Challenge Me a Christmas Card

November 23, 2019

Hi there! Today I’m joining my lovely friend, Michelle, for her Christmas card challenge. She contacted me a while ago and asked me to pick the product, theme or technique for our challenge. I said, “How about a rainbow emboss resist Christmas card?” She said, “I was hoping you’d say rainbow”:) So here is what I came up with.

SSS-Leaves & Berries Background, Merry Frame, Marie Snowflake

For the background I embossed the Leaves & Berries background stamp in clear onto white cardstock. Using Pinkfresh Studio inks I blended some subtle and more vibrant colors onto the panel.

For the sentiment I used the Merry Frame die with Tim Holtz Metallic Rose Gold cardstock. I layered it over a snowflake die cut using the Marie Snowflake die. I added a simple coordinating sentiment from the Sentiment Strips Christmas pack. I die cut the sentiment using one of the Sentiment Label dies.

Happy Halloween

October 31, 2019

Hi there & Happy Halloween! Thought I’d have some fun and make some costumes for these cute Picture Book animals. This is how our family rolls for Halloween. You go downstairs and rummage up a costume for trick or treating.

SSS-Picture Book Monkey, Elephant & Labrador, Dog & Cat Dress Up

I used the Dress up Cat & Dog set to add sunglasses, ties & bunny ears to the Picture Book Monkey, Elephant & Labrador. For the sentiment I used the CZ My Zombie Boo stamp set.

I wouldn’t necessarily say that Halloween is my “jam”, but I do like candy. I do not like to be scared, though, so bunny ears and heart sunglasses are right up my alley. Hope you have yourselves some sweet treats tonight:) Thanks so much for stopping by!

Jingle All the Way

October 10, 2019

Hi there! I’ve got a fun little jingle gnome to share with you using some of the new release products from the Cheer & Joy release by Simon Says Stamp.

SSS-Gnome, CZ Clean Line Christmas

How cute is this gnome? I think he could also pass for a cute little wizard, too, but I added a tiny little jingle bell to the tip of his hat to make him festive. I just used a mini glue dot to hold the bell. For his nose I used an E000 Copic to give it the flesh color on white cardstock.

SSS-Gnome, CZ Clean Line Christmas

I popped up the jingle gnome onto khaki cardstock and embossed a sentiment from the CZ Clean Line Christmas set. This card is tall and skinny(3.25″x6.75″) to fit the gnome better. I looked high and low, hunting for my action wobble springs. I think it would be fun to wobble the gnome so that the bell would jingle.
