Reindeer in a ring of lights

Hi everybody, here is the Reindeer in the ring of lights card I made for the new stamps launch.
I used the A5 Rings and the Winter Wonderland stamp sets from Colourific.

Here’s what you will need:
A5 Rings Stamps
Winter Wonderland Stamps
Versafine
Clear Embossing Powder
Watercolour Pencils
Multicoloured Fineliners
Distressed Oxides - Peeled Paint
White Stamping card
Black Card
White card blank (I used 7x7”)
Glossy Accents

Here’s how I made it

1. Stamp the ring of lights in the centre of the stamping card (6x6”) using black Versafine and clear embossing powder.
2. Stamp the deer and fawn in the centre of the ring and emboss. 
3. Colour the main deer image in with Watercolour Pencils and the lights on the ring in felt tip pens (I used fineliners).
4. Draw in some green grass under the Reindeer so that they aren’t floating!
5. Using the Distress Oxide, blend all round the edge then sprinkle (flick) water on the ink - then blot with kitchen roll to give the white marks.
6. Mount onto black card (6.5x6.5”) then onto the card blank.
7. Use Glossy Accents on the fairy lights to make them shine - then let it dry.
8. Add the sentiments using the black versafine and clear embossing powder, mat and layer onto black card and add to the finished card.

All done - obviously you can play around with images in the rings and change the border colours - have a play.

See ya later!

Winter Wonderland Magnet

Fancy a change from making cards?  Here is an idea for a fridge magnet:

Here is what you need:

2.5" diameter MDF circle

White Stamping Card

Winter Wonderland Stamp Set

Versafine ink pad Onxy Black

Alcohol pens

White pen - I used a Uniball Signo

Clear or white Glitter

Dries Clear glue

Glass paper (sandpaper)

Clear varnish or Glossy Accents

Magnet

Here is what I did

1. Stamp the image of the two deer's on a piece of stamping card and colour in using your favourite preferred colouring tools. 
2. Underline the characters with glue and glitter to ground them and the border between the sky and snow.
3. Glue onto the MDF circle and wait until it dries.
4. Cut out around the circle leaving a millimetre overhanging, use the glass paper to smooth the edges. 
5. Cover the image with a thin layer of varnish and let this dry.  Top Tip  - Don't try to do this on a hot day - I did and it was not happy!!!!
6. Outline the edge with glue and glitter.
7. Attach a magnet onto the back.  I cut some off a self adhesive roll.

You Passed - A6 Sports Car Stamp Set

Good Morning

Alice here with another extra blog.   Today I am sharing another little card I made using the A6 Sports Car Clear Stamp set from Colourific.  Have a look here to find this any many more fabulous and well priced stamp sets.

This is a great little stamp set for those difficult to make "Men's Cards".

Materials Used:

6x6 White Card

5.75 x 5.75 Black Square

5.25 x 5.25 white mat.  

Herring Bone Stencil 

A6 Sports Car Stamp Set

"L" and "P" Die

Square Die Set

I inked through the white mat, missing out every third section in the stencil so that it looked like tyre treads. I layered the card with the black then white mat .  I used the square die set to cut out a red and black square.  On the black square I inked through the whole Herring Bone Stencil with Versa mark and embossed with clear powder then matted the squares together.  I used foam pads to add them diagonally to the card.    I stamped the car onto white card and coloured with red and grey copic markers.  I gave it some shape with a bone folder then placed it onto the card.  I cut out an "L" from red card and a "P" from Green card and glued these onto white card.  I cut through the "L" with zig zag scissors and placed one in each corner.  I added some greeting sentiments to the card and finished off with some "Traffic Light" coloured gems.

Thank you for looking

See you next time

Cars and Stars - A6 Sports Car Stamp Set

Good Morning Everyone

Alice here with my Monday morning blog.  I made this little Card and Artist Trading Coin using the Colourific A6 Sports Car set.  This is a great little set for those often difficult to make "Male" cards and you can find it by clicking here

Materials Used:  Black Card, White Card, Silver Glitter Card and 2 sheets of background paper.  Black and Red Glitter Pens and some Copic Pens.

I embossed a piece of white card with a star embossing folder and matted this onto a piece of black card and attached both to the card base.  I cut the background papers at an angle and overlapped them onto the bottom of the card.

I Cut out 1 large star on white card and added the cogs for the background, then mounted in onto a Silver Glitter Card Star.  I added 2 smaller black stars to each side of the larger star and place a silver glitter star in the centre.  

I coloured in the car with the various pens ad added Glossy Accent to the windows.  I also used a white pen to add some light shadows to the car.  I curled it slightly and placed it over the stars with some sticky pads.

Finally, I stamped and cut the the "Life in the Fast Lane" sentiment and cut up the words and attached to the card.  I used a "Happy Birthday" stamp from my stash.  Had no "Dad" stamps so that was handwritten.

To use up the extra papers, I made an Artist Trading Coin, and used the "Life in the Fast Lane" sentiment again.  I had a rosette in my stash and used this and added a cog on top of it.

Hope you like them 
See you next time

Father's Day Sports Cars - A6 Sports Car Stamp Set

Hello Everyone

Alice here with my usual Monday Morning Blog.  Father's Day is approaching soon, so I thought I would get out the Colourific A6 Sports Car stamps to make a little card.  You can find this stamp set on the Colourific Website here

Materials:  Blank DL Card, 2 sheets background paper, A6 Sports Card stamps, Glitter Pens and Copics.  Peel Off borders.  Also used some die cut sentiments and a set of alphabets from my stash.

Measured each square of background paper 2in in from each corner and cut it diagonally. Glued the darker piece in place first, then added the 2 corners and added some peel off borders to set it off.

Stamped the cars, and cut one in half. Coloured all 3 pieces using copics and glitter pens and added Glossy Accents to the windows.  Placed the full car in the centre and raised with sticky pads.  The cut cars were placed at either side of the card.  Stamped the Triangle Warning 3 times and added the word Dad to it.  The sentiments are die cut works

Thank you for looking.
See you next week

Life in the Fast Lane - A6 Sports Car Stamp Set

Good Morning All

Welcome to my first blog as Design Team Member for Colourific.  I have used the A6 Sports Car stamp set for my first card.  

·         I used a stencil to ink through the corners of a background paper and matted it onto a piece of navy card.  

·         Stamped the wheels/cogs from the same stamp set to make the little background panel and a very old background map stamp from my stash (I have no idea where it came from) for the other panel.  These were both matted onto navy card.

·          The  car was stamped and coloured with copic markers and fussy cut.  I used Glossy Accents in the windows and along the trim and round the wheels of the car.

·          Used some glitter card and matted it onto navy card for the border.

·          Finally I stamped the “Life in the Fast Lane” stamp from this set onto white card and embossed and matted onto navy card.
