  • Merry Christmas My Deer Friend Card

    Merry Christmas My Deer Friend Card

    Hi Everyone, it’s Tina here. This month Kat Scrappiness has a fabulous Merry Critters Stamp Set to help you make your Holiday Cards. It has critters as well as some fun sentiments. Below you will find the steps to replicate this card.

    Step 1 – Trim White Cardstock to 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″ and fold in half for a vertical side fold card.

    Step 2 – Trim White Cardstock to 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″. Apply Distress Oxide Ink using an ink applicator. Start with Stormy Sky at the top and blend in Tumbled Glass leaving an inch at the bottom uncolored. Spritz some water to create droplets. Dab at excess. Apply White Acrylic Paint onto an Acrylic Block. Spray some water and mix it. Using a paintbrush tap the brush to create a snowy scene. Set aside to dry.

    Step 3 – Stamp Merry Critters onto White Cardstock using Versafine Onyx Black Ink. Color using any color medium of your choice. I used Winsor and Newton Promarkers. For added detail use a White Gel Pen to create stripes and circles on the presents and on the tree to create snow. Fussy cut out all the images or use a scan n cut.

    Step 4 – Adhere the background created from Step 2 onto the card front using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive Glue. Adhere the images to the card using collage medium.

    Step 5 – For added interest and sparkle use Wink of Stella on some of the images.

    Hi Everyone, it’s Tina here today. Kat Scrappiness started a collection called Crafters Essentials which features must have dies in one collection. This month there is the Fall Crafters Essentials which not only makes fabulous Fall Cards but Halloween Cards as well. Today’s card I used it as a super fun Spooktacular Card. Below are the steps to replicate this card.

I sprayed the background using Sheer Shimmer Sparkle Spritz to add some sparkle and shine. Let it completely dry before moving into the next step.

    Step 3 – Diecut Fall Crafters Essentials using Black Cardstock. I Diecut the bat 3 times, the fence 2 times and the tree. Adhere to card front using Collage Medium.
