Stampin with Liz Design: Create a Smile Challenges!

Hi everyone, welcome to a new moodboard challenge over at Create a Smile Challenges! I''m so excited today, cause this moodboard is just amazing, but I'm also a bit sad as this will my last challenge at Create a Smile Challenges as a design team member. I had a blast this last year and had the luck to even enjoy two terms, but all good things come to an end and a new team will have the chance to get a go! I will be playing along for sure in the future! For this last challenge I created a fun Christmas card with the A Friendly Turn stamp set!

You can enter this challenge world wide and have a chance at winning a € 25 gift certificate to spend at Create a Smile stamps! For those of you who don't own a Create a Smile stamp set yet, you can use one of the freebies that are up on their site!

I just love this moodboard, Christmas is almost here and this board so gets me in the mood! Hope everyone will enjoy a great Christmas together! I started my card with a white card base on which I added a piece of red patterned paper. I then started working on a front panel, for which I diecutted another piece of patterned paper with a Stitched Rectangle Die. I stamped the text 'Merry Go-Round Christmas' from the A Friendly Turn stamp set at the right corner of my panel. 

I them stamped a fun snow background with trees from another set and diecutted this piece with the stitched rectangle die I used before, to make it a perfect match with the sky. I then stamped the gorgeous turning wheel image from the set and completely fussy cutted the image. A bit of work, but totally worth it! I coloured all the images with Copic Markers and added the wheel with dimensionals on to my card!

Thank you so much for watching today, hope to see you next time! Wishing everyone great holidays!

Stampin with Liz Design: Create a Smile A Friendly Turn Card!

Hi everyone! Welcome to my first Christmas card of the year post! I love creating Christmas cards, as soon as the first Christmas stamps hit the stores, you? I choose a slimline card for today and the stamp sets A Friendly Turn and Easy Breezy from Create a Smile Stamps!

As I said before, I just love slimline cards! You get such a fun layout on them! I started this slimline card with a white card base and added a front panel on which I created a fun scene! I started with stamping the gorgeous wheel from the A Friendly Turn set and masked this to be able to blend a background around it. I used the colours Black Soot, Chipped Sapphire, Faded Jeans, Stormy Sky and Peacock Feathers, all Distress Oxide inks from Ranger. 

I then coloured the stamped wheel image and gave the inside blue colours, inspired by the gorgeous card Kaja Vezensek posted a while ago. I then added a snow underground, which I diecutted with the Mama Elephant Slim Card Basics dies. I stamped the text from the A Friendly Turn in the middle and add the three cute snowmen from the Easy Breazy stamp set. I added some stars and snow to my background to finish this card with! 

Thank you so much for watching today, hope to see you next time!

Hi everyone! Welcome to a new Create a Smile Challenge today! We have an amazing moodboard this challenge, so hope to see a lot of you there! I created this card with the A Friendly Turn stamp set to inspire you with!

I love the moodboard for this challenge! Christine always knows how to get them look amazing! I used the blue and yellow/orange colours!

I started this card with a white card base in A2 size (which is approximately 4 1/4 x 5 1/2") and then diecutted a front panel on which I created a fun scene. I blended the background with Mermaid Lagoon and Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide ink for the sky, Evergreen Bough and Mowed Lawn for the bushes.

I diecutted the bushes with a stitched cloud die and added a bottom from a piece of patterned paper in a white wood look. I then stamped, fussy cutted and coloured the fun images from the A Friendly Turn stamp set. Don't you just like these cute snowmen having fun?! I added the wheel and the text from the set on to my card using dimensionals.

Thank you so much for watching today, hope to see you next time!
