For my first card, I am using the new "Crafty Little Elf". She is so darn cute, don't you think? I made her table bigger by just drawing a longer line. Then I added more accessories for her using the "Planner Gal" kit. Then I colored with Copics and fussy cut her because I wanted the background to show.

I ran some gold foil through my Big Shot using the Sizzix Tim Holtz embossing folder "December Calendar & Holiday Words". I absolutely loved how it turned out! Finally, I added the sentiment from the KOM 10/16.

My next card, I stamped the "Butterfly Embellies", colored them with my Spectrum Noir metallic pens and fussy cut them out.

Now, it's time for the fun rainbow background! I've seen so many paint smear/smoosh/spread/schmear videos on Instagram that I had to try it out for myself! I used Tim Holtz Distress paints [Broken China/Twisted Citron/Mustard Seed/Spiced Marmalade/Picked Raspberry] and added some Tim Holtz distress stickles glitter [Clear Rock Candy], then just spread it out like buttercream on a cake! :) Once the paint is dry, just pop the butterflies with some glue pop dots.

I only have two cards for today, but hey, I hope you're inspired to create some cards on your own!

Happy Weekend!

For my first card, I am using the "So Grateful" kit by Lisa Glanz, isn't the girl just so pretty and how cute is that dog? 

I wanted to create a scene for her, like she's walking her dog in her neighborhood - so I inked up some clouds in the background using Simon Says Stamp stencil {Cloud for Days} and Tim Holtz Distress Oxide {Tattered Rose}.  I also added the Lawn Fawn Picket Fence Border die.

For the sentiment, I created the border using the "Rectangle Scalloped", stamping it with some Delicata Golden Glitz ink, then fussy cutting it.

Next is this cute "Tuxedo Bunny", which I colored with Copic markers then "masked" it using Nuvo Cyrstal Glaze. I love this glaze! Once it's dried, it's time to create the rainbow dotted background with Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks {Picked Raspberry/Squeezed Lemonade/Cracked Pistachio/Wilted Violet/Broken China}. Check out the video and see how easy it is!

I also added some Nuvo drop {Simply White}.

This next set "Fall Breeze Bright Leaves" is just SOOO cute, I LOVE it so so much! 

I colored the background using Prima Pastel Dream Watercolors and also added some Unity Stamp Aurora Sequins.

For the bunny, I decided to pop him up on a DIY action wobble I made so that he can go "boing boing boing" :)

And now, time for some Christmas card!

This cute kit "Snow, Snow Cute" is just too adorable not to get. I stamped both the snowman on a piece of cardstock and cut in so that it is in one piece. Before adhering them down, I added some "snow" in the background using Tim Holtz Stencil and Distress Oxide ink {Broken China}.

After adhering the snowman, snowflake and sentiment on my card, it's time to add some glittery snow using Nuvo Glimmer Paste {Moonstone}. I also added some Unity Stamp Aurora Borealis sequins to the glimmer paste (while it is still wet).

 This next Christmas kit "Twas the Night" has got to be my FAVORITE! It looked like they are home, just decorating the tree for Christmas, so I watned to create a fun background for them.

I added a thin layer of the Nuvo Glimmer Paste {Moonstone} to my card with my TCW Stencil {Bricks}. Now, it's time to create some custom colored glimmer paste using Dylusions ink {Vibrant Turquoise/London Blue}. You can also use watercolors, distress inks, color burst... anything that you have!

Finally, I added some Nuvo Drop {Bright Gold} to the ornaments on the tree.

This next kit "Wonderland" features another cute snowman and birdie and I wanted a Winter Wonderland shimmery background for my card. I grabbed my Gina K Designs Fancy Foils {Sparkling Silver} and using my Thermoweb Tape Runner XL to add the foil to my card WITHOUT any laminator/foiling machines! So cool right?

Finally, a cute FREEBIE stamp "Snowman to go"

for you this week! Just spend $75 and you will get this stamp automatically added to your order

I wanted a fun background for him, so I used some of my scrap Amy Tangerine Patterned Papers, cut them into 0.5" strips and weaved them all together! Watch the video and see how easy it is! :)

For my first card, I used the new "Sweetness" kit which is SOOO pretty, right? I colored them with Copic markers and added some glitter with Spectrum Noir metallic pens. Then it's time to do some ink smooshing!

I know some of us (I do too!) have issues with ink blending and getting everything to look smooth, so this technique would help. Just grab a transparency/plastic packaging, smoosh some inks on it (I used Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks - Squeezed Lemonade, Worn Lipstick, Shaded Lilac & Picked Raspberry), spritz some water on it and SMOOSH! Yups, that simple :) I also added my all-time-favorite Unity Stamp Cinderella sequins

For my second card, I used the "Stay Strong" kit with this beautiful coffee cup. I added the flower and heart (also from the same kit) to the cup; which I colored with Copic markers. Now it's time for the Galaxy Sky! 

I used the Nuvo Shimmer Powder [Violet Brocade and Atlantis Burst] and added Unity Stamp Ariel sequins. Watch the video and you'll be surprised how easy it can be with these powders :)

For my first card, I colored "Emerson Girl" with Copic markers (she's so pretty!). Angie Blom always comes up with so many new Angie Girls!

Next, it's time for some rainbow oxide hearts! This card is inspired by Kelly Latevola [Link to her video HERE]

I painted my rainbow hearts using Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks [Picked Raspberry, Carved Pumpkin, Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron, Peacock Feathers, Salty Ocean, Wilted Violet]. It is so much easier than it looks! :) Oh and I added Unity Stamp sequins [Cinderella] to my card. LOVE Unity sequins.

Next up is the "Unique" kit by Tierra Jackson. This could be turned into a Christmas card but I made it into a non-holiday card with all the odd colored scarves and mittens (Well, the kit is called Unique, right? *haha*). I stamped it on Strathmore tan paper (you could use kraft paper too) and colored it with some Prismacolor. This way, the colors will really POP! I then die cut some gold glitter foam with Avery Elle Wonky Scallop Frames.

And now, for all the holiday Christmas cards! It's never too early to make them right?

I love this sweet snowman from the "Always Had My Heart" kit with that cute bunny rabbit. I turned this card into a snowglobe shaker card with some pretty Unity Stamp sequins "Cinderella" and "Moonshine". The sentiment is from the " Special Winter Friends" kit.

Next up is another Angie Girl by Angie Blom, called the "Caitlin Girl".  LOVE her!! I colored her with Copic markers. For the background, I wanted to add some shimmer and glitter without the mess. So I used my awesome Gina K Foil-Mates [Blizzard] and foiled it with some Thermoweb Decofoil Silver Shattered Glass. Just check out how pretty it turned out! No glittery mess!

My next Christmas card, I wanted some non-traditional holiday colors, so I chose some pastel colors. I stamped and colored the snowman from the "Winter Special Friends" kit with some Copic markers. Then, I added the pink frame, which I die cut with the Avery Elle Oval Burst die. Then I added some Kat Scrappiness sequins - Summer Breeze and Snowflake Kisses.

Next is this awesome truck from the "Christmas Magic" by Tierra Jackson. I colored it with Copic markers, and wanted to create a snowy background for it. So I used my Tim Holtz distress resist spray along with Tim Holtz distress oxide inks. Just check out my video, on how I made this card! :)

And for my final card, another Christmas card using the "Star Bright" kit. Seriously, who could resist a cute snowman? I inked up the background using Tim Holtz distress oxide inks and created the star burst effect using Tim Holtz stencil and Hero Arts white pigment ink "Unicorn". Of coz I also added some awesome Unity Stamp sequins too.

For my first card, the red truck is from the "Bountiful Haul" kit which I colored with Copic markers. I wanted to create my own "patterned paper" so I used the "Obsessed with Floral" kit (which fits on my entire card!) and embossed it with some Ranger gold embossing powder.

My next card features this beautiful butterfly from the "Life Should Be" kit. I am obsessed with it!!  Don't you think it's so pretty? I colored it with my Prismacolor colored pencils, then added the gold detailing with my 18kt Krylon gold leafing pen. This thing is sooooo shiny in real life!!

And for my final card, a new Angie Girl called "Tulia Girl". I know I say this all the time, but this has got to be my favorite!! Just look at the wonderful flowers, her hair, her clothes.. wow! I colored it all in using Copic markers, and added some shimmer to her top with Spectrum Noir metallic pen. Then I added the little hearts from the "Planner Gal kit: Unity Unies" with Altenew inks.
