This or That Thursday - Christmas Friends

 Hello on this lovely sunny Thursday. For my This and That cards today, I have made 2 similar projects but used different papers and the Christmas Friends stamp set and Dies too this time. 

 

 THIS

For this today I used a piece of the DSP from Winter Meadow DSP adhered to a of Night of Navy card base. I stamped several of the polar bears onto a scrap of White card and coloured them all in. I chose this one as I think it coordinates well with the paper colours. I used a gold gel pen for the decorations and the bow on the wreath around his neck and then die cut a bow from the Silver and Gold adhesive backed card. I also die cut garland pieces and adhered them to a piece of white card that I had stamped my sentiment onto. Once the garland was dry, I fussy cut around it to follow the leaves on the garland itlsef. I added another of the Polar Bears to the inside white mat and another piece of the garland under the sentiment. I used a Sticky note to omit the words from the sentiment... Owl be ...

THAT

My THAT card I used  a piece of patterned paper from the Nests of Winter DSP. This was layered onto a Basic Black mat then onto aGray Granite card base. This time I used the Reindeer for my card. I coloured him in using the Stampin' Blends pens, I made a small cut-out from his mouth and added a present into it. I used some more of the gold glimmer paper from the Silver and Gold adhesive backed glimmer again onloy this time for a bow or 2 and the ribbons for some presents. Very simple cards today so hopefully not too difficult to decide which you prefer.This time thought, I have added the Owl inside adn the sentiment Owl be thinking of you this season. 

 

This or That Thursday - Backgrounds - It's In The Stars

 Hello, thank you for stopping by. Today for my first card, I stamped the image from It's in the Stars using Versamark Ink pad onto a piece of A5 white card. Once done, I turned the card around and then repeated it across the other side of the card. I poured White Embossing Powder across the whole sheet and then heat set it. Using a Blending Brush I coloured the white card using Starry Sky ink. I didn't want it too dark so was very careful how I applied it. Once complete, I used a tissue to rub over the stars well to make them shine. Using the In The Moment stamp set, I stamped one of the images and coloured it using my blends pens. Then I did as I always like to do and fussy cut it all out. I stamped and added some sentiments and completed the THIS card. 

THIS AND THAT

My next card is using the other half of the blue sky and stars. This time I have die cut some of the Cheerful Daisies and pieced them altogether. I added a few of the fine leaves behind them, some sentiments later and the THAT card is complete too.

 

 

This or That Thursday - He's All That

 Well here we are on Thursday's this or that projects. I had great fun in the cards today, in fact I made 4 but these 2 my family all love so here they are. Using the He's All That stamp set, I stamped 2 sentiments onto Basic White card then put them aside. I cut several pieces of the DSP, Designer Series Papers from He's The Man papers and the matching cards. I had several scraps of papers anyway so I cut several of them to the same size and different sizes and just played with them. The little cross hatch shapes are from the dies in the set All That. The circle on the right-hand side is also a die from the same kit. This time, lots of paper placing, die cutting and a little stamping.
