Santa Flutter Interactive Card!

 Greetings!

It's not even Halloween yet, but Christmas is starting now (along with cold, early darkness, gray days... but I digress.  Here is a fun Santa Flutter set that would also work for ornaments or little toys if you shore them up a bit with thick or layered paper.


Shout out to VianneyCreates for inspiring me to get this set off the to-do pile!  The supplies I used are linked below (afil-Thank you!)

Here is the complete tutorial:


Here are the supplies:

***Update--Ellen Hutson doesn't carry flutter set anymore.  You can get it only at artimpressions.com or ebay.  I apologize for the confusion!***

I hope you will give this a try!  I'll be back soon!
Take care,

See Through Element-- Inspiration For The Current "A Blog Named Hero" Challenge

Hello!  

My computer is temporarily working, so I wanted to quickly get this posted, though the card was posted a few days ago on Facebook.  Technology is great when it works.


Here is a card featuring the Hero Arts greenery wreath.  It is pretty simple, yet festive.  The camera didn't capture the red rhinestones.  The wreath die comes with both the inner and outer edges, to use separately or together to completely cut out circle.  (Supplies are linked below (afil-Thank you!!)

I used the dies together and cut out wreath our of shimmery green cardstock, then I cut out the circle only on the white card.  I layered it on to a red card base, then cut out the center circle.  I diecut another white circle and layered it on the inside of the cardbase.  I gold heat embossed the sentiment in the center, diecut a bow out of glitter cardstock.  I layered the smaller sentiment below and rounded the corners.  Added the rhinestones and finished it off.  

I have several videos shot and hope to be able to edit them soon, if the iMac cooperates!  I hope you will stop by again asap!

Here are the supplies I used:

Take care and stay safe!!

Clean and Simple Spooky Halloween Tree- "A Blog Named Hero" Challenge Inspiration!

 Hello again!

This month's challenge is Clean and Simple and this card "mostly" is!  I wound up having to glue the scene to the background, but that's our little secret:)


I stamped the tree on white cardstock with black ink (supplies are linked below--(AFIL-thank you!!) and clear heat embossed it.

Next, I stamped the bird from last month's My Monthly Hero Kit in various spots and embossed as well. Then, I blended distress oxides in Halloween night colors.  Wipe with a dry cloth to brighten the black embossing.  I diecut the panel with an oval die and placed on my cardbase (clean and simple cards are supposed to have a lot of white space.)  

Finally, I took the sentiment from that same kit and white heat embossed on pitch black cardstock.

That's all there was to this!  Easy, peasy lemon squeezy!!

Hurry to enter the challenge at ABlogNamedHero.com as there are only a few days left until the drawing!  Stay tuned for the next month's challenge coming soon!

Here are the supplies I used:

Hope you are staying well!!
