WPlus9-Holly Jolly
October 25, 2018Hi there! Today I’m sharing a project featuring a few of the goodies from the awesome new WPlus9 Winter Collection.
For the background I used the Knit Patterns stamps with Dew Drops ink. Using one of the MISTI Creative Corners helped a ton in keeping the knit pattern straight.
For the sentiment I used the Holly Jolly Christmas stamp set along with the coordinating Holly Jolly dies.
Here’s a video to show you how I created this card.

Mama Elephant-Bright Lights
October 24, 2018Hi there! Today I’m sharing this project featuring the Bright Lights stamp set over on the Mama Elephant blog.
To begin I stamped a couple of adorable reindeer images from Reindeer Games along with a strand of lights from Bright Lights. I maked off the reindeer with post-its and blended Distress Oxide inks in Worn Lipstick, Festive Berries & Squeezed Lemonade onto bristol paper.
After blending I flicked some water as well as Bubble Gum & Sunshine Liquid Watercolors. I removed the masks and colored the reindeer with Copics.
I stamped each of the light bulbs with Mama Elephant pigment inks and then added glossy accents to make them shine. I stamped the sentiment from Bright Lights and took a white gel pen to fill in the outlined letters.
You see that reindeer winking? That’s me winking at you:) Have a fantastic day♥

MFT-Sweet Holiday Penguins & Festive Flamingos
October 23, 2018Hi there! Today I have a couple of projects to share featuring some of the adorable new sets by My Favorite Things: Festive Flamingos & Sweet Holiday Penguins.
I was giddy when I saw that Stacey Yacula had designed a set for My Favorite Things. I love these festive penguin images. For the background I blended Salty Ocean & Tumbled Glass. I created a frame for the images using the Stitched Rectangles.
This next Tag features the Festive Flamingos. For the background I blended more Oxide inks onto Bristol using the Sun Ray Stencil and then flicked on some Aquamarine Liquid Watercolor. I used the Scallop Cross-Stitch Tag die. All of the images were colored with Copics with some glossy accents added to the strand of Christmas lights.

Mama Elephant-Happy New Year Wishes
October 22, 2018Hi there! Today I’m back with Mama Elephant highlighting the Happy New Year Wishes stamp set.
To begin I embossed the large scripty sentiment from Happy New Year Wishes in gold onto Scarlet Jewel cardstock. Then I stamped the sentiment again over the gold embossing, but slightly offset for a shadow effect using Merlot ink.
I die cut the sentiment using a large Nested Circle die. I die cut two larger solid circles using Raspberry Fizz & Hibiscus Burst cardstock. I embossed a coordinating sentiment in white onto black cardstock and layered the sentiment strip over a strip of gold cardstock.

Mama Elephant-Let’s Go Caroling
October 19, 2018Hello! I’m back with Mama Elephant highlighting Let’s Go Caroling.
For the background I blended Festive Berries, Aged Mahogany, Tumbled Glass & Blueprint Sketch Oxide inks onto Neenah Solar White cardstock followed by some flicks of water.
I colored the adorable images from Let’s Go Caroling with Copics and used the coordinating dies to cut them out and pop them up onto the ink blended background. I added a few Christmas Magic sequins to finish it off.

Papertrey Ink-Potbellies
October 16, 2018Hi there! Just popping in to share a few adorable Potbellies from Papertrey Inks latest October release.
How fun are these? I made them into shape cards using the Potbellies dies. They are surprisingly easy to put together.
I embossed sentiments on the Penguin & Reindeer Potbelly using the Potbelly stamp set.
The X-Large Clear Bubbles are so fun to fill with whatever surprise you can fit into it! Of course I filled mine with M&Ms for lots of color & well, chocolate fills the cracks of the heart:)
