Snowflake Card Using the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig

Posted in Card Ideas, Card Share, Christmas, Techniques, Video Tutorial by

Today’s share feature’s another holiday card in Elegant Eggplant and using supplies from the 2016-2017 Annual Catalog.  Several techniques and tools are used on this card; a double image technique for the snowflake, sponging and the stamp-a-ma-jig for perfect placement of the words.  As you know I love a little “something” on all my cards so I used Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper as a frame around the stamped panel and a little rhinestone to dot the lower case “J”.  Enjoy!

  • Elegant Eggplant cardstock – 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″

  • Whisper White cardstock – 4″ x 5 1/4″

Bleach Technique – Happy Ornament Card

Posted in Card Ideas, Card Share, Christmas, Holiday Catalog 2016, Techniques, Video Tutorial by

Hello everyone!  Today’s share focuses on using regular household bleach to whiten up areas when using a darker cardstock.  Every time you use it you never know the effect it will have.  In the sample below it doesn’t bleach evenly but almost takes on a look like a globe. To me  the lighter parts resemble countries, doesn’t the area under the “HA” and “every” look like Africa? I did go in and add a little Elegant Eggplant to the ribbon and top of the ornament after bleaching.  Then for the final touch, a little Wink of Stella over the whole thing, although it is a little hard to see in the picture. Enjoy!

Card Dimensions:

  • Elegant Eggplant – 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″
  • Gold Foil – 4″ x 5 1/4″
  • Elegant Eggplant – 3 3/4″ x 5″

Supplies Used (Not Stampin’ Up!):

  • Household bleach (not diluted)
  • Old paintbrush

Try Different Colors this Holiday

Posted in Card Ideas, Card Share, Holiday Catalog 2016, Video Tutorial by

Today’s share features the stamp Happy Ornament and of course watercolor!  I used the colors Sweet Sugarplum, Rich Razzleberry and Smoky Slate.  I have been seeing these colors a lot lately so that inspired me to try a color pallette not traditional in Christmas cards.  I also used the 1/2″ punch to make the little corners and a splatter technique using Wink of Stella. Enjoy!
