JOY - A simple Holiday Card (& video)

Tuesday, November 26, 2019

Hi there!  I am sharing a Card I created with the intent to make it within 5-7 minutes!  Ha!
That didn't work.  But, it is still a simple, fairly quick card, that would be easily replicated.
I filmed the process so you can see how I made it and exactly how long it did take.

I used an Snowflake embossing folder from Sizzix on a plain piece of white cardstock and after
running it thru my Gemini Jr. I misted it with Clear Shimmer Mist from Avery Elle.
I added foam tape to the back of it and adhered it to another piece of Pearlescent Cardstock
from Tonic Studios that was glued onto the face of my card base.


Using a piece of 6x6 silver cardstock from Tonic Studios, I die cut this large,
intricate snowflake from Tim Holtz for Sizzix.



I die cut the "Adore Alpha" letters from Pinkfresh Studio out of this gorgeous red glitter
cardstock and only used the outside halo card of the letters. Layering all the die cuts,
I adhered them onto the dry embossed piece with liquid glue.


To finish up the card, I added two colors of Nuvo Crystal Drops around the snowflakes.



Thanks for stopping by the Blog today.
I'm going to try again with another timed card, but will definitely give myself more time.
A list of the supplies I used are listed below and there are affiliate links used at no cost to you.
Have a great day or if you're in the U.S., Happy Thanksgiving!

SENDING YOU hugs - Card & Video

Saturday, November 23, 2019

Hello!  It has been a hot minute, or a few months since my last Blog Post!
We moved put our house on the market, sold it, bought a new house and moved all in 4 weeks!  And started renovating the new house right when we moved in and started kids in new schools...whew!

It has been a crazy few months and I am finally getting to a place where I can unpack and start creating cards and scrapbook again.
I have missed it so much!  So, I was feeling the Fall colors and love and created
this card below using this gorgeous red rubber background stamp from Neat & Tangled.


You can click on the video below or HERE to go to my YouTube Channel directly.


I heat embossed that large background in white so I could use it as a resist for blending Distress Oxide inks for my sunset.
I think it would be fun to emboss it in gold as well.


I used some images from Lawn Fawn that I had previously colored and added a die cut sentiment,
a small stamped sentiment and some Nuvo Crystal drops.


A simple card and video to get me back into the swing of things!
I am going to be filming my new space and the organizing I will be doing too.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great day!
