Happy Monday, Anja here with a sweet card using the Joyful Mouse and Cheery Greetings set. First, I created a colorful background using the Ink Smooshing technique and Distress Oxide Inks (Abandoned Coral, Seedless Preserves, Tattered Rose). Therefore, I pressed the ink pads on my non-stick craft mat and heavily spritzed the inks with water. I grabbed a piece of Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor Cardstock and dipped it into the ink puddles. I dried my panel with a heat gun before adding each new layer. I repeated the process until I was happy with the result. I also added...

Hi everyone, Anja here with a wintry friendship card using two cuties from the Skating Party set. I colored the images with Copic markers and cut them out with the Skating Party dies. I created an Alcohol Ink background using aqua, turquoise and blue tones. Next, I die cut a square panel with a circle window opening and popped it up with foam tape. The sentiment was white heat embossed on a strip of black cardstock. I cut the ends into a fishtail shape with scissors and adhered the banner over the circle window. To decorate my card, I...

Hi everyone, Anja here with a new card featuring the adorable Yeti or Not set. I created a winter scene and used non-traditional colors for my snowy sky. I blended together the Distress Oxide Inks Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick, Abandoned Coral, Candied Apple and Aged Mahogany on Strathmore Bristol Smooth Cardstock. After letting it dry completely, I stamped the Falling Snow Background in VersaMark and white heat embossed it. Next, I colored the cute yeti and little reindeers with Copic markers and cut them out with the companion dies. I used one of the Hill and Dale dies to...

Hello everyone, Anja here with another card mixing and matching stamp sets. I combined the Greetings Bear with the Bee Happy set. For the gradient background, I blended together three Distress Oxide Inks (Worn Lipstick, Spun Sugar, Tattered Rose). I stamped the hexagons with VersaMark sticky ink and heat embossed them in Gold. Next, I colored the images with Copic markers and cut them out using the companion dies. I love how you can tuck something (like this honey pot) inbetween the bear’s paws. The sentiment is included in the Farmyard Little Bits stamp set and I white heat...

Hi everyone! Anja here with a fun little Christmas card. I couldn’t resist to dress up this cute Pig Day fellow with a Santa’s Hat from the Joyful Mouse set. I colored the images with Copic markers and cut them out with the companion dies. I stamped the Cozy Plaid Background with Bundled Sage Distress Oxide Ink onto some light green cardstock. Next, I die cut a circle window and put a piece of white woodgrain cardstock behind the opening. I stamped the sentiment from Away in a Manger in black and popped up the panel with fun foam....
