I added some Minnie Pearl Prills. The sentiment was heat embossed with Sparkle N Sprinkle Embers Microfine Glitter.

Peaceful Wishes was heat embossed with Sparkle N Sprinkle White Detail Embossing Powder. Layered beneath the Wild Orchid Crafts Poinsettia are Sue Wilson Christmas Robin, Sizzix Winter Foliage, Impression Obsession Pine Pair and Memory Box Holiday Twigs dies.

Scrapy Land Challenge #98 ~ Anything Goes

Hello, everyone and happy Wednesday!! I am going on vacation for two weeks, so I won't be able to comment until I come back on the 7th of October. I have a couple of posts scheduled while I'm away. It's time for a new challenge at Scrapy Land and the theme is Anything Goes featuring a brand of die Scrapy Land carries...there are over 55 to choose from.

I created two Christmas cards that are about as masculine as I can get :) I used papers from an old DCWV stack (I think).

I cut out a Memory Box Stitched Trees with a Memory Box Stitched Circles for the base of the card. The trees are Frantic Stamper Tall Pine Trees cut in sparkle paper. The deer family are Impression Obsession Dear Trio dies and they were popped up with foam tape for dimension.

Beneath the Wild Orchid Crafts poinsettia are Impression Obsession Pine Branch, Impression Obsession Pine Pair, Impression Obsession Pine Sprig Cluster and Memory Box Holiday Twigs dies. The sentiment is from Altenew, stamped on a Sue Wilson Pierced Flags .

In the background of the card is a Yvonne Creations Holly Jolly Frame. Inside the frame is a Tim Holtz Sizzix Thinlet Tree Line die.

Scrapy Land Challenge #54 - Give Thanks

Happy Wednesday!! I hope you are having a wonderful week!! It's time for a new challenge at Scrapy Land and the theme this week is Give Thanks Plus a brand of die that Scrapy Land carries...there are over 40 to choose from!! You could win a $15 gift certificate to shop at Scrapy Land .

I feel bad, but I can't give you very specific instructions on how I made these cards. I worked ahead before I left on vacation last month and as I sit here trying to do the write-up, I can't remember all the products that I used!! I will try though :) For the background, I created a mask of the moon with a Memory Box Stitched Circle die. I then added layers of Distress Ink (not sure of the colors...I know there was Squeezed Lemonade, Ripe Persimmon, Spiced Marmalade). I then flicked drops of water onto the ink. The tree line stamp is from Stampin' Up.

Along the side, a Poppystamps Leafy Sprig Border was layered over a Sizzix Tim Holtz Mixed Media Thinlet die. The gorgeous ribbon is from DL.ART. A Memory Box Circle Die was used for the sentiment, and leaves from Impression Obsession Small Leaf set were added.

The button on the ribbon is a Poppystamps Stitched Button die. Burlap was added behind the scene for added texture.

I totally can't remember at all how I created the rough bark texture on the Sizzix Tim Holtz Birch Tree Thinlet. I wish I could. I actually planned on doing a tutorial and it irritates me that I can't remember the steps. I know there was DecoArt Crackle Paste involved, but the rest I just can't recall.

The deer are Impression Obsession Deer Trio dies. They were popped up with foam tape for dimension.

Scrapy Land Blog Challenge #30 - Monochromatic

Happy Wednesday!! I hope you are having a wonderful week :) It's time for another fun challenge at Scrapy Land!! The theme this challenge is Monochromatic plus a brand of die that Scrapy Land carries...there are over 40 to choose from.

For my cards, I went totally monochromatic with all white for a winter wonderland scene. This also gave me a chance to use some of the tree dies I've been collecting...I have a slight obsession with tree dies :)

I started with a Die-Namites Winter Forest die in the back and popped it up with foam tape for dimension. Each successive layer is popped up with foam tape. The next layer is a Memory Box Evergreen Landscape die, and over that is a Memory Box Country Landscape die. I interspersed some Impression Obsession Fir Trees among the layers.

The deer family are Impression Obsession Deer Trio dies. Joy is from Memory Box. It was covered with sugar coating for sparkle. The stars are Memory Box Star of Wonder dies, and they were covered with sugar coating as well.
