Handmade Paper Hugs

Hey friends, today I'm sharing a card using Wondering Wabbit's Abbis mum . We'll, after seeing Abbis attitude I guess I can't blame Mum for her "mood poisening" 🤭 I just love these characters.  For this card I found an old piece of paper that I died with coffee. I had plans that it would still be visible after my play with Nuvo shimmer powders, but... Ack 🤷‍♀️ once I started there was no stopping me 🙈 I used Cherry bomb, Solar flare, Atlantis burst and Violet brocade.  Before doing that tough, I embossed the paper with Sunny Studios Sunburst embossing folder. Not that that's easy to spot.  I used one of the coordinating sentiments, and also My favorite things Little Letters dies.  Copics used  E13, E11, E21, E00, E000 E04, R24, R20, RV11, RV34 E57, E55, E53 E23, E59, E49 E44, E43, E42 BV04, BV13, BV02, BV01 W2 + RV13, RV21 *Ad / reklame* Since I'm on the design team.  Thanks so much for stopping by, and happy crafting!  Tina X 

  Hey everyone, I'm up on the Alex Syberia Designs blog today with a set of cute cards that can be used for either birthday or Christmas and I absolutely love that these stamps can be used for both! I'm using the Smile and Wave  stamps and dies along with the Smile die .  **Add, since I'm on the design team, but the opinions are my own** The cards were made in the same way. I lightly spritzed a bit of water on both sides of my cardstock, to prevent too much warping. I then carefully added my color burst powders, for the pink card I used Lindy's magical shaker Magnolia magenta gold. I really love the wimsical look and thought these backgrounds were perfect for these cute penguins riding their snowboards. Sigh! Just look at those "golden" spots, much more shimmery in real life. And I really love the pink and blue speks in there. These penguins are having snow much fun, pun intended.   I Copic colored the darling penguins and die cut them with the coordinating ...

  Hey everyone! Sharing a set of cards today. They were made in the same way.  Now, I colored these cuties from My favorite things first, and then created the backgrounds after so I would have coordinating colors. Remember to lightly spritz your watercolor paper on both sides, it won't stop warping completely but it will help so the paper doesn't just curls back on itself. And, although you can dry them with your heat tool I honestly prefer to let them air dry. In my opinion it makes a difference although techniccaly it shouldn't.   For the purple card I used Nuvo Lilac waterfall and Lindy's magical shaker Black forest. For the blue card I used Nuvo Atlantic burst and Lindy's magical shaker Bavarian blue. I have collected quite a few of these powderd and I love them all on their own, but they just create MAGIC! when used together. And the photos really don't do the shimmer any justice. The stamps are from My favorite things Warmest wishes and Winter buddies. I d...

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...

Hello! I had a couple of peaces left from the pink snowdrift card a few days ago, so I decided to use these on another card. I adhered the My favorite things Horizontal snowdrift frame covered in Nuvo shimmer powder on a panel of white cardstock. There was one pink snow drift left, and I used this as well. I stamped, Copic colored and fuzzy cut another bear from the MFT Polar bear pals set, as well as the party hat and presents from the MFT Beary special birthday set. I popped them up with foam squares. Copics used: W3, W1, colorless blender, RV14, RV13, RV21, RV00 I stamped parts of a sentiment from the Beary special birthday set. Then I added double sided tape to a piece of white cardstock and cut the "wishes" from the MFT. I peeled off the backing and covered the cut out with WOW! Bridal sparkles.  Tip: The WOW! Sparkles are not embossing powders, but amazing, sparkling glitter. Adhere it with double sided tape, bonding powder, or mix with ...

Hi there, Before we get started, get yourself a nice cup of coffee, this is a long post. Today was my daughter's last day as a kinder gartener. And in a little over a month she will start her first year of school. She's so excited! My husband and I can't understand this time has come already! But, I wanted to make her a special card, and very unlike me I'm getting it done now instead of my usual last minute, lol. My idea was a 3D card, but I didn't have a clue how to do it, so this card actually started out as a 1-layer card. Stamping, masking, stamping... you get the point. After coloring half the images I decided it wasn't working. The scene was just all wrong, the card was 30 cm (almost 12") long, and I messed up the coloring one one of the images. So I stamped a few more images and colored them all in with my Copics, and then fuzzy cut them all. The stamps are from Clearly Besotted A class act and Being schooled, as well as Mama Elephan...

Hello! OK, so snow drifts can be pink, right? Right! I created this background using watercolor cardstock, Nuvo shimmer powder in Cherry bomb and my water spritzer. I added a couple of layers of the powder for more intense color and also because all the little specks got washed out. And they honestly are the reason I love this powder and why I think it's so unique. I know your supposed to dilute it all for an even layer, but I like it this way. I used the MFT Horizontal snow drifts die to cut the panel.  It's so hard to get the shimmer on photos, but it's so shiny in real life. TIP: I sandwiched a piece of parchment paper between the cardstock and die to prevent the shimmer powder from sticking to my die and potentially ruining a future project. Ask me how I know I need to do this. I stamped 3 images from MFT Polar bear pals, colored them with my copics and fuzzy cut them out. I cut the frame die from white cardstock as well and placed i...
