Winter Friends by Tricia Barber

Hello all!  I have a winter friends card to share with you today.  I am feeling all the plaids for this winter so I started with a plaid background from Yuletide Plaid paper pack from Memory Box.   To create my scene I die cut from white and glitter white cardstock the Nordic Treeline Craft die and used this as my background.  I layered some of the glittered die cuts on top to mimic ice and snow. 

For the scene, I die cut the Nordic Playful Penguin and the Nordic Happy Snowman using the Leafy and Lagoon paper packs.   I built each of the images up and used my markers to color in the nose, eyes and penguin feet.   I made sure to match up some of the colored cardstock on each so that they went well together.   I layered these onto some cardstock strips.   

To finish off my card, I stamped and die cut a greeting from the Holiday Banners Clear stamp and die set.  I hope you have a wonderful day!

Purple Passion by Tricia Barber

Hey there!  Purple is one of those colors that you either love it or hate it!  I have developed a love for purple lately.  I love the cool tones with silver.  I used the Nordic Floral Butterfly die and cut from light to dark shades of purple. Given that I used 4 colors, I now have a few extra butterflies in my stash for a future project which is always a plus for me! I used foam tape in between the layers of the butterfly to give it some dimension.  Such a beautiful die set with all the lacey details.   

I don't have many 3D embossing folders this one is from Memory Box and is called Cheerful Floral.   I think it is beautiful.  I kept it simple by just embossing the main panel.   I did spritz my paper with some light water to keep the cardstock from cracking or tearing.  I added the butterfly with more foam tape.   I layered it onto a silver panel from the Memory Box Vintage Pastel Mirror 6x6 pad.   Then I added some white Fairy Jewels to the card for a little more sparkle. 

I finished off the card with a simple sentiment strip using the Sentimental Banners and silver embossed my sentiment.   I hope that you have wonderful crafty weekend!

Warmest Wishes by Tricia Barber

Hello! Tricia here with you today. I am sharing a wintery card using the new Nordic Wonderland release!  I am sharing the new Nordic Forest Gnome and Large Mushroom House.   How cute is this gnome? He looks like Santa to me!  I love working with die cuts and adding details with a mix of markers and ink blending.  I started out by trimming a card panel using some patterned paper from the Yuletide Plaid paper pack.  I ink blended onto the top of the panel with dark blue ink.  I trimmed the panel done to 4 by 5.25 inches.  

I die cut the Nordic Forest Gnome and Large Mushroom House from colored cardstock.  I used a small blender brush and added ink to the edges.  For the Gnomes face, I used my alcohol markers.  I added some additional details with a white gel pen.   The grassy border was made with the new Nordic Wintertide Border set.  

To add to the wintery scene, I die cut a Wide Pine Needle Shoots tree from several different colors of green cardstock.  I stamped a greeting from the Holiday Banners Clear stamp and die set.  I finished off the card with some Christmas Fairy Jewels.  I hope you have a wonderful day!

Wish We Were Together by Tricia Barber

Hello there!  I am sharing a slimline card using the Whittle Racing Giraffe Kit!   There are many ways that you can color your die cuts and today, I used a combination of ink blending and alcohol markers with my colored cardstock to create this card.   I pulled some scraps from my scrap pile and used my scraps to create this card.   I typically cut more than I need as I am adding details, I may make changes.  Worst case, I have few extras for the next card. 

I die cut a white card panel 3 3/4 inches by 8 1/4 inches.  I ink blended the sky and grass onto the card panel.   I created my dirt road with some kraft cardstock and added some ink blending to the edges.   I adhered this directly to the card panel.   I then started building my scene to figure out how many giraffe's, trees, cars and clouds I could use.   Next I determined where I would stamp my sentiment.  

I typically don't have a plan until I can start placing my die cuts around and start to see the scene come together.  I love to have my images go beyond the panel like the second giraffe with this head going above the card, having the cloud and tree extend beyond the sides.   For mailing, I would use a large envelope and will add a piece of cardstock to the envelope slightly larger than my card to help provide support to the inside of the card.   I used a combination of ink blending to each of the die cuts and then added more details to the giraffes with my alcohol markers and adding little bits of extra card stock behind the mouths of each one with darker cardstock. 

To finish off my slimline card, I added some Fairy Jewels.   What are your tips for adding color to your die cuts? Hope you have a wonderful day!

Unicorns & Rainbows by Tricia Barber

Hello!  Tricia with you today sharing a birthday I made using the Whittle Rainbow Unicorn Kit and the Birthday Blowout stamp set.   I had so much fun using the recently released Whittle Bit of Fun release that I was in a whittle mood to make some more and pulled out the Whittle Rainbow Unicorn Kit!  I love creating scene cards.  I started by cutting out of the the dies in the Whittle Rainbow Unicorn kit from white and glitter cardstock.   I colored the rainbow, stars and unicorn manes with my alcohol markers.   

I had to add some sparkle to the card so I die cut the moon, unicorn wings and horn from white glitter cardstock from the Festive Glitter pad.   I ink blended some light purple cardstock with a light and darker purple dye ink and started at the top left and ink from the corner in.   I stamped two sentiments, one from the Whittle Rainbow Unicorn Kit and the other from the Birthday Blowout stamp set using Versafine Onyx Black ink. 

 

I used a combination of liquid glue and foam adhesive to add my die cuts to the panel.   I added some of the clear Fairy Drops to finish off the card.  I love the purple with the rainbow!  Such a fun and happy card.   So much fun to create with the Whittle kits!  Purple is not a color that I gravitate to for my backgrounds but I think I have found a new favorite for Halloween! EEEK!   I hope you have a wonderful and crafty day!

You're A Treasure by Tricia Barber

Hello there!  I am sharing a card made using the new Whittle Pirate Monkey Kit.  These new Whittle kits are just too cute.  I was channeling a certain movie series and wanted to create a monkey ghost ship.   I started by die cutting all the images from the Whittle Pirate Monkey Kit from white cardstock.  I used my copic markers to color in each of the images.  Check out all those details on dies that leave impressions on the die cuts for the monkey's and the ship! 

To create the background, I started out with a light blue card base.  I then ink blended with three different shades of blues and aqua inks.   I started with the darkest color at the bottom and worked my way up the panel to create a very soft blend.  When you start with a colored cardbase you can use the colored cardstock to be your lightest color - less elbow grease!   I splattered with some white paint.  Once dry, I stamped the sentiment that comes in the Whittle Pirate Monkey Kit and stamped the skull and bones using the darkest blue ink.   

I used a mix of liquid glue and foam tape to add my die cuts to the panel and create some dimension.  I used a mix of thickness with my foam tape.  I added some Fairy Jewels to add a little sparkle!   I love how it turned out!   Check out the Whittle Bit of Fun release in the Poppystamps shop!  I hope you have a wonderful crafty day!
