birch press design ADI Spinning Snowflake Card and Video…

hey! Another Christmas card…knockin’ ’em out of the park this week!  Little league baseball lingo there…you can tell where we’ve been two evenings a week! lol

Here’s where my brain took me next working with this ADI layer die set… this is the B layer paired up with the largest snowflake from the poppystamps Shiny Snowflake die set.

 

Then I die cut the Memory Box Warm Christmas Wishes die twice, trimmed off the word warm and glued them together.  I kept the dots for the i’s, even glued them together but in the end, they were lost, bah haha, so Nuvo drops in white to the rescue!

A close up… I die cut two of the outer circle from Layer B and two of the snowflakes.  The DMC metallic thread is sandwiched between the twos.

I used the Mandala Card die set so the circle would be perfectly placed in the card front panel. Die cut it in Canson Bristol Smooth card, inked it all over with Distress Oxide inks (Salty Ocean and Peacock Feathers) and made the fun mottled look with a wet shammy… call it Shammy Lift if you want a name!  I did it back a few posts with an AR poppy die, after seeing others doing it.  Then I used another cut of the same Mandala Card die for a template and the matching size Circle Basics die to die cut the circle in the card-base.  That worked slick for getting the circles lined up.

A flat photo…just cuz it turned out pretty good! hehe   Oh, that’s a Memory Box pool notecard cut in half on the inside…love how it matches the Peacock Oxide ink.

Here’s a very short video so you can see it spin!  You can click to You Tube to see it larger HERE

 

Thanks for stopping by today… I have two more cards to show you with this ADI layer set… see you tomorrow!

birch press design ADI layer die card…

 


Hi everyone! I’ve been playing with some of the birch press design dies!  I have some fun things to share and I’ll start with this early bird Christmas card!  Whoa! I know… it’s been a long time since I posted Christmas in May!

I grabbed some metallic gold card-stock and started cutting… I didn’t use all the layers…not sure I can even tell you what I did since I moved on to some other designs.  You’ll just want to die cut and see what you come up with by changing out the layers.

I kept it very simple…the background is two pattern papers from a 6×6 pad.  This one is a few years old but I’m sure you have some that will work just as stunningly!  A little gold cord ‘ties’ it all together.

It was a sunny day for taking pictures, so I moved around 3 times and have different looking photos from each spot. I stopped at posting 3 photos at least! lol I wish I could really capture how pretty it is in real life!

 

Hope everything is growing that you’re watering! Our trees are looking good. whew.  Leafing out and soaking up the water and sun.  Kinda scared to get the water bill.  I didn’t Winter over our 3 Endless Summer Hydrangeas that we planted last year right, I guess.  No buds on the old wood.  Fortunately there’s a lot of new coming from the bottom though!  I just hope we get some flowers!  I know….rolling my eyes at myself…Lilly of the Valley pips on the way…hope we can do those right!  We have a lot of shade on the east side of the house. I’d rather make cards but…sometimes you gotta go outside! lol

Thanks for stopping by!

Jane’s Doodles Driving Home For Christmas Card…

Ho Ho Ho!  I hope this makes you smile!  This card just makes me happy! Look at that smile on that pooch!  He knows he’s pulling a lot of happy there!

I colored the images with Copic Sketch markers… cut them out with the Scan and Cut 350…put it on a road die in front of a forest die.

A little ink blending in the background and a few white dots with a gel pen for snow and decorations on the packages.

It’s snowing here, so pretty! Hope you’re enjoying this most wonderful time of the year!

Thanks for stopping by!

Merry Christmas to all and an Avery Elle Wreath Christmas Card…

Merry Christmas everyone! I have some Christmas cards to share still!  We always have our family Christmas on Christmas Eve day so today is a clean up/crash kind of day!  I remembered I still have some cards to post.  If you’re like me, you never get tired of looking at cards, no matter the season! lol

The four cards today are from an Avery Elle stamp and die set.  I’ll link up the products below.  I stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, using the MISTI stamping tool.  Colored with Copic Sketch markers.  I just love coloring in reds and greens!  I think I used R43 and 46 and YG63 and 67 for these.

Changed up the background on this one…

I love using the negative strips after die cutting this background…link below.  I did this on the first/top card too.

I love how these all came out and mailable too! yay!

Hope you all are having a wonderful Christmas season and getting handmade cards in the mail too! I love getting mail! hehe

Thanks for stopping by today! All the best to you and yours!

Deer Head cards…

Our anniversary is in December and so I made Tim a Winterish feeling card this year using a die set from Recollections.  The sentiment stamp is from Memory Box.  HERE is the pattern paper I used.

I really had fun with this for some reason… I suppose it was because for once I was able to incorporate pattern paper without stressing about it! hoho

So I made 6 for Tim to use for Christmas cards that he sends using a plaid from Photoplay Paper. Cindy has sets with plaids that I want to use next… this one HERE, this one HERE and another one HERE. We could even take this into Valentines HERE! lol

I tried using LED lights to take the last two pictures… I really like how bright they are for working… my husband doesn’t mess around…these are 300 watts! lol  He brought how 500 watts too but I said, no, you keep those for work.  Yes, these are light bulbs!  whoa!  lol

Entering some challenges…

Watercooler Wednesday Masculine anything goes

winner @ WW!  Thank you ladies!
