Handmade Paper Hugs

  Hey everyone! Just before Christmas I shared a couple of cards on my Instagram that I have colored all in Copics and I promised I would share the combos. On this card I used 2 different digital stamps from Make it Crafty, that sadly have closed. Sentiment is from Purple Onion. Copics used: Sky: BG15, G00, BG01, Y00 Trees: YG03, YG17, YG67, BG78 Snow: BG01, BG000 Dirt: E74, E79 Dress, snowman scarf+hat: R89, R85, R83 Scarf, hat, gloves: V17, RV95, RV93, RV91 Jacket, boots: 100, C9, C7, C5 Hair: E53, E55, E23, E35 Skin: E04, E11, E21, E00 + R32 Eyes: BG15, BG01, BG000 White Gelly roll pen for snow details. The second and third card have a Stamping Bella Uptown girl on them, and I hand colored the backgrounds. I used tips from a video in the "Adventures in coloring with Amy" Facebook group, and I really incourage you to check it out. This is SB Uptown Girl Zodiac Leo and the sentiment is from Newton's Nook Serene Silhouettes. Copics used: Sky: BG49, BG45, BG53, BG10, BG000...

Hi guys! Today I'm sharing a custom made anniversary card. Here in Denmark we celebrate big at 12½ years. Copper anniversary we call it. So you see why there had to be copper on this one. I white heat embossed the Simon Says Stamp Heart to Heart background stamp, spritzed with water and added Nuvo shimmer powder. The pink one. So gorgeous! Don't play with these often enough! I love the different shades from very suttle to very bright, and the SHIMMER! Doesn't show here too well, you'll have to take my word for it. The happy couple (Creative expressions/Sue Wilson) was cut from some Tonic white shimmering cardstock (that I've had for ages). I thought it would give it just a bit of uuumpf! The edges of the base and that Danmore hobby 12½ circle on vellum was heat embossed using WOW! Copper sparkle. Both sentiment and banner die are from Simple and Basic, heat embossed using Altenew Golden peach embossing powder. Thanks for stopping by! Stay safe, and happy crafting! T...

  Hey everyone! Today I'm sharing a bunch of super cute and fun santa cards I made for the Danish Operation write home. The images were already colored so they actually came together really quick. Products used: Clearly Besotted Santa baby Clearly Besotted Laugh out loud Christmas Hello Bluebird Photo stack die Simon says stamp Ho ho ho stencil Ranger Tim Holtz Candied apple Distress ink Copic markers First though, I wanna show you the first background I made for these. I used My favorite things All lined up background stamp and, honestly, I just didn't like it. So I changed directions and used the SSS stencil instead. Let me know in the comments which is your favorite! Mine? Definately the last one with the cookies, YUM! 😉 Thanks for stopping by! Stay safe, and happy crafting! Tina

  Hey everyone! Can you believe it's December 😱 Honestly this year has flown by just as fast as 2020, in my opinion. But! Before we're ready to end the year we have one more challenge for you this year at AAA Birthday Blog , and our theme for the month of December is - Easel card!  Easel cards are pre-bent to stand up and show off their beauty. Easel cards can easily be made without dies (lots of tutorials on YouTube), but this time I chose to use the Poppystamps Adriana pop up easel set. It has a beautiful leafe ornament frame and a shaped base. I die cut the base from white cardstock and the base background from patterned paper (from a really old Joy! Creations pad). Before die cutting the ornament frame I covered my white cardstock with washi tape from Memory Box - Watercolor Forest Greenery. I find that using my bonefolder while layering it over really helps to smooth it out. The washi tape has holly, red berries and other winter greenery, but I believe holly, snow and de...
