Hi everyone!
Mayuri here to share my projects for the November release - I didn't get to take part with the DT because I was off filming a class for
Craftsy! But, I had to play with the new stamps and dies, and show you what I came up with ;-)
First up, its
Bright Baubles:
This card uses one of my favourite techniques, where I take one image and stamp it repeatedly with Distress Inks. Here, I laid down an oval mask in the centre of a card base and used the christmas tree branches to stamp all the way around.
I then removed the mask and stamped the large sentiment from
Happy Holidays with black dye ink in the centre. I paired it with one of the smaller sentiments from the same set and created a few Glossy Accent embellishments with the small bauble images from
Bright Baubles. Next up,
Christmas Journaling:
For this card, I stamped one of the sentiments from the set with black dye ink onto a piece of the Cosmo Cricket 'Just Add Watercolor' paper, which I'd already added some colour to. I filled the sentiment in and stamped a couple of the stars from
Happy Holidays.
I also die cut some stars and hearts from the panel using the new
Little Bits dies before foam mounting it to a card base. I had already sponged some Delicata Golden Glitz ink on the base so that it would show through the little die cut apertures! To finish, I die-cut a sentiment using the
Happy Holidays die from some gold foil cardstock. Here's what I came up with for
Happy Ornaments:
This card was really fun, quick and easy to create - I began by white heat embossing the decorative bauble from the set onto a piece of cardstock, and simply smooshing an acrylic block on top! First, you cover the acrylic block with a few dots of ink (reinkers or Dylusions Ink Sprays work really well), and mist with water. Then, you quickly stamp with the acrylic block on top of the embossed area - when you remove the block, the ink starts to move around and blend together!
I used the
Classic Tag 1 die to create a tag out of a Distress Inked panel from my stash, and then stamped the
Sunburst image with Versamark ink. I lightly brushed the stamped areas with gold Perfect Pearls for some sparkle! I used the
Seeing Stars die to add a layer of die-cut stars beneath the tag and adhered both to the card front.
I stamped a sentiment beneath the tag from
Little Angel and then stamped the angel image onto watercolour paper. I coloured her in with Distress Inks before die-cutting her out with the matching
die and foam mounting her to the tag to finish. Here's my last card, using
Merry Little Christmas:
A simple bit of 'messy' watercolouring can make any stamp set go so far, and that's what I did here. I began by stamping a sentiment and the presents from both
Merry Little Christmas and
Santa's Ride with Archival Jet Black ink, and then adding some loose ink splats with Distress Inks. For some interest, I also went in with a white gel pen to add a bit of detail.
That's everything for now! I really hope you enjoyed my take on the November Release!
Thanks for stopping by ;-)
