21st Century Pillow Book

Hello! Last week, the White Rose Crafts team shared projects using products from Woodware. I decided to keep the party going by making this card. I used a stamp from the same Woodland Elements set that I used last week.  I started off by coloring the stamped image with Zigs....very basic coloring, to give it more of a stained glass look. I fussy cut it out and then chose the rest of my elements. I used some orchid colored paper with a small leaf stamp in the Woodland Elements set and embossed it with Ranger's Rose Gold powder. Then I inked the edges a little with Seedless Preserves Distress Oxide Ink.  I found paper with a small pattern in the Bombay Sunset 6 x 6 paper pack from Kaisercraft that was just perfect for my background. I cut it to 4" x 5 1/4" so that I had room to add more Rose Gold embossing powder directly on to my card base. I love the shine it gives off. My sentiment is also from the Bombay Sunset paper pack. The colors on this card are very ...

Hello! I've got a simple little card for you today that features a sweet stamp from Woodware. This week, the White Rose Crafts team is featuring creations using Woodware products. My card uses the Woodland Elements stamp set. I'll actually have another card featuring a different stamp from this set later in the month. I stamped the image with VersaFine Clair Ink in Nocturne, and then did some very basic coloring with my Zig Clean Color Markers. It only took a few minutes to color this image in. I fussy cut it out, then started to look through my 6" x 6" paper pads. White Rose Crafts has a ton of paper pad option, and I like the 6" x 6" pattern sizes. This paper is from the Altair Art "Ever Dream" paper collection. It's a double sided set of cardstock, so that little pink strip under the image is actually the reverse side of the blue!  Using patterned cardstock from one collection is a great way to speed up your paper crafting process. It...

Hello! Today I have a new card for this month's Dreamweaver Stencil theme, which is, "The Most Wonderful Time of Year." I'm talking about the holiday season of course! Dreamweaver has lots of fantastic stencils that are perfect for any holiday project, and just recently, more have been added to the mix! Plus, they have some special new holiday dies as well as embossing folders. I used a set of dies for today's project. I used the Nested Stockings (DG692) dies for this card. This card was made really fast. Fussy cutting can be so time consuming, but with dies like these...you can get projects made in a flash. I cut the 3 stockings out with 3 different coordinating papers, but I kept the tops the same for some continuity. I also glued the tops above the foot part, to give it the look of a ribbon. And to just make it different. My sentiment is from Woodware, and I embossed that plus the sides of the card with gold embossing powder for a bit of metallic sheen...
