Happy Anniversary by Jenny Alia

Hi, it's Jenny posting today with a card inspired by the embossed leaf paper from Trim Craft's New Leaf paper pad. It's a simple card that could easily be made into a shaker. I cut a green piece of paper to a 5.25" square and glued it to a 5.5" square card. I then cut the leaf paper to 5", cut a hole in the center with a circle from the Classic Circle Silver Stackers set and adhered it with foam adhesive to the green paper.

I used the birch tree from the Birch Tree with Cute Critters die and tucked the base of the tree into the bottom of the circle. The rest of the tree I glued down. I was going to leave the tree completely in the circle but I liked seeing more of the branches.

I cut two little owls from the Birch Tree with Cute Critters die then colored them with distress ink, added googlie eyes, and adhered them with foam tape. The On Your and Anniversary sentiments were cut and colored with distress ink and then covered in glitter glue.

Winters Day by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Hi everyone, it's JULIE hosting the blog today. Hope you all have had a lovely Christmas Day and Santa left you some new craft goodies. In Scotland it is unusually very mild for this time of year and no signs of snow yet, so I decided to make a Wintry Scene onto my card.

I started with a greyish blue cardstock and scattered some chunky white Embossing Powder on it to give a snowy effect. Next, I tattered and shaded the edges with Distress ink.

My Tree and Icicles I applied the same technique as I did on my Wall Hanging last week which you can see HERE.

My Winter Sign I die cut out in black cardstock and fussy cut a layer in white cardstock distressing around the edges and gluing onto my sign, adding the word Winter and some more white embossing powder.

Finishing off my card with accents of Flower Soft snow.

Thanks for stopping by today and good luck to everyone entering our Weekly Challenge.

Christmas Morning by Julie Lavalette

Juliz Design Post 3:30 AM 1 Comments

Happy Christmas to everyone, it's JULIE here today. This week I have made a mixed media wall hanging with my inspiration coming from thinking Santa has delivered all his presents and is now relaxing whilst his washing dries. You may want to grab a cuppa while I take you through all the techniques and photos.

Starting off with a piece of corrugated card I ripped back the paper to reveal the corrugation in parts. Next I applied a layer of Gesso with a baby wipe and added some Crackle Paint to the edges. Once dry I rubbed over some Distress ink to highlight the cracks. I then scattered embossing powders over my Cardboard in lots of frosty colours and sparkles to give the effect of a snowy scene and depth within a Forest from the corrugation. I just wish cameras would pick up all the sparkle !

Now to the fun part with my dies. I cut out my birch tree 4 times, inking down one side of the birch tree with Distress ink. On the other side I shaded with a Versamarker Pen and applied some White Embossing Powder. You will now see the difference between the inked tree to the one with added snow.

Building them up I wanted my trees to look slightly different on each side so I now layered extra branches behind the main tree, notice the difference between the two trees.

The Icicles had Glitter Embossing Powder added in a frosty shade with a little ink added to the drips, finally I added some Glossy Accents. This gives the look of the ice melting.

My little wildlife animals were all shaded with Distress Ink and Black Liquid Pearls added into the centre of their eyes. I also highlighted the tiny details that Cheery Lynn are fab at putting into their dies, with a Fine Liner Pen.

Santa's Laundry - First I coloured the areas I wanted red with a Copic Pen. Next I rubbed over my die cut with my Anti Static bag and then I used my Versamarker Pen over the red and applied a Red Sparkle Embossing Powder to make Santa's clothes glisten. I repeated the process on the white areas of the jacket using a White Puff Embossing powder. His underwear was shaded with Distress Inks and once again I highlighted all the details with a Black Fine Liner Pen. The washing line was coloured with Copics.

My Christmas Lights once again were heat embossed with different colours. Once built up I added a fine black line between the baubles and wiring, this gives an illusion of depth.

Finishing off with my Happy Christmas Sign and Holly which has all been heat embossed with different shades.

A final tip before I finish ... Should you not have a large range of colours of Embossing Powders in your stash, colour your die cut with Copics and add Clear Detail Powder or Sparkly Clear Powder. This is how I got the effect on my grass using Copics.

Thanks everyone for your continued comments and Good Luck to everyone entering our Weekly Challenge. I hope you feel inspired to try some Mixed Media with your dies.

Crafty Hugs,
