Glitzy Tree Inlay Cards

 Have you seen the incredible new holiday releases from Concord and 9th? It's instant love from me!

The C9 inlay dies are addictive - once you start you're left with leftover and you can't let them go to waste so you JUST KEEP GOING and it's a vicious but beautiful crafting cycle :) My beautiful Spellbinders Platinum machine for quite the workout with these!

Anyways, These three cards feature the C9 Tree Lot Inlay Die. The base of each card uses Sand Cardstock from Hero Arts. I cut the inlay die from each of the following cardstock colors: Avocado, Aqua Sky, and Midnight. I then glued the pieces to the base...

Tip that I wish I realized first - There are three of each style of tree. So if you plan to make three cards at once like I did, you can add one of each style in each color on each card.

Now, I did NOT inlay each of the little ornament circles. I used Perfect Pearls in Silver to save me a lot of time and fuss.

The sentiments on each card are from the Holly Jolly Greetings Dies. I used an old Hero Arts super glitzy cardstock for the main parts of each sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by! Now I'm left with card bases in each of these three beautiful cardstock colors... time to make more inlay tree cards!

Hero Studio November Countdown

 It's time for some sneaks of the latest Hero Arts Hero Studio kit! The fun peeking animals are now in stamp form, and perfect for your holiday cards. Since the Hero Arts website is down for maintenance, please join the countdown hop on Instagram! You can find me at: @rwkrafts

I made two cards today that feature some images from the main clear stamp set and the fun accessory dies (the gift box and stocking... but there are plenty more!).

I had to use this little fox stamp because it reminds me exactly of my puppy, Wicket. The little fox has a pink glittery gift box to pop out of. The Pistachio Cardstock tag was inked with Unicorn Ink and a stencil that's included in the November kit.

The tag portion is mounted on some Nautical cardstock, which has been dry embossed with the same stencil to add texture.

HELLO! THERE IS A SQUIRREL IMAGE IN THIS SET! I REPEAT! A SQUIRREL!!!! On of my favorite animals and they definitely do not get enough respect. This little squirrel gets his very own elf hat and an embossed stocking. I'm sure it's filled with only the highest quality, all natural, organic acorns.

Thanks for stopping by!

Do you know the muffin man?

 The Peeking Dies from Hero Arts are becoming a MUST HAVE staple to any collection! The newest addition certainly doesn't disappoint :)

It's hard not to scream, "Not my gumdrop buttons!" while putting this cutie together :) I die cut the Peeking Gingerbread Man from Sand Cardstock and lightly blended the edges with Cup o Joe ink. The little accents are cut from White Glitter Cardstock and I colored them directly with Copic markers to get the color I wanted.

The background is stamped with the new October Rubber Cling Stamp then cut with the Infinity Postage Dies. Many of the elements also have prisma glitter added for a fun winter shine.
