Tim Holtz Christmas
Two card shares in one day??? What!? haha, well I'm not going to go into detail on this one (for now at least) but I will leave you with pictures of the final card and most of the supplies I used. This card is made with mostly Tim Holtz products.
Polar Holidays
Today I have a card to share using some Lawn Fawn products for the Simon Says Stamp Stamptember celebration.
For this card, I used Lawn Fawn's horizontal snowfall backdrop on navy cardstock (I believe it's called blueberry sour from Bazzill). I backed it with Lawn Fawn's pixie dust cardstock (I LOVE IT) so the snowfall would have some built in sparkle. Then on some scrap cardstock, I stamped the polar bear image from the new Winter Skies set with Gina K's black amalgam ink, colored it with some gray and red Copic markers, and added some glossy accents to the scarf. I fussy cut it out and was about to mount it to the snowfall backdrop when I realized it was missing something - snow on the ground! So I don't have any hill or snow bank dies, so I hand cut some of the same pixie dust cardstock to make it look like rolling snowbanks, then glued it to my backdrop and mounted the polar bears with some foam adhesive. Finally, I stamped the sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Simply Winter Sentiments set, cut it with my paper trimmer, and adhered it to the front of my card with some foam adhesive. I adhered it to a card base and that's all she wrote, folks!
It's simple but I really like it. Thanks so much for checking out my blog!

Stained Glass Mosaic
Hello again! Today I have a card to share with you and I am quite happy with how it turned out. It's going to be another entry into Simon Says Stamp's Wednesday Challenge for Anything Goes.
I call this card "Stained Glass Mosaic" because of the design, the shine, and the colors. I first die cut the Moroccan Mosaic cover die from Altenew 3 times. I glued one cut to a panel and then colored in the individual spaces with copic markers. Then, I glued the 2 other die cuts on top of the colored one to create dimension. After that I filled in all of the spaces with Nuvo crystal glaze, making sure to spread it evenly and even up the sides of the die cuts (and then of course adhered it to a card base). I decided to leave this without any sentiments because I love having some blank ready-to-go cards for whatever occasion that may come up (and I don't have any "just because" sentiments in my stash yet lol). Overall it is a simple card to make, but I love the look that the glaze gives it, especially with this die.
Thanks for checking out my blog!!
