A Witch's Wardrobe

Hello there! Michelle here! The stamp set, Hex Yeah, has been a favorite of mine and I hate the idea of only using her for one season. It was time to update this witch's wardrobe!
A no-line coloring technique did the trick!
I also used the stamp set Kringle, for the sentiment and banner.
You can stamp your image with any light gray or light beige ink. Than have fun coloring! I used Copic markers to color.
Hat and Dress: R35, R46, R59, RV99
Sash and Buckle; Shoes: C7, C8, C10, YR23, YR27
Stocking: G05, G07, E40, N1
Hands: E11, E13, E15
Banner: G05, G09, G28
I embossed the top panel using Diamond Flower Stencil and gold embossing powder. 
For the inside panel I used Light Me Up Stencil and white embossing powder.

For this second card I wanted a winter inspired outfit. Blue, beige and a little leopard pattern. 
The same no-line stamping technique applies with some Copic Marker coloring.
Hat and Dress: B34, B37, B39
Stocking: B34, B37, E41,E41
Leopard Sash and Shoes: E40, E41, E42, E43, E44
Skin: E11, E13, E15

I used Spell It Stencil to spell the word 'WINTER' and used the withes legs for
the letter 'I'. I used distress oxide inks in shades tumbled glass and chipped sapphire. I 
scattered some snowflakes using the stencil Light Me Up and the same distress oxides.
I stenciled the stars using Pumpkin Face Stencil and antique linen and tumbled glass distress oxide inks.
I splattered some white paint. When dried I stamped the sentiment from the stamp set, Krinkle.

I added some finishing touches to both cards: bells, a twine bow, and gems.

Thanks for stopping by for a peek!

Gimme My Elixir! Interactive Pop-Up Card


Hello my crafty friend!  Today I am on the blog with Gimme my Elixir card featuring the fun and barely there Caffeinated Dragon!  I have him in pop up mode coming to the top of his castle when you open this interactive card card

The castle was created with printed paper pieces. Do you recognize the window shapes?  These are created using the small light bulbs from the Light Me Up Stencil.  They are the perfect shape, right?
I used a 85# dark blue cardstock for the card base, added the grass and drawbridge creating a moat around the castle. On the front of the card base, I use printed paper and die cut letters. 

To color the dragon, I chose pinks red and golds from my TriBlend alcohol markers.  I start by coloring the dragon body with the lightest pink and then using a stippling/dotting technique. I add a graduation of lighter to darker pinks and red dots to create the shading. I love the stippling look.  Not only does it add an interesting look to the dragon,it give it almost scale like texture.  The wings and horns are colored in the yellow golds to give look smoother look.



Here are The Rabbit hole Design products used in this card:

Caffeinated Dragon 4"x4"


Caffeinated Dragon Die


Light Me Up Stencil 6"x6"


I hope this inspires you to try the stippling/dotting technique on your next creation. Remember it does not have to be alcohol markers (that is my preference),  you can use any type of coloring medium such as colored pencils, watercolors, and other types of pigments to color your image.

Thank you so much for stopping by the blog!

A Hoggy Post Holiday Card


Hello everyone and happy day after Christmas!
I have family in Iowa and live in So Cal, so speaking to them on Christmas they were at 58 degrees and beautiful weather with no snow and we were at 54 degrees with rain and wind, so it was a bit backwards for us.  I hope you all had nice weather, good food and took time to be present.  We celebrated with our oldest son, his wife and their one year old (my very active toddler grandson), my dad and my husband's sister.  Our youngest son and his little family were ill and spent the day at home recuperating. But we had a grand visit and some good food and it was a beautiful day! 

I have a fun card to share with you that showcases our Hoggy Holiday's stamp set and our Light Me Up stencil and I used the sentiment "Let it snow" from our Love You More- Christmas Frost stamp set. So let's get started on how this card came to be:


I started with a piece of Simon Says Stamp Card Stock in Schoolhouse Red cut to 4.25" x 5.5"
I then took our Light Me Up stencil and using White Pigment Ink and a blender brush, I stenciled the snowflake all over the card stock.  I then used the brush and blended more white ink all along the edges of the card stock.  I love how it looks like those frosted windows you see around the holidays with the center being the focal point.  I then let the panel dry.  I then used Ink On 3's Liquid Pixie Dust and splattered the background liberally, and oh my how I am in love with this!  I then used some white ink and watered it down and splattered the background with that as well..... and if I wanted to leave it at that I believe that would have carried this card, it was such a great panel.  But, I had this little piggy all colored up and could not wait to use him! I love his scarf and shirt and that hat... he is adorable!!!  So I cut him out, popped him up on fun foam and put him on the bottom left of the card.  Then I stamped the sentiment on black card stock 3 times with clear sticky ink and heat embossed with white, fine detail embossing powder and cut out small banners and popped them onto some foam as well.  After I placed all the elements on the card front and placed my panel onto a white A2 sized card base, I then took some Vicki Boutin Iridescent Texture Glitter Paste and put it on the tops of my sentiment strips and under neath my piggy, and since sparkle and glitter is AWESOME- I then sprinkled some Unicorn Glitter on top while the texture paste was still wet for more fun.



Hopefully you can see some of the chunks and sparkle in the close up pictures.... it is so pretty in real life.  I also put some glitter gloss on the white parts of the piggy's hat and then used a white gel pen and added some lines here and there for some added interest.


If you have any questions for me please feel free to leave me a message, and from my family to yours I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!  I added links to the sets I used in the body of the post.  You can also get our stamp sets and stencils at Simon Says Stamp or at The Rabbit Hole Designs.

Love in the Winter

Hello everyone! DTM Shanna here today with a card featuring The Rabbit Hole Design‘s new release for December, Love You More--Heart Dance! This couple is adorably in love, and I had a lot of fun making a wintery scene for them!


I started by ink blending my card panel with Distress Oxides in Milled Lavender and Dusty Rose.  Sooo pretty and pastel, totally not my normal palette!  Next I used the Light Me Up stencil to add snowflakes to the background. I used VersaMark ink and smooshed the pad over the stencil, then heat embossed in a platinum pearl embossing powder.  The end result was just dreamy!!  My sentiment was borrowed from the Love You More--Christmas Frost stamp set, which also happens to feature our favorite couple!!



I am in full Christmas Card and Tag making mode in my crafty space...what's on your table!?!

That wraps up my post for today, I will be back next week for another trip down The Rabbit Hole!  Until then you can find me over on my blog, Caffeinated Craftiness or over on Instagram!

Merry Christmouse!!!

Hey everyone! It's Amanda W taking over today! Thanks for joining me and checking out this fun Merry Mousemas Christmas card! It's been years since I made a braided edge card and thought it would be fun to bring back.


Once my card base was created, I stenciled snowflakes from the new Light Me Up stencil all over the background. I stamped, colored, cut out and popped up my mouse in the middle and heat embossed my sentiment. Then added a second heat embossed sentiment strip below that.


For finishing touches on this card I added Wink of Stella to the hat, ornament and sentiment strip. Then glossy accents to the ornament, mouse's nose and belt buckle.

Isn't he so cute!!! Have you started on your Christmas cards yet?

Mousemas Globe


Hello again, it's Amanda from Pear Blossom Press, back with another fun Christmas card! Recently, I went to the post office to mail a card I'd made. It was a little chunky with several layers of foam tape. It turned out, my card was so thick, the lady told me it was actually a package. And it cost $4 to mail it!!! In an effort to avoid high postage costs, I decided to put my cards on a diet this winter. (If my cards are on a diet, can I say I've kicked off the obligatory diet resolution early?) 

For today's card, I wanted to try out a flat shaker. Instead of a traditional shaker that has foam tape between the front window and the back of the card, a flat shaker is just a clear plastic pocket with a small amount of filler. Since there isn't a lot of space between the front and back, the filler should be fairly flat too (like glitter or sand), and it won't be able to move as freely as it would in a regular shaker. 

To start, I stamped, embossed, and Copic colored an adorable mouse from Merry Mousemas. Then, I trimmed it to fit behind a silver die cut snow globe. To make the shaker pocket, I traced along the inside edge of my die with a Fuse Tool on an empty cellophane package, leaving an opening at the bottom. Then, I added a few pinches of glitter and sealed it up.


I sandwiched the glitter pouch between the stamped image and the silver cutout. Fully assembled, it is only as thick as two pieces of cardstock. 

I stenciled snowflakes from the Light Me Up Stencil onto a pink card base. Then it was time to stick the snow globe to the card. Now, since I made it flat on purpose, you'd think I would have glued it down flat to the card, right? Well, it just felt a little too plain. So I popped it up with a layer of foam tape. (Lol, and now I'm cheating on another diet...) It's still thinner than some shaker cards I've made. And to be honest, it would have been very difficult to get a foam layer thin enough to hide under the silver edge of the globe. 



Have you ever made a flat shaker before? Let me know in the comments below. If you'd like to see another card featuring the Merry Mousemas Stamp Set, check this out. You can find more inspiration and links to the specific products I used on my blog. Thanks for stopping by today. I'll be back soon with another fun card.
