Gingerbread men and coffee this Christmas!

Hello everyone!

Happy Friday!

I fell in love with this great card full of delicacy!

I stamped a pair of coffee cups using jet black archival ink and ground espresso distress ink, and clear embossed both before drying them for some shine. Now watercolored the bottom part of the cups and fussy cut both the cups. 

Die cut some snowflakes and gingerbread in chocolate brown, and some glittered green pine boughs.

 

I embossed a white panel in half with a Christmas sentiment.

Now I decorated my panel with all these elements, as well as some tiny gold stars and tiny hearts.

Some close-ups:

It's hard to lift a card as beautiful as it is sweet!

Happy crafting!

The basic white top layer is debossed using spots EF from Itsy Bitsy.

My card base is a textured coconut cream CS. I added an inverted scalloped rectangle in Kraft color with dimension and created this adorable winter scene.

Added a torn snowbank to give detail and a layer of sparkle is heat embossed for more interest.

I die-cut some Christmas trees from a dazzling cream embossed textured sheet and a glittery tangerine sheet.  The cute fawn is in the kraft sheet.

The neon sunset glitter dots are the perfect combo with Kraft paper. I stamped the sentiment using archival ink.

Hope you enjoyed the process!

There's always time for tea!

 Hello everyone!

Happy Monday!

Take a cuppa of coffee and enjoy the awesome Fall/ Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop 2022 hosted by beautiful Amy and her Team! I am so glad to know that Uniko is one of the great sponsors and I love their Products! 

I knew I wanted to use the I love tea stamp set from Uniko and I inked up the cup in two colors red and yellow. Then I heat-embossed the sentiment in metallic gold inside the cup with a metallic hint again on the outlined cup. I figure out how to tie it together with a winter Christmas theme. 

I came across with the holly leaves die and knew I could make it work.

I used the winter foliage stencil to add a little texture to my top card layer. Isn't it gorgeous?

I added a vellum panel too using gold texture paste.

I die cut out 2 sets of holly leaves, one in white and one in gold and slightly offset them together with a white shadow look.

I added some red enamel dots to the berries as an embellishment. Love the details on it!

Thank you for visiting me today!

Happy crafting!

 Hello everyone!

Happy Friday!  

A magical unicorn is perfect for any birthday celebration from kids to adults! And Magical creature is the theme this fortnight at Cut It Up Challenges!

I stamped the image on the snippet of white card stock and watercoloured it. 

Die-cut a wavy grid background in glitter pink and silver glittery CS and filled the silver pieces in the pink ones. 

On a snippet of a velum piece stamped the cloud image and heat embossed it with sparkling glitter and sentiment in silver. Added some red stars using pink gel pen.

Die-cut an oval shape and using an embossing pen created the oval line to highlight the image more. 

Now added the vellum sheet on die cut panel using transparent sticky tape. Added the unicorn image and created a stamped tiny heart with tiny dots on the pony and hair for more interest. 

Isn't it so cute and magical with a monochromatic look!

Hope you get spoiled today!

Hello to all! 

Happy Saturday!

This fortnight at Cut It Up Challenges, out in the country is the theme! And my soul asked for some flowers and greenery to get spoiled for someone's Birthday!

I started by die cutting two running stitched rectangles in different sizes. On a smaller size, I stamped a bunch of flowers with a flutterby in metallic gold and watercolored them. On the right side of the corner, I played with some alcohol inks background.

On a bigger rectangle size panel too, I added some alcohol inks splotches.

Die cut some delicate flowers in rose gold mirror CS.

Stamped the sentiment on a label in metallic gold.

Some close- ups:

These stunning blossom branches in rose gold added a beautiful, botanical and modern touch to this project. 

Have a wonderful day!

Happy crafting!

Spring Spray featuring Taylored Expressions!

 Hello everyone!

Happy Friday!

Are you ready for Spring as I am?

The theme today is Spring at Cut It Up Challenges and sponsored by Taylored Expressions. I absolutely love flowers. Mmmm......one of my favorite things to color and this time I opted for a soft color template!

I began with stamping the flower on a white glossy CS and heat embossed it 

Colored it with my ZIG brushes and the image is cut out with a coordinating die.

I die cut a double stitched circle 4 times and heat embossed one of the circles using and made a stack.

Now on my white CS panel, I stencilled some butterflies and circle specimens using DO.

Now die cut some different leaves out of some snippets of silver glitter sheet. Popped up the circle and arranged the spring floral with silver leaves. And a sticker sentiment is added.

Finished it off with some blue splatters and cotton candy stickles.

A close-up view above.
