Limited Edition Holiday Card Kit Blog Hop

November 16, 2018

Hi there! Today I’m joining Simon Says Stamp for a blog hop featuring the AWESOME Limited Edition Holiday Card Kit Comfort & Joy!
SSS-Limited Edition Holiday 2018 Card KitI’ve created two projects using the contents of the kit.SSS-Poinsettia Background & Comfort & JoyFor this card I embossed the gorgeous Poinsettia Background cling in white onto Schoolhouse Red cardstock. Then I embossed the large snowflake image from Comfort & Joy in Antique Gold along with the sentiment embossed in white. I used one of the Sentiment Label dies to die cut the embossed sentiment.
SSS-Limited Edition Holiday 2018 Card KitFor this next card I used a couple pieces of ephemera from the Tim Holtz Idealogy Christmas Ephemera pack included in the kit.
SSS-Limited Edition Holiday 2018 Card KitI’m in love with that vintage hymn ephemera! I mounted it onto some plaid pattern paper by Echo Park, also included in the kit. For the Christmas Wreath ephemera, I punched a hole in the top and tied a bow using the green organdy by May Arts, included in the kit.

Pretty Pink Posh November Blog Hop

November 16, 2018

Hi there! Today I’m excited to join Pretty Pink Posh for Day 2 of their November release.
Pretty Pink Posh-Tree Shaker Die & Layered Tree DieMy first project features the Layered Tree Die. This card is so simple, which are usually my favorites) and yet it makes me giddy with the rainbow pom poms.
Pretty Pink Posh-Layered Tree dieI die cut the layered of the tree using three shades of green cardstock: Limeade Ice, Simply Chartreuse & Ripe Avocado. To make the bottom layer darker, I die cut Ripe Avocado cardstock and blended Forest Moss Oxide ink onto it. I threaded some mini pom poms(bought at hobby lobby) onto white thread to decorate the tree. A few pom poms are secured with glossy accents. For the sentiment I used the Caroling Critters stamp set.
Pretty Pink Posh-Layered Tree dieThis next card uses the Tree Shaker Die.Pretty Pink Posh-Tree Shaker DieI trimmed strips of solid colored cardstock and adhered them onto an angle. I die cut three trees using the Tree Shaker die and adhered them together with spray adhesive to add dimension. I also embossed a coordinating sentiment using the Caroling Critters set.

Lawn Fawn-Double Slider Surprise

November 6, 2018

Hi there! Today I have a fun interactive card to share using the Double Slider Surprise dies by Lawn Fawn. This was so fun to put together and even more fun to show my kids. I always get the “oohs & ahhs” when I show the interactive cards:)Lawn Fawn-Winter Skies & Double SliderFor the images I used the Winter Skies set. I used the Landscape Stitched Hillside Backdrop die to create the snowy hills. I blended distress oxide inks in Mermaid Lagoon & Blueprint Sketch for the winter sky, followed by flicks of water, white acrylic ink & Licorice liquid watercolor.
Lawn Fawn-Winter Skies & Double SliderI also used some of the Really Rainbow Christmas pattern paper on the card base & the Push Here set to label the pull tabs. I tried to make a video, but I was confusing myself at first trying to put the double slider together. Kelly does an amazing video explaining how to put one of these interactive cards together HERE.
_Lawn Fawn-Winter Skies & Double SliderMG_0601I did manage to get my son, Charlie, to pull the tabs for me while I taped him with my phone just to show you the magic.

There is some incredible inspiration using the Double Slider dies HERE.
I do have a winner to announce from my My Favorite Things giveaway.
Congratulations Jackie Price!
