Happy New Year Card on the Southern Ridge Trading Company Blog

I hope that had a wonderful Christmas with friends and family, making tons of memories. I'm back on the Southern Ridge Trading Company Blog today. Just a reminder that there are only three days left to add your project to our "Christmas Words" Monthly Challenge. To learn about all of the details and how to enter your piece, you can head here. Now lets get down to business, it's my last post of the 2015 year for Southern Ridge Trading Company and I thought what better way to end the year then by a Happy New Year card. 

Supplies Used: SRTC - Snowflake Wreath (large) & 10mm White Flowers, Emerald Creek - Happy New Year Stamp & Iridescent Shimmer Embossing Powder, Tsukineko/Imagine Crafts - Gold Delicata & Sponge Dauber, Zig Writer - Wink of Stella: Gold Glitter, Rhinestones - Clear, Bazzill Cardstock - White & Black, Crafter's Companion - Ultra Smooth Cardstock, Ranger - Heat Tool


To get the beautiful shimmer on the Snowflake Wreath - Large, I took a sponge dauber and applied Gold Delicata over the entire snowflake wreath. The snowflake wreath looked great once it was covered in Gold Delicata, but I wanted to add even more sparkle to it.  To add the extra sparkle, I covered the entire wreath with Iridescent Shimmer embossing powder from Emerald Creek and then dried it with a heat tool.  Once it was embossed, I added the clear rhinestones randomly around the entire wreath. The  finishing touch on my wreath, were the white flowers that I added Wink of Stella - Gold Glitter to the edges and then placed them around the wreath. To get the Happy New Year saying, apply Gold Delicata to the Happy New Year stamp and stamp onto Ultra Smooth Cardstock. Trim it down and adhere to an 1/8" larger piece of black cardstock. The saying will be adhered to the middle of the wreath around the swirls and snowflakes.


Here's my card with all of the pieces together:

Noel Christmas Tag on the Southern Ridge Trading Company Blog

Happy Saturday! I'am back on the Southern Ridge Trading Company Blog with a fun Christmas tag. Our challenge this month is all about Christmas so make sure that you participate as it is an easy one and you have a chance to win $20.00 in product of your choosing. To find out all of the details on the Challenge and how to participate, head HERE.  Without making you wait any longer, here is my fun Christmas tag:

Supplies Used: SRTC - Snowflakes 713 & Words of Christmas 2, Ranger - Bridal Tinsel Embossing Powder, Tim Holtz Distress Stain - Brushed Pewter, Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Walnut Stain, Dylusions Paint - Postbox Red, Emerald Creek - Large Snowflake and Small Snowflake charms, KaiserCraft Holly Jolly Collection - Joyous & Hearty, KaiserCraft Home for Christmas Collection - Laurel, Graphic 45 Staples - Large Black Tag, White Cardstock,  Tsukineko/Imagine Crafts - VersaMark, Wink of Stella Pen - Silver, Sakura Gel Pen - Clear, May Arts Ribbon - White Seam Binding Ribbon & Kraft Twine.

For the snowflakes I used Snowflakes 713, which are chipboard and covered them first with a layer of VersaMark and then sprinkled the Bridal Tinsel Embossing Powder overtop of them. I then used my heat tool to set the embossing powder. Once they were embossed, I added a layer of Tim Holtz Distress Stain in Brushed Pewter. To make sure the snowflakes were dry from the stain, I ran the heat tool over top of them.  Below is a photo of how they turned out.



The "Noel" word can be found on the Christmas Words 2 set.  I painted the "Noel" word using Dylusions Paint in Postbox Red. What is cool with this word, is you don't have to cover the word in Gesso before painting it because it is made out of wood. I went overtop of the word with my heat tool to make sure that the paint was dry. Below is how the noel word turned out.



Here is my card with all of the elements together. I added some fun snowflake charms from Emerald Creek. I felt my Christmas Trees were bare, so I added some sparkle to them using my Wink of Stella pen as well as my Sakura Clear Gel Pen.

Haunted House Mini Album on the Southern Ridge Trading Company Blog

Happy Halloween! I'am back on the Southern Ridge Trading Company blog with a fun haunted house mini album. There is still 10 hours to participate in our Monthly Challenge and here is where you can find all of the details. 


This is just one of the mini albums available in the SRTC store, which features a fun Haunted House front.  I mixed White Linen and Black Marble Dylusions Paint together to make the paint colour for my haunted house. Once the front was dry, I repeated the same steps and painted the back. I wanted to add some texture to my haunted house so I ran it through a brick embossing folder to give it the impression of a brick facade. My haunted house was still missing something so I added the birch tree die cut. The birch tree die cut was a bit plain so I dressed it up using my Wink of Stella clear shimmering pen.

Supplies Used: SRTC - Mini Album, Dylusions Paint - White Linen & Black Marble, Brick Embossing Folder, Wink of Stella Clear Shimmering Pen and Tim Holtz Die - Birch Trees.

To finish off the side of the front of my Haunted House mini album, I die cut the word "haunted" for the side beside my brass skull charm. I have to give Emerald Creek a shout out for the fabulous brass skull, where you can find here other charms and stamps. 

Supplies Used: Tim Holtz Die - Halloween Words Script & Emerald Creek - Brass Skulls.


For Page 1, I just covered the chipboard page with patterned paper from Reminisce called "Goosebumps - Scary Night". Once I adhered the paper, I added Glossy Accents to the pumpkins and the eyes of the bats.

Supplies Used: Glossy Accents, Black Soot Distress Ink & Reminisce - Goosebumps: Scary Night

For Page 2 and 3, I used chipboard pieces out of the Happy Halloween pack, which you can find here. I covered the ghost in White Linen Dylusions paint and I covered the bat in Black Marble Dylusions paint.  To get the effect I did on my spider webs, I blended Black Soot Distress Ink over top of both cob webs and then embossed them with Iridescent embossing powder. To add some detail to the black photo mats, I used the Tim Holtz Cobwebs embossing folder.

Page 2 Supplies Used: SRTC - Happy Halloween, Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Black Soot, Dylusions Paint - White Linen, Iridescent embossing powder, Reminisce Halloween - Scary Jack, Bazzill Cardstock - Orange & Black & Tim Holtz Embossing Folder - Cobwebs.

On Page 4 I adhered the Reminisce paper called "Goosebumps -  Scary Night" to the chipboard page. Once adhered I added Glossy Accents to the pumpkin faces. For page 5 I cut apart the Happy Halloween word found, here, for the top and bottom of my photo mat. Once the Happy Halloween word was cut apart I blended Tim Holtz Carved Pumpkin Distress Ink over top of both chipboard pieces.

For page 6 I painted the bat from the happy halloween pack in Black Marble Dylusions paint. I then cut out a cob web from the delicate web die from Memory Box. To add some interest to my cob web I added some sparkle with my Wink of Stella Clear Shimmering pen. For Page 7 I painted the ghost from the happy halloween chipboard piece in White Linen Dylusions paint. I repeated the same step with the cob web that I did on page 6. To add some detail to the black photo mats on both pages, I used the Tim Holtz Cobwebs embossing folder.


Page 6 Supplies Used: SRTC - Happy Halloween, Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Black Soot, Bazzill Cardstock - Orange & Black, Reminisce Halloween paper - Creepy, Wink of Stella - Clear Shimmer, Dylusions Paint - Black Marble, Tim Holtz Embossing Folder - Cobwebs & Memory Box Die - Delicate Web.

On page 8 I blended Black Soot Distress ink over top of the witch from the happy halloween pack. The witch needed some extra detail so I gave her some shimmer using the Wink of Stella Clear Shimmering pen. For page 9 I  adhered the Remininsce paper called "Goosebumps - Happy Halloween", once it was adhered, I added Glossy Accents to the windows of the haunted house. Once again I blended Black Soot Distress ink over top of the witch from the happy halloween pack and added some shimmer with the Wink of Stella Clear Shimmering pen.
