Penny Black Saturday Challenge August ATG or Embossing

 Penny Black Saturday Challenge

August Challenge

Anything Goes

or the optional theme-

"Embossing"

Birdhouse Berries

I am not a "professional embosser" 😁...I get powder all over the place and make a mess. That's just me I guess. I am still trying though. 

For my cards today I used this beautiful winter stamp. I embossed one with black and one with gold and did some simple watercoloring.

I did a little watercoloring with a fun little Prang watercolor set I got just for the fun of it several years ago and never used.  Time to use my stuff!

The Noel sentiment is from Holly Circle and the hello is from an old Technique Tuesday stamp set.

I would love for you to hop over to our challenge blog 

and join in the fun.  The link is at the top of this page.

Lori Whitlock December Tutorial

Hello there! My tutorial today is not on construction of a file but is more about time savings! We are all busy this time of year so I am going to show you how I whip up a few cute Lori Whitlock gift tags in minutes!

I chose a set of tags that were same style, different design. That's not necessary but makes for fast tracking your project if your time is limited and you want to add a special touch to your gifts. I double all the pieces to make 2 sets of tags.

Christmas Tag Santa (Lori Whitlock SVG, Silhouette)

Christmas Tag Penguin  (Lori Whitlock SVG, Silhouette)

Christmas Tag Polar Bear  (Lori Whitlock SVG, Silhouette)

Christmas Tag Snowman  (Lori Whitlock SVG, Silhouette)

In the Lori Whitlock Store you can also buy all of these tags as a bundle HERE.

 If you have a cutting machine, you should pop over and see an easy way to make these cute tags.

I hope you can find a few minutes to make these gift tags.

I colored this cute little Christmas sack of meecies with copics and fussy cut it out and added in to this festive little winter scene. The sentiment is part of the stamp set. The card was cut with my Silhouette. I used Snowy Woods & House Layered A3 Card # 68746. I did mirror the design so it fit my image.

Bio.

I have been drawing since a child and studied graphics at College many years ago, I now work as a Medical photographer part time but my love was always drawing. I started cardmaking about 4yrs ago when I bought my daughter a cardmaking kit which we did together, but I’m afraid I got the bug! My daughter preferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and this then became my passion and I loved sharing my cards with like minded people.

I love stamping and loved finding images, but sometimes I could not find what I wanted so I started to draw myself. This then has become my second addiction and I have never looked back, I love thinking of new images, and its just fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue!

 Thanks for stopping in today, I do hope you 

enjoyed checking out my House Mouse inspiration!

Lori Whitlock November Blog Hop

 Flat Fold Tudor House Bundle

Aren't these so fun???  I love all the detail on these houses.  (Lori's Store, Silhouette Store House 1, House 2, House 3)

In Lori's store you can purchase them in a bundle or singly. 

I cut them in a festive color theme and decorated them with bits and pieces from  several other Lori Whitlock files. I used the swag and trees from Christmas House Card (Lori's Store, Silhouette Store) and the wreath and red bow from the Gingerbread House Treat box (Lori's Store, Silhouette Store).(I resized the decorations to fit the Tudor houses) 

Notice the details on all sides of the houses too!

I added in the inside window pane piece and then added vellum over the window openings. (cut pieces for all that included).  I will then add some little battery lights inside so the light shines through the windows.  These houses fold flat for storage or mailing.

 We are here with a new challenge for you.

Anything Goes 

with the option theme of 

Winter ❄️☃️

Hosted by our Talented Teamie- Sue Kment

Hot Cocoa Days

Simon Says Large Falling Snow Slimline Stencil 

 Hero Arts White Paste

I colored this cutie stamp with copics. I then masked off the window frame, snow and Mudpie, Maxwell and Monica and blended the blue background on with distress inks. I used white paste with the Slimline Falling Snow stencil and added the glittery snow on  the window sills last. The sentiment is actually from Merry Little Christmas because I could not find the Hot Cocoa sentiment stamp(until I finished the card wouldn't you know it!) I love how these stamps come with 2 or 3 sentiments each!   I matted the image on to some festive cardstock and that was it!!!
