Miss you...

Hello everyone,
Yvonne here sharing a card using the gorgeous Quietfire Design stamps!
Today a card with two stamping techiques.

* First the (embossing powder) background:
Stamp Quietfire Design "Leafy Acanthus Background" on blue cardstock using Versamark ink.
Then sprinkle white embossing powder over the stamped image.
The embossing powder will stick to the versamark ink.
Carfully tap on the back of the paper to remove the excess powder and if needed use a fine brush.
Heat the image with a heatgun and the embossing powder will melt.
Let the image cool down.
Then use some brown distress ink and an inkblending to to slightly colour the image.
Wipe the excess using some kitchen paper or an almost dry baby wipe.
The brown ink will not stick to the distress ink.

Die cut the image and glue upon gold pearl cardstock. mat upon a white card base.

* The second (simple) stamping:
The Quietfire sentiment Miss you was stamped onto the gold pearl paper using back ink.

Mat the sentiment upon white cardstock and glue onto the cardbase using 3D foam squares.

Let it snow....

Hello everyone,
Yvonne here with a card using the Quietfire Design stampset "Let it Snow Flourished Snowflakes".

It took just this gorgeous set of stamps to make the card...no patterned paper, no die-templates!
It's so simple to make your own patterned paper.

How to make the card:

1. Stamp the snowfalkes of the stampset upon white cardstock using a gold (metallic) inkpad.
2. Cut the snowflake patterned paper you just made to a rectangle and mat upon dark blue cardstock.
3. Glue upon a cream card base.
4. Stamp the sentiment upon dark blue cardstock using an embossing inkpad. Sprinkle some white embossing powder upon and heat using a heat tool. (tip: you can also use a white inkpad if you do not have a heat tool).
5. Cut a banner from the stamped cardstock and  mat using cream cardstock.
6. Glue the banner onto the cadbase using 3D foam tape.
7. finish the card with some gold colored rhinestones.

Yep...it's that simple :-)

I hope you like the card.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Wishing you and your family a lovely Christmas...

Hugs from Holland,

Halloween Wicked Trick or Treat Box

I've created a quick and easy gift box for Halloween using the "Trick or Treat" stamp from the Halloween Wicked Collection, a must have set for the upcoming spooky holiday! This set has all the stamps you need to make wickedly fabulous Halloween cards for those you love!!

My project is made from a box I picked up in the wedding section at the dollar store. You know, the kind that you use for wedding favors? Easy to put together and decorate! I sprayed my box with Clearsnap Smooch Red Spritz and let it drip down the sides to resemble blood. Next, I stamped "Trick or Treat" with Versamark and embossed with white embossing powder, then cut it out with Spellbinders Paper Arts™ Labels One Scalloped and adhered it to my box. I added a funky skeleton bat from the K&Company Brenda Walton Haunted Chipbox and topped it off with fun googly eyes! Lastly, I stuffed it with Ghost Chocolate, Zombie Food and Eyeball Gum!
