Masculine Mountain Card

 Hello everyone! I hope you had a good Saturday and didn’t get fooled by anyone.  

Today, I would like to share a masculine card that I made for a challenge in my Artsy Inkers group.  We were to create this aperture by cutting an X in patterned paper and then fold it over.  Connie calls it Bursting Out.  I’m not sure if there is another name for this type of fold.

This was easy to do once I picked some double sided paper and found an exact-o knife to cut the x.  

The stamps are Elizabeth Crafts Summer Sentiments and Camping Out and the paper is My Mind’s Eye Happy Camper. I did just color the image a bit with alcohol markers.

Thanks for stopping by! 

Oh Dear, What a Year!

 Hello all!  You might have seen these deer images a few times before. When I got this stamp set, I just stamped out and colored a whole sheet worth of images. It was a good way to get a lot of use out of a stamp set, and also to break up the work.

I also used up some scraps of pretty paper here.  

And I used a new stamp set from Close to My Heart for the inside sentiments.  There are a bunch of funny ones, but this one is my favorite for 2020.  

I am not sure if I will be posting again this year.  I want who wish everyone Happy Holidays, of course a very Merry Christmas, and a much happier New Year!

Blessings,

Heidi

Reindeer and Birds Christmas Cards

 Hello!  If you are here, I want to thank you for the time you are taking!  This is such a busy time.  We are back to virtual school temporarily for the surge and that really takes a lot of time, energy and mostly patience.  I don’t fault anyone for this extra burden, it is what it is, and I am confident the kids will catch back up and be more resilient.  

Anyhow, I did have a little time to finish up these two Christmas cards.  I had stamped, colored and cut out a bunch of images from Elizabeth Crafts Reindeer and Birds set previously and I have almost used them all now.

The first card I just love because the reindeer looks so funny and I love this plaid paper from Modascrap.  I added some stamped holly and red rhinestones to finish it off. (I am REALLY low on red rhinestones and need to remember to buy more!)

The second card uses another of my gelli plate prints.  I used some die cut snow hills. You can’t see it but I used my Sakura glitter pen to add sparkle to the edges of the hills.  The sentiment is Power Poppy.

Thank you for visiting! I should have some time later tonight and tomorrow to look at what you have been sharing on your blogs! Have a great day!

Christmas Cute Birdies Cards

 Hello everyone!  I hope you are doing well.  I am continuing to work on Christmas cards and here are two more, with my favorite subject, birds!

I had previously stamped, colored and cut out the birds, so I just needed to figure out how to use them.  I decided they looked nice in a circle, and with this patterned paper.

The second card, I changed it up and cut a circle in the patterned paper, and then put glitter paper behind it.  I left the piece large enough so that the glitter paper would also be the matting.  I think they are both pretty cards, but I do like the glitz of glitter for a Christmas card (and it looks really neat in real life.)

The stamps are mostly Elizabeth Crafts Reindeer & Birds, but one sentiment is from Power Poppy.  The paper is Moda Scrap.

Thank you for visiting today!
