Gina K Designs Ocean Minded Card

Hero Arts December 2020 Kit Card

I love the new Hero Arts December kit I just received. The clouds are a three  layering stamp set that is easy to use. I love the awesome clouds that can be added to any card. I stamped the first layer with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink. The second layer I used Speckled Egg Distress Ink and the third layer with CTMG Pebble ink. The ocean is a two layer stamp set and I first used Tumbled Glass and the next layer with Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink. I stamped the bird and sentiment with Versafine Tuxedo Black. To make the sun and sun rays I used Versamark Embossing pad and then inked the stamps with Hero Arts Lemon Drop Reactive ink. I used Ranger Clear Embossing Power and used my heat gun to melt it. I used double sided foam tape to elevate the ocean and the sentiment. The final thing I did to the card was to add Clear Wink of Stella Marker on the with part of the waves.

To make this card I used:

Stamps: Hero Arts December Kit and Papertrey Text & Texture Ocean

Paper: CTMH Daisy White Cardstock and Neenah #110 Crest Solar White Cardstock

CTMH Warmest Wishes & Mason Jar Bouquet Christmas Card

CTMH Warmest Wishes & Mason Jar Bouquet Christmas Card 

I wanted to try and make an Art Deco mason jar Christmas card. I did not want to use the snow globe stamp & die. I first die cut the mason jar three times to have a sturdy base for the jar. I used a blending brush to add a hint of blue color. I stamped the palm tree and flamingo and fussy cut them. Next I embossed the base stamp of the Warmest Wishes snow globe in silver embossing powder. I had to trim the base to fit the mason jar opening. I spattered a clear and silver glitter brush to make faux snow on the jar. To add more glitz I added small snowflakes. To finish the card I used a small dot embossing folder and added two silver shimmer trim.

CTMH Reindeer Crossing Ornament Card

I dug out a retired CTMH stamp of the month and made this beautiful wreath card. I am so pleased with it and it is going to my special friend Lisa. I used the 3D lumber embossing folder on toffee cardstock and then swiped two distress inks on it. The wreath is a detachable wreath ornament. The wreath I fussy cut all the pine leaves and  I made dots using the red stickles and added them to the wreath in bunches of three.

I made this card for my grandchildren and I have another one one half done. I ran into a glitter mess because I did not heat the embossing powder all the way.

The background was sprayed with a mister bottle and Clear Glitter Pen. I cased this card from Mindy Eggen because it is a beautiful card layout. Here is the link:
