Layers of Snow

Have you found yourself wishing you had placed an image in a different spot because now the greeting you had picked out wont fit and you do not want to remake the background. This happened with this card but no fear, problem solved with a little masking.

To make this card, I started with a white top folding A2 card base and a white panel. I created a background by masking off the bottom portion of the panel and then ink blending a little Wilted Violet and Savaged Patina distress inks.  

I stamped the bear from the Aprez Ski, colored him and cut him out with the coordinating die along with two additional ones for more dimension. 

I had a different sentiment picked out but because of where I placed the bear it would no longer work so, I used a sentiment from the A Tall Celebration set and made it work by masking off portions of the sentiment and adding the word snow at the end. 

Before I added the greeting and placed the bear, I spritzed the background with Beluga Solar Spray. 

Postage Party January Edition

Today's card is for the Postage Party monthly Instagram hop that a bunch of us crafters break out our postage sets and share some inspiration. 

To make my card, I started with a white top folding A2 card base, a Passionate Pink panel and a white panel cut down with a postage die from Master Layouts 14 from Gina K Designs. I used the Handpicked Flowers, Spring Clusters and Postcards & More stamp sets also from Gina K Designs.

This months focus was vellum so I added the postmark stamp and the sentiment embossed on vellum.

Happy Tuesday!

Today's card is also for my Team Tuesday post over on the My Sweet Petunia blog. Valentines is just around the corner and these Lawn Fawn stamps make such a cute card. 

To make this card, I started with a white top folding A2 card base, a white panel for the background and another white piece of cardstock for the images. I used the Mini MISTI so I could stamp all the images at once even though I may not use them all. 

I used the coordinating coloring stencils to color them, to do that I placed the panel with the stamped images on a Sticky Mat and then placed that on our Petunia Platform, then the Power Mag to hold it down as I add color. I cut them out with the coordinating dies.

 After I got them all cut out, I used the Master Layouts 15 by Gina K Designs to cut postage stamps to place them on. 

The heart background is from Concord & 9th and the sentiment is by Taylored Expressions. A bunch of different companies that came together nicely.
