RAM Stamps Kookaburra and Koala Christmas

-

Hey everyone, here's another adorable RAM Stamps Christmas card using Kookaburra and Koala Christmas. 
Fun story - I traveled around in Australia for 4 months some 20 years ago, and we stayed in Airlie Beach (south of Townsville, Queensland) and we were woken up by a huge flock of Kookaburra laughing in the trees above the hut at 5.30 in the morning. Even then we were able to appreciate the experience that I imagine not many people get to have. Oh, and just for laughs, the Cockatoos took over about 30 minutes later 😂


I wanted a wreath around the image, so I die cut with a circle die. Believe it or not what's inside the wreath is Copic colored and outside the wreath is ink blended Cracked Pistacio Oxide ink. I used the MFT Joy wreath but it was way too small for my image. So I cut it twice, separated the leaves and built my own wreath. 

I added a sentiment from My Favorite Things - Joyful Christmas sentiment and a few gems.



Copics used:
E49, E44, E44, E42, E42 + B26, BG57, BG53, BG000 (Kookaburra) 
W5, W3, W2, W1 + 100, W9, W7
E41, E43, E44, G96 (gum tree) 
R24, R22, R20


Thanks for stopping by.
I wish you the most wonderful Christmas holidays.
Tina

Copic vedligeholdelse - hvordan & hvorfor

Billede
  Hej! Jeg laver ellers ikke blog på dansk, men men tænkte at der måske var nogle som kunne gøre brug af det.  Jeg har længe villet lave en blog post om Copic vedligeholdelse - også kendt som Copic spa day - og nu har jeg endelig fundet tid til det.  Det er en lang post, så hent en kop kaffe og sæt dig til rette.  For god ordens skyld gør jeg opmærksom på, at jeg viser min egen foretrukne metode og at alle holdninger er mine egne. Teksten må ikke kopieres eller gengives uden accept.  Først og fremmest - HVORFOR bør man bruge tid på at rengøre sine tuscher?  Du har endelig købt nogle tuscher, nogle ret dyre tuscher i min optik, og nu vil du bare farvelægge. Har jeg ret?  Rengøring af så mange tuscher tager lidt tid og jeg forstår fuldt ud, hvis nogle synes det er langsommeligt og spild af tid. Men hvad hvis jeg siger, at vedligeholdelse af dine Copic tuscher vil forlænge deres levetid og forbedre brugen af dem? Rengøring er essentielt for alle Copic-brugere, uanset hvor meget eller hvor

Masculine birthday card

Hey everyone, Today I'm sharing a masculine card. It seems to be something a lot of us strugle with, but since I had my oxide inks out (see post from yesterday) I ink blended one more panel using Faded jeans, Broken China and Cracked Pistacio. I just love this combo. I placed the panel in my Misti and prepped it with my antistatic powder tool before stamping the Simon Says Stamp Ornate background stamp. This is one of my all time favorite stamps and I keep going back to it. I often use my Versafine Onyx black and clear embossing powder, but for this I used Stampendous black embossing powder because it has a really gorgeous raised glossy look.  Just look at that shine! The TILLYKKE sentiment simply means congrats and is from Simple and Basic. I die cut it from black cardstock 4 times for dimension, and covered the top layer in WOW! embossing Vintage peacock glitter. TIP: The die does not come with a shadow, but i turned it upside down on a black

Pop-up how-to

  Hi friends, here's a how-to on my pop-up cards. Last summer I decided on finding a card design that was sort of interactive, yet not too dimensional, to make for the Danish Operation write home.  For those who don't know, the Operation write home delivers cards for military personnel to send home to their loved ones while deployed.  ~ My favorite things Mermazing, Elegant rectangle stax, Neat & Tangled Mermazing, Taylored Expressions Sweet scallop stencil The pop-up card design is not my original idea. It's been around for years, and I recall making one a looong time ago, but it was tedious and I didn't like the working process. But I recently saw Jennifer Mcquire make it this way, and I knew I had to give it a try. And once I'd made one they just flowed on out of my crafty quarters. They are really easy to make and add quite the dimension to the card. AND - they fold flat, which is absolutely perfect. ~ Whimsy stamps Whale of a time, Sunny Studios stamps Sea
