You are beautiful to me

Today I'm showing you an interactive card I made for Craftin Desert Divas, using their digis:
Belle of the Ball and Beast Prince. I printed them on marker friendly paper, cut them out and used my alcohol  markers to color them. I then spritzed the dress with Shimmer spritz.

Then I inkblended a triangle on a panel, as if the party lighting. I chose two colors, but one spotlight color would also work of course.
I've used Distress inks Twisted Citron and Wilted Violet.
Then I cut a channel to make my slider.
I mounted the panel with foamtape and also the images. then I mounted it all onto the cardbase.

I have entered the card into the Moving parts challenge for the Male Room challenge.

You are beautiful to me is from the Beast Prince set.

Artist Trading Coins with Frosty Fairies

I made three more Artist Trading coins, for the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge (let it snow) and Wednesday Challenge ( all that glitters is gold) and showcasing Lawn Fawn.

So for my coins I watercolored half a sheet of watercolor paper 300grams in blue and lilac tones.
then added snow with splatters of white ink, snow effect from Viva Decor and the Simon Says Stamp falling snow stencil with the same ice effect, but as the coins are quite small I went for the lower bit on the stencil and now kinda wonder if it was worth the trouble haha...let it dry. I then diecut 2,5"circles and boy that ice effect turned out rock hard and difficult to cut, so I probably will add it last if I use more.

I then stamped the fairies from Lawn Fawn (frosty fairy friends) and used the matching dies to cut them out, I colored them with Illustrator and Copic markers. Added show  shimmer with a Nuvo glitter pen on the wings.
mounted the fairies with foamtape.
Added the sentiment with Versafine onyx black ink (same stampset) and placed the fairies. and then I added some glittery dew drops. the little tree thing is also a die from the same set. the twig with berries and I felt the only I could use to cut out a shape you'd recognize without stamping.

no glue Treat Triangles for tea and After Eight mints, with video and free pattern

Today's giftbox was heavily inspired by one from Pootles Papercrafts, but I've changed the size to fit my treats better and to fit on my cardstock better, but I loved her idea, and I've linked here above, so go check it out.

For my little box you need a piece of cardstock 4,1/2"high and 7"wide.
The finished box is 21/2"square and  about 1 1/2"wide at the bottom.
You score on the long side a: 21/2", 5"and 61/4".
on the short side at 1" from either side.

fold and burnish the score lines, remove bits as shown on the pattern.
Round the corners if you like, it makes closing the little boxes a bit easier, also looks nicer.
Add ribbon and or embellishments as you see fit.

Chilly time

Today I am using the Craftin Desert Divas digi set called Chilly time.
I've printed the images and cut them out, then colored them with my Alchol markers.

I've cut three circles in a panel and stamped the sentiments from Tis the season with Versafine Onyx black ink.

Inkblended behind the openings. with a blue mini inkblending tool, Distress oxieds Chipped sapphire mixed with Tumbled glass.

Mounted the panel with foamtape and tucked the penguins in and out of the circles using foamtape and or liquid glue.

You are golden

The Less is More challenge is metallic this fortnight.
I've used gold mirror card and gold rhinestones for my metal bits.

For the card I diecut Jij from glitter cardstock, mounted it with foamtape.
I made the sentiment in Photoshop as the new Karin Joan  set JIJ (kj1726) doesn't have it.
Cut it out and mounted it on the gold card.
The sentiment says literally "worth gold" with the JIj being you, so you're worth gold. But I think in English they'd say you're worth your weight in gold or you're golden. Anyway positive reinforcement.

For the cardbase/background I;ve applied Distress oxides through a stencil.

For more information on the Les sis More Challenge, see this.

Wasn't sure if glitter is "metallics" enough, so I changed my card from White glitter embossed snowflakes to this.

Today I'm showing how I made this card with the cutest little reindeer and it's sled.
It's Jingle sled digi from Craftin Desert Divas.
I colored it with my Spectrum Noir and Illustrator markers, cut it out.

For the background I inkblended Shaded Lilac and Tumbled glass Distress Oxides.
I used a white gel pen for some stars and water to splatter.
The sentiment is from Tis the season a clear set from Craftin Desert Divas as well and I used Broken China oxide to stamp it.

Mounted the deer with foamtape and adhered it to the card.
