wendy. I received the Charles Cuttlebug embossing folder for Christmas so I had to try it out on a piece of vellum. I think it looks very pretty on a Valentine’s Day card.
Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! I received some Hero Arts Neon Inks as a gift from my Hubby, and I couldn’t wait to use them!!! They’re so bright and the coverage is very smooth. The colors match my Astrobrights cardstock perfectly. The sentiment and hearts are from the Year Round Sentiments CL582 by Hero Arts. I also received some yummy new distress inks to add to my collection. I’ll be sharing some cards using them sometime soon. Did any of you receive new cardmaking supplies that you’re excited about?
I wanted to share one last Christmas card and take this opportunity to thank those that visit my blog. I really appreciate when you drop by for a peek and especially when you leave a comment. I hope your home and hearts will be filled with LOVE at this very special time of year! HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!!!
I haven’t played along in one of the Simon Says Stamp challenges in a while. So I’m submitting this into their Anything Christmassy challenge.
Supplies
Stamps: CL540 and CL106 Fantastic Flourishes by Hero Arts
Pencils: Derwent Watercolour
Here we are on #9 of our CTS challenges, time sure does fly by quickly! Today we have a sketch I created. It works well turned in any direction. You could hang ornaments, turn it upside down and use trees or flowers or turn it sideways and they become branches. You could get funky and create something abstract. I decided to embrace my new-found LOVE for washi tape and create a vibrant and fun Christmas card.
The CTS Design Team has created a huge variety of wonderful cards to share with you! Hop on over and take a peek, maybe you’ll see something that will spark your imagination!!! Hope you’ll play along before we go on our Holiday break!
Stamps Used: No Peeking and Holly Jolly by There She Goes
Yesterday I tried my hand at the chalkboard technique, today I created a trendy neon card. Over at the Moxie Fab World Cath is running a super cool Keen on Neon challenge. Neon is so bright and happy it was a lot of fun working with these colors! I created the negative and positive cuts with my Silhouette Cameo. The big bold blocky font is called Impact and the script is called Honey Script. Hope everyone is enjoying their week!
I’m back to making one layer Christmas cards that are suited for easy mailing. This card was a lot of fun and quick and easy to create. I placed a mask of the tree on my card front and then stamped the background. I removed the mask and then stamped the tree. Then I placed a coordinating piece of washi tape onto the card. (By the way, I’m new to washi tape and I LOVE this stuff!!!) Then I ran the card through my Cuttlebug with a border embossing folder. I stamped the sentiment last. Are you making your holiday cards this year?
Stamps Used: CL540 and CL343 by Hero Arts, D1190 Weathered Backgrounds by CTMH
Just a quick little post today to share a card I made for 2 challenges. The color palette is from the Dynamic Duos challenge #32 and CASology has a Sparkle theme this week. The shape I used is from a die set from Lifestyle Crafts called Tabs (Large) REV-0001. I cut out the trees from the Merry paper pad by My Minds Eye. The sentiment is from CL343 by Hero Arts. Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!
