To You All...

Hello again!
Here's a card made using some more new Hero Arts digikits.  The cute penguins are from the Christmas Critters kit, and the lovely snowflake background stamp is from the Holiday Houses kit.  I layered it over some digi paper from Echo Park's Holly Jolly collection.  I typed the sentiment (the fonts I used are HERE and HERE). A bit of glitter and stitching finished the card.DSC_0011_2_2
More digi cards tomorrow...

Merry and Bright

G'day. Today I'm sharing a pair of cards I made using Hero Arts new Holiday Houses digikit.
OK, so I admit I am loving making bling-y tree themed cards... I know I've made a lot, but here's just one more...
Bright Tree
This one uses a tree, sentiment and background all of which are from the Holiday Houses kit.  I then added loads of pearls and some stitching with silver thread to make it sparkly.
You know I love making rainbow themed things... and why not on a Christmas card??
On my next card, I took the lanterns from one of the houses in the kit, printed them onto white card, coloured them with bright coloured Copics and added Glossy Accents.  I then created my own string of lanterns using some Baker's Twine from The Ribbon Girl.  The sentiment and dotty background both also come in the Holiday Houses kit (it really is a FAB Christmas and Holiday kit!!)
Lovely Lanterns
I used a circle punch to nick the corners ofthe kraft card, then added some faux stitching.
More tomorrow...

Very Merry Christmas

Hi! It's Tuesday which means new digikits from Hero Arts.  They've released four today - four holiday kits - and all are FAB!  There's Christmas Critters, Holiday Houses, Snowy Night and - the one I am playing with today - Winter Forest.
I love love LOVE this reindeer, and guess what... it's one of the stamps in the Winter Forest digikit (which, by the way, is only $2!!).  I printed it onto some Elle's Studio digital patterned paper, trimmed and added a little baker's twine scarf and a red nose using a Hero Arts metal accent. I love it when a stamp that is quite small in real life can be made a huge focal point of a card when used as a digi stamp.
The background was made by altering the lovely snowflake background stamp from the new Holiday Houses digikit to pink, then printing onto Carnation Layering Paper.  Then I added a stamped sentiment from Very Merry Christmas.

I've got lots more to share with you this week using these awesome kits.  Hope to see you tomorrow.

With Love

Helloooo... it's Monday.
Hope you had a good weekend.  Mine was very peaceful.
Here's a card I made a while ago and never shared... just a mix of embossed acetate, stickers, seam binding and pretty papers...

One Stamp... two cards

I've got two cards to share today, both made using Hero Arts sweet Winking Reindeer stamp.
First, a pool and white card.  I used lovely Designer Paper from Hero Arts, a tiny greeting from the Merriest Christmas Wishes set, and added silk ribbon and lovely crown pins from The Ribbon Girl.

And for my second card, I stitched a hill and added a sentiment from the Swirl Christmas set.  Unfortunately, I can't remember where I got that polka dot paper from...

Hope you are having a good day - we've just had new carpets fitted and I am so excited as they are really squishy. :)
