Tuesday with Wendy, Nov 20th

This week for Tuesday with Wendy card making class, Wendy was inspired by the winter and holiday images!!! 

Check out the 3 cards and FALL IN LOVE because they are just fantastic!! 

The first card that Wendy designed was inspired from this Stampscapes image, Pines and Rocks as well as this die-cut from Poppy, Magnificent Moose 

To make the card: 

• Start out by selecting a metallic paper to cut out your Moose die-cut and frame from. Wendy chose this marbled card stock that has a gold/champagne color to it.
• Use the Hero Arts Rounded Rectangle die-cut set to cut out a rounded rectangle out of the marbled card stock paper. Use the inside piece of the cut-out to then cut out your Moose 
• Use The Ultimate Glue to adhere a piece of Acetate to the back side of the rounded rectangle cut-out 
• Stamp the Pines and Rocks image using the Versafine Clair ink, Rain Forest 
• Use Mounting Tape to adhere the Rounded Rectangle to the paper that has the Pines and Rocks image stamped on it.... This will create dimension for a shaker card *PLACE SEQUINS INSIDE THE SHAKER CARD*  before you adhere it completely!!! 
• Layer the card with solid green card stock and paper with pinecones on it for the patterned paper. 
• Mount the design onto the front of your card base, which is white card stock 

**Look below, to see how one of the gals cut out a second moose to make it even MORE FUN!**

Just look how fun this card is!! 

And the best part is... it's a SHAKER CARD!!! (Which is just so fun... whether you are making a card for kids or adults) 

This design is great for cards for men or a card for the Hunter in your life... and the patterned paper is PERFECT for the Pacific Northwest 

The next card that Wendy designed was inspired from this Stampendous image, Snow Bird 

To make the card:

• Stamp and heat emboss the Snow Bird image with Versamark ink and Moonstone Embossing Powder 
• Color the image using Prismacolor colored pencils... Wendy chose 3 tones of light brown to add some tone-on-tone color to the Snow Bird 
• Layer the image with the light brown marbled paper and mount the image onto the embossed handmade paper and adhere it using The Ultimate Glue 
• Adhere the design onto the front of your card base. Wendy chose an ivory colored card stock as the card base
• As a final touch, use Nuvo Crystal Drops, Ivory Seashell, to add some berries onto the Snow Bird branch.. the color and texture mimics the embossed handmade paper perfectly!!! 

What a stunning card!!! Such a perfect image for the winter season.. 

The last Card that Wendy designed was inspired from this stamp and die set from Spellbinders, Christmas Joy  and this die-cut from Poppy, Whittle Moose 

To make the card:

• Use the Hero Arts Infinity Circles die-cut set to cut out 2 sizes of circles. Use a dark brown card stock for the larger circle and a decorative paper  for the smaller circle (for this card, Wendy chose this whimsical tree paper from Photoplay and it is SO CUTE) 
• Stamp your Christmas Tree with Versafine Clair ink, Rain Forest 
• Color your Christmas Tree with light green and yellow Tombow Markers. Then use the Christmas Tree die-cut to cut out your tree 
• On your green card stock base, adhere a small strip of dark green card stock in the middle to add color contrast 
• Use double sided tape to adhere the layered circles on the right side of your card
• Die-cut the Whittle Moose out of brown suede paper and use Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive to adhere the Moose to the middle of the layered circles
• On the left side of the card, use pop-dots to adhere the stamped Christmas Tree image. 
• At the top of the card, stamp the Christmas sentiment in Versafine Clair ink, Rain Forest 
• Finish off the card by tying a bit of red polka-dot ribbon along the left side of the card and tie a little knot to hold it in place 

This Christmas card is JUST ADORABLE!!!! 

I love the colors, the movement, and how the tree paper matches the tree stamp perfectly!!

Fantastic cards this week!!!
