Christmas Blessings One Layer Scene!! =)

Hello Mint Owl Studio Friends!!
Larissa here today with a very Sweet and Simple Card Design using the "Away In A Manger" Stamp Set!!

I was going for a Soft Scene using the Manger and Baby Jesus and the North Star, but I didn't want to loose the scene against a really Dark Sky so I opted for a lighter sky color using Tumbled Glass and I REALLY LOVE the way that it turned out!! I Stamped and Embossed ALL of my Images and then I watercolored using Distress Inks!! I added some Glitter Pen to the Star and the top of the Manger and then Stamped and Embossed the Sentiments and my Card was done!! I LOVE Cards like this for Mass Producing especially during the Holiday Season!! It makes it SO FAST!!

THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by today and I hope you have a FABULOUS WEEK!!

Christmas Blessings

Good morning everyone! It's Cassie here with a cute holiday card. Today I used the stamp set Away In A Manger to create this simple card. I started by die cutting a stitched rectangle for a card panel base. Then I took a stitched heart die I have and cut that in the upper center of the card.

Then I took some pink embroidery floss and stitched in the hearts. I wanted this to be the focus of my card, but I chose a pastel pink to go with the soft color scheme I had in mind. Once that was finished I stamped my image in Momento black in so that I could color it in with Copics. Then I fussy cut it out and popped it up with some foam tape.

Next I stamped my sentiment in some gold embossing powder. And that finished the card! This was such a simple card to put together. The longest part was the stitching, and I find that really relaxing. Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you liked the card, and I'll see you again soon with another one!

A Child is Born

Hello everyone!

I'm back with another card with this months release which is available today in the shop. 

For my card I used the "Away in a Manger" stamp set along with the "Christmas Quilt" stencil.  I used what I'm calling the reverse stencil technique with I did with my previous card.  This was the second stamping to use up the ink left of the stencil. I then took some watercolour paints and coloured in the background.  

I used a circle from my stash along with a banner die cut from black card stock. I heat embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder and adhered it to the front panel. I then coloured and fussy cut Baby Jesus and popped it up with foam tape.  To finish off the card I added some Sparkle pen to the watercolour panel but you can't see it in these pictures.

We hope you'll head over to the shop to treat yourself with a few, or the entire release for this month!

Thanks for stopping by, see you again soon.

INTRODUCTION: Away In A Manger

Hello and eeekkk!!!!  Isn't it so fun to see new stamps being released?!  It's Lisa Lahiff here with you today, and I just LOVE this super cute set called Away in A Manger that I get to show off today!  From the sentiment to the super cute images, how could you not need this in your Christmas making arsenal?  And to really enable you take a look at this adorable card I was able to create with it...

To create this card I started by masking off my background and using various distress inks to create the shine for the star and the night scene around it.  I also did a mix of Masking fluid and white color misting for the white stars in the background.  I then stamped all of my characters and colored them in with various Copic Markers.  After I cut everything out I added them to my "sand" adhering the people with foam adhesive for dimension and the rest of Tombow Mono-liquid Glue. 

Make sure you stop back by tomorrow to see the next stamp set reveal!

Happy Crafting!
