Cute Critter Christmas Cards for KCS Designs by Kim

    Hello, my friends!

Today I'm back with a new project for KCS Designs by Kim!

This time I have made a set of four Christmas cards, 
using some ADORABLE critters!
I used the same process for each card, and had so much fun!

Here they are:

I began with the beautiful Christmas Gingham Journal Papers for the background.
I sized them down, and mounted them on a kraft card base.

I then printed/fussy cut several of the adorable critters from Kim's Ko-fi shop.
The Tangled Tidings Collection is available for FREE!

I added them to the card base using foam tape.
 I printed and matted a sentiment from the Christmas Word Snippets.
There are so many to choose from!

Finally, I went over the background design with my Sparkle Pen,
and added glossy accents to each of the light bulbs, and the animal eyes.
Although it doesn't show in the photos, the cards are full of gloss and glitter!

There are so many fun collections in the shop.
The creative possibilities are endless!

...they were made separate but it works, right?

These images are so much fun to play with,

Card Series Part 2 for Crafty Critta

   Hello, my friends! 

I'm back with Part 2 of my Crafty Critta card series! 

I've created two more space themed cards, using the same products that I used in Part 1.

Again, both cards were made using one piece of foil.
The first pass through my Your Best Mate Machine adheres the foil to the Art Foil Design.
The second pass adheres the relief of the foil to the Toner Sheet I use.

Here is the first card:

These new space themed products are so much fun!

The background papers are stunning double-sided galaxy images. 

I used another one of the fabulous foil art pages.
I ran in through my Your Best Mate Machine, and the foil adhered to the space design.

Here is the second card:

On this card the foiling is the opposite of the previous piece.
I used the leftover foil, and ran it through the machine on a coloured toner sheet. 
It's hard to see the design details in the photo but they're very evident in person.

I fussy cut one of the images, and adhered it in place using foam tape.
I did the same with the foiled sentiment.
Isn't that background paper gorgeous?!

I think foiling is so much fun!

The products from Crafty Critta make it super easy to make very effective cards!

Crafty Critta Products Used:

Foil Art - T0162 Space;

Foil Art - T0028 Hello Sentiment Pack 2;

Galaxy Paper Pack - PP0041;

Toner Foil - F0045 Hearts Silver;

Colour Toner Sheet - T0129 Ombre Multi Toner Sheet;

Your Best Mate Machine.

I hope you come back next week to see the next two cards!

Christmas Notecards for Lavender Blu Journals

  Hello, my friends!

I'm back with a fun new project for Lavender Blu Journals!

I have made a set of eight Christmas Notecards,
using only two listings from the shop.

I fell in love with the gorgeous Christmas Toile Digital Paper Pack.
There are 16 pages in the kit, and they're all beautiful.

All the sentiments used came from the wonderful Christmas Labels and Fussy Cuts Pack.
It's a full page of images - in seven different colour options.

Here's a closer look at the cards:

These would also make great tags or gift enclosures!
The variety of images and sentiments combine for multiple creative options!

Card Series Part 1 for Crafty Critta

  Hello, my friends! 

I'm back with a new Crafty Critta post!
I'm using some of the wonderful newer products in the shop too.

Over the next several weeks I will be sharing a number of new cards with you. 
I will be sharing them two at a time, with all the product links listed below.

If you have watched my foiling video,
then you know that I can create 2 cards with each piece of foil.
The first pass through my Your Best Mate Machine adheres the foil to the Art Foil Design.
The second pass adheres the relief of the foil to the Toner Sheet I use.
This is the process I have used to create my first two cards. 

Here is the first:

The first cards are created using some of the fabulous new space themed products.
The background papers are stunning double-sided galaxy images. 
One of the pages includes all the fun fussy cut images.

They coordinate with the wonderful space themed toner art.
For this card I used this cosmic swirl toner image.
I ran in through my Your Best Mate Machine, and the foil adhered to the swirl. 

Here is the second card:

On this card the foiling is the opposite of the previous piece.
I used the leftover foil, and ran it through the machine on a coloured toner sheet. 

I fussy cut more images, and adhered them in place using foam tape.
The sentiments for both cards were foiled using the same foil. 

I think foiling is so much fun!

The products from Crafty Critta make it super easy to make very effective cards!

Crafty Critta Products Used:

Foil Art - T0162 Space;

Foil Art - T0028 Hello Sentiment Pack 2;

Galaxy Paper Pack - PP0041;

Toner Foil - F0045 Hearts Silver;

Colour Toner Sheet - T0129 Ombre Multi Toner Sheet;

Your Best Mate Machine.
