Winter Wishes

 Hello my crafty friends! Let's say goodbye to this 2022 with a Winter card featuring some old and new Scrappy Tails Crafts goodies.


I started cutting a base from a peacock cardstock, I embossed it with a folder from my stash and I passed some statue Distress foundry wax.

I then die cut a two hearts from white cardstock with the "Scalloped Heart add-on" die set. I left the scalloped one in white and I ink blended the other with spun sugar, kitsch flamingo and lumberjack plaid Distress Oxide inks and I splattered with clean water and tone on tone inks.

I also die cut a cute snowman from the "Layering Snowman Duo with Christmas Tree" dieset and some other pieces from the "A7 Storefront Gingerbread House add-on" die set and I colored them with alcohol markers.

I put everything together and I stamped a sentiment from the "German Winter Village"  stamp set in red.


Here are some close-ups.


That's all for today! I hope you'll enjoy the card.

I wish you an amazing new year, full of joy, love and colors!

Big hugs, Silvia.

TRINITY STAMPS 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS: BOX CARD

Hi there and welcome to the twelveth day of Christams hosted by Trinity Stamps! Today we are going to inspire you with some box card and I hope you'll enjoy them.

For my box card I started cutting two panels from red cardstock with the biggest die from the "A-7 Modern Embossed Layers" set and I scored the both at 5,5" and   6,75".

I then used the "Santa Mug" die to cut a window in one of the panel. I also die cut two creamy topping from white cardstock and a gingerbread man from kraft cardstock.

For the inside of the card I cut a white panel, I ink blended it with broken china, uncharted mariner and prize ribbon Distress Oxide inks and I splattered with clean water, tone on tone inks and white and bronze acrylic paints.

I decided to create a wintery landscape, so I die cut a white house and some trees with the smallest pieces from the "Snowglobe Card" die set.

I put everything together and I added an embossed sentiment stamped with the "Simply Sentimental-Holidays" stamp set. I added some "Bubblemint Candy Sprinkles" embellishment mix here and there and that's all.

"BOO!" HALLOWEEN CARD WITH TIM HOLTZ

Hello there and welcome back to my blog! I have a Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Halloween card to share with you today and I hope you’ll enjoy it.

Do you remember this background I post on my Instagram some days ago?


It turned out like this.

I love making Halloween cards and I was so in love with Stacy Hutchinson’s moon background (you can find her tutorial here) that I had to try to redo it.

For the color combo I chose black soot Distress Spray Stain and the burning ember  and harvest moon Distress mica stain by Ranger Ink. 

I then created my scene mixing together the “Slimline Spooky Scene Builder” die set by Trinity Stamps and the “Gate Keepers” die by Tim Holtz/Sizzix, I ink blending all the pieces with weathered wood and black soot Distress Oxide inks and I applied on them some Distress grit paste-Crypt.

For the sentiment I used black cardstock, Crypt grit paste and a Hello Bluebird die.

Next I stamped the mummy from Stampers Anonymous “Unraveled“ stamp set, I watercolored it with Zig Clean Color Real brush markers and I fussy cut it.

I put everything together and this is what it came out.


That's all for today. Thank you very much for passing by and I really hope you like this card.
I wish you an amazing day and send you big hugs. Silvia.

I die cut the adorable snowmen from the Lawn Fawn "Build a Snowman” die set and I colored them with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers.

I also die cut two mugs from different shades of pink textured canvas cardstock with the "Stitched Mug Frame” die set and two white whipped cream with “Stitched Cupcake” die set.

I ink blended the inside of the mugs and the cream with some pink Distress Oxide inks, I darkened with vintage photo Distress Oxide ink and I splattered with white, gold, pink and light blue Distress paints.

I die cut the “Giant Merry Christmas” die set twice from two different shades of  aqua  textured canvas cardstock and I put everything together.

That’s all! I hope you’ll enjoy this card as much as I do.
