Kennedy Grace Creations

Hello my fellow crafters!  Jill here on the Kennedy Grace Creations Blog sharing another December card creation.  As December winds to a close, I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas with family and/or friends.  Although Christmas is now past, I made this card last month before I realized my post would be after Christmas! To me however, Christmas is not just one day, but the beginning of forever (if you believe).  And as many crafters do, they make Christmas cards all year 'round.  So this is especially for those of you who never get tired of seeing or making Christmas cards. You may recognize the wreath element in my card and the background technique I used on this card.  I used an Antique Linen   Distress Oxide pad and dragged it down the length of the cardstock several times to create a wooden door or panel look.  Then, I wanted to show how you can totally change the look of your card/wreath simply by changing up your ink colors (see my November Mood Board card for

It's Brenda back with another share.  Can you believe, if you celebrate Christmas, only 6 more days.  I have to admit, I still have a few cards to post tomorrow but thankfully they were all done awhile back.  I'm sharing one with you today that I made using Grace's Little Note  from the  Kennedy Grace Creations  store. Grace's Little Note For this card I used a masking technique to stamp the flowers along the diagonal and then fussy cut them along the leafy edge.  I LOVE fussy cutting and find it to be a wonderful way to just tune out and enjoy my crafty time.  The flowers were colored with Copic markers with a little Stickles added to the center and then scattered for some shine.  I chose to color them red and green for that traditional Christmas feel but I tell you these Grace's Little Note flowers would work well in any color for any occasion . The sentiments were added, one die cut the other heat embossed.  Here it is from another angle. Be

Hello holiday crafters, it's Jill in full Christmas swing here on the Kennedy Grace Creations Blog!!   My card today is called " God's Greatest Gift . "  I wanted to shake things up a bit by using a technique I had never used before - Yupo paper and Ranger alcohol inks .  I created my card background using several colors (in hindsight I would have used fewer) and the silver metallic mixative (love it!).  I then embossed the Yupo paper with a Sizzix Christmas snowflakes embossing folder that I discovered in my stash (I don't tend to use a lot of embossing folders, so I sometimes forget about them).  But that was exactly what this Yupo paper needed to make it look like a Christmas background! I then die cut Penny Black's Manger die from the middle of the central embossed snowflake on the card panel, then die cut it again from NSW #110 cardstock.  I inlaid the white die cut into the Yupo paper, then adhered some clear acetate to the back side of it.

Hello dear frends, Martha Lucia here with you! Blue Flowers for Christmas and flowers for everything! I love the stamps of Kennedy Grace Creations because they have an amazing collection of flowers and they are my favorites!  Today I have a project to share with you using the Grace's Little Note stamp set . Take a look at my card:   This is not a Christmas stamp set but with a little of creativity you can make whatever you want. And this is what I made. I just decided to stamp one of the flowers included on the stamp set Grace's Little Note with Versamark Ink and Gold Embossing Powder over Basic Black Cardstock and melted the powder. I tried not to connect the flowers so since I stamped one by one it was very easy to remove the powder when I didn't want to connect the flowers.   Then using Prismacolor Premier Color Pencils I colored each flower. In this opportunity I went with the blues and greens. I used two different blues and two different greens, but de

Hello everybody, It's Donna here, and I'm so excited to be sharing a card that I made using the November mood board. I love using mood boards, because sometimes it's hard to know where to start, and the mood board gives me direction and inspiration. We'd love to see what others do with the mood board, so don't forget to share and tag us if you play along. All the links are at the bottom of this post! So, here is my card... I stamped the beautiful images from the " Grace's Little Note " stamp set, and heat embossed them with gold glitter embossing powder on a piece of watercolour paper. I then watercolored the flowers using three layers of red and pink, and coloured between the flowers with raw sienna.  I cut out a window from a piece of off white card, and, using two circle dies, I cut a thin frame for the hole from gold glitter paper. I used the same glitter paper to make the string and top of the bauble, but I just cut these freehand.
