  • 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

  • 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:

  • Warm Gingerbread Wishes

    Warm Gingerbread Wishes

    I played along with the Inspired By Challenge again as well as with the TGIF challenge. I thought this cute image from a clip art collection was perfect. I used some scraps of browns, and Kraft papers and the red snowflake is from the Sweet Holiday Wishes collection. I used the theme and sketch from Inspired By and the theme for TGIF

    Now if you like the clip art you can find it here:

    And here is the Sweet Holiday Wishes collection

  • 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!

  • Happy Holly Days

  • 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.
