Rustic Christmas wishes

Hello. Playing in this weeks sketch challenge from The Paper Players.


I turned the sketch sideways. I had to put the sentiment on the opposite side because of his scarf.

Deer is from Simon Says Stamp as is the Christmas wishes sentiment. Deer is cut out using Neenah solar white and then colored with Copic's. Added some clear distress dry glitter to his antlers.

Plaid designer paper is from Carta Bella. Kraft, black and pure poppy cardstock is from PTI.

Thanks for stopping by!

CAS Holiday Cheer

Hi there! Playing in the Wednesday SSS challenge of Food and/or drink.


I kept this really clean and simple. Stamps and dies from Hero Arts. I used PTI's pure poppy dye ink to stamp the body of the cup several times. Colored the whipped topping with C1 and C00 Copic's. Holly is stamped in pine green ink from Hero Arts and the berries are done using Fabrika Decoru.

I used some fun foam to make the cup stand out on the card.  Planning on putting a Starbucks gift card on the inside!

Celebrate the season

Hello. Playing in the challenge over at Sunday Stamps. It's a sketch this time around and this is what I did with it.



I used the window die from Simon Says Stamp to cut out the squares. Added the three snowflake dies from Concord & 9th (included in the build a tree die), which I cut out of glitter paper. That was a chore! The glitter paper is really hard to cut!

Sentiment is from Hero Arts which I heat embossed in silver. The card base is a dark navy blue.

I love the look of this, very clean and simple! Happy Thanksgiving.

Let in snow

It’s time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week is our ever popular Anything goes challenge.


I used the snowflakes stamps and stamped them randomly in Hero Arts navy ink on the top 3/4 of the white card panel. Added the sentiment and then tied some silver ribbon at the bottom. Attached this onto a Navy card base and called it good to go!

Cozy Christmas

Hey everyone! Decided to put something together for The Paper Players warm and cozy challenge this week. I was inspired by the picture on their blog (see below).


It turns out that I have three different mitten stamp and die sets in my collection. Funny how we collect multiples of our craft supplies, without really knowing it until your looking for something specific!

The mitten dies are from Stampin Up! I used a snowflake die from My Favorite Things to cut out the middle of the mitten. The kraft cardstock is cut with a cover die called snowy scene from Memory Box. Sentiment is from Hero Arts.  I did spritz the kraft cardstock with some sparkle and diluted white picked fence spray. In real life it's pretty cool looking.

Thanks for stopping by. For those of you in the US, Happy Thanksgiving!

Inspiration photo challenge

It’s time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week we were challenged to use the photo below as inspiration.






I used the colors to create my card this time around. In real life this is real sparkly. Oxide inks used to color the back ground. I stamped the flower background and heat set it using clear embossing powder. 


So, what are you waiting for?!
