Holly Jolly Tag

Hello!  Welcome to the studio! Today I am posting a card for Monthly Mix Challenge at Gina K Designs. Arjita challenged us to make a Tag on a Card using Red and White. I used Gina K. Design products including Red Velvet Card Stock and Fancy Foil, Holiday Flora Foil Mates, Holly Jolly Greetings Foil Mates, and White with Gold Ribbon.  I used red foil on the sentiment but it does not show very well in the photo. Looks BIRL.  I also used a combination of Spellbinder Dies to create my tag shape.  Once I did the foiling on the sentiment and background, this project came together quickly.

A Peony for A Birthday

Welcome!  Switching off to making some birthday cards but still doing Christmas cards.  I created this design for the Creative Confetti Challenge Free For All - to create anything  you desire using Power Poppy stamps.  I pulled out one of my favorites Power Poppy clear stamp sets Peony Muse and stamped the smaller peony with Memento Pink ink (heat embossed with Clear EP) and the leaves and stems with Memento Green Ink.  I colored the image with Copics and used a White Pencil for some highlights. I trimmed the image with an Oval die and cut a mat from Gold Metallic CS with a Scallop Oval die. I attached this at an angle on to DCWV patterned stripe paper with gold foil accent stripes.  Added a White Organdy Ribbon with Gold Threads and attached die cut words cut from Pink CS with Cheery Lynn Dies.  Added some sparkle to the words with Sakura Clear Star pen. Finished with a card base of heavy weight white cardstock.

Black and White and....

Hello!  Today I have another Birthday card created with GKD Wild Blossoms set.  I like stamping this flower image in black and chose it for this black and white card with a touch of gold. I simply stamped the image and sentiment using GKD Black Onyx ink and GKD White CS.  I edged this panel with Pilot Gold Metallic Pen and adhered to a Black Card base. I added GKD White Organdy Ribbon with Gold Thread layered over a narrow Black Satin Ribbon.  Added a few more touches of gold on some of the flower centers with Gold Metallic Gelly Roll pen.
