Winter Wonderland Card

My card for you today is a 5" X 7" white card stock base. I added a black mat cut a 4 3/4" X 6 3/4". I then added some snowflake paper from the My Minds Eye Winter Wonderland  6" X6" paper pad. I then cut some white card stock to look like a snow mound and added some Flower Soft Glitter Frosting Hint of Green. I wanted to cut my pond from some of the Tim Holtz Mirror Sheets. I will tell you it did not cut well with my Cricut. I cut the pond from the Create a Critter cartridge at 1 1/2" and used my Gypsy to hide the little ripples that cut. (The pond is found under the accessory feature on the hippo cut). I used a multi cut of 4 and did that twice so 8 times but it still didn't cut. I did use the line cut by my cricut and my Tim Hotlz scissor to cut out my pond. I cut my ice skater at 4 1/2". I used paper from my stash for her. I then stamped my sentiment. Sure hope you like her. It was a bit hard to photograph the mirrored paper and it is picking up the reflection from the "white snow".

Vroom, Vroom...

The CardzTV Design Team challenge this week was to make a card for a man. This is what I came up with.

I decided to make a tall card. My card base is 4" X 9" and is from Kraft card stock. I then used some paper from the Tim Holtz Kraft  Core card stock from the Nostalgic Collection by Core'de nations. I cut the paper at 3 3/4" X 8 3/4" and ran the top 3/4 of the paper through the cuttlebug  and embossed the paper with the Tim Holtz Clock & Steampunk Set and then lightly sanded it so the kraft stock showed through. I adhered the truck to the card with some foam tape. To finish the card I had some gray nail heads that I painted with some Sea Kelp green Glimmer Glaze and stamped my sentiment from the Pink Stampers Boy Crazy stamp set with some Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. Thanks for visiting.

Distressed Inks

On Tuesday evening I took a class at my local stamping store on Distress Inks. The Distress Inks are a product of Ranger and were created by Tim Holtz. I had a great time at my class and learned a lot. we used four different techniques in creating cards. We used the craft sheet by Ranger and the mini misters. Here are some pictures of the cards we made. I can hardly wait until I can spend some time at home experimenting with the techniques I learned.
