Three Dancing Witches!

October 14, 2022October 14, 2022 | erinbh

Who doesn’t love dancing witches?

If you saw my dancing gnomes cards, the witches are made to dance the same way- with the Candy Cane die. Since their legs have a space between them, you have to cut the die cut a little more than you do with the gnomes. Here’s some pictures to show you:

Here’s the video of making the gnomes dance, remember to make the witch dance, just cut a few more pieces off.

I stamped the hats and punched them with the matching punch from the Bewitching bundle.

For the tree limbs on the upper corners, those are dies from the Scary Silhouettes dies.

For the sentiment, I used Best Witches and I colored it with Write Markers: Pumpkin Pie, Fresh Freesia, Granny Apple Green and Basic Black. I die cut it with a die from Scary Silhouettes.

These dancing cards are so fun!

Gnomes Dancing for a Birthday!

October 7, 2022October 7, 2022 | erinbh

Gnomes don’t have to be used for just the holidays. This card I made during my video of how to make the gnomes dance:

Another easy card! I wanted to add something in the background like I did with the snowflakes on the original card. I decided to die cut a few small butterflies (from the Butterfly Wings dies.) I used the Daydream DSP (that you can only get with host rewards).

For the sentiment, I used the Art Gallery stamp set. I love the font of those sayings.

Glimmer Ornaments! LOTS of Glimmer!

September 22, 2022 | erinbh

OK, taking pictures of sparkly cards is hard. I think I’ve taken about 25 of them, so this was the best one. But it still doesn’t show how glittery it is. ugh.

If you saw my Yeti card using the Picture This dies, I wanted to use the part I didn’t use for that card. Lots of glimmer! Here’s the Yeti card:

Is It Christmas, Yeti?

I put the negative piece, from the Yeti card, on Basic White. I then die cut two of the Stitched Rectangles dies to make a frame using Tahitian Tide paper. I then used the Picture This die on scrap glimmer paper- just putting enough paper under the different circles. I used the Spruced Up Outlines dies with the White glimmer (from the mini) for the tops of the ornaments.

I added a few more ornaments on the card- ones that didn’t fit inside one of the empty circles.

I stamped the sentiment from Christmas Scottie on white with Tahitian Tide ink. I die cut it with the Stylish Shapes dies.

The ribbon on the side is the really pretty Metallic Woven Ribbon in the main catalog.

How to Make Those Gnomes DANCE! Video!

September 21, 2022September 21, 2022 | erinbh

Who doesn’t love to see gnomes dancing??

I saw that SU had shared this technique at a recent event. What a great idea! I’ve used it on two different cards, this one and a witch one that I’ll share in a few days. It is really so easy and fun!

Here’s my video of making this card:

Perfect Partners: Pig on a Hill in a Bike!

September 20, 2022September 20, 2022 | erinbh

I wanted to make my pig ride by on hill with water nearby. So, here’s what I came up with! 😂

I used lots of dies on this card. Obviously the Birthday Piggy dies (only 10 days left to get it!). I also used the Waterfall Canyon dies (again, only 10 more days) for the grass, the Basic Borders for the water, and the Gingerbread House for the hills.

I first used my Blending Brushes with Balmy Blue for the sky and Bermuda Bay for the water.

I added the Embossing paste on the water like I’ve done in many cards, but I also used the Paste for clouds. What I did was die cut two clouds from the Waves Dies, then used that a stencil with the Paste. ⬇️

These pigs are so dang cute! Here’s the video on how I make the ocean:

Perfect Partners: Apples for a Friend

September 19, 2022September 19, 2022 | erinbh

I wanted to make a fancy card with the apples. I colored them with Daffodil, trying to make them look like yellow apples, but they kinda look like lemons! Either way works for a friend card.

The Fabulous Frames dies are one of my favorites. I’ve used it on many cards. For this one, I used it with the Glimmer paper that’s in the mini catalog. The paper is so pretty- three colors: Vanilla, Evening Evergreen and Gold. You could make some really fancy cards with this!

After I colored the apples and leaves, I put Wink of Stella on all them. A very sparkly card!

Snowy Scene thru a Window

September 18, 2022September 18, 2022 | erinbh

We made this card at one of my classes. It’s so pretty and doesn’t take long!

When you die cut the window from window wishes, the inside piece comes out and you can use that for the window, or for something else. I first did a light Balmy Blue background, then stamped the trees (also from Window Wishes) with Early Espresso and Garden Green. I then added some snow with the puff paint.

I wanted to make the window look like it was inside a house looking out. The pretty Petal Pink DSP is from the host DSP Design a Daydream. If you place an order over $150, I suggest getting that paper. You can use it for lots of cards!

On the bottom, I had a piece of Basic White that was 4 x 1.5. I scored every 1/4″ using the Simply Scored. It makes it look like beadboard! I then placed a very small piece (4 x 1/4) of white on top.

For the sentiment, I used the Christmas Banners. You can stamp the sentiment and the banner before die cutting, but Ii did it different. First, I stamped the sentiment with Versamark and embossed with white powder. I then die cut it. Then, using Petal Pink ink, I stamped the banner. It’s hard to get it on there perfectly, but I liked the way it looked.

Perfect Partners: Waterfall with Mountains!

September 17, 2022September 16, 2022 | erinbh

I showed this card in my video about the Perfect Partners. Don’t forget my really good deal!

This card was fun to make, but it took a little bit of time.

The Waterfall dies are awesome- there is a ton! I die cut everything on this card.

I wanted to make mountains behind the waterfall and the Mountain Air is perfect for that!

Palm Trees for Christmas!

September 16, 2022September 15, 2022 | erinbh

You may have seen the video of me making a background that was a sunset and an ocean. I showed this card in that video. I have made other cards that have palm trees with “lights” on them. Reminds me of one of my favorite commercials- The Corona beer one around Christmas time.

Here’s the video of me making the background (there’s two- one very quick and one longer):

This card just used one kind of paper- Basic White! I don’t think I’ve ever done that before!

The palms from the Palms Dies were die cut and one flipped over- so they would lean towards each other. I colored them with Soft Suede and Granny Apple Green.

For the rhinestones, I used the red ones and the basic ones. For the basic ones, I colored them with the Shaded Spruce Dark Blend.

The sentiment is from Sunkissed and die cut with the Stylish Shapes dies.

The birds are from the Waves dies.

Love these types of cards! (as you can probably tell since I’ve made so many!)
