Dear Santa

Hello there! Today I’m sharing a card featuring the new Hello Bluebird stamp set, Dear Santa along with the Winter Birch Scene die.

The Dear Santa stamp set is such a cute set that can be used for more than just Christmas, it could be used for Valentine’s Day or for sending a thinking of you card.

For my card, I stamped the images from the set, die cut them using the coordinating dies and then colored them using copic markers. Once that was done I used the Winter Birch Scene die and die cut it from white card stock. For my background, I blended on some tumbled glass distress oxide ink onto a white card base then glued on my die cut pieces. After that I stamped my sentiment and adhered my images popping up the stacked critters with foam tape. Before I taped the mailbox down, I used a craft knife and cut a slit near the flag and tucked in the holly image. I die cut some snowflakes using the Frosty Flakes dies and added three to my scene along with some glitter which I added to the top of the snowy mailbox, the base and ground.

Hello Bluebird Release Day!

Today’s the day! Tonight, October 23rd at 7pm MST the new Hello Bluebird holiday release will be available for purchase! My card today features the sweet, Snowman Hugs stamp set and dies along with the new Warm Hugs Word Die.

To create my card, I stamped and die cut my image from the new Snowman Hugs set and then colored it using copic markers. Next I used the new Warm Hugs Word Die and die cut it twice using white card stock and then once more using pink polka dot paper and then glued all of them 

together to add dimension to the die cut words. After that I used the Nesting Deckle dies to die cut a piece of white card stock which I then blended with spun sugar distress oxide ink. Before adhering my image and die cut word, I used the Frosty Flakes dies with white card stock and added some snowflakes along with some glitter.

Hello Bluebird Release Sneak Peek - Day 2

It’s Day 2 of the Hello Bluebird Sneak Peeks of the October release and I’m here today with a group of tags that I created featuring the adorable new Merry Makers stamp set and dies which will be available October 23rd at 7pm MST.

The new Merry Makers stamp set is perfect for creating either Christmas tags or adorable card scenes! To create my Christmas tags, I stamped all of the images from the set, die cut them and then colored them using copic markers. 

I used the Nesting Square dies and die cut white card stock squares as well as red, teal and green. Next I blended on some tumbled glass distress oxide ink along the tops of each white square, stamped my sentiments and then added white snowdrifts that I die cut using the new Snowy Countryside Square Scene die. I adhered my images using foam tape and added some snowflakes that I had die cut using the Frosty Flakes Dies.

I punched holes in the tops of each tag and threaded on some red and white bakers twine and added some glitter to all of the snowflakes and they were done.

Hello Bluebird Release Sneak Peek - Day 1

Hello, crafty friends! I’m excited and honored to be guest designing with Hello Bluebird again for their holiday release! This release is filled with adorable stamp sets and dies for fall, thanksgiving, Christmas and winter and I can’t for you to see it! The new release will be available over on the Hello Bluebird site on October 23rd at 7pm MST.

Today I’m sharing a card that features the new Autumn Days stamp set and dies. This is such a sweet fall set with not only two girl images but cute critters and elements to create a fun autumn scene.

To create my card I started out by stamping my images, then used the coordinating dies to die cut them out, then colored them using copic markers. Next I used the Nesting Deckle dies and die cut a piece of white card stock which I ink blended scattered straw, wild honey and vintage photo distress oxide ink on. Once that was done, I adhered my images and created my scene popping up the girl, chipmunk and squirrel with foam tape. I heat embossed my sentiment on black card stock using white embossing powder and added my sentiment below the images.
