Here is the latest Card Kit that I’ve created.  It uses the Front Door Background rubber stamp from Little Miss Muffet Stamps which is also the rubber stamp this is included in the kit.  I’ve been meaning to create a mostly white card for a while and I was inspired by the recent cold weather. 

Layering the card is pretty straight forward and you can create a card as large as 6×6″.  I usually create square cards that are slightly smaller, around 5.75″ x 5.75″, so I can place them in the envelopes.  However, with the supplies included, you can create a size that suits you. Each layer is 1/4″ smaller than the previous layer. 

I colored the door with light colors because I wanted the wreath to stand out. I have the colors I used somewhere on my desk so when I find them, I’ll update this section.  😀

Here’s a project that is a little different from what I normally do which made it all that more fun.  I’ll explain a little more below.  This is also a card kit, Clover Winter Friends Card Kit, for one lucky person since there is only one kit left.

The stamp is Clover Winter Friends from Little Miss Muffet Stamps. My goal was to eliminate all the white space around the stamped image.  I could do this by coloring around the image or by fussy cutting … I chose the fussy cutting and then decided to do something fun with her wings too. 

You can see how I layered and assembled the card.  I used foam dots to pop up the top layer and also the image itself.  The diecut is Birds on a Wire Metal Die, also from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.

I cut out the image and even clipped off her wings.  I usually don’t use a black marker to go around the cut edge but this time I did.  Since I wasn’t going to have the white base, I wanted to make sure the thickens of the paper didn’t stand out.  Check out below how I did the wings, which were placed on the card before I added Clover.

I stamped the wings twice on clear plastic and cut them out so I could layer them. This allowed me to use the ground plus a white gel pen for snow and to keep it separate from the image.  The wings were covered with Stickles glitter and I bent them a little at the base so they stood out from the card.  However, before I layered them on the card I also stamped the image, in black, on the decorative paper.  This helped to position the image too.  

I can’t say that I’m ready for Christmas but every once in a while it’s fun to color something out of the season.  This one was just perfect for the day and it allowed me to play with some other colors that I normally wouldn’t pick.  I’ve used Dexter Gives and the full recipe is below.  For some more inspiration today, check out what the Little Misses have created.  Enjoy! 

Other: ribbon, twine, teal enamel dots, black fine-point marker, white gel pen, foam pop dots, glue/tape

I’m back in town for the summer and what a whirlwind – I loved it!  I was even lucky enough to skip out on some of the hottest days in Texas while I was enjoying the more cooler weather up north.  Bliss! 

As a welcome back into the internet, I thought I’d get right into posting a project I created.  This one uses Broasca Frog and I had fun coloring him with vibrant greens and blue eyes.  I kept the project simple and focused on the techniques of coloring and mixing colors.  I like how he turned out and I even have the color combos to share, which are listed below in the recipe.
