Dream a Little Dream with Rhonda

Happy Monday to you! It's Rhonda here today to host the blog for you.

Today's card features the Dream Catchers #1 die which I think is so intricate and pretty. I thought it would be fun to showcase it as a focal point.

To begin, I started with Fiona's Magic Mirror Frame for my base layer, then the Swedish Spring Oval, topped with the Circle Horizon Boutique stacker, then the Dream Catchers #1.

I cut the Dancing Snow Flurries from white cardstock and then trimmed it apart to tuck in on the top and bottom of the card.

Shaking Up some Cheer!

LeslieRahye 3:30 AM 0 Comments

Happy Tuesday everyone! leslierahye here playing along with this weeks challenge Sparkle and Shine. I have created a shaker card with the circle stackers and Horizon Circle set!

I love how easy it is to cut a frame for your shaker I simply lined up a smaller circle inside my Horizon die, secured them with some washi tape, and cut them together in my machine.

I cut all of my snowflake pieces in white which was a little stark compared to the rest of my paper. I used pearl mists to add gold and pearl shimmer to my snowflakes and dull the stark white card stock.

For the shaker I cut a circle for the background and a circle out of clear acetate. I adhered the acetate to the frame with a clear lacquer.

I then added foam tape to the back of the frame to give my sequins and sparkles a space in which to move. If you desire chunkier shakings use another layer or two of foam tape. Make sure you have all of your pieces touching so there are no holes for shakings to escape!

I stack my shakings in the middle before adhering the frame. Here I used sequins, snowflake glitter and some crystals.

When you adhere the frame, make sure all sides are secure and then give it a shake to make sure it works!

I added my shimmer snowflakes to the frame and then used a clear gem as a spacer for a smaller snowflake to be placed on top. It added just the right height and was clear so could not interfere with the top layer of snowflake

As a final touch I added crystals here and there to centers and along the flurry strip!

An Ornament Card

LeslieRahye 3:00 AM 1 Comments

Happy Tuesday everyone! leslierahye here playing along with this weeks challenge Red & Green. I chose to create an ornament with the Circle Stacker Die and assorted shaped dies and doilies. Below is a brief tutorial with all the tips.

I began by aging the papers that I die cut with ink and layered them along with the Dancing Snow Flurries.

I created pine branches on brown jute strung. I began by straightening and stiffening the string with a coating of lacquer.

Once straight, I spun the lollipop strips onto the jute string in a fashion to create pine branches.

The circle die cut was also aged with ink and then smeared with red oil pastel to create a dimensional ball shape. The "ball" was attached to the card base with foam tape and the pine branches and poinsettias were attached with lacquer. a pine cone was created with a cutie die and lacquered to create shine. poinsettias and the bow and pine cone topped the "ball"

Christmas card with Irina Gerschuk

Irina Gerschuk 3:30 AM 2 Comments

Hi my dear friends!
It's Irina Gerschuk with you today. And I'd like to share with you my new Christmas card:

This time I decided to play with dimension and to add some texture to the project.
I used Winter Neighborhood Border with blue vellum and white paper to create more depth.
I stamped some snowflakes and embossed them with puff-effect embossing powder to create some soft and fluffy texture. To add more dimension I die-cutted a circle from the background paper and filled it with silver glitter dots (it also added a sparkle to the card).

Here is the closer look to the layers:

Dies used:
- Winter Neighborhood Border - B323
- Circle Classic - Silver Stackers - L-4

And please don't miss our new challenge - the theme is so versatile, and the price is yummy)))))

Thank you for stopping by!
Have a lovely day!

Season's Greetings with Rhonda

Rhonda Van Ginkel 3:30 AM 5 Comments

Happy Monday to you! It's Rhonda here today to host the blog for you.

I have a bit of Christmas inspiration to share with you today featuring our new release dies "Season's Greetings Ornament" along with some "Dancing Snow Flurries" accents.

I cut the Season's Greetings Ornament from a cereal box, then colored the design using a paintbrush and some color mists. The green circle layer behind it is cut from corrugated paper. to help the design pop a little I used a Scallop Circle cut from vellum behind it.

The Lilith Doily Edger was cut to create a border strip. I used it on the bottom under the layers and the little bit that I cut off, was folded over to create a tab at the top.

Tip:

I adhered the Season's Greetings Ornament to the vellum using small amounts of Glossy Accents. To then attach the vellum to the green corrugate layer, I flipped over the vellum and touched my Glossy Accents again on the larger areas only of the design. It worked really well.

I took some inspiration from Julie's recent post to distress the edges of my Poinsettia Strip flowers with a touch of gesso. I loved how it gives a bit of a shabby feel to them. I also misted them and crumpled them before assembling and adding the gesso.

Hello!

LeslieRahye 3:30 AM 4 Comments

Happy Tuesday everyone! leslierahye here sharing a cute shaped greeting card with the January New Release Bird House, my new favorite Sweet Williams Strip and the Tiny Flower Kit. Making shaped cards with the stackers is super easy. Fold your card stock and line up the fold to the inside of the cutting blade. Cut your shape. The fold will still be intact. Layer stackers on top and add you card front and embellish! For this card, I cut everything out of white watercolor paper and hand colored certain elements to match my digital image. I finished off the card with a bit of Wink of Stella glitter on the dragonfly wings, the sentiment and the edges of the flowers.
