Here are all the holiday cards I made at the end of 2016. To keep up with my latest projects and cards – instagram handle: zehra/rosebest

All of these cards were personalized using the Penned Alphabet set from Concord and 9th. Love this set. A truly worth buying set.

I used Altenew henna elements and colored with zig clean color pens. Gold embossed added sequins and ribbon.

Male cards are always a little hard for me, but this turned out well, a little lace is always good. MFT stamps and dies.

A simple shaker card with tons of sequins and MFT background die. also used viva pen for glitter.

This was a male card made easy by tons of Impression obsession dies and stickles, soft distress inks background.

Another male card with snowman-paperpieced and dies colored with distress inks.

This was made with a tim hotlz stencil and Altenew Lily stamp with Altenew inks.

Dry embossed the background and added rolled roses fro MFT-love to color them with distress inks. ribbon and pearls are great to give finishing touches.

I used a digital stamp from Make it Crafty and colored with copics. Added tons of white gel pen.

I won a few stamps in Instagram and these were so adorable I made a little scene. colored with distress markers. lots of stickles.

I used martha stewart punch for the wreath and a cute snowman stamp from my stash colored with gel pens. Stencl at the back is from MFT.

This is nothing but embossing with silver and gold ranger embossing powder.

First time I used Rub ons in the background. Santa is colored with copics.

Used inlay techniques with MFT ornaments die colored with zig pens. gems completed the card

Aren’t these penguins adorable. loved making hills and coloring with copics. Lots of stickles. This was a male card too.

Last a few lip balm holders. check the lip balms here- http://www.rosebest.com

cardstock, glossy accents, handmade card, handmade flowers, MFT dienamics, MFT stamps, pearls, twine, Zig clean color pens, zva pearls

I made this loosely based on MFT sketch 269 and moved it vertically. This was for a dear friend who had a loss.

It took me three tries to make this card background. I used zig pens to swipe the color and then blended with water, I added some more color that I did not blend, heat set it. Added the leaves with versa fine ink. the sentiment was embossed on black cut with postage stax(I use this stax a lot). added a rose from the previous pieces i did not like. Initially i had made the sentiment piece with a blue flag stax but the sentiment did not emboss well and i had to let that go. I added matching leaves die to the rose in black and white. added the twine for the lower flag stax in the sketch. added some pearls fr pop.

so here is the actual card I had made for the challenge MFT 186. THis is a 5.5 x 5.5 card as I felt the word Happy needed it’s space.

I love how this card looks, the stamps and die is awesome. I have also used MFT stencil the stripes and i used 3 MFT inks for it- bubblegum, blu raspberry and lemon drop. I distressed the edges with antique linen. I also have dry embossed one panel. I had started with July color palette of MFT but then strayed as i added layers. The word happy was cut in three layers and then added a coat of glossy accents on the top. The rolled roses have stickles on the top. The swirl is from zva pearls.

Here is the inside

I made this for Loves RUbber stamps guest Dt card for week 4. This is my last card for them in the month of November. I truly enjoyed creating the cards this month.

If you have not visited Loves Rubber stamps– you should- it is like a one stop shop for most of your crafting needs.

I used the splitcoaststampers sketch 463, it had so many layers, so my thing! for the square layer I added a piece of lace, sorry the oval hides it it is an awesome lace. I colored the image with copics, and added wild honey distress ink to it’s background and to all the papers. I love this Gina K Design paper. The image was cut with MFT- oval Stax. I added glossy accents to the pot and flowers. Isn’t the MFT solid bracket border awesome, it is good enough to stand alone by itself. Behind the oval are two different MFT fishtail falg stax. I cut the flower- MFT pretty posies from My mind’s Eye paper and used the embossing tool kit to curl the flowers, I added milled lavender to it and then popped it all between the layers. I added a button and hemp cord that I colored with distress ink. I added a MFT vintage flourish and a zva pearl. I added some white pearls to balance it all.

Here is the inside.

I used MFT sketch 125, just playing catch up.

I used MFT die– hello and the feathers, i did the feather with coor blocking technique, loved the gradient look on it. I added a button and twine on it. The panel underneath was colored with distress inks amd spellbinder impressionabilities. I felt the card needed something more and so added the lace underneath the hello. Also added bow with hemp cord and a gem. All edges were distressed, added pierced holes top and bottom by adding the holes from the back given the front a raised look.

$25 GC to Fred She Said Store

I have a project and a card to share today.

I made a Luminaria, it is fun and easy to do. Here is the link for all details. The tutorial is from Splitcoaststampers.

Here it is from all four sides. This is so cool with the flameless tealight(I had received one a couple of years ago and luckily my daughter had it saved. Whew!)

I have used a lot of fun new winter images from Fred She Said. for the first panel, I popped the naughty or nice PRECOLORED elf(4inches). I fussy cut it and added mowed lawn distress ink to its edges. I added flower soft to all it’s trims and to the ground. I have had flower soft for quite some time and have never used it, Love the texture it provides. The next two opposite sides have the crystal snowflakes, down to 1 inches each. I colored them with salty ocean distress ink, it is a beautiful color and I added stickles to it. I do not have the cutting machine so I hand cut each one, it was pretty easy to do. On the side opposite of the elf I added the PRECOLORED Snow Lady- Light Up your Holidays(4inches). I fussy cut her, added salty ocean distress ink and added some flower soft to her scarf and holly leaves on her hat. Her hand reaches out to the side of the luminaria.

Here is th inside and a picture in a dark room.

Now onto my card

I used the Sweet Sunday Sketch 171 for this card. I did take some liberties with the sketch. I mirror imaged it. Instead of the full circle I added it as a corner to resemble a hill and added a sentiment where the flag would be.

Fred She Said has so many fun images. Since the theme was Christmas, I decided to color Emma the Skating elf with traditional colors and so there is not much shading here. I used R29 for the red and added glossy accents wherever the color red is. I used Y08, and G00,YG06 and 03 for the dress. skin-E35,11 and E02 Hair is E15,11and YR23. Do you see the gorgeous Crystal snowflake peeping from under her, this is 4 inches and is so awesome. It is colored with Salty ocean distress ink and then has pearlized water, once dry has stickles. In the corner is the absolute beautiful PRECOLORED Poinsettia, I just printed the jpg sheet, did not resize it as the size is just perfect. I fussy cut it added stickles. Once dry, popped all layers on dimensionals and added a sweet white button in it’s center. Other details added are a embossed Folder -cuttlebug and christmas paper pack used here. Christmas blessing sentiment, also from Fred She Said. I also added a zva swirl, this card looks so shiny in real life.

Here is the inside, could not resist adding a poinsettia again.
