A Waltzingmouse Christmas Day Two

Welcome back!! It's Day Two of A Waltzingmouse Christmas and today we are all about Christmas cards. 

My card features the new Alpine Christmas stamp set.


I stamped out the trees and snow and then masked before stamping the house behind. I coloured the house with Distress Markers and added some white flock to the roof. To create the snowfall I sprinkled some chunky white embossing enamel over the image and heat embossed it (from underneath). The sentiment is part of this set - I just love all of the sentiments that come in the set. I simply stamped it onto white card with memento black ink, adhered it with 3D foam and added some flossed buttons & pearls. On the top I hand cut a pennant from patterned paper and added another flossed button. 



Don't forget to check back tomorrow to see more Christmas inspiration!! In the meantime, check out the rest of the design team's cards for today.

A Waltzingmouse Christmas Day One

Good morning and welcome to Day One of our Waltzingmouse Christmas event. Over the next four days the design team will be sharing a world of Christmas inspired projects featuring a range of stamps, old and new.  

Today we are showcasing Alpine Christmas and the amazing new dies from Waltzingmouse Stamps Cutting Edge dies. 



To make the lantern I first used Bright Season and stamped out the candle, etc. onto white card Then taking another piece of white card I cut out the lantern using the Bright Season Lantern die. I placed the lantern on top of the stamped image and trimmed off the excess so that it fit under the lantern. Then I adhered it with wet glue. Once it had dried I distressed all the edges with Brushed Corduroy distress ink. I stamped the leaves and berries with distress ink, trimmed them out, distressed the edges and adhered them with some wet glue, front and back. 

The sentiment is from Alpine Christmas and I just stamped that out onto patterned paper and tucked it under the lantern, which is popped on on 3D foam dots. To embellish the bag I added a bow, some Cream Pearl Pen & a flossed button.


I hope it inspires! Here is the list of ladies also showcasing today..

Home Sweet Home - Mixed Media Tag

Howdy bloggers! I hope your Saturday is treating you well. It's a lazy day here in this household, too wet and cold to venture outdoors so it's crafting, movie watching and generally being sloths for the day, lol. 

I had a bit of a play around wtih some inks, sprays and stamps yesterday and I decided to make a tag to enter into the challenge over on the Mixed Media Place blog. They want to see projects with Glimmer mists used on them... and this is what I came up with. 


I started out with a 6"x3" manilla tag and I covered it with some papers by Prima. I used mod podge to adhere it down. I then added a thin layer of gesso and once it dried I spritzed the background with Patina, Kiwi & Lemongrass Glimmer Mists - drying with a heat gun between layers. I also used a yellow spray from Dylusions. Then I added some more paper detail, around the edges and sealed them with more mod podge. 


I stamped out the house and used Creall Silkies to colour it in, then I sealed it. The sentiment is from a Waltzingmouse Stamps stamp set. I cut it apart, adhered it down and outlined it with a Black fine point Sharpie paint pen. 


The butterfly was in the pattern of one of the papers so I just trimmed it out and stuck it down, layering some mod podge over it. I took the lid of my mod podge and pressed it down into a brown inkpad, using it to create the circles. 

To make the house stand out more I also outlined that with the Sharpie paint pen. 


All in all I was quite pleased with how it turned out. I have some more mixed media supplies winging their way to me and I am excited to start playing with it.... so expect to see a lot more in the coming weeks :D

Bellariffic Fridays - Sketch #23

Good morning!!! It's time for another Sketch Challenge over on the Stamping Bella blog and this week we have another fabulous sketch for you.


This is my take on it.. 

My card features Uptown Girl LOLLY and her BROLLY. I inked up the top half of the stamp so that I could make a circle to suit the sketch. 


I'm not entirely sure what make the papers are, I only used one double sided sheet, and matted it with white and blue cardstock from Papermill Direct. I used nestabilities to cut out the circle and scalloped circle, and I adhered them with 3D foam dots. To embellish I added some flowers and pearls. 


Check out the rest of the Bella Babes makes over on the blog. Don't forget to drop in Stamping Bella Facebook page for all the latest news, and the SB Sisterhood group to share your wonderful makes with us!!

Have a great Friday!!!
