Christmas Wishes Card

How about a fun Christmas card with leaves? I have been in Christmas mode since the beginning of last month and having so much fun creating Christmas cards. I took out couple paints and decorated the card for today's project. If you want to see how this card is put together in person make sure to check out the video below!

I wanted to add lots of textures for today's card. So I embossed the 1st layer cardstock with woodgrain embossing folder and crumbled the die cut leaves to give more depth. Don't they look cool? I love how our CI paints give touch of shine when painted. Crumbled areas also hold more paint so they look darker than the smooth area, giving more interest to the project.

I hope you enjoy today's tutorial! Thanks for stopping by!

A Thousand Thanks Card

Hello all! Nicole with CIP here to share a very clean and simple card with you. I am super excited to be sharing projects for the next few months! I am a cardmaking gal so you will see lots of CAS cards using our wonderful Creative Inspirations Paints! 

Today's project features a fall-feeling thank you card. You can never have enough thank-you cards in hand, right? I played with some fall colors from the collection and laid them out on a very simple background to pop those colors out.

As you can see in the picture above, I wanted to leave some textures on those feather die-cut pieces, so I stroke my brush in different directions. I used Antique Copper for the bigger feather and stroke the brush sideways. The smaller one is colored with our lovely Mocha Latte and I painted it in downwards. As a finishing touch, I added couple of Jeweled Inspirations SS30 Clear on the bottom of the card.

These two colors are very soothing and capture the fall-feeling perfectly. This card would be perfect for any men in your life :) Hope you enjoyed today's project! Thank you for stopping by!!
