Hey everyone! Apologies for the lack of posts so far this week! It's been a crazy week as usual lol! 

Anywho - I'm part of a fun video hop with the Studio Light brand today. if you missed it I did a video HERE when I'd ordered a bunch of their Missees products and just fell in love with the line. And I will have more videos in the future as there are all sorts of new ones that have been released in the last several months!

SO - Studio Light reached out to me and several other designers and asked us to be a part of a video hop sharing projects with a Winter/Christmas theme. I'll link to their videos below but take note that this is a YOUTUBE hop so comments only on YouTube under those videos count for the giveaways!

ALSO - if you've missed any of my previous Christmas cards so far for this years series you can find them all at the links below:

Easy Ink Blended Die Cut Anemones | AmyR Christmas 2021 Series #1

OK on to my cards:

These are 3.25 x 6.25" Mini Slimline cards. 

I used Studio Light's Christmas Baubles stamp set and stamped all the ornaments from it onto Distress Watercolor paper using Versafine Clair Morning Mist Ink, and then heat embossed them with Ranger's Liquid Platinum Embossing Powder.

I used a BUNCH of Distress Inks (all the colors used are listed in the supplies at the end of this post) to watercolor in all the ornaments and then once dry I cut them out. I added white die cut snowflakes to the panel (apologies I don't have a link for them! They're from Studio Light but I couldn't find them on the SSS site and the package doesn't have a name - they're pretty so those or any die cut snowflakes will work).

I used Glossy Accents and Simon's Unicorn Dust Glitter and Unicorn Chunky Glitter to add the shimmery accents to all the ornaments. And added bling of course ;).

I used sentiments from the Studio Light Christmas Handletter stamp set for the outside and inside of the cards and that finished them off!

Studio Light Missees by Karin Joan Haul + Easy Fun Slimline Cards!

Hello everyone! Sorry for the delay since the last video - it's generally chaos here plus I got deep into making several cards and ended up with a nearly 30 min long video to share with y'all LOL!

A couple of weeks ago I spied a new (to me) brand in the Simon Says Stamp store - Studio Light. I especially loved the looks of the "Missees" products by Karin Joan. So I ordered them all. They got here and I tore into the package, filmed the haul video for y'all and then made a bunch of cards using some of the stamps and dies and papers and bling:

All these cards are 3.5 x 8.5" slimline cards.

I had SO MUCH FUN making these cards. I used the Betty, Tasha and Carol Missees Stamps and Die sets to make all the characters. I die cut a ton of bodies/faces using all sorts of neutral card stocks in my stash. I mention in the video though how fun it would be to die cut everything from either white card stock or watercolor paper - and then use Copics/inks/markers to then get whatever skin tones you want and add contouring and highlights etc etc. You could REALLY personalize these - the sky is the limit. 

I kept all mine "simple" lol. I stuck with cardstock, stamped the facial features with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and then filled in the eye areas and added highlights with my white gel pen. 

I used patterned paper from the packs I bought (everything is linked below!) and coordinated some solid-colours of card stock from my stash to go with and then just went to town making all these into slimline cards.

I gold heat embossed sentiments from the MISSEES 8 and MISSEES 9 stamp sets for the outside and inside of the cards. To die cut those sentiments plus the elements for the insides I used the MISSEES 1 wafer die set. I of course added a whole bunch of bling to all of the cards (links below!) and that was it!
