Faery Ink One Dae Fae Day!!!!! Christmas Double Gate Fold Card using faery Ink Arielle Candy Cane Christmas Elf

This is like my favorite day of the month!! I love One Dae Fae day!!! Its one day a month that Amanda from Faery Ink creates this super adorable freebie for us all that's only available for 24hrs in the shop!! It is always a super cute little image!! And this month is not exception!! Look at this sweetie!!!

I just giggled the entire time I colored her!! For real!!!

And when I was done I used this awesome tutorial to turn her into a Double Gate Fold Christmas card!!

I love her so much you are gonna get to see her a few times this post!! 

For cardstock I used CTMH Kraft and colonial white. The papers are from My Minds Eye- Comfort and Joy collection. And then just for some added shine there is a red metallic paper used as an accent.

I used some new dies for the candy canes and present. I wrote and cut the sentiment with my Cricut Explore using the CMTH Artistry cartridge. Oh and a little Tim Holtz candy apple distress ink on all the edges.

And that's my adorable Arielle Candy Cane Christmas Elf for you!! Make sure you pop by the store to grab yours today!!!

I also want to take a minute to Thank all of you, Amanda, and the Faery Ink DT for having me the last 10 months!! Its been such a blast!!! Amanda is in the process of choosing a new DT right now!! I do hope to stay on the DT but who knows.. maybe One of you will get my spot!! I have had so much fun and loved creating along with you all and with Amandas incredible images!!!
Best of Luck to all those trying out for new DT and congrats to those who make it!!

This week the challenge is ANYTHING GOES!

Faery Ink

Prize: 3 Digital Images


This week I got to play with the beautiful Autumn Rose Coffee on the Go from Faery Ink! She was such a dream to color up! I played with a few fun techniques using Rangers Perfect Pearls which I had forgotten all about!!

I wish I could have snagged a better picture for you because all the snowflakes glitter like those two and the sentiment shines a blue green too!!

I do hope you are all staying warm in this terrible cold snap!! We are in the -30C's with the windchill everyday for the last week and a half and its supposed to stay with way till Christmas!! OY!!!

Stay warm and keep crafting!!!

Diagonal Double Gate Fold Christmas Card using Faery Ink's Aja- Warm Drink, Cold Day

Hey Hey Hey!!! Are you all almost ready for Christmas?? It's only 10 days away!! Where has the time gone!!! I am so running out of time to get all the things done I want to!! But I just keep pluggin away and hopefully I will manage it all!
Today I have a brand new release digital stamp to show you for Faery Ink!! Aja is just plain awesome if I do say so myself!! I loved the challenge of a darker skin tone which I don't do very often.. and coloring her dreads was so much fun!! I adore the snowflakes in the background it just gave it such a wintery feel!!

Isn't she just lovely!!! I loved coloring her soooo much!!!

To create the Diagonal Double Gate Fold I used this tutorial and loved doing it!! It is such a fun card!! This simple twist give such an interesting detail to the card!!!

I used different dies for all the cuts you see like the coffee up and snowflakes, even the image and mat. The pattern paper is from the Echo Park Hello Winter paper pack and I must have more of it!! So much more!!! LOL I used CTMH Twilight, Crystal Blue, and Saphire cardstocks. The blue enamel dots are also from CTMH and I used Tim Holtz Faded Denim distress ink to edge all the peices.

The inside I stamped with CTMH Crystal Blue and Twilight inks using CTMH Wonderland and Very Merry Christmas stamps. And as you can see I should have followed the tutorial better and stamped that coffee cup prior to glueing down the white cardstock... but we live and learn right!!!

Thanks for popping in today! I always have so much fun showing off my new creations with you all!!! Make sure you pop by the Store today to pick up your very own Aja- Warm drink, cold day digi stamp!!
