ARTplorations Stencil Blog Hop

Hi friends! Today I have two simple and clean Christmas cards made for ARTplorations Stencil Blog Hop!

This hop is an one-day event where STAMPlorations ladies feature the 8 stencils designed by Sanna. Sanna's stencils are now in the STAMPlorations store, you can check out this page for more details.

Here're my cards using Christmas Tree 1 and Leaves 2.

For this CAS card, I'm showcasing Christmas Tree 1 stencil. I first applied mowed lawn and peacock feathers distress inks on white cardstock.

Moved the stencil slightly and also drew the tree outlines with black pen. 

Then, I cut the cardstock to isosceles triangle shape and adhered it to kraft card.

I also stamped the sentiment below the tree, so the sentiment looks like tree stem.

To finish off, I added a red star on the top of the tree.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the second card, I started by putting the stencil on white panel and applying embossing paste.

I also embossed the paste in gold.

Next, I adhered the panel on the center of card with foam for some dimension.

To finish off, I cut the sentiment from Be Jolly Phrase Die.

traveler's notebook spreads 旅行筆記 手帳生活

Hi friends, Today I would like to share two traveler's notebook spreads.

I have no time to stay in my craft room recently, because my office is too busy, but I still steal little time to document my life.

今日要與大家分享兩篇旅行者筆記的內頁設計，希望大家喜歡!

For my first spread, I started by applying some light inks, using stencil and embossing paste to create some texture.

I decorated my left page with some flowers which were cut from Maggie Holmes' pattern paper. The original color of flowers is white, I colored them with Zig real brush pens. 

I also added a glitter "bloom" diecut shape.

I layered my photo using a window (from Lawn Fawn wonderful window die cut) and a piece of stencil. 

I made a tutorial video. You can watch the video tutorial here or on YouTube.

To finish off, added two little birds and butterfly sticker for some interest.

For the second, I used Felicity Jane's pattern paper as my background. 

I stamped sentiment with Kelly Purkey's , and added the '5' chipboard sticker. 

Then, I layered a frame patterned paper, banner and lace underneath my photo, adhered it to the right side of my notebook. I also used some flower diecut shapes.

I'm so happy with how this spread turned out! Hope you like it. Thank you.

Addicted to Stamps and More Challenge #144

Hi everyone,

Welcome to another Addicted to Stamps and More Challenge, 

This week our theme is CAS! 

Here is my DT card.

This is a simple card with a simple background and adorable penguins.

I started by creating the nestled circles background. I put the nestled circles stencil (from STAMPlorations) on the white cardbase, and then I applied some white embossing paste on the top of the stencil.

After the white paste dried, I applied some bright and deep blue inks on it with blending tools.

 I really like the ombre look! 

The adorable penguins were colored with markers, and trimmed with scissors.

 I also stamped the sentiment with black ink.

Hope you play along with us,

 the winner will get 4 digis from our sponsor- Sweet Pea Stamps.

Thank you for standing by.

Have a nice day.

Enjoy the small moments

Hi, It's Wei Wei. It's getting biting cold recently. Hope you all well. 

I stay home this weekend because of the bad weather. 

But I really enjoy this small moments and would like to share this CAS card with you.

Having a cup of hot tea is the best thing in the cold winter.

I sipped my tea, savored the stillness, and created my card!

I started by cutting the cup and colour it with blended inks. 

Next, I created the teabag by using sliver thread and a piece of pattern paper.

To give the cup a fun shadow effect, I added white embossing paste. 

Finally, I stamped the sentiment and painted the steam with copic maker.

冷風颼颼的天氣，做了一張應景的卡片。
茶杯的刀模是貝登堡產品，然後再用上色海綿推色。
為了不讓茶杯太單調，加了最近很喜歡的paste技巧在杯底，
看起來像桌巾，也可以當成影子。
蠻滿意這樣的效果。

Thank you for standing by.
