#simonsaysstamp card challenge

dsc02014

Thanks card using Tim Holtz products. I used the Tim Holtz Holiday Greens, mini, die set to make my pine bough. I coated them in versa mark ink and clear heat embossed them.  I added a Thank you sentiment from the Tim Holtz Bird talk stamp, die and embossing folder set.  I used the embossing folder on the white background piece. I added a pretty bow from American Crafts and then added a few clear sequins around on the boughs.

#Hero Arts Holiday card challenge shaker card Memory Box Tree Branch Circle

My fourth entry for the Hero Arts Holiday card challenge.  I really need to get some new Hero Arts products, I have used the Owl Christmas set on four different cards now so you can see a bunch of different things you can do with just one product. Hero Arts has some really nice products out now that I would love to get.

I decided to make this one a shaker card so I used the new Memory Box Tree Branch Circle die for the shaker portion of the card. I cut around it with a circle die and then a thin frame around the circle.  I filled it with some glitter and sequins.  I colored my owl with colored pencils and then fussy cut it out and mounted it on top of the peace sentiment which is also part of the Owl Christmas stamp set. I mounted the shaker portion on top of some matching polka dot paper and then added it to the front of my card base.  The card is a square card about 4.5 by 4.5 inches.  I tied a little pink twine bow for the front of the owl.  I finished the card off with some peacock liquid pearls on a couple of the polkadots.

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.
