Make it Merry with Anja

Posted by Anja Bytyqi | Nov 24, 2022 | Uncategorized

Hi everyone, Anja here with you today sharing another holiday card made with a mix of new and older products. I love when images from different stamp sets can be easily combined. On my card, I used the bear and fox from the Merry Makers set and one of the Penguins on Ice. I started off with a white A2 landscape card base which I covered with two pieces of patterned paper. I then stamped the critters in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copics. I used the coordinating dies to cut out the images and adhered...

Warm Hugs with Anja

Hello everyone, Anja here today with a lovely winter themed card made with the Snowman Hugs stamps and the Warm Hugs Words Die. I started off with a white card base (slightly taller than A2) and trimmed down a piece of bokeh patterned paper. You probably could achieve a similar look with ink blending, a stencil that has multiple sizes of circles and white pigment ink. The image was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and I colored these cuties with Copic markers. I used the coordinating die to cut out the image which I adhered with foam squares....

Hi everyone, Anja here sharing a Fall themed card combining some of the new Do the Gobble and Friendsgiving stamps from the latest October Release. I started off with a white A2 landscape card base and did some ink blending on the front to create a warm background. The Distress Oxide colors I used are Shattered Straw and Dried Marigold with a little touch of Saltwater Taffy at the bottom. Next, I created a window cutting the largest of the Nesting Half-Circle Dies from a gorgeous plaid patterned paper panel. I cut it down to fit the A2 card...

Boo to You with Anja

Happy Friday everyone, Anja here today with a Clean & Simple Halloween card. I combined the freaking cute Frightful Little Bits stamps with the large Boo to You Words Die. I started off with a purple A2 landscape card base and trimmed down a white cardstock panel to be slightly smaller. Then I added a couple of paint splatters with a brush. Next, I die cut the word die from a black patterned paper as well as from pink cardstock. To create a shadow look, I shifted the die-cuts a bit when adhering them on top of each other....

Warm and Cozy Wishes with Anja

Hi everyone, Anja here with you today. Fall is just around the corner, so I made a card with the Coffee Friends stamp set which features some cute woodland critters, a pumpkin and autumn leaves. Oftentimes, I get inspired by patterned paper. Love this color palette for Fall! I started off with an A2 card base and trimmed down the dark green patterned paper to the same size. For the leafy print, I used a Nesting Deckle A2 Die and adhered it at an angle. Next, I die cut two circles from white and dark grey cardstock with the...
