i-crafter | JULY RELEASE - Santa Tunnel Card

Hello, hello! It's time to reveal the new July 2020 Release from i-crafter! And GUESS WHAT?! It's one of my favorite themes - Christmas in July! I've done a short video showing you how easy it is to use the new Santa Tunnel Card Die Set!

The new Santa Tunnel Card Die Set works with the previously released Swan Tunnel Card Base Die Set - watch my video above to see just how easy it is to create a dimensional snowy scene!

I decided to cut all of my pieces from white cardstock and add color to my scene with Copic Markers, but you could add color however you want! You could use patterned paper and make it really easy! Or you could do some masking and ink blending, watercoloring - anything!

Once my card was assembled I brought in some extra pops of color with some pretty snowflake patterned papers at the front and back of my scene! Look at all the dimension! It's so pretty!

I hope you enjoyed this quick Santa Tunnel Card tutorial! This is only one of the fabulous Christmas in July items just released from i-crafter! Head over and get to shopping! See you soon!

Halloween Shadow Box

I've raved about the Lawn Fawn fall / winter release before...but it just keeps getting better! They released dies to make a little shadow box card! There are some seriously smart people over at Lawn Fawn! 

Of course I had to make a shadow box card with the Costume Party stamp set! I made my box from some dark purple cardstock. Purple is my go-to Halloween color! I cut some custom inserts for my shadow box - I used the forest border die, a simple stitched hill die, and the grassy border die. I used two shades of green cardstock - lighter in the front and darker in the back - to add more depth.

I love how you can see different details every time you tilt the shadow box! I colored a bunch of candies, pumpkins, and kids in costumes! I really wanted to fill up this shadow box!

After I colored and cut out my images I added a bunch of clear shimmer from Spectrum Noir. I even added shimmer to the front of the box. I ran out of somewhere to stamp a sentiment, so I took a cue from one of the Lawn Fawn videos and I stamped my sentiment onto a strip of white cardstock and added it to the top of the box.

Thanks for joining me!
