Loads of Christmas

Here is another card my daughter and I worked on this weekend It uses Loads of Love. We started with a close to cocoa base. I then CBd then bashful blue layer iwith the snowflakes folder. Then another close to cocoa layer, to which my daughter added some dazzling diamonds. Then a piece of frosty days DSP through a nestie. We then ran a whisper white layer ran through the swiss dots folder. We cut the truck from frosty days as well and added a Kiwi kiss tree. I "tied mine down" with hemp, my daughter didn't, she likes to be dangerous!!! Finally I added some choc. grosgrain. She opted not to as she was on to the next card at that point:)


I believe I'll have a giant announcement tomorrow, so be sure to check back!! it's super exciting!!!

Cold Play Christmas

Hi Everyone and Happy Monday!! Can you believe it's the middle of November already?? WOW! I was lucky enough to have some time this weekend to stamp some Christmas cards with some friends and my daughter while my husband took care of the little one. I'm so close to finishing my cards!! Of course next is writing and mailing etc...
This one uses mostly retired SU products including the set cold play which I think is so cute, dashing DSP and cute converse. I used the same layout I used for a card last week, it was inspired from a layout on the Whiff of Joy challenge blog. The snowman is covered in chunky glitter and looks so sparkly! The real red cardstock is embossed with the CB snowflakes folder. It also qualifies for Cute Card Thursday's red and green challenge! I'll post some of my daughter's cards tomorrow!

Sketch Something Friday!!

Happy Friday All!! That means another Stamp Something Challenge! And this week we are welcoming Queen Kat Designs as our host and sponsor. Here is the fabulous sketch we worked with this week, fun huh?? QKD is celebrating their 2nd anniversary so pop on over to see how they are celebrating!!

Here is my sample.

I used the retired SU set Santa post. When this set came out I HAD to have it. Then once I had it, I had no idea what to do with it!! So there it sat, but I couldn't get rid of it. It's just too cute! So finally I had a sketch that worked perfectly and here we are! I started mounting my piece of DSP for holiday thyme on some bravo burgundy CS and it looked so strange. I then realized it was cranberry crisp, one of the first in colors. Luckily I had 1 sheet left and I ran it through my CB. I also used cranberry crisp stitched ribbon, artichoke grosgrain and hemp. The sentiment is from cute converse, stamped on half of the punch out from the word window punch. The base is kraft. Be sure to check out the rest of the samples from the QKD DT and the Stamp Something DT over at Stamp Something.

Finally, check out our Stamp Something group over on Papercraft Planet and join us over there for fun all week. OK I think that's it!!

Super quick post!

Just did this card for unity hip hop(something clear) over on SCS and for the papertake weekly sketch challenge. But I should be making dinner, or at least a Christmas card, oh well!! Sorry for the dark picture, it gets dark so early now, it really throws off my stamping!!

Christmas Card Crunch!

So I am in full Christmas card mode!! I have one standard card that I am going to do for most people. But I always like to have a couple different cards for my stamper friends and people I know really enjoy "snazzy" cards. Here is one I made today. I combined 2 challenges for this card. The sketch is from Friday sketchers and the theme of "Boy Christmas" is from the Whiff of Joy Challenge Blog. For the WOJ challenge we were not allowed to use blue. So I chose bravo burgundy and always artichoke. The DSP is retired SU. The sentiment is from the SU hostess set, best yet. I colored Charlie using my water color wonder crayons and an aquapainter. There still time to enter Stamp Something's challenge this week, so head on over if you haven't yet.

Also Elaine and Heather both have some super generous blog candy on their blogs(and some amazing cards too!!)!

Whiff of winter

Well it's a bit chilly here today so I decided to do a wintery card for this week's Whiff of Joy Challenge.

I used SU's frosty days DSP along with close to cocoa, kiwi kiss, tangerine tango and shimmery white cardstock. I ran a piece of kiwi through my CB using the snowflakes folder. The sentiment is from fancy flexible phrases and the snowflake is from the SU set, snow burst. I finally added some silver brads and kiwi strioed ribbon.

Single Layer Cards

Happy Friday!!

The challenge of the day over on Stamp Something is to make a single layer card!! Seems easy enough!! I always want to throw an extra layer on though so it was definitely a challenge!! I used whisper white card stock and ran the center of the card through my CB using the snowflakes folder. I then sponged some baja ink lightly over the snowflakes. I then rubbed the snowflakes with versamark and used iridescent ice EP. I sponged baja all along the edges as well. I added some ribbon and a hat pin and the noel sentiment from many merry messages. And done!

There was also a single layer challenge last night at unity's hip hop on SCS. SO I inked up the lipstick in very vanilla craft ink, covered with clear EP and embossed. I scored a line using my scor-pal 1 in from the top and bottom. I used pomegranate ribbon in the top inch and CB swirls in the bottom. Finally I added assorted rhinestone brads to the flower centers.

Pop on over to stamp something to see what the rest of the DT did and to enter to win a t-shirt and 3 stamp sets in our 6month anniversary blowout candy!
