Today’s card is really quite simple. I’ve used grey card stock and drawn on loads of little stars, deliberately making them a bit wonky and different, then I’ve added a simple Papirdesign sentiment before using of the stamps from MFT Stamps as the focal point. I put it on a piece of foam so it’s not entirely flat. Cards don’t need to be very complicated.
I’ve been looking at the adorable penguin stamps by Crissy Armstrong at Whimsy Stamps for a while and this month I finally got around to purchasing a few of them. Two of them have made their way onto cards so far and today I will show you the first one of them.
The card is made using various Maja Design paper and my favourite Go Kreate dies. The text stamp is by Norsk Stempelblad and apart from painting the edges white and using a bit of twine and lace, I’ve kept the card free of embellishments.
Once again time prevents me from adding the colours, but I’ve mostly used Ns, low Ws and R20s.
I have actually made quite a few red Christmas cards this year. Today I want to show you another card I made for a card swap. I used a super cute little gnome painting up one of the presents in his workshop this time. The stamp is by Lili of the Valley. The papers are by Maja Design and the chipboard is by Make It Crafty.
I’m running a bit behind still, so if there are any colours you’d like to know, just ask 🙂
From tomorrow I should be able to get the posts up a bit earlier in the day again. This is what happens when you don’t have time to schedule up any, and write them all up on the day they go live! For this card I’ve used stamps from MFT Stamps, paper by Maja Design and a Papirdesign text stamp. Simple, but fun card!
I haven’t really got the time to list all the Copic Markers I used today, but if there’s a combination you’d like to know, just ask me!
Today is my second day on the Copic Marker Norge blog this month for our advent calendar. You don’t need the most typical Christmas stamps to make Christmas cards. This, for example, gets most of its Christmas feel through the colours I’ve used on the papers. The cute stamp is by Wee Stamps / Whimsy Stamps and I’ve used various papers from Maja Design. I’ve used a text stamp by Norsk Stempelblad and ribbon bought at Panduro. The card shame is made with dies from Go Kreate and I’ve edged the pieces with white acrylic paint.
Here is a close-up photo of the colouring. I wanted to show you how the wings, ear muffs and snow looks. To get that effect I simply played around with various light coloured markers, but with a bit extra focus on blue, until I got it how I wanted.
