If you are still working on your last minute Christmas cards, you aren't the only one! Every year I say I'm going to start them early, but I don't get them started until November.

Happy Birthday Card using Stamp Anniething's Eloise & Texture Paste

On my bucket list is to visit Japan some day. I love the Japanese culture and even though Japan is very modern today, kimonos are still worn at many weddings and formal events. How cute is Eloise from Stamp Anniething in her beautiful kimono! She is my favorite stamp from Stamp Anniething and I wanted to showcase her by putting her on a step card. 

This step card is fun to make and not hard to do. Just be careful when cutting and scoring using the template I have provided. I made the gold background using a stencil and texture paste mixed with gold glitter. The pretty patterned paper is washi paper. Give this card a try! Fun one and it did take a little time to make, but it was worth the results. 

Supplies: 

• Stamp Anniething Stamp - Eloise-Arigato
• Stamp Anniething Stencil - Diamond Ball Crosshatch
• Stamp Anniething Banner Die
• Ranger Texture Paste - Transparent Gloss
• Fine gold glitter
• Palette knife to spread texture paste
• White cardstock cut to 4-1/4"W x 11" H. This is your A2 size base card.
• White cardstock cut to 2"W x 4-1/4" H for the gold stenciled background
• White cardstock cut to 3-1/2"W x 1-1/2"H for the sentiment
• Blue cardstock cut to 2-1/8"W x 4-1/2"H for the mat behind Eloise
• Blue cardstock cut to 1"W x 4 3/8" H for the mat on the sides
• Blue cardstock cut to 4-1/8"W x 7/8"H for the mat on the bottom
• Washi paper (you can substitute with patterned paper) cut to 7/8"W x 4-1/4"H for the sides
• Washi paper cut to 3/4"W x 4"H for the bottom
• Bone folder
• Paper trimmer
• Gold flower stickers from Starform (you can substitute with stamps)
• Coloring medium of choice - I used Copic markers
• White gel pen
• Gold Stickles/glitter glue
• Your favorite adhesive (for the washi paper, use double sided tape or tape runner, not liquid glue)
• Sentiment stamp - Eloise came with the sentiment Arigato (Thank You), but I used a Happy Birthday sentiment.

Copic markers used:

• Skin: E04, E11, E21, E00, E000
• Cheeks & Tongue: R32, R30
• Hair: T7, T5, T3, T1
• Blue: B99, B97, B95, B91
• Pink: RV66, RV34, RV02, RV52

Instructions:

• Color the stamp and fussy cut. Us the white gel pen and gold Stickles to add flowers onto her kimono. 
• Create a sentiment of choice using any stamp. Cut it out using the Stamp Anniething a banner die. The set comes in many shapes. Use one you like.
• For the base card, use a paper trimmer (or craft knife) and cut slits as shown below:

• Score as shown below:

Using a bone folder, crease and fold on score lines so the card stands up as shown:

• To create the gold textured background, mix approximately 1 teaspoon of glitter into 1 tablespoon of texture paste. I work on a teflon craft sheet, but you can use wax paper or any non-porous surface for this. Place the stencil over the 2"W x 4-1/4" H white cardstock and tape it down on the work surface. Make sure the stencil doesn't move. Using a palette knife, gently apply the texture paste evenly. Carefully lift off the stencil. If there is any texture paste left over, get another piece of cardstock and stencil again and save this for a future card. Let this dry completely. I used a heat gun to speed up the process.
• Adhere all the mats and washi or patterned paper as shown below. If you are using washi paper, use double sided tape and not liquid glue. Liquid glue will make the washi paper wrinkle and buckle. 
• Add the gold flower stickers to the sentiment then adhere the sentiment to the card.

Thank you for stopping by today. This stamp is so cute, I have used it for many other cards. I hope you give this card a try! If you have any questions or comments, please leave them below.

Conie Fong Art & Design - Poinsettia Happy Holidays Mini-slimline Card

I love poinsettias, especially red ones. When I went to Kona, Hawaii, poinsettias grew on big shrubs. It was so beautiful to see. It seems like they like the warm weather in Kona. This could be why the ones I get don't survive the cold winter weather where I live. Today I am sharing a mini-slimline card made with Conie Fong's digital poinsettia stamps. I used two of the three stamp designs from the Poinsettia Accessory Bundle. This bundle includes both the jpg and png formats.

Don't forget to enter in our monthly challenges over at the Conie Fong Art & Desing Facebook Group to win some digital stamps! 

I love this new mini-slimline size. The card measures 3-1/4"W x 6"H. These cards fit into a 6-1/2" envelope that you can buy anywhere. In the picture below, I placed the mini-slimline over a regular slimline size so that you can see the size difference. 

Supplies:

• Digital stamps: Conie Fong Poinsettia Accessory Bundle
• White cardstock for base card: 6-1/2"W x 6", scored at 3-1/4", folded in half. 
• Black cardstock for mat: 3" x 5-3/4"
• White cardstock for card front: 2-7/8" x 5-5/8"
• Lattice die (digital or metal die). You can also use washi tape or black cardstock to create a lattice background.
• Happy Holidays sentiment - Create one digitally or use a stamp.
• Your favorite adhesive
• Paper trimmer
• Coloring medium of choice. I used Copic markers.
• Enamel dots or rhinestones for embellishing.

Copic markers used:

• Red: R89, R59, R46, R24
• Yellow: Y17, YR23, YR21
• Green: G28, G07, G24

Instructions:

I created this entire card front digitally using my Silhouette Studio software. After creating it in Studio, I printed it and colored the poinsettias and trimmed it to size as indicated in the supplies list. If you do not have software to create this digitally, you can still make this card by using these following instructions.

• Create the lattice background using thin black washi tape, black cardstock strips or a lattice die.
• Create the sentiment using Microsoft Word or stamp and cut it to fit the card.
• Print, color, and cut the poinsettias and adhere to the lattice. 
• Adhere mat to the base card and then adhere the card front.
• Adhere the enamel dots or rhinestones.

Blank Page Muse - Day of the Dead Sugar Skulls Candle

Dia de los Muertos, or the Day of the Dead, is a Mexican religious holiday that is celebrated November 1 and 2. Sugar skulls are decorated in bright colors and used as an offering celebrating the deceased. The sugar skulls have become popular in the art world and have become a favorite design, not just for celebrating the Day of the Dead, but also for wall art, decorative items, and even tattoos. Today, I am sharing a candle I made using several of the stamps from Blank Page Muse Art Rubber Stamps called the Day of the Dead Sugar Skulls Marigold Flowers Sacred Heart Art Rubber Stamps designed by Donna Gray.

Try making one and join us in November's Blank Page Muse monthly challenge. The theme is "Easy Holiday Play." 

These candles are easy to make and you don't need very many supplies. They don't cost much to make and they are great gifts for any occasion. Let's get started!

Supplies:

• Blank Page Muse stamps: Day of the Dead Sugar Skulls Marigold Flowers Scared Heart Art Rubber Stamps designed by Donna Gray.
• White tissue paper
• Black ink pad
• Red ink pad
• Colored markers
• Scissors
• Tape runner
• White 3" tall candles (I used the smaller sugar skull. If you use the bigger one, get a minimum 4" tall candle)
• Wax paper
• Heat gun or hair dryer
• Optional: Cello bag and ribbon

Instructions:

• Stamp the small sugar skull, sacred heart, and roses (stamp 2) with a black ink pad on tissue paper (I stamped 4 roses, but only used 2).
• Stamp the hearts (stamp 2) with a red ink pad on tissue paper.
• Color the stamps with bright colored markers. Color them any color you like.

• Cut out the stamps leaving a small border. For the heart stamp, cut off the dots (or you can leave them).

• Using a tape runner, add a dab of tape onto the back of the tissue then adhere to the candle. Work with one large stamp or 2 small stamps at a time! 
• Wrap a piece of wax paper around the candle, pulling it taut. Make sure there are no air bubbles.

• Using a heat gun or hair dryer, apply heat over the stamp. When the stamp becomes shiny, it is adhered. Do not over heat or the candle will melt.
• Unwrap the wax paper and repeat applying one or two stamps at a time using a new piece of wax paper.

• For gift giving, wrap in cellophane and tie with a ribbon.
