Stampin with Liz Design: Saddle Up & Celebrate!

Hi, welcome to a new blog post! Almost Christmas, I have all my Christmas grosseries in, so had some time to create this morning. I created this fun birthday card with the Saddle Up & Celebrate stamp set from MFT!

A little cowgirl, I just love this image! I own a Paint Horse in The Netherlands and ride Western Pleausure, Horsemanship etc with her. I don't compete anymore, but I looked like this a few times when I still competed a few years back, lol. Just with pense and a horse, haha. I stamped these fun images with Black Tuxedo Memento ink and diecutted them with the coordinating dies.

I created a background by blending the background. I used masks, I created one for the bottom with the Grassy Edges Dies and used the Mini Cloud Edges Stencil for the sky. You can't see the sky part on the photo very well, but there are some clouds there! I coloured my images with Copic Markers.

I diecutted my backgroud with a Wonky Stitched Rectangle die and placed it on a  Sahara Sand card base from Stampin' Up. I placed the cute images with dimensionals on to my card. Check the photo below to see which Copic colours I used. I'd like to send my card in to the challenge that runs at MFT Card Challenges, the Birthday Project.

Thank you so much for watching today, hope to see you next time! Wishing everyone a Happy Christmas, hope you'll enjoy the Holidays!

Stampin with Liz Design: Polar Pals Card!

Hi everyone, welcome to a new blog post! Hope you are all doing ok! We had a bit of the first snow last week for this winter, so I thought I create a fun winter card today! I created this cutie with the Polar Pals stamp set from MFT. Make sure to scroll to the end of this post to see a Video Tutorial for this card!

I picked the cute seal from the set to be the vocal point for this card. He even has a little sweater and hat on, just the sweetest! I coloured this fun guy with Copic Markers. Check the photo below to see which colours I used.

I started colouring with my darkest marker in the same color scheme on the places where I'd like the most shade to be and then start colouring my way up to the lightest colour. After finishing my colouring with the Copic Markers, I added some dots with a white gel marker. I placed my image with dimensionals on to my finished card at the end to make it stand out a bit more.

I used a base from white cardstock for my card and started building the scenery up. I used a Stitched Rectangle Die from MFT for the background and started blending this piece of cardstock with a blending tool and Squeezed Lemonade and Cracked Pistachio Distress ink from Ranger. I diecutted a piece of cardstock with the Snowfall Vertical Die from MFT to use as a stencil to add the snowflakes with white embossing paste.

I then added the mountains, diecutted with the Snow-capped Mountains Dies and coloured with Copics. I placed them behind the snow front that I diecutted with the Stitched Snoe Drifts Dies from MFT as well. I added white embossed tekst on a piece of white cardstock that I coloured with a red Copic marker. Check the Video Tutorial to see how this all came about below, or watch in HD on YouTube here!

I would love to enter this card at the new sketch challenge over at the MFT Challenge. Thank you so much for watching today, hope to see you next time!

Stampin with Liz Design: Deck the Howls Card!

Welkom bij weer een nieuwe blog post vandaag! Nog een kerstkaartje dacht ik dan maar! De eerste kerstkaarten vallen hier al in de bus, dus kan nog zeker wel toch? Ik heb deze leuke kaart gemaakt met de schattige hondjes uit de Deck the Howls stempelset van MFT.

Welcome to a new blog post today! I thought I would do just another Christmas card today! I'm receiving my first Christmas cards this week, but one more is still oke right? I created this fun card with the cute puppies from the MFT stamp set Deck the Howls.

Voor deze kaart heb ik een gave sketch als uitgangspunt genomen die je deze week vind bij MFT Card Challenges. Altijd leuk om mee te doen daar met een challenge! Ik heb een basis van wit cardstock genomen en de voorgrond gestanst met een Wonky Stitched Rectangle die van MFT. Ik heb hier een vlak afgeplakt met masking tape en daarbinnen met een blending tool en Mermaid Lagoon en Faded Jeans distress inkt een achtergrond gecreëerd.

I used a cool sketch as a starting point for my card that you can find over at MFT Card Challenges this week. Always nice to enter one of their callenges! I used a base from white cardstock and diecutted some more white cardstock for my front with a Wonky Stitched rectangle die from MFT. I taped a rectangle area with masking tape and started to blend a background between these lines with Mermaid Lagoon and Faded Jeans Distress ink. 

Ik heb wat wit geëmbosste sterren op aangebracht die gestempeld zijn met een stempeltje uit de Polar Pals stempelset, eveneens van MFT. Ik heb een door kijkje gecreëerd door een circle uit mijn gecreëerde achtergrond te stansen en window sheet met sneeuw hierachter te plaatsen. Ik heb mijn voorgrond vervolgens met dimensionals op de basis kaart vast geplakt.

I added some white embossed stars with a stamp from the Polar Pals stamp set, from MFT as well. I created a peek a boo window by diecutting a circle out of my created square and placing snow behind a window sheet. I then placed my front with dimensionals on to my base. 

De schattige hondjes zijn met Black Tuxedo Memento ink gestempeld op Solar White Neenah Cardstock, gestanst met de bijpassende dies en ingekleurd met onderstaande Copic Markers. Ze zijn met dimensionals op de kaart aangebracht. Voor de tekst heb ik ook wit embossingpoeder en Versamarkt inkt gebruikt op een strook wit cardstock die ik gekleurd het met een rode Copic Marker.

The cute puppies are stamped with Black Tuxedo Memento ink on to Solar White Neenah Cardstock, diecutted with the coordinating dies and then coloured with the Copic Marker colours as you can see below. I used white embossing powder and Versamark ink for my tekst on a piece of white Cardstock that I coloured first with a red Copic Marker. 

Bedankt voor het kijken, tot de volgende keer!
Thanks for watching, hope to see you next time!
