Snowflake Shaker Card

Hello!

Sharing with you today is a shaker card I made using a new stamp from the Mistletoe Farm collection illustrated by Stacey Yacula, currently available on sale at Purple Onion Designs.

Today will be the last day for the bundle sale of the full collection, sales is good till end of the day so go grab the collection before the offer is gone!

Stamps used: Snowflake, Farm horizon, Snowy trees

It's been awhile since I last made a shaker card and it's always nice to make one for Christmas season.  I picked sequins and beads with colours that resembles the snow so that it compliments the scene.  So now you know why it's always fun to make shaker cards for Christmas!

I stamped the images of Snowflake, and that one tree from snowy tree stamp, and farm horizon with my favourite Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colour them with my Copic markers.  I also blended lightly some distress ink on the background of the farm horizon to have a nice blue winter sky.

For the base card stock, if you can see at the bottom left corner, there's a tint of light orange and some specks of gold glitter just to make the whole card look a little more colourful and Christmas~y feel (:

Instead of a rectangular normal frame, I used scallop frame from Avery Elle Wonky Scalloped frames elle-ments.

I hope you like what I've shared today (:  The sale will be ending in a couple of times so be sure to grab the collection before the offer ends!

Happy paper crafting!

Have a magical holiday season

Stamps used: Ace, Pepper, Farm Horizon, Snowflake Grove sentiment set.

To create the snowy farm scene, I stamped Farm Horizon with my favourite black ink, Memento in Tuxedo black.  I blended some distress ink to create the blue dark sky resembling nightfall and I coloured the rest of the images with my Copic markers.  Again I used Ranger enamel accent in white glacier to add the random dots to create the falling snow.

Notice how the little bumps formed by the Ranger enamel accents really added some dimensional details to the card, making it a little more interesting!  

Again I used Memento ink in Tuxedo Black and stamped Ace and Pepper on some Copic friendly cardstock and then I used the PixScan function from my Silhouette Cameo to have them cut out nicely and have them coloured with my Copic markers.

Next, I cut the top and bottom panels with some cardstocks and added some dotted details at the edge using Lawn Fawn's Border die for the added details, stamped the sentiment on the lower panel and the card the almost done!

Lastly, I adhere the top and lower panels for the card with Kokuyo Dot liner, and Ace and Pepper with some foam dots.

New Collection ~ Mistletoe Farm

Hello!

If you have been following my Instagram account, you would have seen the "coming soon" graphic that the new winter collection of stamps will be available from Purple Onion Designs that is illustrated by Stacey Yacula. Well, the wait is over!

The new Mistletoe Farm collection is now available and for a limited period of time only, the whole collection will be sold at a $107.00 (at a 30% discount!).  The collection consist of 26 stamps and offer ends on 31 October 2018.  

Mistletoe Farm collection, as usual, consists lots of new cute critters and this time round, it has lots of farm animals too!  If you are a fan of Stacey Yacula, you wouldn't want to miss having this collection!

And here is my first card using a couple of stamps from Mistletoe Farm (:

Celebrate the season!

Stamps used: Maggie, Hay bale, farm horizon, winter wishes sentiments set.

The idea of Maggie sitting on top of the stack of hay bale was from a random stamping fun (what I usually do when I explore new stamps) and when I saw how cute it was for her to be sitting on the top on the stack of hay bale, with her arms wide open embracing the falling snow, I really love how the whole scene look!  Perfect expression for celebrating the season!

I stamped a couple of hay bale on Inkadinkado stamping mask paper and then cut them out for the mask stamping technique to achieve the whole image.  Here is a tutorial for the mask stamping to share.

For the scene of the snowing farm, I stamped farm horizon on a water colour cardstock with my favourite ink, Black Tuxedo from Memento.  I did some light blending using distress inks in chipped sapphire (for the sky) and iced spruce (for the snowy ground).  I wanted the image of Maggie and the hay bale to pop so I keep the rest of the colouring subtle except for the barn house.  Somehow the barn house looks prettier in red!  

To create the scene of the falling snow, I added little dots of Ranger enamel accents in Glacier white.  I simply love how it gives the dimensional look when it dries, making the snow fall looking more realistic.

No card is complete without sentiment and I find "Celebrate the season" is just the right one for this card.

I really hope you like what I've shared today!  To see more amazing projects from the design team of Purple Onion Designs featuring the new Mistletoe Farm collection, just head over to the blog and take a look!  I'm sure you will be inspired (:
