Winged Greetings

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I love this sweet layered chickadee but I needed him to face in a different direction.

So I turned him over and watercolored the back side with Zigs.

The branch was colored with Ohuhu markers. The curve of the branch fits

perfectly in the open center of this embossing.

I think this is one of my favorite Christmas cards this year.

Challenges:

Double D - Wings

Deer to Me Noel

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

Last month I won the random draw at the Papertrey Ink challenge.

So I definitely wanted to join in again this month to say thank you.

I used some of my winnings to get their sample packet of cardstock and 

patterned paper in the colors they are requiring for this month's challenge.

I thought these colors would be perfect for the Deer to Me set of dies that are

favorites in my Christmas collection.

I am loving their cardstock and patterned paper.  The weight is great and their

colors are lovely!

I've die cut the deer with bubble wrap to get the nice embossing and brushed

the edges with some Honey Nut ink.

I just received the Reflections set for September and die cut the label that came

with it and embossed it with a coverplate.

The sentiment was stamped and heat embossed on a scrap of Scarlet Jewel

and fussy cut.

I always like to add something extra and so some tiny jingle bells from my stash

landed on their bows.

Challenges:

Papertrey Ink October Inspiration Challenge - See below

Jingle Belles - Animals

Bundled Snowman

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

This sweet little snowman spoke up and said he would work well for Verena's sketch this week

at Freshly Made Sketches.

Here's the sketch....

The color is an old and long ago retired In Color from Stampin' Up!

The embossed snowflakes have been patted with white ink.  The snowman's hat

and scarf were cut from the colored cardstock and the body from white.

I used some puffy stuff for his hat brim and pom-pom.  It's liquid and puffs when

you heat it.  I added some glitter around the edges too to make him look extra frosty.

Card Recipe

Stamps:  

Ink:   Whisper White

Paper:   Purely Pomegranate (ret SU), Neenah Solar White

Other:  Bundled Snowman die (SSS), Flurry of Snowflakes EF (SB), Foiled sentiment, Subtle EF (ret SU)

Enjoy!

St Nick

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

This St Nick die set has been sitting in my NBUS box for over a year.

Darlene and Diane gave me a good reason to get it out.

I raided my scrap bags for colored cardstock and cut away!

So many little pieces to put back together.  I do love a puzzle though!

I added some ink blending to all the pieces before assembling.

Since this Santa is so tall, I thought he would work great as a money holder.

I cut and folded for a Monarch size slimline card, adding an extra 1 1/2 inch

to long side.  That 1 1/2 inch is folded up to hold the money.

The Merry Christmas die he's standing on is from an old and long retired

Stampin' Up! die set.

Challenges:

Peace on Earth #122 - See mood board below

NBUS #91 - Never Before Used Schtuff

Darnell's I.D.E.A.S. - Embossing week

Blessed to Call You Friend

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

Seems like I've been posting a lot this week and thought I'd give you

a break this Friday, but....

last Friday a friend came to play and brought this stamp set for me to try.

I don't usually do well on layered stamping but I gave it a try.  By standing

and looking directly down on the Misti, I was able to line things up pretty well.

I had a few misses, but nothing I couldn't fix.

This week I got the stamping on a card so it didn't have to join the crowd

in my UFO box!

That's my Fun Friday for this week.

I'm hoping for a creative weekend.  I hope you have one too.

Card Recipe

Stamps:  Blessed Blooms (ret Grtry)

Ink:   Crushed Curry, More Mustard, Cajun Craze, Old Olive (SU)

Paper:   Neenah Solar White, Cajun Craze

Other:  Essential Stylish Ovals (SB), Pierced Blanket Cover Die (PF)

Enjoy!
