Penguin on a sled

For today's card I've used one of the images from the Craftin Desert Divas Chilly Time set.
I printed it on marker friendly paper, cut it out and colored it with my alcohol markers.

I thought it would look like fun if the penguin was sliding down a hill.So I placed a piece of glitter card in the corner and applied some Distress Oxides Tumbled Glass for shading.
I've used the same ink for stamping the sentiment. That is from a Craftin Desert Divas Clear stampset called Tis the season.


Applied the penguin and hill  with liquid glue.

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.
