Let’s Fa La La!

Want to go caroling with these cuties?! I would even brave the cold to sing with these guys! I had a lot of fun coloring these guys with Copic Markers, and then fussy cut them out.

Tip: If you have hard to cut out places like between their legs and arms- use a Finger Xacto, and cut those out first while they are still on a larger piece of cardstock. Then using detail scissors cut out the rest of the images. I like Fiskars Spring Actioned scissors. I have been using them for over a decade and are still my favorite!

I used Lawn Fawn’s Puffy Cloud Border for a snowy ground. I stenciled Tim Holtz’s Burst mini layering stencil with Scattered Straw Distress Oxide using a Distress Blending Brush. I absolutely LOVE those for stenciling…. perfect! Then I ink blended a touch of Tumbled Glass Distress Ink. The small music notes are from Critter Concert Lawn Fawn set.

Lastly using a Lawn Fawn Glue Tube I added some Lawn Fawn Chunky Glitter… I love it so much!

Happy Holidays

“In the meadow, we can build a snowman…” For this fun little scene, I stamped the images on some Neenah Cardstock and colored them in with Copic Markers, I also stamped them in position on the smooth side of Distress Watercolor Cardstock. I fussy cut out the images. I tore the bottom where the snowy ground is, so there isn’t a harsh cut line. Tip: don’t bother trying to cut out the fringe on the scarves, or the mouses tail, since those are stamped on the card base you don’t need to bother.

On the card background, I ink blended some Tumbled Glass and Spun Sugar Distress Ink. Using a Distress Sprayer, I spritzed some water droplets and then heat set the background. Next, I inked the background with a Versamark Ink Pad, pressing the ink pad all over the card. I sprinkled it with Hero Arts Sparkle embossing powder and melted it with a heat tool. Then I adhered my fussy cut images out with a Lawn Fawn Glue Tube.

I added a touch of Prisma glitter to the ground, candy cane, etc with a Quickie Glue Pen. The little white details you can see on their cheeks, and scarves were added with a Uni Posca extra fine white paint marker.

Using and Storing Unmounted Stamps

Earlier this year I shared some other fun cards with Purple Onion Designs. Since their stamps come red rubber with no cling, I also shared how I go about using them and storing them. Super SIMPLE! You can see all of those details here. I hope this helps and shows you how easy it is to use these stamps because Purple Onion really has some adorable designs!

Hope you enjoyed these cards and my tips were helpful for you and your crafty space!
