Chinchilla Christmas

Merry Christmas!

Our vet asked me to create a Christmas card featuring a chinchilla.
I found a digital image online and used the print and cut function in my Silhouette Cameo to print and cut this chinchilla. Then I stamped the hat from Lawn Fawn with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating die to cut it out. Next I used Copic markers to color them.

I colored the background with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink and stamped the leaves from Uniko with Emerald Altenew ink.

Finally I stamped the sentiment, also from Uniko, with Emeral Altenew ink and adhered the chinchilla with foam tape to create some dimension.

- Chinchilla digital image
- Silhouette Cameo

Another Christmas Card in September

Happy Friday!

Here I have another Christmas in September card I want to share with you.

Lately I ordered the beautiful Sparkling Snowflake die from Uniko which was still lying here on my desk screaming to be used ;-)

I was inspired by the colors of the Color Hues challenge and this is the card I made.

First I die cut the snowflake 2 times and colored them with 2 different Altenew ink colors. As the name of the die is Sparkling Snowflake I wanted to add a little sparkle to my card so I added some Cosmic Shimmer Paste on top of the turquoise snowflake.
I used foam tape to adhere these 2 snowflakes to the card base.

Next I stamped the sentiment from the Festive Sentiments set with Sapphire Altenew ink and colored the edges of the strip with the same ink.

Finally I wanted to add some paint splatters to the card but I didn't want use a paint brush because I wanted to have control over these splatters. Instead I used the Distressed Patterns from MFT and stamped them with Turquoise Altenew ink.

I want to share my card at:

- Color Hues #2

Supplies
- Uniko - Sparkling Snowflake die
- Uniko - Festive Sentiments
- MFT - Distressed Patterns
- Altenew ink:

AAA Birthday Challenge #16 - Tac Tac Toe

Hi crafty friends,

Good morning AAA Birthday fans! We started a new challenge today and this time it's a Tic Tac Toe Challenge. We would love for you to take some inspiration from the challenge board below, using three elements in a row of your choice. Whatever row inspires you is what we challenge you to create!

For my card I combined embossing - washi - window.

I first used the Woven Embossing Folder and ran it through my Big Shot. Then I used a rectangle die to create the window.

Next I taped down some washi tape from Karin Joan, stamped the butterfly from Uniko and used the coordinating die to cut it out.

I adhered the embossed paper with foam tape to the card base for dimension and did the same with the butterfly.

Finally I stamped the sentiment from Mama Elephant with Altenew Obsidian Black ink.

Supplies

- Square die

- Karin Joan Washi Tape

Happy Birthday

Hi crafty friends,

Today I combined several challenges for my card.

I first stamped the flowers from Uniko with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored them with Copic markers.

I then cut them out by hand and adhered them on the stitched rectangle die from MFT. I could have stamped these flowers directly onto this die but in the beginning I didn't know exactly what I was going to do.

To add more green to the card I colored the edge of this die with a green Copic marker.

Then I embossed the background with a Craft Concepts embossing folder.

I adhered the rectangle die with the flowers onto this embossed background and added the sentiment from SSS.
