If I'm not scrapbooking I'm thinking about scrapbooking!

To all a good night card

The story

I created this Christmas card to enter into the October “Merry Everything” challenge at Stay Crafty with A Blog Named Hero. I will also be sending it in to the HeroFest Holiday Cheer Card Drive to be donated to the Bay Area Rescue Mission in support of the homeless.

Product/technique notes

For this card, I stamped the images and sentiment from the “Holiday Silhouette” set from Indadinkado and ink blended the night sky using Distress Oxide inks in tumbled glass, faded jeans, and chipped sapphire.

I created this Christmas card to enter into the October “Merry Everything” challenge at Stay Crafty with A Blog Named Hero. I will also be sending it in to the HeroFest Holiday Cheer Card Drive to be donated to the Bay Area Rescue Mission in support of the homeless.

Product/technique notes

I created this look with an emboss resist technique. I stamped and heat embossed the images from the Hero Arts “Origami Happy Holidays” set and then ink blended over them with three colors of Distress Oxide ink: evergreen bough, pine needles, and black soot. I fashioned the sentiment with a die and stamp from the Hero Arts “Joy Stamp & Cut” set.

The story

I really enjoyed making this Thanksgiving card, which I’m entering in the Pinkfresh Studio October fall leaves challenge.

Product/technique notes

I stenciled and die cut the leaves with Pinkfresh Studio’s “Fall Foliage” set and Distress Oxide inks, stamped and fussy cut the pinecone from Jen Hadfield’s “Warm & Cozy” stamp set, stamped and ink blended the woodgrain background from Honey Bee Stamps and die cut it with a Pinkfresh Studio mini slimline die, and stamped and embossed the sentiment with a Making Memories set from 2009!
