Another entry into the Hero arts holiday card challenge. I used the same Owl Christmas stamp set and I also used the Holly Flourish background stamp which I heat embossed using clear powder. It gives it a nice tone on tone look. I used my copic markers to color the owls and then fussy cut them and raised them up on dimensional stickers. Some red sequins in the corner mimic the Holly berries.
My second card for the Hero Arts Holiday cards entry. I used the Owl Christmas stamp set, it’s an older set but Owls are still the in thing. I also stamped the background with some of the snowflakes included in the set and then embossed them with silver embossing powder. The pink hills are from the stitched hillside pop up die from Lawn Fawn. I love that I can trim off the pop up tabs and use them as regular hillsides. I love doing Christmas cards in nontraditional Christmas colors. I framed it all with stitched rectangles from Avery Elle.
This is my first card for the Hero Arts Holiday card series. You must use a Hero Arts die or stamp set on your cards and I only have two stamp sets so it might be a little tricky getting some variety but I shall try. This card uses the layering bird and branch stamp set. I stamped a mountain background scene behind my new Tree Branch circle die from Memory box. Then I stamped and fussy cut out the layered bird on top of some bough branches from my Tim Holtz Holiday greens die cut set from Sizzix. I mounted it all on top of some plaid paper and added some enamel dots.
I know it seems early for Christmas cards but when you hand make them you have to start early, especially when your trying out new products. This is the new winter unicorn stamp and die from Lawn Fawn.
I love the sentiment on this set “All I want for Christmas is You (and a unicorn). A peak at the inside of the card, very simple. Used my stitched rectangles from Avery Elle to make a couple of patterned paper panels to layer on top of each other.
THIS IS THE FRONT OF THE FROSTY FAIRY FRIENDS POP UP CARD I MADE. I STAMPED AND DIE CUT THE IMAGES USING THE NEW FROSTY FAIRY FRIENDS STAMP AND DIE SET.
I USED COPIC MARKERS TO COLOR THE IMAGES AND THEN ADDED A LITTLE CLEAR WINK OF STELLA ON TOP TO HIGHLIGHT THE IMAGES.
THEN YOU OPEN UP THE CARD AND HERE IS WHERE THE MAGIC REALLY HAPPENS. I USED THE SAME STAMP AND DIE SET FOR THE IMAGES AND THEN I ALSO USED THE NEW STITCHED HILLSIDE POP UP DIE FROM LAWN FAWN TO CREATE MY SILVER HILLS. I LOVE THIS DIE, IT WAS SO EASY TO USE .
I USED AN EMBOSSING FOLDER ON THE LIGHT BLUE PAPER IN THE BACKGROUND FOR A WINDY SKY LOOK. THEN I STAMPED A SENTIMENT FROM THE SET ON THE BASE OF THE CARD. LOVE THE DIMENSION THIS POP UP DIE GIVES YOU. CAN’T WAIT TO MAKE A BUNCH A MORE.
A few cards I made recently for sale in the Lobby at Twin Pines Lodge and Cabins in Dubois Wyoming.
Tried to make fairly simple cards that were mostly one layer so they would be easy to mail.
Also made these mason jar die cut decorative pieces that are for sale in my ebay store thepolkadotpinecone.
Three wedding cards I made for last weeks scrapbook class. The front card I used a spellbinders die, cut from toner paper and then ran it through my Heidi Swap Minc machine with some silver foil.
