Fairy Stamper ~ Happy New Year!

 Hello crafting friends and welcome to my last Fairy Stamper Friday share!

  I have enjoyed this creative journey for a little over 3 years, but I decided to step down and reduce my DT projects for now.  Life is a little crazy at the moment and I'm not having as much time to craft as I would like.

Since it is the end of 2022 and the New Year celebrations are upon us this weekend, I made a Happy New Year card.  Take a look ...

I began by using a slimline piece of cardstock from the Fairy Hugs Slimline collection.  Next I stamped the fairies, then masked them and stamped the mushrooms.  Then I stamped the flowers.  When the ink was dry, I stamped the fireworks using VersaMark ink and used gold, blue and silver embossing powders to add colour and shine to them.  Lastly I added the glitter to the fairy wings and little "flowers" to the green vines.

On the inside, I kept it very simple by computer generating the greeting and ink blending around it. I used gold mirror cardstock to add a little shine to this Happy New Year card.

Now for the list of supplies I used, each linked to the Fairy Stamper store, for your convenience.

Fairy Hugs Papers - Moon Light Night

Fairy Hugs Stamps - Spoolwood Mushrooms, Peony, Iris, Fireworks, Hanging Vines

Marianne Designs - Wild Flowers

Fairy Hugs Glitter - Translucent Pearl

Fairy Stamper ~ Simple Snowman

  Hello friends and welcome back to my Fairy Stamper Friday share!

Did you catch the International Stamps sales event that Fairy Stamper store had this last weekend?  I always buy more than my fair share during these sales events.  Although I love my fairies, sometimes, it's awesome to get a few other stamps.  Using the snowman only, from the Winter Chatter stamp set by Frog's Whiskers Ink, I made this quick and easy card.

As you can see, just an embossing folder and the snowman stamp was all that was needed.

My intention was to use the Love at Christmas stamp but I cannot find.  I know it's somewhere in the mess that is my hobby room right now.  It has also been converted into Santa's wrapping station, so everything is everywhere :-)  It would have been the perfect sentiment to put on the inside of this card.  But since I could not find it, I used a small stamp for the Merry Christmas on the front of the card. My snowflakes were also stamped with a little stamp I got in my stash.  I have since then, received my order from the Fairy Stamper store, and the Snowfall stamp would have worked beautifully.

So here is a list of the supplies I used and those I wanted to use :-)

Fairy Hugs stamps - Love at Christmas

Fairy Hugs stamps - Snowfall

Frog's Whiskers Ink stamps - Winter Chatter

Fairy Hugs ink - Raven Black

Distress Oxide ink - Weathered Wood

Fairy Stamper ~ Deer in the Forest

 Hello friends and welcome back to my Fairy Stamper Friday share!

As Christmas approaches, cards should all be in the mail by now.  If you're like me, though, you're still a few cards short.  This card came together pretty quickly so I think it will work well for mass producing.

I began stamping the deer and the pine trees.  Next I partially masked the deer and inking the sky.

When all the ink was dry, I used a stencil and Aleene's Glitter Snow paste to create the snowfall. When the paste was dry, I used my dies to make all the die cuts, embossed the white mat, and assembled the card. 

On the inside, I left it very simple by just stamping my Christmas sentiment. This gives me space to write my personal message. All in all it just took me a little over 20 minutes to complete this card. 

Listed below are the supplies I used to make my card, most linked the Fairy Stamper store, for your convenience.

Fairy Hugs stamps - Rugged Pines, Mini Deer, Pine Cluster

Distress Oxide Inks - Stormy Sky

VersaFine Clair Inks - Acorn, Pinecone, Rain Forest

Frog's Whiskers Stamps - A Wonderful Year

Other supplies:
Marianne Design - Merry Christmas Circle
Elizabeth Craft Designs - Snowstorm & Mounds Stencil
Cuttlebug - Swiss Dots Embossing Folder

Frog's Whiskers stamps and others from European companies are available at Fairy Stamper during special order events that the Fairy Stamper store holds every once in a while. The best way to know about these is to subscribe to the newsletter HERE.

Fairy Stamper ~ Snowflake Swirls

 Hello friends and welcome back to my Fairy Stamper Friday share!

When the ballerina fairies begin to dance, snowflakes begin to swirl and Quilo joins in with some prancing of his own :-)

Using a Fairy Hugs paper, and a few Fairy Hugs stamps, I created this magical scene. I stamped the different images in different colours to create a little contrast and depth. I've listed all the supplies I used later on in this post.

On the inside I kept it simple so that I have plenty of space to write my own personal message. In order to carry the magic to the inside of the card, I stamped another snowflake swirl and the Christmas greeting.

Listed below are the supplies I used to make my card, each linked the Fairy Stamper store, for your convenience.

Hello friends and welcome back to my Fairy Stamper Friday share!

Following a tutorial by Sandy Allnock, I tried my hand at faux wood burning, and for a newbie and first time try, I think it came out okay.

There really isn't much to tell you about this project.  If you take a look at Sandy's tutorial, she explains and shows how's it done a lot better than I ever could.  I can tell you, however the supplies I used to make my tag, and I have linked them to the Fairy Stamper store.

Distress Oxide ink - Vintage Photo, Ground Espresso

Fairy Stamper ~ Bell Winter Scene

 Hello friends and welcome back to my Fairy Stamper Friday share!

I recently got this new bell stencil and snowflake frame die. What better way to play with my new stash of Fairy Hugs stamps.

First I inked the bell, then stamped the images to create the scene.

Next I matted and adhered all my layers and voila, front of the card done!

On the inside I stamped another little scene to go with the one in the front and added the sentiment. I'm loving these new Winter dies from Fairy Hugs. The possibilities are endless for Christmas and Winter cards.

Here is the list of supplies I used, each linked to the Fairy Stamper store, for your convenience.

Fairy Stamper ~ Sympathy Card

 Hello friends and welcome back to my Fairy Stamper Friday share!

I used both stamps from the Leafy Scrolls stamp set, and the little birds from the Woodland Flight stamp set, to make the background for this card.

Before I stamped the leafy scrolls and the birds, I ink blended the background using Rustic Wilderness and Mowed Lawn distress oxide inks.

To stamp the leafy scrolls and the birds, I used VersaFine Clair inks.

Once the background panel was done, I adhered it to mirror cardstock and then adhered those to green cardstock.  I had cut and scored a piece of acetate which was .5" longer than my card.  I sandwiched it between the matted layers and another piece of green cardstock. This way you can't see any of the adsehive tape I used.

I kept it very simple on the back. Just a little layered mirror and white cardstock, large enough for me to write my personal message.  Unfortunately every now and then we just need a Sympathy card.  I hope the recipient knows I'm thinking of her and her family at this very sad time.

Fairy Stamper ~ Mushroom Hopping

Hello friends and welcome back to my Fairy Stamper Friday share!

 

A little mushroom hopping fun, today, in Fairy Land. The kittens came to join in the fun, while the butterflies are flying along keeping a watch on all the shenanigans. 

I did a very light water colour layer on the background. Then stamped my images, coloured them, added glitter to the fairy wings, and it was done.  On the inside, I inked in the grass and stamped another little kitty for fun.

Below is the list of supplies I used, each one linked to the Fairy Stamper store, for your convenience.

Fairy Stamper ~ Witchy Inn Stitched Card

 Hello friends and welcome back to my Fairy Stamper Friday share!

I used a purple and brown colour combo stitching on these daisies.  Not liking it very much for the project I had in mind, the idea came to me that it would be perfect for a Halloween card.  What do you think?

I needed a slim panel to put on this card and so the Witche's Inn came to mind.  This turned out to be a one layer card as I inked and stamped straight onto the front of the card.

On the inside, I placed a purple panels on the inside of the card, one of them covering all the stitching.

I made a slim panel to put on the inside of the card with my greeting and where I will write my personal message. 

Below is the list of supplies I used, each one linked to the Fairy Stamper store, for your convenience.

 Fairy Hugs Stamps - Witches Inn, Witchy Dwellers, Halloween Hello

Fairy Stamper ~ Skating by with a Christmas Hello

 Hello friends and welcome back to my Fairy Stamper Friday share!

I realized that I still need quite a few more Christmas cards, so here is the beautiful and graceful Arabella, from Fairy Hugs Stamps, skating by with a Christmas greeting from our home to yours!

I began by stamping Arabella and then created a mask for her and for the snowy ground. Next I inked the sky with a light blue and then masked off the moon as well.  Then using a darker shade of blue ink, I finished the rest of the sky. I didn't want a bright white moon as I wanted the focus to be on Arabella instead of Santa and his reindeer. When the sky was done, I removed all the masks, stamped the landscape and added colour to Arabella.  I added a little "frozen river" so she could have some smooth skating :-) Lastly, I stamped and coloured the lanterns.

 

On the inside, I printed the greeting and stamped a few more lanterns to the snowy banks for continuity of theme of the card. 

The landscape, lanterns, and Santa stamps are from Marianne Design. These are sold during the International Stamps Special Order events that the Fairy Stamper store holds every once in a while. The best way to know about these is to subscribe to the newsletter HERE.
