Punch Art Pokemon card - Eevee

I was at a loss about what to create for my great nephew's birthday card and then remembered that he likes Pokemon.  In fact, he recently went to school dressed as a Pokeball!  I've already made a Pokemon card for him in the past so had to hunt for a different Pokemon to make!  Meet Eevee.

Eevee looks a pit non-plussed that the embossing isn't showing in the photo!

Unfortunately, the embossing on the Whisper White piece is not showing up in the photo (and I had already given away the card before I realised).  The main card is a 5.5" square in Real Red.  The little strip of DSP is from the Pop of Pink set.

There's a Real Red Enamel dot on the greeting label and you may be wondering where the black ones come from?  Having seen someone else peel the white backing from the White Perfect Accents to create clear dots, I thought "why not try to then reapply them to some black cardstock.  I must admit that I really miss the neutral colours that were available in the Candy Dots range. 

I haven't included full instructions for Eevee here only because there was some free-handing involved but feel free to contact me for more details.

Head: is the centre of one of the Swirly Scribbles thinlits.
Ears: Festive Flower Builder Punch
Hair: (on top of the head) Fox Builder Punch
Tail:  Fox Builder Punch & Paisley Framelit
Mane: Leaflets framelits
Feet: Santa's Sleigh thinlits (the stocking)
Hind leg: Santa's Sleigh thinlit & Paisley framelit with a little bit of nip & tuck!
There's also part of another Paisley framelit just showing under the mane for a suggestion of tummy or 4th leg.

I used a Chalk Marker to colour the tail and the mane and add the white dots to the eyes.
The ears and eyes are coloured with Basic Black and Chocolate Chip markers.
I used Soft Suede and Crumb Cake cardstock.

Woodland Fathers Day card

My son likes me to make a card for him to give his father for Fathers Day but I was a bit stuck for ideas so decided to CASE an idea that I've seen floating around the internet for quite some time now using the gorgeous Woodland embossing folder.

This is a card that can easily be adapted for Christmas

 
I brayered the inside of the embossing folder with Smoky Slate ink at the top and  from the bottom with Garden Green ink.  I then used Memento Black ink to stamp the image of the stag.  I carefully placed a 5.5" square of Whisper White cardstock into the embossing folder and ran it through the Big Shot.

I used an Aquapainter and some Cajun Craze ink to add some ground for the stag and used some Tip Top Taupe and Soft Suede ink with the Aquapainter on the stag.  I kept the colouring light on the stag for an almost ethereal look.  

I then worked on shadows and highlights on the stag with a Chalk Marker along with Crumb Cake and Soft Suede Stampin' Write markers.  I found I could dab the chalk in areas to highlight and then smudge it with a finger.

The banner at the top of the card is three dimensional

  
To dress the top of the card, I cut some Pear Pizzazz and Garden Green cardstock with some of the Pretty Pines Thinlits dies.  

The greeting is from the Guy Greetings stamp set and I cut it out with the 3D banner from the Cupcake Cutouts Framelits.  On a piece of Basic Gray cardstock, I drew around the outside edge of the framelit with a pencil then cut around the pencil lines to create a mat for the banner.  The extra layer of cardstock did make it more difficult to shape the banner, so I kept it simple and just placed glue dots on the ends and foam adhesive strips in the middle.

Some stamping inside the card creates a finished look

I stamped a frond of Pine from the Christmas Pines stamp set inside the card using Garden Green ink.

Bloomin' Heart Wedding Card

Mostly neutral colours makes for an elegant wedding card

I made this card for the wedding we're attending tomorrow, using several layers of the Bloomin' Love heart glued together.  

The little flowers in Whisper White and Sahara Sand were cut with the same die set and stamped with the matching Bloomin' Love stamp set.  I found the easiest way to perfectly match the stamping and die-cutting was to cut first and then stamp with the help of my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig (the opposite to what I would normally do!).  The centres are sequins from the new Fancy Frost collection in the new Holiday Catalogue with the addition of little pearls.

The side view of the card shows some of the depth

It's hard to see in the photograph but I've used three of the designs from the Fancy Frost Speciality Designer Series Paper and left them in their natural white state.

The banner was cut with the Duet Banner Punch with one Sahara Sand layer and the top layer is Pink Pirouette.  I stamped the greeting from the Seasonal Bells stamp set (in the new Holiday Catalogue) by selectively inking the part that I wanted to use with a Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker.

The inside of the card is layered and stamped

The inside of the card is layered with Sahara Sand and Whisper White cardstock and stamped in Basic Black ink using the Floral Phrases stamp set.
