    Making Christmas Magical

    Time for another Christmas card! For this one I have used the Holiday Hustle stamp set from Unity (she’s on sale this month!) Raise your hand if you can relate to this sentiment! I absolutely love Christmas, my favourite time of the year, but that’s not to say it isn’t exhausting LOL.

    I paired her with the Peppermint Pines paper pack (also on sale). For the inside panel I embossed it with a snowflake embossing folder. After colouring her with copics I fussy cut out and mounted to foam squares. Of course adding some punched snowflakes for some interest as well.

    I added some ‘fluff’ to her cuffs and collar using some Martha Stewart glitter. I like how they turned out.

    Now be sure to grab these while they are on sale!

    While I still had the Mouse & Me Collection by Echo Park Paper out on my desk I decided to play with Snobert again

    After colouring him with copics I mounted on foam squares and added glitter glue to his hat and pom pom and Glossy Accents to his nose. I then stamped the Christmas from the heart of Christmas stamp set die cut it out and mounted it on foam squares as well.

    Be sure to grab Snobert while he is ON SALE for only $12.99 (regular $29.99)

    Caught You Peeking

    I have a couple of cards to share with you today and once again, using Unity stamps!

    These cuties are part of this month’s KOM or you can purchase them separately as a KOMpanion Hide & Holiday Peek stamp set (it’s on SALE!) Both cards use the new Mouse & Me Christmas collection from Echo Park Paper. I really like the colors in this, the addition of the blue and yellow are perfect.

    First up, Caught You Peeking. I layered the pattern paper then before adhering the white cardstock, I stencilled some snowflakes using a stencil from the Mouse & Me Collection. I mounted the images on foam squares then added some glitter glue to fur trim and glossy accents to the deer’s nose.

    The using scraps from this card I made the background for the snowman card. For this one I also used the heart of Christmas stamp and die set from Unity

    I am playing along with JUGS – Anything goes Stencil Week and Simon Says – Christmas in September

  • Christmas Card Trio

    Christmas Card Trio

    First Autumn now I am jumping right into Christmas! I still do mail Christmas cards so I have to start early and besides when Unity releases such an adorable stamp set Mouse on a Merry Mission (on sale right now!) , I am always eager to ink it up! I couldn’t decide which one to use first so I used all of them to create a card set.

    Aren’t they cute? For all cards the mice and sentiment are mounted on foam squares. The paper pack is Scandinavian holiday (which too, is on sale) Each card also has some sort of sparkle on it with glitter glue. Then, as always with my Christmas and winter cards, I added snowflakes.

    For this first card I embossed the white cardstock with a snowflake embossing folder, though it is hard to see.

    Next up, I created a tag then mounted the mouse on it.

    For this last card, I used paper scraps and also created a snowflake border strip.

    You definitely need this stamp set, so be sure to grab it while it is on sale! Just click on images for direct link.

  • A Wink from Santa

    A Wink from Santa

    Ooohhh this new Unity KOMpanion stamp set had me. Anyone who knows me knows I love Santa, I have a collection of them – especially love the cute ones just like this stamp he’s my favourite.

    Both cards were made using an old Carta Bella collection, called, of course Dear Santa.

    I colored both images pretty similar and added some sparkles to the fur and pom pom on his hat. The label punch for this card is from Stampin’ Up!

    Of course after coloring and fussy cutting I mounted him on foam squares.

    And with all of my Christmas or Winter themed cards, they never seem fully complete until some snowflakes are added somewhere.

    Now if you need this stamp set, and I believe you do… go grab it as it is on sale right now!

  • Hot Chocolate Time

    Hot Chocolate Time

    I had to play along once again with the theme from Inspired By, the TGIF and the Peace On Earth Challenge because I love everything about hot chocolate. I used the Sweet Holiday Wishes Collection from my ETSY shop for this one.

    Not sure if you can see it but I added some sparkle to the whip cream for the Lattes & Layers Challenge over on the CLP blog – the theme is sparkle

    This is the Sweet Holiday Wishes collection, click on image to go to my store

    And the challenges:

  • Sweet Gingerbread Wishes

    Sweet Gingerbread Wishes

    The new Inspired By Challenge is up. Gotta love a Charcuterie board. We have a hot chocolate charcuterie every Christmas Eve now. I had one a few years ago, my grand daughter really liked it and looks forward to it each year. I was inspired by the Gingerbread and the hot chocolate. I used this clip art which made this card go together very quickly. Once again I have used the Gingerbread Kisses from Doodlebug..

    If you like this clip art you can grab it here:

    Now I hope you come and join us, would love to see how you are inspired!

  • Sweet Christmas Wishes

    Sweet Christmas Wishes

    I played along with the Inspired by Challenge once again. I couldn’t help it, just love these colors and this old MFT panel die was perfect for it. I mounted all the die cuts (except little hearts) onto foam squares of some added dimension. And of course, had to throw in a couple of snowflakes.

    There’s still some time to play along! come on over and play!

  • Cozy Warm Winter Wishes

    Cozy Warm Winter Wishes

    My second hot cocoa card for today, this time using some Unity stamps. I used the It’s a Mug Hug stamp set for the main image and the sentiment is from the Cozy Vibes Coffee set I used some scraps of my Carta Bella Coffee shop papers. the image is coloured with copics and mounted on foam squares. I added glitter to the whip cream for detail.

    Once again playing along with (click on photos for direct link)

  • Stay Warm, Feel Cozy

    Stay Warm, Feel Cozy

    It’s National Cocoa Day so of course I had to create a card for the occasion. Actually I am going to see how many I can create today! This is the first of 2 so far. I used the Farmhouse collection from Carta Bella, which isn’t a Christmas/Winter collection but I thought the colors worked well for it. The mug die is from MFT, the snowman stamp is from Pinkfresh Studio and the sentiment is from Unity.

    I mounted the min image on foam squares. The embossed snowflake background was a scrap just laying on my desk so I made it into a tag to mount the image on.

    This is also another card for the Lattes & Layers challenge over on the Coffee Loving Paper Crafters Blog where the theme is Sparkle. I added some sparkle to the snowman’s hat.

    Come play along, as one lucky person will get to be a guest designer!
