Pretty Pink Posh Hoiday Signs - Last card for 2020!

Yay! It's nearly Christmas!!  Boo, that means no more Christmas projects for a while.... :( I absolutely love making Christmas cards so I'm super excited to bring one last card to my blog and YouTube video today.  

For this card I used the Pretty Pink Posh 'Holiday Signs' stamp set which sooo cute!

I created a watercolour background using some watercolour cardstock and a nice navy coloured paint.  Once the background was dry I added a few snowflakes  using a sparkly white embossing powder.  I also splattered on a few white 'snowflakes' with some watered-down white gouache....you can never have enough snowflakes!!  I trimmed my card panel down to 4"x5.25" and adhered this a piece of navy cardstock measuring 4.25"x5.5" which leaves a nice 1/8" border all the way around and ties in really nice with the navy watercolour.

I stamped my images on to copic friendly cardstock with memento tuxudeo black ink and coloured the images using a variety of copic markers (colours used are listed below) and cut them out using my pixscan mat and silhouette portrait.  I popped the coloured images in to my misi tool and added all the sentiments using the same memento black ink.

To add dimension to the card I used foam tape behind my images and then secured them to the card with the help of a T-square ruler.

I adhered the whole card panel to a landscape top folding cardbase and finished off the card by adding a bit of nuvo crystal glaze on to a few elements of my characters.

I had some images left over so added them to some tags and added some pretty red glittery ribbon and voila.... some super easy and super cute Christmas tags!

Hello Bluebird 'First Snow' Winter Scene Card

Hello crafty friends!

Finally I'm back with a new video and blog post!  It's been quite a crazy few months with house renovations and sadly some illness (nothing serious thankfully) so I've needed to be in full Mummy mode looking after everyone!  Crafting has had to take a bit of a backseat...such a shame when Christmas cards are my favourite to make.

Today I'm excited to share this adorable card using the Hello Bluebird 'First Snow' stamp set along with some of my favourite Mama Elephant dies.  There's also lots of shimmer and shine with sparkles and glitter along the way.  

I used a colour pallet for inspiration for this card.  Sometimes I just don't know what I want to create....even though I know I want to make SOMETHING...so colour pallets help me as a jumping off point and I go from there.  This is the image I found to help me create this card:

If you would like to see my Pinterest board with all the colour pallets I have saved then just click here!  This particular image has been take from here.
