From Our Home to Yours

November 19, 2020

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a colorful project that could be fun for the holidays, but also all year round.

SSS-Neighboorhood die, CZ Good Cheer

I used the Neighborhood die Simon Says Stamp with stripes of solid colored cardstock for a colorful background. You know how I love to strip it up:) You could do this in so many color variations.

For the sentiment I used the CZ Good Cheer stamp set embossing it in white onto black and used a sentiment label die to cut it out. I popped the entire panel onto a Fog base.

Hi there! Today I’m sharing these two projects over on the My Favorite Things YouTube channel featuring the I Really Miss You Die-namics. I created two cards with one ink blended panel.

Case Me a Christmas Card

November 11, 2020

Hi there! Today I’m joining my crafty friend, Michelle, for her Case Me a Christmas Card Challenge.

SSS-CZ Chunky Trees & Holly, CZ Joy, CZ Good Cheer

My card above was inspired or “CASEd” by Michelle’s below. I mimicked her diagonal stripes using some Concord & 9th cardstock. I also kept with her placement of the sentiment & holly, but I did change the orientation. I’m a rebel like that:)

For my card I used the CZ Joy die along with the CZ Chunky Trees & Holly die set.

I added a coordinating embossed sentiment from the CZ Good Cheer stamp set.
