Tim Holtz STAMPtember® 2020 Exclusive Collaboration

September 26, 2020

Hi there! Today I’m back with another fun STAMPtember® Collaboration with Tim Holtz called Snarky Christmas Cats.

Tim Holtz STAMPtember® 2020 Exclusive Collaboration

I had to do some ink blending for a Tim Holtz card so I made a few small panels using various color combinations and trimmed them down to fit onto a slimline card. If you want some spectacular ink blending color combo inspiration, look at Kristina Werners examples. They are true eye candy!

For the images, I stamped them with Memento ink and colored with Copics.

I fussy cut the images out and popped them up onto the ink blended panels and added a few clear drops for embellishment. I also embossed three sentiments from the Snarky Christmas Cats set in white onto black cardstock and die cut them using the Sentiment Label dies.

Clearly Besotted STAMPtember® 2020 Exclusive Collaboration

September 15, 2020

Hi there! I’m back with another adorable STAMPtember® collaboration with Clearly Besotted called Skating By.

Coming from a hockey family who loves to skate on the pond. I have a soft spot for this adorable set.

Clearly Besotted STAMPtember® 2020 Exclusive Collaboration

I stamped the images in Memento and colored with Copics. I die cut a circle window opening onto Apricot cardstock & created a spinner by cutting a track with my craft knife and adhering two pennies with a foam dot in-between for the spinner mechanism. It’s exactly the same as the one I did on this card.

Here’s a quick peek at how the cute little kitty spins. This is exactly what I look like when I try to skate:) Meanwhile the rest of my family skates like they’re going to the olympics.

Avery Elle STAMPtember® 2020 Exclusive Collaboration

September 13, 2020

Hi there! I’m back with the newest STAMPtember® Collaboration with Avery Elle called Holiday Bells.

Avery Elle STAMPtember® 2020 Exclusive Collaboration

I stamped the outline of each bell with black ink and then stamped the solid bells with Pinkfresh Studio inks. I embossed the sentiment in white on black and added some enamel dots that I bought at my local dollar store.

Avery Elle STAMPtember® 2020 Exclusive Collaboration

Now that I look at this card I’m thinking the bells look like they are just floating in mid air. I’m not sure what I was thinking. I was probably thinking how can I cram as much rainbow into these bells as humanly possible. That’s usually my default process.
