WSC Merry & Bright

Good Saturday Morning Peeps!

Today's card is made with Beate's weekend Sketch Challenge.

I am soooo loving this snowman set, it is "Snow Buddies" and it is a level 2 hostess set from the holiday mini. I stamped the snowman onto some whisper white cardstock with black stazon.I colored in his nose and scarf with markers and stamped his hat onto some Holiday Lounge DS paper and cut it out. I colored in parts of his hat with the SU basic black marker. I cut out the snowman with my circle nesties and the black scallop is also a nestie. I then glued on his hat, it sticks out of the top of the circle just a bit.

The base of the card is Shara sand and then basic black and the DS paper is from the Holiday Lounge pack. The sentiment in the lower corner is a single stamp called "Merriment" and is stamped directly onto the designer paper with black stazon.
I added a black mini brad to the corners and mounted the snowman to the base with a few dimensionals. I added a little stardust stickles to the snowman and to the ground below the snowman.

Isn't he cute, like I said before I love this set! Be sure to come back tomorrow to see the fun little card I made with this same set for my Sweet Sunday Sketch card.

Thanks so much for coming by today and HAPPY STAMPING!!!!

TGIF Peeps!!! Hope you all had a great week and are looking forward to an even better weekend!

My card today is made for the color challenge on Pals Paper Arts. Love these colors together.

This card is a CASE of this fabulous CAS (clean and simple) card. I really am a big fan of clean and simple and Deb is a master at it, all her cards are fabulous. I have a hard time with it, I can't seem to stop adding layers and embellishments when I am making a card.

Anyway, I changed up the card a bit from the original, I added an extra layer under the main panel, no surprise there huh? I used a different sentiment and changed the colors to work with the challenge, basic gray, taken with teal and ruby red.

The sentiment comes from the "Grateful Greetings" Set and the leaves are from the "Autumn Splendor" set. I stamped the sentiment with basic gray ink and the leaves are in taken with teal and ruby red ink. I cut them out and added a basic gray corduroy button and then added them to the main panel with few dimensionals. The two stripes of card stock across the card are ruby red and taken with teal. The base of the card is basic gray. I then added three antique brads.

Well, that is all for today, thanks so much fr stopping by and HAPPY STAMPING!!!!

Happy Hump Day Peeps!

Today's card is made with Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge. I have to say I took a few liberties with the sketch, hope you don't mind Mercy. {wink} I used a circle instead of an oval, I will be getting the oval nesties this week, and then I flipped the sketch, putting my image on the opposite side. I hope it still qualifies for the sketch!!!

For this card I used the fun hostess set "Snow Buddies" a level 2 from the mini. I am so loving this set, I have another card to show you with this set later in the week!!!

My card is a 5 inch square. I used regal rose, real red and whisper white cardstock. The DS paper and the sentiment, which is a sticker, is from an old retired Simply Scrapping kit, Winter Bright.

I stamped the snowman onto whisper white and then used my circle nestie to cut it out. I left the nestie in place and then sponged some bashful blue ink around the snow "girl"! I colored in her scarf and hat with my regal rose marker. I added some star dust stickles to the side of her and used my white gel pen to add some snowflakes and dots to the hat. I used a bit of liquid applique for the top of the hat. I mounted the image to the base with some dimensionals. I added some regal rose ribbon and some white brads.

Well, that is all for today, thanks so much for stopping by and HAPPY STAMPING!!!!

Mojo JOY!!

Good Tuesday Morning Peeps!

Today I am sharing a card with you made with the Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge.

I started my card with a base of regal rose, followed by some old olive and the DS paper is from the retired Holiday Thyme pack. I used the stamp set "Season of Joy". I stamped the main image twice, once in old olive onto some whisper white card stock, and once onto some regal rose card stock with some white craft ink. I cut and punched out some of the elements of the image from the regal rose piece and mounted over the old olive with dimensionals. I added a punched snowflake and alot of bling!

Simple, non-traditional and easily mailable Christmas card.

Well, that is all for today, thanks so much for stopping by and HAPPY STAMPING!!!!

Gd Monday Morning Peeps!! Hope you all had a great Halloween weekend!

I used ruby red and Shara sand card stock along with some whisper white. The DS paper is from the Holiday Lounge pack.

The sketch used on this card is from Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge.

I have to thank my friend Lois for her help with this card, she made a couple of suggestions when I was having a mental block. I have been having mojo problems lately, doubting my abilities....LOL!!!

SSSC42 Thankful Thoughts

It is Sunday Peeps, which means it is time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch.

The card that I have for today using the SSSC#42 was created using the stamp sets Autumn Harvest and the sentiment is from the new set Grateful Greetings.

Here is the sketch we are using this week:



My card base is taken with teal and the DS paper comes from the Autumn Meadows pack. I also used some whisper white and chocolate chip cardstock. I paper pieced the pumpkin with ore of the DS paper from that same pack.The pumpkin and the sentiment panel are both mounted using dimensionals. I added some piercing and finally some wide chocolate chip striped grosgrain ribbon.


I was really having fun with this sketch and so I made another card with it and then couldn't decide which I liked best to use for today's sketch, so how about both:



This one uses the A Cardinal Christmas Set. The base and DS paper is old olive, I used real red and whisper white cardstock too. I added some white satin ribbon and some dazzling diamonds to the berries, very pretty IRL.

So why not join in on the fun and create a card using Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch, then link your card over at Karen's blog for all of us to see.
