Thanksgiving Place Cards feat. Gerda Steiner "All Cats" set!

Hey everyone it's Elina here & happy Tuesday to all!

I hope your day is off to a great start!

Today's post features place cards I made for my Holiday table.

Making place cards has become a tradition for a few years now.

Our table settings are pretty informal so it gives me leeway to come up

with cool designs.

So for this year's place cards I decided

to use the "All Cats" stamp set from Gerda Steiner.

I love this set & I have used it for a 

number of different projects.

You can check out the video below for all details...

Here are a few close up pics:

I kept the design pretty simple.

I think the kitty turned out super cute.

I chose this image from the set because

of he sign he's holding.

It made it easier to stamp the names without adding

extra layers.

I hope you enjoyed this project & video!

Stay tuned for the start of my Holiday 2017 series this Friday!

You don't want to miss it!

Thanks for stopping by, enjoy the rest of your day &

have a happy & safe Thanksgiving!

Fall Makeover feat. Julie Nutting's "Megan" stamp!

Hey everyone it's Elina here!

I hope you are having a wonderful Friday evening!

Today's post features the Julie Nutting

"Megan"stamp. 

I thought it would be cool to create a cute outfit for Fall.

Now anytime I decide to alter an image's outfit

I first stamp the image on scrap paper.

Then I draw how I want the outfit to look 

on top of the stamped image.

Next I refine the look of outline and cut it out.

From there I trace out the basic shape on the white card

or patterned paper.

I draw in any fine details I want to add, add color

and/or shading.

Lastly I stamp the image on white card & add the new outfit.

And voila! A new outfit for your image that fits matches up

perfectly.
