Spellbinders New Collection Inspiration BLOG HOP! featuring Zenspirations by Joanne Fink

Hello Everyone!

Welcome to the Spellbinder's Holiday Blog Hop!  Today we are featuring some wonderful collections being released!  My projects will feature the Zenspired Holidays Collection by Joanne Fink! I am such a doodler and I love the fact these cards look as if they were drawn by hand!
Picture
For my first card I just had to use the Dangling Ornaments along with my Distress Oxides.  I started by creating a blended background cut down to 4 1/4 in x 5 1/2 in. I sprayed the background to give it some texture for an added touch. I stamped my images in white pigment ink and then heat set with white embossing powder! I wanted to make my ornaments stand out even more, to do that I used my oxides as watercolors and painted some of the focal areas. Once everything was dry I added some NuVo Drop Embellishments for some added dimension.
Picture
My second card is featuring the Christmas Candy Canes Stamp and Die Set!  I think it is wonderful you get a die for each stamp in this set and their are two candy cane facing in opposite directions!  No Mirror Stamping Here!
Picture
I stamped my images using an alcohol marker friendly ink and colored away!  Cut my images using the coordinating dies once my coloring was finished. Adhered my candy canes using my liquid adhesive and double sided foam tape!  Finally, what card is complete without some glitter!
​

Ever have one of those "duh!" moments? I did. Now why did I never consider using white pigment ink and white embossing powder together! Of course you will get a beautiful white impression! Thank you. One more thing to try as soon as I unpack my craft room!

    Well, hello there everyone! My name is Desiree Kuemmerle and I live in Lansdale, PA with the hubs of over 20 years and our furry bot Max! I am fluent in Crafting, a Master Paper Manipulator and a violator of all that makes sense... 

    Since about the time I spoke my first word, I’ve been an avid crafter alongside my mom and sister. You name the craft and I’ve probably bought it, collected it, tried it and finally stored it. Right now, getting Inky, suffering paper cuts, cutting with metal dies and stamping everything, whether it moves or not makes me smile and I must pass that along to everyone I know and don’t know!
