Eskimo Kisses from Heffy Doodle!
Hi friends! Happy Thursday! Thanks for stopping by today! Please join me in a VERY warm welcome to first time guest designer Lesley Oman! This very talented lady is the owner of Heffy Doodle and using the BRAND NEW Eskimo Kisses stamp and die set to inspire today! Be sure to read on and get the full details from Lesley herself and enjoy!
To make this card, I used the new Heffy Doodle Eskimo Kisses stamp set to stamp and die cut lots of the fun Eskimo images. I used my MISTI so I could stamp lots quickly at the same time, and used copic friendly ink and card so I could use my alcohol markers to colour the images. I thought it would be fun to create both a scene on the outside and on the inside, so I used some Lawn Fawn dies to help create snowy mounds and a pop up landscape for the inside of my card.
For the background, I wanted to create an Aurora Borealis effect, so I grabbed my Ranger Distress Inks, and used some bright colors first of all, then blended over the top with some chipped sapphire. I inked along the edge of a ripped piece of card to build up diagonal lines of colour on top for a more authentic look. To give my sky a lovely shimmer, I mixed a small amount of Perfect Pearls pigment powder with a little water in a spray bottle and spritzed the mixture over my inked card.
For my greeting I used one of the sentiments from the Eskimo Kisses set, but also used some of the new Heffy Doodle Jet Alphabetters to create the word HELLO. These letters are a great size for adding your own messages or names to your projects. I decided to use some silver embossing powder for my greetings to really make them pop!
For the front of my card, I stamped the fishing hole and used water ripple stamp to add lines inside, and then cut a slit using the coordinating die. This meant I could tuck a little cheeky fish inside. I gave the boy Eskimo a fishing rod, but on the inside, I created a scene using the girl Eskimo, and instead of giving her a fishing rod, I added the spearhead image to the pole to create a spear! I also added the cute baby on her back and surrounded her with lots of fish so it looks like she is having much more success than her friend!

25 Days of Christmas Tags Event with Shari Carroll
Hi everyone! Welcome to November!!!! It’s Shari here with a special tag as part of the 25 Days of Christmas Tags event on the In My Creative Opinion Blog. I was inspired by all the amazing Tim Holtz products from his Christmas 2017 collection.
I started out with Tim’s Distress tags and Christmas Stash 8×8 papers. I’ve covered the tag using some one of my favorite papers from the collection and Collage Medium.
I stenciled some the Pines onto the background with Potting Soil Archival ink, then re-stenciled with Transparent Texture Paste and gave it a dash of Rock Candy Glitter for some winter sparkle!!
These adorable Christmas Paper Dolls are the focus of this tag and I’ve put together 3 children dressed ready for the winter holiday!
I’ve filmed a video of the complete process which you can view below or on our YouTube channel HERE.

Happy Birthday to You… Brand NEW from CZ Design!
Hi friends! Happy Wednesday! Be sure to check out this super fresh inspiration from the latest CZ Design released today! This release includes the stamp set Birthday Palooza, along with a coordinating die, and an alphabet die set called All Caps. Be sure to watch the video and enjoy!
Hey everyone! Cathy Z here and I’m so happy to be sharing my newest stamp set with you today, Birthday Palooza! Since I started making cards last spring, I’ve made a ton of all occasion cards and then whenever I have a birthday coming up where I need to make a card, I realized I had virtually no birthday themes. So I decided to design one!
I love this simple set, with its overlapping letters and matching dies. I wanted to create a bright, happy birthday card, but still keep it fairly minimal. And my new favorite thing? Gray fog cardstock! I’ve been on a bit of a kick lately and it’s all about the gray fog card bases.
I’ve got a tutorial showing you how I made the card. I’m still learning on the whole Copic marker blending thing, but hey, that’s what craft time is for, am I right ladies?
