Woodware Bubble Bauble

By
Just love this bubble style Christmas bauble stamp from Woodware designed by Jane Gill which I've combined with pattern papers.

I took a sheet of deep blue paper from Funky Fossil's Shibori paper pad that reminded me of a night sky with a hint of snow at the bottom and stamped/embossed the bauble/sentiment with white EP.  From a different sheet of paper from the same pad I stamped just the bow and paper pieced that on top adding some shading with a pencil.  Down either side I added die cut torn edge strips.


Then came some die cut circles for the larger bubbles, to my eye they are trees on a snowy hilltop.  Even smaller circles were die cut from a silver glitter adhesive sheet.  The rest of the bubbles were covered with glossy accents.  Definitely a labour of love die cutting/sticking them all in place but quite a dramatic overall effect.

I've used - 6x6" white card base
Woodware JGS771 Bubble Bauble and Pine Branch stamp set
Funky Fossil Shibori paper pad
Xcut metallic adhesive glitter sheet

    Love that gorgeous deep blue paper. The white heat embossing looks so striking against it. Great job on paper piecing the bow and on doing torn edges down the sides. Thanks so much for joining us at Peace on Earth!

Birthday Wishes Cake

Made my own mixed media background panel for this birthday cake card with inks, stencils, stamps, glitter paste, stencil butter and embossing powder.  You might have to zoom in to see the sparkle and shine.  A favourite three tier cake with chocolate sprinkles ... yum! For the background I started by blending two DO inks onto white cardstock.  Repeatedly placed the mandala stencil on top, spritzed with water and dabbed off with paper towel to create a faux bleach effect.  Glitter paste and stencil butter was applied through parts of the seed head stencil.  Embossing powder was sprinkled over the top of the stencil butter and heated once dry.  Random stamping with various inks. Three tier cake die cut from scraps of pearlised card for the layered toppings (white layer was an embossing folder scrap) and similarly inked card as the background panel for the bases which have stencilled white heat embossed wavy lines.  Added a birthday wishes word banner die in white pearlised card backed wi

Musical Crossword ... Paper Players #387 Musical Challenge

Set myself an additional challenge this week to combine a crossword stamp into the current  Paper Players #387 Musical Challenge  ... easy really just write the names of some instruments into the squares!  I also wanted to try the Retiform (grid) inking technique again and this is the end result. The crossword stamp was inked and embossed first before sponging distress ink along the edges of my paper masks to create several shaped areas into which I stamped musical instruments and notes using grey and black inks.  Finished off with an apt "Just a note to say ... " sentiment.

Tim Holtz Christmas

By

Today I'm sharing a couple of Christmas cards using two Tim Holtz die sets (Christmas circle words & festive repeats) which I've found are very versatile as many of the elements can be used all year round, a definite bonus.  This first little card has a die cut grid background and two hanging paper-pieced baubles for Dec 25th in grey and red with a splash of green foliage mounted on a grey matt layer. For my second card I chose to die cut the elements out of the white matt layer so the gold card base could show through.  I've had the gold die cut tree in my stash for such a long time so decided to emboss a tree on top for added texture and raised it on foam pads.  A lovely Christmas script sentiment was heat embossed with gold EP.
