Neat and Tangled: Merry & Bright

Posted on October 14, 2017 by Yoonsun Hur

Hello crafty friends, TGIF!
I am guest designing with Neat and Tangled this month. I am so happy to be a part of this amazing company once again!!

Today I want to share with you my fun Christmas card with so adorable Beary Merry Stamp Set and the Merry and Bright Nice and Neat Die.

Here is what I came up with:
I started by stamping cute polar bear and candy cane from the Beary Merry set on watercolour paper using VersaFine Onyx Black pigment ink. I then watercoloured and fussy cut them. You can use the matching dies to cut stamped images. It is so much easier than use scissors. ;)
For the snowy night background, I ink blended on watercolour paper panel with Mermaid Lagoon, Faded Jean, Seedless Preserves, Black Soot Distress inks and mini blending tool, and then added white ink splatters all around the panel. For the sentiment, I die cut the word “Merry & Bright” from white card stock fine times, and then stacked them up using glue pen.
Once the panel was completely dry, I mounted it on white card base using double-sided tape first, and then added the sentiment die cut and the polar bear holding a candy cane on the card front using foam tape.

Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful weekend!!

Keep smiling and be blessed! God bless you all!

Altenew: Happy Holidays

Posted on October 13, 2017 by Yoonsun Hur

Happy Thursday crafty friends!
I’m up on the Altenew blog with my Christmas card to share with you using the Build-A-Flower: Poinsettia along with other products. The poinsettia is one of the plants traditionally use as Christmas decoration so it makes me feel excited about Christmas approaching!!
To create this card, I stamped & die cut the layered poinsettia from the Altenew Build-A-Flower: Poinsettia set. I used (from light to dark) Ruby Red, Velvet, Dark Chocolate dye inks for solid images and then Jet Black dye ink for outlined image. I then heat embossed the sentiment from the Altenew Holiday Wishes set on dark brown card stock in white, and then trimmed it down as a small banner.
For the background, I die cut the Striped Leaf Cover from kraft card stock, and then mounted the “Striped Leaf” panel on kraft card base using foam tape. I added white ink splatters here and there. I added Gold Fenstone Decorative, poinsettia die cut, and sentiment banner in order using foam tape as well. To finish it off, I added white dots using Nuvo Simply White Crystal Drops.
Thank you so much for stopping by. Happy crafting!!

Keep smiling and be blessed! God bless you all!

Posted on October 8, 2017 by Yoonsun Hur

Hello crafty friends, happy World Cardmaking Day!
I’m so thrilled (and honoured) to be a part of the Winnie and Walter World Cardmaking Day 2017 Blog Hop!!

Today I want to share with you my Christmas card with some Winnie and Walter Christmas themed stamp sets!
I started by stamping poinsettias (from the In Bloom Elsas Flora set), berries (from the Winter Woodland set), sentiment (from the Merry and Bright set), santa hat (from the Season’s Tweetings set) on an A2 sized watercolour paper panel in VersaFine Onyx Black pigment ink. I then watercoloured the stamped images with Distress inks and water brush.
Before mounting it on red card base, I tore the top part of the panel – Tearing it off at the top is something I rarely do, but works well on this card!!

SSS STAMPtember: PPP Damask Greetings

Posted on September 20, 2017 by Yoonsun Hur

Hello crafty friends, happy STAMPtember!
Today I want to share with you my damask Christmas card with the SSS & Pretty Pink Posh STAMPtember Damask Greetings stamp set.
These damask designs are simple yet elegant and appropriate for CAS Christmas cards!

To create this card, I 1) Drew grid lines on watercolour paper panel using a pencil. 2) Stamped damask images from the Damask Greetings set with some Distress inks: Mermaid Lagoon, Crushed Olive, Faded Jeans, Peacock Feathers, Evergreen Bough, Wild Honey. 3) Brushed the stamped images lightly using a wet paint brush – Distress inks react with water! 4) Die cut the word “Joy” from metallic white card stock using the Big Joy die five times, and then stacked them up using fine tip glue pen. 5) Mounted the damask background panel on top-folded Fog Gray card base using foam tape, added the sentiment die cut on the card front using foam tape as well.
I tried to create a clean and simple Christmas card. :D
Thank you so much for stopping by. Happy crafting!

Keep smiling and be blessed! God bless you all!

PPP September Product Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Posted on September 14, 2017 by Yoonsun Hur

Hello crafty friends, happy Thursday!!
Welcome to the first day of the Pretty Pink Posh September 2017 Product Release Blog Hop! If you arrived here from the Shannon McComb’s blog you are on the right track.

For my first card, I used brand new Autumn Blooms stamp set along with the Thoughtful Greetings sentiment stamp set. The Autumn Blooms set contains small flower & leaf images but we can create a bigger flowers with this set!
I started by stamping small flowers (from the Autumn Blooms set) onto the watercolour panel randomly using VersaFine Onyx Black pigment ink. I then freely painted a circle around the middle of each flower using Festive Berries, Mustard Seed, Scattered Straw Distress inks and a wet paint brush. Once the watercoloured panel was dry, I stamped leaves (from the Autumn Blooms set) between the flowers, and then coloured them with Mowed Lawn Distress ink and water brush. I added some red & yellow ink splatters as well. It’s not difficult is it?
For the sentiment, I used the Thoughtful Greetings stamp set. I heat embossed the “thank you” sentiment on black card stock in white, trimmed it down, and then put it up on the watercoloured floral panel using foam tape.

For my second card, I used the Stitched Foliage dies and the Angel Friends stamp & die set along with the Giving Thanks stamp set.
I die cut the stitched leaves from watercolour paper using the Stitched Foliage dies, adhered them on an A2 sized watercolour paper panel using glue pen. I then ink blended on it with Spiced Marmalade, Crushed Olive, Wild Honey, Victorian Velvet Distress inks and mini ink blending tool. I roughly brushed the inked leaves with a wet paint brush – Distress inks react with water. Once the panel was dry, I mounted it on white card base using double-sided tape first, and then added white ink splatters and a few 3mm clear sequins.
For those adorable angels, I stamped them (from the Angel Friends set) on white card stock using Memento Tuxedo Black dye ink, coloured them with Copic markers, and then die cut them with the matching dies. For the sentiment, I used the Giving Thanks stamp set.

For my last card, I used the Angel Friends stamp & die set along with the Winter Wonderland set. Yay! I love Christmas card!!
I heat embossed snowflakes (from the Winter Wonderland set) on watercolour panel in white, and then made a snowy night scene using Peerless watercolors and a wet paint brush. Of course, I added white ink splatters and clear sequins!
I watercoloured all adorable images – angels, eskimo girl, polar bear, igloo – with Peerless watercolors.

GIVEAWAY!!
There are 4 $25 gift certificates up for grabs (two winners each day). Winners will be picked randomly along the blog hop. Comments must be left by 11:59 PM PST on 9/19/2017. Winners will be announced on the PPP blog.
