O' Christmas Tree

Good morning friends. Can you believe Christmas is in one week? I decided to make a few more cards because really this is my favorite time of the year. A couple of weeks ago I used this set and made a Christmas tag. Today I am using it for a card. I stamped 2 different banners using the set

CELEBRATE THE SIMPLE

I also used one of the stamps from
A LITTLE BIT WASHI

I colored the banners with Copic markers
G05, G07, R27

I added a sentiment and a couple of red twine bows to finish the front of the card off.

I just love using this set for Christmas tree's. The Washi stamp made a perfect tree trunk.

I hope you enjoyed my post today.

I want to wish each of you a Merry Christmas and a very Blessed New Year.

A Christmas Gnomey

Good morning friends. Larissa here with a gnome Christmas. By now you know how much I love this little gnome. I could not wait to get started on Christmas with him. 

So today I stamped him on a piece of 110 lb white cardstock and colored him with my Copic markers. I used for his skin E000, E00 and R20. For his suit I used R24, R27, R29 and a little R39. For his hair I used C3. and finally I used G28 to color the little flower in his hand. 

I used a piece of pattern paper and matted it with a piece of red cardstock. I adhered everything to a white card. 

I already plan on using him on a lot more Christmas things. So watch for him.
Thank you for stopping by today and checking out my post.
Don't forget to come back this week and see what amazing creations the rest of the Design Team does.
Have a wonderful rest of your week.

I then used the UmWow Studio Heart Confetti Mask and sponged ink over the top. 

I finished the card off by adding a little chipboard heart with a sentiment from the set Grandma's Needlepoint.

One Day At A Time

 

 Do you like to keep track of your weekly appointments and small details? I love to carry a planner and document all the little things. This week I want to share a double page  I made using stamps and paper from Susan K Weckesser products.This reminds me of my daily week in my neighborhood, watching the birds and enjoying the sunshine.

 

Sing your Song

A Little Bit Washi  

Painted Sentiments

Fly Away

Aren't these fun stamps? Let me share some steps along the way to finishing this double layout.

My blank pages- I always add a layer of Gesso to prep them.

 
Our team at Susan K Weckesser were given some wonderful paper from Coredinations Color Core to use and one stack I received was one of my favorite.

  I distressed with a sanding block and then used ink around the edges.

I stamped and water colored the images quickly and didn't worry about the lines because I fussy cut them all.

Here are all the pieces added to my pages and some of the details close up.

 

Did you notice I used one other Susan K Weckesser stamp set? I love using the Stamped Sentiments in my journal pages and I also use the Susan K Weckesser paper with labels from Live In Color Tags to write notes during the week.

Birds of a feather with Susan K Weckesser/Studio 12

 Hi everyone, Tracy here today to share a quick project using 

one of the stamp sets that Susan K Weckesser designed for Studio 12 over at Polkadoodles and is available in the UK, woohoo!

It`s a cutie.

I will apologise in advance as I don`t have any step by step pictures today, but this is super easy to recreate, promise.

 Just start with a quick layer of Gesso over an off cut of wood, leave to dry or if you are impatient like me ... then blast it with your heat tool.

 Get out your Pan Pastels in 2 colors and apply all over the block of wood, apply some white Pan Pastel next and finish with a little Black Pan Pastel around the edges.

 Time to ink up the stamp using an Archival ink pad and color with Watercolor paints. To add more definition I went around the outline with a black liner pen, adding a few doodles along the way.

 Stamp the little birdie a second time and cut out the wing to make it look more 3D.

 Next I stamped the sentiment onto card, chopped it up and applied a little Walnut Stain Distress Ink with a blending tool around the edges.

I fixed them in place with a hot glue gun and added a few more doodles.

Can you see the text on the left . . . I applied Pan Pastel to a script stamp that I won from  

Unity Stamp Co recently { woohoo}and  randomly stamped it over the block of wood.

To finish a touch of a Clear Embossing pad followed by some Cosmic Shimmer Embossing powder for a little touch of texture.

Thank you so much for taking the time to look.

Till next time

Happy Crafting

"Making Faces" - scrapbook page with a little paint, stenciling, and stamps

Hello Friends! JJ here again, to share a scrapbook layout with you:

I started out by stenciling with white paint, using Susan's borders stencil.  Just enough to create a little extra movement in the background (because Susan's gorgeous papers already have plenty of depth!)  I die cut the green paper in a whimsical shape, just for fun.

Then I added a few more pieces of paper, doodled some stitches, and added stamped clouds, using the "Create Your Day" stamp set.  (I admit, the cloud is a favorite of mine).

The "Say Cheese" sentiment is from the "Insta-cute" stamp set, and I stamped it on a scrap of Susan's papers, ensuring that it would match perfectly with the rest of the layout.

A few little embellishments glued down with Helmar 450, and I was ready to go.

Thanks for visiting!
