Night Before Christmas Santa Sleigh Card

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share a card with you that features the products in the Night Before Christmas Suite.   This is a super fun suite and just screams Christmas.  My design is based on this weeks Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge this week.  The Sketch challenge this week is a two weeks challenge.  Here's a look at my card.  

Here's a look at the sketch that inspired my card for today.

Tips & Tricks: 

For the main focal image on the card I used a piece of Pretty Peacock cardstock that I did a little ink blending at the top in matching ink.  I did this to enhance the top portion of the cardstock to make it appear more of an ombre' look.  Once I had the ink blending dried I flicked on some Frost White Shimmer Paint.  After the Shimmer Paint dried I added a few white dots with a white gel pen, this added a little more to the background of the card that can give the look of snow or stars.  I added that to a piece of the Night Before Christmas Designer Series Paper.  I also added two strips going up the side in different widths.  
Once I had the background done, I added a moon and a few stars punched out of Sparkle Glimmer Paper using the Twinkle Builder Punch.  I attached the moon with mini dimensionals and the stars where attached with a little liquid glue.  
After getting the moon and stars attached to the card I then die cut Santa and the Sleigh four different times.  Once out of Basic Black cardstock and three other times out of scraps.  I then layered the scrap pieces together and then layered the basic black one on top.  I then added Wink a Stella on top of the entire piece to add a little shimmer.  I then popped it up with dimensionals.  On the last reindeer I added a red rhinestone to make him Rudolph.  
  I finished my card by adding the sentiment to the bottom of the card in Tuxedo Black ink.  This way I tied in the basic black to the card.  I hope that you have enjoyed my little card today as much as I had fun creating it.

Wonderfully Wicked Night Sky Silhouette

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share a super cute evening silhouette card with you!  This little cutie is perfect for Halloween or any other time of the year.  For my card today, I used the Wonderfully Wicked stamp set on page 55 of the 2019 Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog.  In the video tutorial I show you how to create the ink blended background complete with my tips on creating the perfect moon.  Here's a look at my card.

The Wonderfully Wicked Stamp Set was the perfect choice for today's card because of the perfect sentiments, and the fun little silhouette images.  You'll have a wicked good time using the Wonderfully Wicked Stamp Set.  The silhouette images look great stamped solid in any color as I did on today's card.  With the sentiments in this stamp set you can combine individual greetings to create a custom sentiment.
To create the moon I used one of my Layering Circle dies and cut out a piece of Masking Paper.  For masking paper I use Avery Reuseable Labels, which can be picked up online or in some office supplies stores.  I ordered mine from Amazon.  The pack is huge so it will last forever.  I've had it since last year.  Once I had my mask in place I did my ink blending.  I use Makeup brushes for this because they don't hurt my hands.  I started out with Crushed Curry and then faded that into Pumpkin Pie.  Next I used Rich Razzleberry and Blackberry Bliss inks to finish everything off.
I used a t-square ruler to draw my horizon line and then stamped my images in tuxedo black ink.  For the cat I used my Stamparatus to be able to stamp it a couple times to get him black enough.  I then filled in the ground with multiply layers of  the Dark Soft Suede and both Dark and Light Basic Black Stampin' Blend Markers.  I flicked up some grasses using the Dark Basic Black Stampin' Blend.  To finish off my card I used Versamark ink to stamp my sentiment and White Stampin' Emboss Powder and heat set it.  I stamped some more bats on my inside piece and then layered everything together.
