  • Wintry Hello

    Wintry Hello

    Playing along with the Inspired By challenge and the theme challenge over at Coffee Lovers Papercrafters which is Sweater. I used the Perfect Girl Angiegirl paired with Talking Out Loud (on sale so grab it, such a fun and versatile stamp set) and the It’s a Mug Hug. I paper pieced her sweater with a scrap piece. I used to paper piece all of the time and haven’t done it for a while – you just may see more…. 😉 The Snowflake paper is also from Unity it is the Snowy Winter Greetings.

    Here are the links to the stamp sets I used:

  • Wintry, Hello

    Wintry, Hello

    Playing along with the Inspired By Challenge today once again. This time using an image from Angie Blom Designs.(on sale right now) This time I went with the theme and the blues.

    I embossed the gray panel with a snowflake pattern

    Have you played along yet?

  • Sending Warm Wishes

    Sending Warm Wishes

    I am back again with another card for the Inspired By Challenge (and I am sure it won’t be the last, I have several ideas!). For this one I was inspired by the knitting to use my new Concord & 9th Knitting Together Die Set and I loosely followed the sketch. One of my friends is a knitter and I might use this die to create a set of cards for her!

    I embossed the white panel with my sweater knit embossing folder. The sending die is from CTMH and the Warm Wishes stamp set is from the CZ Design Clear Stamps Warmest Wishes stamp set from Simon Says Stamp – love this set!

    Have you linked up at Inspired By yet? I am also playing along again in the Simon Says Challenge – New

  • Cozy Hello

    Cozy Hello

    I played along with a few challenges because I just got this Unity Snowmie stamp and I was excited to ink him up. Love how big he is. I used some scraps of my Simple Stories papers. I embossed the white background to add some interest but still keep it CAS. The sentiment is from the Hello Warm Fuzzies Whit Kit (on sale so grab it, because those snowmen and penguins in the kit are super cute!)

    I am playing along with the CAS on Friday challenge which is Snowman. I combined it with the sketch from Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge and the Simon Says Challenge – use something new

  • You Will Kill It

    You Will Kill It

    I am back with another JUGS challenge and this week is word week – the word is Encouragement. I used this fun image from Angie Blom Designs. I put one of the sentiments on her tank top, which was encouraging I thought.

    Then I decided to add this sentiment from a Simon Says stamp set. I cut it apart and added to the lined paper, kind of a notebook type of feel with the paper clip, staples and twine

    The paper is from The Stamp Market

  • Ski Pass

    Ski Pass

    The new Inspired By Challenge is up and I was inspired by the colors and winter theme. I used a new image from Angie Blom Designs along with some papers from Simple Stories. I had the die cut frame laying on my desk for a previous project so I incorporated it and added a bit of glitter to it. I was going for the look of walking around a winter ski village (here it would be Whistler, which is on my bucket list one day to spend a weekend there). To add even more detail to the card I embossed the white cardstock and then finished off the card with some snowflakes.

    Now here are the Inspired By images, we would love for you to play along!

  • Big Squeeze

    Big Squeeze

    Today I am sharing a card that could be used for someone who just needs a hug. Wouldn’t you love to receive a little happy mail, when you’re feeling down?

    I used the Wee Little Love Courier from Unity and paired it with my Sweet Valentine Wishes collection available in my ETSY shop.

    I just love this cute little guy, what about you? If so, be sure to grab him as it is on sale right now.

  • Whatever Keeps You Warm

    Whatever Keeps You Warm

    I am up on the Coffee Loving Papercrafters blog today and since it is a new month there’s a new theme challenge happening. This month the theme is Sweater. I knew thisGretchen Girl Stamp would work perfectly for this challenge and I have used a sentiment from Warm & Cozy Season

    I used a sweater embossing folder to emboss the main card base, though it is a little hard to tell.

    Check out the stamps and paper here (click on images)

    Now come on over to the Coffee Loving Papercrafters blog and play along

  • Hello Warm Fuzzies Trio

    Hello Warm Fuzzies Trio

    When I first saw these cuties in the newest Whit Kit – Hello Warm Fuzzies by Unity I couldn’t wait to play with them. They are just so cute! I paired them with this fun paper set called Studio Light Hello Winter Friendz Paper Pad. Of course I was inspired by the snowmen once again from Inspired By.

    I basically used only 3 of the pattern papers to create these cards. For the first one I cut some scraps of the white cardstock and layered to look like snow and added some stitching. The houses were fussy cut and the snowman is mounted on foam squares. The die on all 3 is from CTMH

    I then used a couple of the paper pieces for my second card, added some snowflakes, stitching and a bow and it was done.

    Finally with the small pieces that were left I created the final card using one of the penguins from the set. Always some stitching, snowflakes and image on foam squares.

    This cute set is available on its own or as a bundle in the Whit Kit. Of course it is on sale right now so be sure to grab it!

    Also playing along with some challenges

First up, this cutie, which I thought was fitting for the start of a new year. We have turned the page on last year, and starting all fresh, I for one am looking forward to this year and what things I can accomplish!

    I have used the You are My Sunshine collection from Echo Park. I love the bright happy colors and patterns in this collection. I imagined her sitting in a garden full of flowers on a sunny spring day.

    I coloured her with copics, pieced together some papers, stitched added a ribbon and voila, all done.

    Curious, are you a reader? What books do you like to read?
