Naughty or Nice!!??

HELLO CRAFTY FRIENDS!! 
Larissa here today with a FESTIVE CAS Card using the Naughty'isms Naughty'isms Stamp Set & coordinating Naughty Fri-Dies!! 

SQUEAL!! This card makes me HAPPY!! I'm not the BEST when it comes to one Layer Cards!! In fact, I hardly ever make them but lately I've been ENJOYING the Process and can't wait to share how I created this card!! 

I wanted to create a "Wreath" Design with the Images and add the Layered 3D Sentiment in the middle!! I used the Gina K Designs Wreath Building Template Stencil to create my Stamped Images "Wreath" using my MISTI Stamping Tool!! I Stamped the Images with Versa Fine Black Onyx Ink and Embossed with WoW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder!! The Snowflake image is from the Merry Stamp Set!! 

After Stamping and Embossing all of the images, I used Copic Markers to Color them!! Red: R14, R32 & R39   Green: G03, G11 & G18    Turquoise: BG00, BG10 & BG45

Then I added some Blizzard Tonic Studios Glitter Nuvo Drops to add some Sparkle and Dimension!! For the Sentiment I Die Cut the Naughty Fri-Dies, layering 4 together to create a 3-D Sentiment and used Copic Markers to Color them with an Ombre` look!! Red: R14, R32 & R39

I adhered them to the center of the Wreath after I added some Tumbled Glass Distress Ink to the Center of the Wreath to help make the Sentiment POP a little more off the Card Front!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the way it turned out and hope you do too!!?? 

THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by today and I hope you'll give this FUN Wreath Design a try with your Smaller Images!! I ASSURE you, you'll LOVE it too!! 

Have a FABULOUS WEEKEND!!

Bunny: N0, N3 & N5    Moon: Y11, Y15 & YR23  

Then I used the coordinating CAS-ual Fridays Bunny Fri-Dies!! Then I added some Tonic Studios Aqua Shimmer Pen and Morning Dew Nuvo Drops finishes off the Moon and Stars for Shimmer and Dimension!! 

 I Die Cut the Lawn Fawn Outside In Stitched Star Stackables Die Set to create the Window for the Shaker into my Card Base!! I added some Black Soot Distress Paint Splatters, and some Tonic Studios Aqua Shimmer Pen Splatters!! In person its so BEAUTIFUL!!

Courage Now, Tomorrow and Always for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month!!

Hello Crafty Friends!! 

Larissa here today and I can hardly believe that September is half over!! 

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month to bring awareness to childhood cancer, which remains the leading cause of death by disease for children under the age of 14!! So today my Card was made to HONOR ALL of those Kids battling Cancer or those who are in remission!! You're ALL AMAZING and your Courage and Strength is VERY INSPIRING!! 

I Started by creating my Background Panel!! I inked with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink and added some Water Splatters and Black Soot Distress Paint Splatters along with some Nuvo Midas Touch Shimmer Pen Splatters!! I LOVE the addition of even more Sparkle in the background!! Then I Stamped and Embossed the Sentiments!! The Courage Word is from a Discontinued (Powerful Words) CAS-ual Fridays Stamp Set, but I figured several of you probably have it and LOVE it as much as I do so I'm using it anyway to hopefully INSPIRE you to give some of your older sets some much need use too!! 

You can use ANY Sentiment here and there are SEVERAL Word Dies that would be PERFECT as well!! Like the Hope Fri-Die or even the Just Breath Fri-Die!! I Stamped with Vera Fine Black Onyx Ink and Embossed with WoW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder!! Then I Stamped and Embossed again with WoW Embossing Ink and this time I Embossed with WoW Bright White Embossing Powder!! 

I Stamped the Ballerina Image from the Tutu Stamp Set with WoW Embossing Ink and then applied the NEW WoW Picnic Basket Embossing Glitter!! Yellow is the Color associated with Childhood Cancer so that's why I've chosen to use the Yellow Color!! Then I used the coordinating Ballerina Fri-Dies to Die Cut the Image out!! Then I adhered it to the top of the Courage Sentiment using some Foam Tape!! 

I added some Jewels for even more Sparkle and then adhered the Card Panel to a NND Scalloped Rectangle Die Cut from some TE Oreo Cardstock!! I adhered it to a Crate Paper Patterned Paper Cardbase using Foam Tape for some dimension and mt Card was done!! I LOVE the way it turned out and I just KNOW it'll make the recipient Abby's Day as she's CELEBRATING 5 Years of Remission after enduring 2 1/2 years of treatments for High Risk A.L.L. Pre B Cell Leukimia!! She's a ROCK STAR and I hope she knows how AMAZING she is Now, Tomorrow and Always!! 💛

Please help spread ENCOURAGEMENT to any Child or Family that you know going through this difficult process and KNOW that these small acts of kindness REALLY do help to BRIGHTEN their Day!! 
Help Spread AWARENESS for Childhood Cancer!!

Merry Kiss-mas!!

Hello Crafty Friends!! 

Larissa here today to share a FUN Holiday Card!! I've always LOVED the look of White Die Cut Word backgrounds!! Then a focal Image in the center!! Here's what I've created!! 

This is such a BEAUTIFUL Set!! There are SO MANY options too!! 

 I KNOW if you're like me Holiday Gifts and Cards are on your mind and I LOVE to give Gift Cards for the Holidays to Special People in our lives!! I think its FUN to include them inside Special Cards!! I Started by Die Cutting the Tag from the Tag Buddies Fri-Dies Set!! I Die Cut the largest one from some Lawn Fawn Patterned Paper and then Die Cut the Smaller one from some White Cardstock!! I inked the background of the White Cardstock with some Tumbled Glass and Lucky Clover Distress Ink to match the same hue as the Patterned Paper!! I wanted it to be lighter though!! Added some Water Droplets for some texture and then added the Mistletoe Image I that I Stamped, Embossed and Die Cut out!! I color it with Copic Markers and added some Silver Glitter Gel Pen to the berries for a shadow!! I used Tonic Studios in Morning Dew to add dimension and Shine to the Berries and the Red Bow!! I Red Seam Binding Bow adds the PERFECT finishing touch!! 

For the Cardbase I Die Cut the Kiss-Mas Words from white cardstock and covered the Cardbase with the Die Cuts!! I Layered the Tag Focal Point and my Card was done!!

Merry Christmas Hanging Stockings!!

Hello Crafty Friends!! 

Larissa here today to share a Simple and Elegant Christmas Card, that would be PERFECT for mass producing!! 

 I started with some Patterned Paper from Carta Bella Christmas 6x6 Paper Pad!! I added some Picket Fence Distress Paint Splatters to resemble Snowflakes Falling!! Then I Die Cut the Merry Christmas Sentiment using the NEW Merry Christmas Fri-Dies!! I Cut 3 Die Cuts from White Cardstock and then Die Cut the Top Layer from some Therm O Web Deco Foil Toned Sheets that I had Foiled using some Gold Ore Deco Foil!! I LOVE the look of Foiled Sentiments especially during the Holidays and its SO EASY to do with the Toner Sheets!! I used one of the Negative Pieces as my template to glue all of the layers together!! Then adhered the Words onto my Card Front using the Negative as my guide to get exact placement!!

I wanted to Hang some Stockings from the Christmas Word so I Stamped and Embossed the Stocking Images from NEW Naught'isms Stamp Set 3 times!! Then I used Copic Markers to Color them in!! (N2 for the White areas, R43, R46 & R89 for the Red area and YG97 and YG99 for the Green area) I Die Cut them out using the coordinating Naughty Fri-Dies!! I added some Tonic Studios Blizzard Glitter Nuvo Drops to the White Areas and let it Dry over night!! Then I added some Gold Thread to the Stockings using a Needle to poke through the Patterned Paper and making them appear to be Hanging from the Christmas Word by the Gold Thread!! I added some 3D Foam Square to the back of the Stockings to make them POP up off the Card Front!! 

THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by and I hope you have a FABULOUS WEEKEND!!
