Altenew White on White Layered Card


 Am so thrilled to share this fun White on White die cut layered card! Using Altenew Create a Wreath for the flower blossoms, and a circle cut at the top to make it a cup. I used the Altenew Fancy Hugs die for the sentiment and just to add some fun texture, I used the Organic Linen 3D Embossing Folder on the card front for the background.

Budapest Matthias Church Layout

                               

                                     



This is a layout of our Viking Grand European Cruise back in June 2024. I dug out some older papers from7 Gypsies' Gypsy Market Sharne and Moe. I fussy cut the image from the Sharne pattern paper, and added black paper to the back to make it more sturdy as well as stand out. I had custom made leather copied paper I had purchased for junk journaling and used that for the mats. The tag is another previously handmade and used for this. Letters were added to the ThermoWeb weave ribbon at the bottom. Bling also.

Guest Designing for Word Art Wednesday-Waffle Flowers








 January starts with my guest design spot for Word Art Wednesday and I am honored to play with their wonderful word art again for 2025. For this card, I used a new die from Waffle Flower called Snowflake Cluster to showcase them as our sponsor this week. The die itself cut beautifully and I used the arrangement of the snowflakes as a perfect backdrop for the verse. I did cut one of the snowflakes away from the cluster to use later. The bg was made with Distress Oxide inks and splattered with Silver Tattered Angels spray to add dimension and shimmer. I took the printed sentiment verse and die cut it into a circle then used Versa Mark added around the edges of it and used Ranger Silver Embossing Powder to add even more shimmer around the edge. Love all of the sparkle and shine. Enjoy and come play along for the chance to win a gift certificate for Waffle Flower Stamp company!!

Simon Says Stamp Holiday Essentials Die Card

  



This is such a beautiful new die set from Simon Says Stamp, called Holiday Baking Essentials Die set


I added the Spellbinder's Tear Drop circle die, with my Platinum 6. The sentiment was a die from The Stamp Market, "Holiday Greetings" that came out seasons ago. The pattern paper is Lawn Fawn Perfectly Plaid and I used all of the sheets that I had left. Love the retro feel of them to add so much to the cards! The last and yet the first thing I did was add all of my red Rickrack in my stash, from mini to medium widths. I love my stash!!

As for the details, I did add shading with the following Copic Markers: C1,C3,E33,E35,R22,R30. I added Ranger Christmas Red Stickles and Nuvo drops in Cream for the cookie. Glitter paper for the sentiment. My new MISTI Glue Gun came from SSS with its fine tip to use just enough glue and not overflow too much. LOVE that newest tool! 35 cards were made in total!
