by Alisa Tilsner, in category Cards

Hey everyone!! I have got some Joy to the World Paper Pumpkin Alternatives for you today. Have you got your kit yet? If not, you’ll need to get in quick, this kit is while stocks last!

The first two cards are made directly from the kit. These are BIG cards, well they feel big to me 🙂

The following two cards use all the kit contents, but I’ve just added a few extra pieces of card and the matching Cherry Cobbler inkpad.

Don’t you just love the font they’ve used in the Sentiments? The stamp set includes the flower, the wreath, and several sentiments. You’ll be able to keep creating your Christmas cards with the stamp set, long after you’ve used up your kit supplies.

For the top card I added Cherry Cobbler Card and Ink. I stamped the flower image and the little berry dots over the Cherry Cobbler Card with matching Ink.

For the bottom card, I added Soft Seafoam Card. It was just a scrap I had in my drawer which fit perfectly! I’ve stamped on the card with the Just Jade Ink that is provided in the kit.

Here’s a quick video to show you the contents and the cards I’ve made so far.

You can purchase your own Paper Pumpkin Kit HERE for just $37. If you’re not sure what Paper Pumpkin is all about, you can find extra information HERE

Stampin’ Up! Quite Curvy Card

by Alisa Tilsner, in category Cards

Oh my Gosh! I’ve had this Stampin’ Up! Quite Curvy Card sitting by my computer ready to blog for nearly 2 weeks now!! It’s been a crazy couple of days with our Virtual Stampin’ Up! Convention.

But here it is!

Quite Curvy Card

I started out by stamping the vine and birds on Shimmery Cardstock with Stazon Ink. The vine is coloured with Mint Macaron and then Shaded Spruce Inks. The birds are coloured with Soft Suede, Flirty Flamingo and Crushed Curry. The dies cut them out beautifully!

My card base is Mint Macaron, with a layer of the new Classic Christmas 6 x 6 Paper pack in Shaded Spruce. White emboss the sentiment on a strip of Shaded spruce, mount to the card front. Assemble all your pieces and add some bling!

Click on the photos above to see the full list of supplies used in this card.

Remember that the Quite Curvy Bundle is from the upcoming Jan – June Catalogue, but the paper and the Christmas Set are only available while stocks last.

Why not think about joining my Artful Stampers Community and get the bundle in your starter kit.

Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Ink Art Triangle Card

by Alisa Tilsner, in category Cards

So I was a good girl and I used my Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Ink Art play piece and turned it into a card using the Triangle Dies. It’s great to try new techniques as sometimes it forces you out of your comfort zone when creating your card. This card is far from my usual style, don’t you think?

After I’d created my piece of art on Vellum, I cut triangles from it using the Triangle Dies. I also cut matching pieces of Whisper White card and adhered them together.

Such a simple card, I mounted the triangles onto a Thick Whisper White card base. I die cut the small triangle strip from Cherry Cobbler and adhered it over the alcohol ink triangles. Finished with a sentiment and a scattering of Rhinestones.

The Triangle Dies are a really great way to showcase your Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Ink Art. In case you missed the video in yesterday’s post, here it is again.

I’ve got some other ideas brewing now too! This won’t be the last time you see me playing with this, it’s addictive!

Who makes 3D projects, I don’t normally, but today I have an Easy Christmas Treat Box using the Tree Angle Stamp Set to decorate it.

Christmas Treat Box

It’s a super simple box to create. A few score lines, a few snips and a small amount of adhesive and you’re done!

The colours I’ve used are Real Red, Granny Apple Green and Crumb Cake. The paper is from the Heartwarming Hugs DSP Pack. I’ve actually decorated the box in a different way, which you can see in the video below.

Just in case you missed the measurements, the card is 15.5cm x 9.5cm. On the long side, score at 1.5cm, 6.5cm, 8.5cm and 13.5cm. Turn card and score at 1.5cm.

Christmas Card featuring Snowflake Splendor Suite

by Alisa Tilsner, in category Cards, Videos

Hi everyone, today I’m sharing a Christmas Card Featuring the Snowflake Splendor Suite.

Snowflake Splendor Christmas Card

The snowflake on this card has quite a bit of sparkle and glimmer and height!! It’s got a couple of dimensionals holding it together, but I do find by giving it height it helps each individual snowflake stand out from the others.

Snowflake Splendor Christmas Card

Super simple card and only uses one colour of ink – Pacific Point.

Just for a change, because I felt I need a little person interaction, I filmed a Facebook Live for this card. I do enjoy the Lives, but struggle with those who don’t like watching replays… but I guess you can always fast forward the bits you don’t want to see 🙂

Anyway… If you click on the either of the two video’s you can see a full list of supplies that I used to create the card.

Don’t forget that this DSP is also on sale during October. You can find a full list of the papers HERE or over on my Online Store

Cheers for now – Alisa
