Candlelight Christmas

Hey friends!  I recently got my hands on some of the new products from Scrappy Tails Crafts Candlelight Christmas release.  There is SO much goodness packed in this release!  

I had intended to make one card for the Instagram hop but I ended up with three!

This was the card I had in my mind when I sat down to create.  It features the Slimline Poinsettia Stencil along with Hot Foil Bold Christmas Sentiments.

This one is 5" x 5".


When I originally sprayed the Distress Mica Stain sprays through the Slimline Poinsettia stencil,  I had lots of ink left on the stencil.  No one wants to waste that inky goodness so I grabbed two more pieces of watercolor paper.


And look at that mica shimmer!


After the first card was finished I just kept looking at my leftover panels.  And I ended up with these!

This one is 5" x 7".  It features the Slimline Poinsettia stencil and Hot foil Bold Christmas Sentiments again along with the Assorted Christmas Leaves Dies.

This one is a standard A2 size.  Slimline Poinsettia and Assorted Christmas Leaves dies.  This time I also added a sentiment from the Cardinal Blessings stamp set.


Aren't they all so very cool?  I love the three different sizes and looks.  I really can't pick a favorite!


What's also great is that I mixed new and old Scrappy Tails Crafts goodies!  Oh, did you see those gorgeous gems?  They launched a whole line of embellishments with this release!  

I also wanted to mention these cards are part of an Instagram hop celebrating the Candlelight Christmas release.  Come on over to my Instagram HERE to hop along and get all the details on how to win! 

Have a fabulous day!

Fabulous Fall

Greetings fellow crafters!  Fall has finally arrived in my area and that makes me a happy camper!  I'm lucky to live where the trees turn ALL the different colors.  Since it feels like fall, I felt a fall themed card was definitely called for.  I dug into my stash of old and new products from Scrappy Tails Crafts to create this mini slimline card.

This card actually got its start many weeks ago when I was playing with my newest Distress Mica Spray stains.  I created a couple of gorgeous panels out of watercolor cardstock.

Then I took out the Fall Assorted Leaves dies and cut as many leaves and bits that I could get out of one of the panels.

Let's talk details.  I cut the large leaf vein out of copper cardstock and glued it to the leaf.  I used the long, skinny lattice like die from the A7 Book Add-on & Fancy Oval set to cut three different colors of cardstock.  Next I used the smallest layering panel from the Slimline Shadow Box dies to cut a piece of light tan cardstock.  Then I ran the panel through my die cut machine with the Slimline Tiki Pattern die.  I splattered the panel with Walnut Stain distress ink spray and gold acrylic paint.  Once it was dry I used the Walnut Stain distress ink and a blending brush around the edges of the panel.

The next step was to use the next largest die from the Slimline Shadow Box die set to cut a panel out of a dark tan cardstock.  I also used the Hello die from the same set.  I cut it out of the copper cardstock and the shadow layer out of the same light cardstock.  Now I have a bunch of parts and pieces ready to go.


This is the easy part.  I glued the three colored strips to the left side of the light panel and cut off the extra.  Next came the large leaf.  I used liquid adhesive to add it to the panel.  I glued the "hello" to the shadow layer and added foam tape to the back before adding it to the panel.  I also took the little ball-like flowers and leaves and glued it tucked under the sentiment.

I glued the light panel to the darker tan panel and then onto a mini slimline card base that measures 3 1/2" x 6 1/2".  For the final touch I added Copper Penny Nuvo drops.  Fini!



Thanks so much for visiting today.  May your day be excellent!
