Christmas Stocking Bag


I made this bag for a special guest at a class this week. 
One of friend brought her daughter to class and I wanted a special
Christmas bag for her. I used the Be Merry DSP to cut the stocking and pieces.
I cut gold bells and the holly pieces with the same dies called
Trim Your Stocking framelits dies.

Hello Blended Florals


Floral Statements have it all!  One stamp and you are pretty much done
with the floral and the sentiment all in one!  I used my Stampin Blends to 
color the flowers and leaves-Pink Pirouette, Old Olive and Daffodil Delight.
I stamped first in Memento Tuxedo Black on thick Whisper White.
After cutting it out with the Oval die, I blended the flowers 
and added some enamel dots in Pink Pirouette.
I layered the oval on a piece of Pink embossed 
with the Layered Leaves emboss folder then on a Pink base.

Hope you have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by!

 and punched with the matching Everyday punch.
I placed it on the bag with a gold clip.

The Mouse King, Oh My!

Sweet Blended Nutcracker


This is another image I colored with my Stampin Blends markers.
I colored with Cherry Cobbler, Smoky Slate, Daffodil Delight, and Ivory.
I enjoyed coloring the nutcracker here from the Sugarplum Dreams set
in red and then I did it again in blue which I will post at a later date.
I already had this pieces cut and left over from a card class so I only 
had to cut the image with a oval and layer with a Real Red scallop oval.

Happy Thanksgiving and GDP114 Hot Chocolate X 6






First, A Happy Thanksgiving to all!
We go out to eat after watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade!
So it will be a easy day until about 6 pm when I concentrate 
on a little online shopping!


For the card:
I had my Hug in a Mug set out from yesterday's card
I just had to use it today. I stamped the mugs in Early Espresso six times
and punch with the 1 1/4" sq punch.  I stamped the inside with Soft Suede
and added the marshmallows in Crumb Cake ink.  I just had to add
a Real Red candy cane to one of them!
I layered them on a piece of Real Red stamped with a sentiment
from the same set. Some Wood Textures DSP was calling and I finished it 
off with some white twine and a bow.
I hope you can play with the sketch challenge over at 
global-design-project.com this week.

PP371 Sending Warm Thoughts




I had colored the cup and lid from Merry Cafe a little over a week ago
when I stamped a bunch of images and sat down with my new 
Stampin Blends markers.  I colored the cup with 
the Crumb Cake markers and the lid with Cherry Cobbler.
I added them to this layout as I like the red and the thought 
of hot cocoa plus some snowflakes would be great inspiration.
The sentiment is from the Hug In A Mug set, the snowflakes plus the "steam"
are dies from Swirly Snowflakes and the DSP is Quilted Christmas.
Hope you can play along too over at thepaperplayers.blogspot.com

Two For One Birthday Cards!



I have two cards for you today!
I was asked to make these for a friend.

Card One: I stamped this card with the High Tide set.
I pulled my classic colors-Crumb Cake, Island Indigo and Cherry Cobbler.
These colors are prefect for this set!
I did used the sentiment from Guy Greetings to finish it off.

Card Two: I used the Balloon Celebration set with a Pool Party background.
I stamped the clouds in white craft ink but they do not show up as 
well in the photo here.
I stamped the balloons in Calypso Coral and Daffodil Delight.
I used Memento Tuxedo Black for the strings and the sentiment
I grabbed from Birthday Banners stamp set.
I used the balloon punch and popped them up.
I finished it off with some enamel shapes. 

I hope you have a doubly blessed day!

A Red Door Merry Christmas



Love red doors! I colored this one a few weeks ago 
when I received my new Stampin' Blends markers.
It was colored with Cherry Cobbler.I used Old Olive kind of dark 
on the greenery with more Cherry for the berries.
I used Smoky Slate for the pot so I 
cut a Smoky Slate mat for my sentiment.
I layered them all on a piece of 
Wood Textures DSP and then a piece of 
thick Whisper White for the base.
I did add a little So Saffron card stock behind the window
in the door for a light on look.
I hope you have a blessed day and thanks for stopping by!

FMS313 Snowflake Blessings




When I saw this sketch, I envisioned snowflakes. Since I wanted my 
die cut snowflakes white, I used Soft Sky for a background and stamped
in that same color for the snowflakes in the Colorful Season set.
I used the dies from Seasonal Layers with thick Whisper White for my cut snowflakes.
I decided to use Night of Navy and a sentiment from the same stamp set
in the center.  Some rhinestones for bling finished it off. 
I hope you can play along over at freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com

FabFri125 Merry Christmas Wishes




Great sketch over at fabfridaystampinchallenge.blogspot.com
I turned it and layered the plaid from Christmas Around the World DSP
and added the thin 1/8" Real Red ribbon to make the four "boxes".
I stamped the deer from Santa's Sleigh a few weeks ago and colored it 
with the Stampin' Blends markers.  I used Crumb Cake to color the deer 
with a little Ivory on the hooves and Cherry Cobbler to color the bow. 
I cut them out with the matching dies from Santa's Sleigh thinlits dies.
I layered him on a Whisper White oval and a black scallop oval.
The sentiment is from the same set
 stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black on Real Red.
Kind of a sharp looking card!

tinsel trim in Real Red around it.

to add on top.
I then stamped the lovely thinking of you sentiment
 from the matching set called Colorful Seasons in Soft Sky.

'Tis The Season


I really wanted to use this set for this sentiment! 
It is a two step with the words and the detailed inside.
I stamped the first in Memento Tuxedo Black and the inside sentiment
 in Cherry Cobbler. I stamped the deer in Cherry on the Merry Music DSP
for Jingle Bells (that is the song on the sheet).
I layered it on a piece of Basic Black card stock.
I also layered a silver foil snowflake behind. Love the texture 
with the Cable Knit 3D emboss folder. I layered it all on white and then a
Basic Black base.
For more bling, some silver sequins to finish this fifth card for November 
card classes off!   

Hope you have a amazing day and thanks for stopping by!

Purple Swirly Snowflakes


I just had to use purple on this fourth card for November card classes.
I grabbed Elegant Eggplant and white for card stock but did add some 
silver with the 1/8' ribbon and bow plus a Wisteria Wonder snowflake.
I cut the snowflake border with the Swirly Snowflakes thinlits dies and layered
some eggplant card stock over and then more white for the sentiment
 plus snowflake from Snowflake Sentiments set. 
I added some more bling with a rhinestone in the middle of the snowflake.
Simple and clean card for you!

Season Like Christmas



I did a little casing from Leanne's tree card over at 
literallymyjoy.com for my third class card.
I used the holly emboss folder with Always Artichoke for the background.
I layered it on a piece of Old Olive and a Sahara Sand base. 
I then stamped on a piece of Sahara Sand and layered it on more Old Olive.
I stamped the tree in both Old Olive
 and Always Artichoke and the trunk in Soft Suede.
I then stamped the snow in VersaMark ink and used the White
emboss powder to heat emboss it along with the 
snow on the ground. I finished it up
with some 3/8" mini chevron ribbon in Old Olive.
A sweet sentiment inside would finish off the card.

Hope you have a wonderful Sunday and thanks for stopping by!

Joy To The World


I did another card like this a few weeks back
 and thought it would be great for my second card for November card classes.
I love the sentiment which was why I bought this set!
I started with cutting the oval in the Whisper White front 
and then layering a piece of Pool Party colored snow print
 from the Christmas Around the World DSP.
I stamped the santa/sleigh in Basic Gray as well as the sentiment and little stars.
I cut the houses from silver foil from the matching dies called 
Hometown Greetings edgelits dies. I layered it all on a piece 
of Thick Whisper White.

Seasonal Lantern For Christmas


I wish I could take credit for designing this cute card 
with the Seasonal Lantern stamp set but 
I cased right out of my Stampin' Success magazine for SU! demos. 
This is the first card for November Christmas card classes.
I love the texture from the Quilt Top emboss folder with the white.
I also love the plaid from Christmas Around The World DSP. 
Cute sprigs poking from the side and a little burlap ribbon for more texture
behind makes it a lovely card. One of my guest for class wants 
to use the Happy Hanukkah sentiment for a friend and it will work great with 
this layout.
I stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black and two stepped for the colors
like crumb Cake on the lantern and Garden Green on the candle and leaves.
I did grab the bow die from Christmas Stockings thinlits dies and cut in Real Red.
All layered on a Crumb Cake base to finish up.
Hope you have a blessed day and thanks for stopping by!

Doggy Treats For Christmas!


A cute doggy treat bag for InkBig Design Team 
with the Ready For Christmas set.  I stamped the tag
with the sentiment in Real Red on a Whisper White oval.
I layered a Basic Black scallop oval behind and added some black rhinestones. 
I tied the bag full of dog treats that my baby Roxy loves 
 with the 7/8" black and white striped ribbon and some Real Red
mini tinsel trim.  It was just calling for that cute weinner dg 
to show up!
I stamped him in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored him with

PP369 Christmas Cheer!



I decided I wanted to do something different 
with pines for this card when I saw the challenge.
I took the little pine branch from Merry Patterns and stamped it
in Garden Green around the white card stock
but then grabbed the Lemon Lime Twist and stamped those in between
to give a shadow look and fill in. I got my colors from the 
Quilted Christmas DSP after deciding the red plaid was going somewhere on the card.
I stamped the cup from Merry Cafe and the lid in Garden Greenink on Real red and 
Whisper White. I used the same ink to stamp into the middle cup cozy on 
Lemon Lime Twist card stock.
  All was cut with the matching Coffee Cups framelits dies.
I added some leaves to the cup in Garden Green and the sentiments are stamped 
in Real Red.
I like how it looked like a center piece when I placed the cup on it.

Just Add Ink 384 Thank You Daisy!




I love the colors in the inspirational photo!
I pulled out So Saffron, Bermuda Bay and Night of Navy.
I used a piece of watercolor paper to do a quick wash 
of Navy and Bay for a background.
I stamped the flower from Daisy Delight with So Saffron on the same color 
card stock twice and punched them out with the matching Daisy punch.
I colored a little with the light Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends marker
to shade in the center portion of the leaves.
I added a 1/2" circle of Bermuda Bay card stock to the center with a 
glitter enamel dot. 
I layered the water color paper onto a piece of So Saffron
card stock which I stamped the sentiments in Night of Navy.
All that was layered onto a of Bermuda Bay card base.

TTTC022 Just For You!





I decided to go with bottom across for a cool box!
I used the 7/8" striped black and white ribbon,
Black on the bow, and the paper under the top one and I heat embossed
the tag in white on a Old Olive card stock with Merry Little Labels set.
I punched the tag out with the Everyday Label punch and tied it with
some black and white baker's twine.
For the top DSP, I used the Merry Little Christmas DSP which is
white with the black trees. I sponge rolled Old Olive ink over it to
make it green.  The bottom paper is the same DSP in another print.
The box is the cute pizza box which I left white.
I could use this dressed up box for any occasion!

I love the striped stocking in Real Red. I stamped them in Basic Gray and 
colored them with the Real red marker for the InkBig Design Team.

called Christmas Staircase thinlits. I layered them 
on the stairs I stamped from Ready For Christmas in Basic Gray
 and then colored the rails in Smoky Slate.
I stamped two sentiments from the set that work together for a really cute card.
Just a little rhinestones on the garland for bling to finish it up!

FMS311 Merry Music Tree



I have been hoarding the plaid paper from the Merry Little Christmas DSP.
I decided I needed to use it soon and when I saw this sketch,
I knew what I was going to do right away.
I layered the plaid on a Basic Black base.
I stamped the tree from Season Like Christmas on a piece of the 
Merry Music DSP.  I liked it with the music going up and down.
I stamped the Tree in Old Olive and the trunk in Memento Tuxedo Black.
I stamped the sentiment from the set on a piece of Old Olive 
and cut it out with the wood looking die in the Mini Treat Bag framelits dies.
I will send this to a male relative for Christmas so I do not really add anything else.

Good Tidings


I made this card at WCMD 2017 in Atlanta.  
It was one of the make and takes we did at 
the World Card Making  Day event last month in Atlanta.
It used  Good Tidings set stamped in Archival Basic Black over the top of 
a baby wipe technique.  I used three different greens-Old Olive,
Emerald Envy and Lemon Lime Twist.  
I stamped the wipe in each ink and applied to the card stock.
 I went a little heavy on mine but really like the effect.
When I came home, I attached it along with some of the 
black vintage crochet trim. I placed some gold sequins for some bling.
Hope you are inspired...have a great week!

Merry Monday 263 Hot Chocolate!



I did not have my eye on this set but it was a gift 
at the WCMD 2017 event I attended. 
I really like playing with it and so when I saw the photo for
Merry Monday I decided to play some more with the 
hot chocolate!  Hot Chocolate or cocoa is the 
only beverage I drink hot.
I love marshmallows in it also! I thin the little tree is so 
cute so I had to add it to the mug!
All the images are from the set Hug in a Mug.
I stamped them in Chocolate Chip, Garden Green or Real Red 
on a Whisper White Square. I layered it on a Real Red scallop square.
I grabbed my Wooden Textures DSP and added the wood for a the background
 along with a Real Red gingham print from Quilted Christmas DSP.
I added some white baker's twine to finish it off.
Hope you can head over to play at
