Christmas in July Video Hop

Hello I've got one more Christmas in July card for you.   This is for another Christmas in July video hop over on YouTube.

I started off by stamping the fireplace from the Cosy Christmas stamp set from Clearly besotted.  I stamped it in memento tuxedo black ink on the card base. Then I also stamped the fireplace on some Inkadinkadoo masking paper.  I also cut a half circle out of the masking paper for the carpet in the scene.

After placing the masks down I was ready to use distress oxide inks to blend my background. I used vintage photo, broken china and cracked pistachio distress inks. I used the Dollarama makeup brush to do the blending.  Then it was time to take off the masks.

Then I colored the fireplace and added some details to the carpet with spectrum noir markers.

Next I stamped the penguins from the Lawn Fawn Here we go a waddling in memento tuxedo black ink.  I also colored  these in spectrum noir markers.   The colors I used were BG8, BG6, BG4, CR10, CR11, CT4, BT5, BT4, TN8 and OR1.

After everything was colored I adhered all the critters to the card base with the Xyron sticker maker.   Then it was time for the sentiment which came from the Lawn Fawn Here we go a waddling stamp set.   I stamped it in memento tuxedo black ink. "We wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy new year. "

To finish off the card I used morning dew nuvo drops over the fire and I used English mustard nuvo drops on the lanterns on the mantle.  I also used the sakura white jelly roll pen to add some highlights to the stamped images.





Thanks for stopping by today and Happy Christmas in July!

Get Kids Crafty May Blog Hop Gardening theme

It's that time of month again where I share a fun crafty project that I made with my kiddo Riley for Get Kids Crafty. Hello and thank you for joining us for the May Get Kids Crafty! blog hop! We are thrilled to have you! Our theme this month is gardening and our kids have created some AMAZING projects to share with you! We had a lot of fun creating our project this month. We made a bumble bee mobile.  Both my kids love the song bringing home my baby bumble bee. Especially my youngest Liam, it seems to usually calm him down when he's upset.  So we created this fun project to the theme of the song.      First we had to die cut our bees, Here is Riley playing with an already cut bee in the Big Shot machine.      Here is Riley turning the handle on the Big Shot machine to cut out all our bees. We had to do 16 in total one for the front and back as you will see in a little bit. Here is what the finished bee looks like and the die cut that we used from
