Sunshine in my pocket

Merry & Bright

Christmas, Paper Crafting

I love glitter paper. Yep. I have a whole drawer just dedicated to glitter paper. So when the Holiday Card Class had a day devoted to shimmer and shine, I brought out the glitter!

See that red glitter ampersand? It’s my favorite.
I played around with some distress markers for the merry word and bright word. It’s fun to try and blend two different colors. I added some glossy accents for shine. A few sequins and done!

So. Fun. And merry. (and bright). 🙂

Peace on Earth

Christmas, Paper Crafting

Well Hello! I’m back with some Christmas cards to share. After a big move, my daughter and her family (including 2 granddaughters) moving in with us, my mother-in-law having a stroke, and my grandmother passing away, I am FINALLY back to posting on my blog. Whew.

A big thank you to Online Holiday Card Class 2015 for inspiring me to get back at it!

My first card is clean and simple:

peace-on-earth-1

It’s hard to see in this picture, but there a little glittery snow in the background. I love this die edge and it’s the first time I’ve used it!

I was inspired by Julie Ebersole for the snow. I used a glue pad and some Stickles dry glitter over the top. I’m loving this class and so glad I could participate!

Stretch your Dies (day 5) — Masking Stamped Images

Paper Crafting

First, stamp your stamp on masking paper. Then air brush (or use distress ink) to color the background. Remove masks, stamp your image….and Voila! This card turned out cute, I think:

I popped up the sun near the bottom of the card…just for a little fun. 🙂

Stretch Your Dies — Masking & Dry embossing

Paper Crafting

So this was a fun idea to mask off the shape, then ink in the inside, then dry emboss the dots around the shape. I don’t know if that makes sense, but I loved making this card.

I image those balloons are carrying that funny bird away!
