DEC SID- Winter Wishes

Here is the December card sketch for Stick It Down.


Instead of doing ribbon or strips of paper I decided on using layers of vellum to create the breaks from the sketch. I white embossed some snowflakes on the card before adding color with some Distress Oxide inks and spritzing the panel with some water. I then heat embossed my sentiment on some vellum, tearing the paper for some added texture to the edges. I then layered the vellum onto my card panel, before adhering it to my card base. To finish the card I added some wooden silver snowflakes to the front.

Thanks for stopping by and please stop by the blog to see what my other teammies have created and play along with us! Have a great day and Merry Christmas!

NOV SID- Thanks

Hello and welcome the Stick it Down Nov Sketch!!!

I loved the ink drip look on the Sketch this month and new I wanted to use a set I got from Hero Arts a year or two ago. I thought it was perfect for the sketch and this time of year! Since the stamp set is a layered set I started by stamping the more solid letters using distress oxide inks and then spritzed them with water, letting the water help the color drip down. Once it was dry I took the outlined layer of the letters and stamped in a dark brown... as well as the smaller parts sentiments. I then trimmed my sentiment panel and adhered it to my card base. Love the look and the Thanks take the stage on my card so to speak. ;-)

Hope you play along with us this month and every month over at SID, we have 3 new sketches every month... 2 for scrappers and 1 for cardmakers! I can't wait to see you take on the sketches this month. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

OCT SID- Thankful For You

Welcome to my post for Stick It Down's October card sketch. Head over to the blog to the DT's work for the card and both scrapbook sketches!


Here is my card for the sketch this month! I didn't change much for my take on the sketch this month, I know I wanted to make it a fall theme and thought the rings on the card reminded me of a wreath. I stamped various leaves in a large circle pattern using a few colors of ink on each one. I then stamped the leaves outlines and the sentiment. I used my sentiment towards the bottom corner instead of the top corner. To finish the card I added some sequins for a little sparkle on my "wreath".

Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see your creations over at the Stick it Down blog! Have a great day!

MLC Oct- Joy to the World

ETA: ever have a post done ready to go and forgot to hit publish!!! Welp that's exactly what I did, so if you were looking for my post from the blog, sorry I'm late with the details! 

Hello and welcome to post for the Merry Little Christmas challenge blog October challenge. It is as always anything goes as long as it's Christmas!

The presents on the card are from an ephemera pack, that I colored and adhered to the music paper. I then adhered it to a layer of green cardstock before adding it to blue card base. I stamped and colored the wreath then added the sentiment, before fussy cutting it and popping it up on my card. To finish the card I added some sequins in a blue that coordinated with the cardbase.

Hope you plan to stop by the blog to see my teammates cards and to play along with us! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!!
