7 Kids Crafts: Anything Goes ATC Jan 2020

Hello Everyone,


Hoping all is well and that you are getting artsy and crafty. These are the Artist Trading Cards I started a while ago and just had them unfinished. I was delighted to read that 7 Kids Crafts was going to have an "Anything Goes" theme so I happily finished them up. Oh what a happy feeling to finish up old projects. The little Lavinia door stamp is called Fairy Door Large. I also use other small stamps from The Greeting Farm, C.C. Designs and from Studio Light to add to the scene or background. The little fairy inside is a vault image from Sweet November that I shrank to fit inside of the little fairy door.

Lavinia - Fairy Door Large

Lavinia - Fairy Orbs

Lavinia - Lavender

All of the little doors open and close to reveal a little Sweet November fairy. 

I am sure you can try it out with one of the tiny Lavinia stamps but I don't have any 

that are really small.

I hope you like these Artist Trading Cards.

I am so excited to see which ones I get back. :D

7 Kids Crafts: Compliments of the season

Hello Crafty Friends,

I am excited to share this card. I really enjoyed coloring this beautiful Christmas Mistletoe Fairy and wanted to create a special card with her. After racking my brain for a few days I decided I wanted to do a little mixed media. I don't do too much mixed media and it looked a little different in my mind than it came out but I actually really love results. I think it has been almost a year since I have done a little mixed media but the process is very relaxing. The process takes me longer, especially drying time but most things I complete by sections anyway so it wasn't too much of an issue. For the background I wanted a certain snowy scene from the Prima marketing paper but I also fussy cut a barn and added it to the scene, then I added falling snow with gesso.

To create this card I used: Christmas Misletoe Fairy by Sweet November Stamps, Prima Marketing paper pad called Christmas in the Country, Nuvo Crystal Drops: Metallic - Soft Mint for the mistletoe berries and Nuvo Glitter Drops: Holiday Cheer for the holly berries, Hello Bluebird: Holly and Pine Die, Elizabeth Craft Designs: Garden Notes - Heart Grapevine Wreath, C.C. Designs: Mistletoe ATS028 and a little white gesso for snow on the tips of the pine needles, pine cone, snow falling and on the wreath. Oh yea on last thing I added some Spectrum Noir: Clear Sparkle pen over the wings.

Here's a little excerpt from the Sweet November Digital Stamps team about Christmas Mistletoe Fairy : And last but not least we have Mistletoe Fairy. This sweet fairy knows that it doesn't matter how a home is decorated for the holidays because as long is it is filled with love and laughter it is the most beautiful place in the world to be no matter the time of year.

7 Kids Crafts: Know What's Better Than Christmas Cookies

Hello Everyone!

I hope you're off to a great week. Just wanted to share this card I made using Noe Bundle by Sweet November Digital Stamps. This image I started coloring for Day 24 of #TheDailyMarker30Day challenge. It's a really cute image and I used both Copic markers and Polychromos pencils to for shading. The tray of cutout cookies are actually from Mrs. Claus Bundle. For a mega pop of bright and cheery to the background, I masked the image and then used a dauber to create a texturized look with Distress Ink: Mustard Seed. See Bright and fun. I made this into a long card or what some call a slim line card but I like to think of it as a money card. Heehee

Thinking of You

Hello Crafty Friends,

I hope you are all doing well. I have a friend named BreAnn, who had a birthday in Heaven this month. When this time of the year comes around I always seem to think of her mother. I never know just what to say but this time I am sending her a card. I know that this month in particular BreAnn, her family and friends always showed awareness for Pulmonary Hypertension. The PHA or Pulmonary Hypertension Awareness ribbon is Periwinkle but for some reason I had the inspiration to color the roses red and small flowers pink. I will definitely work on cards with Periwinkle or another purpley color for PHA.


I decided to use  a digi stamp called: Ching-Chou Kuik - Love Birds and colored it up with Polychromos and a couple of Prismacolor pencils. To embellish and add dimension to the the image I used Nuvo Crystal Drops. I also used a die set from Sizzix Thinlits by Stephanie Bernard #661116 I purchased the word dies on Amazon but I'm sure you can probably find it in different craft stores. I used the words "thinking," "of," and "you." The technique I used to not have to crop off or cover my image is called Eclipse Technique and I learned that from Amy Young.

Thank you so much for visiting.
