    I played with another one of my Elf clip art and some Elle’s studio Papers. I already had the frame die cut from a previous project so I decided to use it. This card went together very quickly. I do like to color images but sometimes, a cute clip art just is fun to use.

    I used one of my own sketches, if you like sketches, check out my sketch page, here:

    And once again, here’s the cute Elf Clip Art Collection

    I played along with a couple of challenges and came up with this card. Once again this cute elf is part of a clip art collection and you can see it HERE. I paired it with some older Elle’s Studio papers. The holly is from Reverse Confetti (anyone else miss them?) and the sentiment die is from Simon Says.

    Merry Gnomie

    I played along with the Inspired By Challenge again, because, well that gnome is so cute. This time I used a stamp from Unity .

    I paired it with the Hard Candy collection from Simple Stories, the colors in this are so fun aren’t they?

    To make it even more fun I mounted him on a wobbler so that it is an interactive card.

    If you like this stamp set, go grab it because it is on sale right now! (click on image for direct link)

    Inspired By… Gnomie

    The new Inspired By Challenge is up and I was inspired by the gnome which of course is quite evident from my card LOL. This cute gnome is part of a fun collection, which you can see here. I paired it with some older Elle’s Studio papers and added a bit of glitter glue to the star and some ornaments

    Come play along we would love to see how you are inspired!

    CLC December Challenge

    I am up on the CLP blog with a new challenge since it is a new month and this month the word is SPARKLE.

    I used my Lawn Fawn Die along with some Stampin Up papers to create my card. I added some glitter to the ‘whip cream’ and used glitter paper to punch out some snowflakes.

    Come on over and play along! And don’t forget about the Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge as well!

    I was inspired by the sketch over at Inspired By as well (and there’s still time to play along

  • Celebration Time

    Celebration Time

    Today I am sharing a couple of cards using some new Unity items, starting with the Clink & Celebrate set – which is so fun. It can be used for any celebration – New Years, Wedding, Birthday, Congratulations….what would you use it for? I paired them with the Clock Strikes 12 paper collection. By the way, both the stamp set and paper are on sale right now now.

    First up, I created a New Year card. I used some vellum paper to die cut some stars as I didn’t want to cover up the paper too much but I did want some dimension and fun. I topped it off with some silver dots.

    Next up using the same paper and stamp I made another New Years card with a bit different feel because I added a saying from the Snarky New Year Stamp set and of course, the pant one is perfect 😁 This time I added gold glitter stars. The Cheers is from the Heart of Christmas stamp (and die) set.

    All of the Unity Items are on sale right now so be sure to go grab them! (Just click on the image for direct link)

    I know it is early but do you have New Year plans?

    I played along using the whimsical vibes, trees and the sketch over at Inspired By using the Hard Candy collection from Simple Stories. The tree is mounted on foam squares.

  • Hello Winter

    Hello Winter

    I was folding laundry and ended up putting my hoodies in these colors together in a pile and I thought, I like that color combo so I went and created a card inspired by it. I used the Concord & 9th Sweater Season Dies.

    The Hello sentiment is from Stampin Up and the sentiment die is from Honey Bee Stamps.

    Would you wear these colors together?

  • Inspired By Christmas Trees

    Inspired By Christmas Trees

    The new Inspired By Challenge is up and I was inspired by the trees, colors and theme. The papers and branch element is from SU and I paired it with a stamp and die from Simon Says. I mounted the ornament on foam squares.

    We would love to see how you are inspired! Come and play along with us!

  • Reindeer Tags

    Reindeer Tags

    I made a few tags today. I save my scraps of Christmas papers and such in organized bins (see last picture). Sometimes I die cut a bunch of various tag shapes out of it and other times I just leave it as scraps.

    Because I was going to use these cute images from Unity Stamp Co I dug out a bunch of red and green scraps. I ended up using mostly Elle’s Studio Papers

    I then just play around until I find a layout I like and put it all down. Always top with snowflakes, they’re the finishing touch haha.

    I organize my other scraps a different way (will share another time) but this is how I organize my Christmas paper scraps/bits

    Do you save small scraps? How do you organize them?

    Here is the stamp set I used, he is so cute and on SALE right now!
