Ice skating snowman

Hello. Playing in the theme challenge of Frosty the snowman over at The Paper Players today.

The stamp is from Whipper Snapper Designs. I stamped him in versafine and heat embossed it in clear embossing powder so that I could color using Copic's.

I used Seahawk colors on him and found some matching Christmas papers in my stash that went with it. I just cut the strips out of the striped paper to create the flags on the side. Added a matching snowflake and found some tiny self adhesive pearls to add to the centers of the snowflakes on the designer paper.

Thanks for stopping by!

Coffee solves everything

Hello. Playing in thee Fall Coffee Lovers Bloghop.

Stamps are from SugarPea Designs.

Stamped the cup and lid onto rustic cream cardstock and then fussy cut it out. Sentiment is also stamped onto the same cardstock.

Designer paper is from an old fall leaf K&Company paper pack. I've had it in my stash forever and hoard it and use is sparingly. Burlap paper used in the background is from DCWV and I fancy cut the side that is showing.

That's it for now. Thanks for stopping in.

But first,

Coffee.

Hi everyone. Here is my card for Addicted to CAS, which I paired the the sketch from Paper Play.

I used a lot of different stamps on this one.

Mugs are from Paper Smooches, sentiment is from Lil' Inkers, white heart and flowers are from Verve and the black flower is from Studio G.

Designer paper is from K & Company. It's from a very old 12 x 12 paper pack that I still had stuffed in my stash.

The coffee cups in the middle are colored with Copics.

Thanks for stopping by.

Snowflakes

Hi everyone. Here is my take on the The Paper Players sketch challenge this week.

I started with some white cardstock and embossed it with one of the many snowflake embossing folders I own. Cut it in thirds and attached it to a dark navy card base.

The blue designer paper is from K&Company. The snowflake in the circle is puffed up on the DP as is the white swirls.

I cut the fishtail banner out using the same DP and MFT dies, then stamped the sentiment. The sentiment is new from Paper Smooches.

Finally, the snowflake is cut from a die using peel and stick fun foam. This little bit of thickness gives it a bit more definition, and it's easy to get it to stick. I did spritz it with some frost shimmer from Smooch Spray. I know it's a bit difficult to see in the picture, but IRL it looks pretty.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your week!

Little green monster

OK, it's a two post day for me! The first card I had sitting waiting to post, this one I just completed.

I followed this weeks Freshly Made Sketch and went with a Halloween theme.

The little green monster is from Paper Smooches. He's colored with Copic markers and then cut out using the circle stitches die from Lil' Inkers. Since the stitched die is a little larger than nesties, it allowed me to add a tiny green layer in between the black.

The Boo! sentiment is an old one from the former Angel Company. Designer paper is from K&Company. Pretty Pink Posh border scalloped border die used on the lime green cardstock.

Thanks for stopping by!

Snowmen fall

Hi everyone! I really liked the possibilities in the Sweet Sunday Sketch this time around. Here is what I did with it!

This sketch just said shaker card to me. I got out several sizes of circle nestabilities and cut out the base, the acetate and the outline.

Using one of the snowflakes from the Snowflake Medley from PTI, I stamped it in light blue and then used some peacock embossing powder from Judikins to give them some sparkle. Which of course you can't see in the picture. The snow in between the acetate and the white base is Epsom salt.

Sentiment and the tiny snowflake are from the former There She Goes snowman sentiment mini set.

Navy cardstock is from Bazzill and the designer paper is from K&Company.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

Anniversary wishes

Greetings everyone! Here is my entry for three challenges today. 

The sketch is from Clean and Simple #281. Simon Says Stamps Wednesday challenge was for your project to be wedding/anniversary based and Less is more was all about using Metal.

Designer paper is from K&Company. I cut out the flowers using the flower die from Spellbinders. Then I sponged some lavender ink from Colorbox all over the edges. I added yellow metal brads for the center of the flower and then glued them down to the card.

Sentiment is from Papertrey, Ink. and that wonderful blueberry cardstock is from Bazzill. Ivory satin ribbon from my stash used behind the sentiment panel. 

At the last minute I decided to add some leaves using the leaf punch from MS crafts.

Hope you all had a great weekend and thanks for popping in!

Have you stopped believing?

Hi everyone! How about a little Christmas humor? I sent these two cards out to friends who I know will get a big chuckle out them! Same design on the front, just changed up the inside of the card!

Both pairs of underwear and sentiment are digi's from Whimsie Doodles. Both are colored with Copic's. Designer paper is from K&Company.

I don't know about you, but when I was young and still believing in Santa, I still got underwear!!!  So, really it's not about believing at all, but a Mother's way of killing two birds with one stone! YKWIM?

Thanks for stopping by! 

Mojo Monday #322 - Rustic

Hi there! I had a few minutes free yesterday and got to play around with this weeks Mojo Monday sketch challenge. 

Yep, I turned it on it's side. Tree stamp and die are from Verve. I used green cardstock from Bazzill and to give them a bit of depth, I added color using Copic markers. All are popped up using foam tape, but the center one is a bit higher than the back two to give it more dimension.

Designer paper is from K&Company and the branch stamp in the back is from Great Impressions. Twine and a green button from American Crafts finish this off.

This card will go to one of the guys on my Christmas card list this year! ;-)

Thanks for stopping by!

Sparkle

Hello everyone! I had an opportunity to put together this card for two challenges today. It was great to relax a bit with some craftiness after a busy work week.

Sentiment stamp is from My Favorite Things and stamped in Gypsy Blue from Fresh Ink. I took my stardust pen and added a bit of sparkle to the swirl in the sentiment. You might need to click on the picture to see it tho!

Designer paper is from K&Company. The blue shimmer paper is from Hot Off The Press which I used to layer the bottom banner and the sentiment panel. Ribbon is colored with a smokey blue Copic to match. Dies from MFT.

I have 8 rhinestones on this card to co-inside with the CAS-ual Friday create with 8 challenge. The sketch is from this weeks Simon Says Stamp challenge, which I turned sideways.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!
