Annie's Adventures: Happy Hanukkah

 Hello again friends!

Today, I am sharing my project for the Kindred Stamps Monthly sets. I used the new Annie's Adventures Happy Hanukkah stamp set. 

I started by coloring up Annie using Prismacolor and Chameleon colored pencils. I wanted a soft look and really find that colored pencils give me just that. I used a circle die from The Stamp Doctor's Circles #1 set to cut her out and layered it with another circle from the set and used a die from Stitch Circles #2 to add a bit of detail to the bottom layer.

Next, I placed the Kindred Stamps Blizzard Stencil on a sheet of blue cardstock and covered it with a layer of the DecoFoil Blanco Transfer Gel with my Stencil Pal. This I foiled with a Heidi Swapp Iridescent Silver Foil. I cut this down and layered it onto a white card base.

 I used an extra piece from The Stamp Doctor 's A2 Card in a Box to cut out the sentiment "Happy Hanukkah" from the Annie's Adventure's set. To add a bit of  interest to the die cut piece, I used i-crafter's i-brush Blender Brushes and Skysail Blue Hybrid Ink around the edges of the rectangle.

I'm excited to send this off to my friend Laura this holiday season since I colored Annie up in her likeness! Be sure to check out all of the new monthly sets available on the 16th at Kindred Stamps!

Simple but Oh So Fun!

I'm absolutely in love with the Fall release at Beth Duff Designs! It's got a little bit of everything, and it's all so cute!

Today, I'm actually sharing 3 different quick and simple cards, that were super fun to make, with 3 different sets. I will forewarn you my last card does have a cuss word, so if that upsets you, feel free to skip over it!

I started with the new Adventures Abroad - England set, I love this line, and England is a favorite of mine! This set has both large and small images and some great sentiments. 

For my card, I took the small images and using different color Delicata Inks, stamped out a patterned paper of my own. 

Next, I picked a paper from Echo Park's Wish Upon a Star paper pad that looks like newspapers layered. and put it under my homemade patterned paper. I used it to stamp my sentiment out too. I finished the card off with a few rhinestones. 

My second card features Game Time, a football themed set, perfect for back to school, and you know those NFL fans in your life. I had to color my jersey up in Seahawks colors, GO HAWKS! I was really tempted to mask out the number and make it a "12" but it felt like a lot of work for my simple theme!

Next, I made my own patterned paper again using Catherine Pooler inks, and the smaller images from the set. The card felt a little clean for the football theme, so I added some Nuvo drops and smudged them to make it a bit messy. Finally, I used some Stampin' Up layering dies to make my sentiment pop out a bit but added some more Nuvo smudges so it wasn't too clean.

My last card is a tribute to my big brother who is currently battling colon cancer. This set is called Give Cancer a Beat Down, it is an awesome set. I chose to color the ribbon blue, as that's the symbol for colon cancer. The gloves I colored in red and gold, as his favorite super hero is Iron Man. 

I sponged Catherine Pooler inks onto a DecoArt stencil that reminds me of a circuit board since he's a big techie. The sentiment is heat embossed with Stampin Up ink in Cherry Cobbler. Last, I layered the card face on shiny gold paper, then a nice royal blue paper.
