Peace & Joy

Hello again! There's another challenge up at Christmas Card Challenges. This week our optional challenge is Tags.

 

 

I colored this sweet Gwen from Some Odd Girl with copics and added glitter to her halo and wings. The sentiment is from the same set. The tag was cut using a die from Taylored Expressions using patterned paper from WeR Memory Keepers: Winter Frost. I just added some ribbon and called it done!

 



 

Thanks for looking!

Let's Party!

 Hello and happy February! Today's post is a bitter sweet one for me, as it will be my last card as an ABC Challenge DT member. This was the first design team I was ever asked to be a part of and I have loved it. I just needed to step down for a short break. But don't worry, as always the rest of the DT will be there for plenty of inspiration!

 

Our challenge is Embellish, use 3 or more embellies on your card. For my card I used an image from one of our sponsors, Kenny K. She's colored with copics and some Spica glittered lips : ) The paper is from Fancy Pants: Happy Go Lucky. I added some ribbon, a button, gems, and some stars cut using a MFT die for my embellishments. The sentiment is from Taylored Expressions.

 



 

As always, Thanks for looking!

Let It Snow

 Hello! I'm back with another card for Christmas Card Challenges, it's the last challenge of the month so it's Anything Goes!

 

 

I decided to go for a quick no-stamping card using my favorite Simple Stories: Handmade Holiday papers. I added some clear Rock Candy mixed with a little bit of Stickles and added it to the snow. Chunky and sparkly : ) Some MME baker's twine and CTMH pearls finish it off!

 

Thanks for looking!

Friends Are The Gift

Hello! I'm so excited to share my latest card for Christmas Card Challenges. Our optional challenge for this week is to make a 1 layer card.

 

 

 

Amy Rysavy colored on kraft cardstock with her copics in a couple of her cards in her 2013 Christmas series and I loved the look. I thought a 1 layer card would be a great way to try my hand at it! I stamped this super cute image from Tiddly Inks and totally love how she looks colored on the kraft. I used a prismacolor pencil for the white details. The sentiment is from AmyR stamps. a CTMH snowflake button and some pearls finish it off!

 



 

I'm also playing along with Tiddly Inks challenge # 124: clean & simple. Thanks for looking!

I Mustache A Question...

Hello! I'm just dropping in quick to share the card I made for my mom to give my uncle for his birthday.

 

 

My Uncle Dennis always had a mustache when I was growing up. It was so weird to see him for the longest time after he shaved it off a few years ago. He was the first person I thought about when I saw this month's Stamp of the Month from Taylored Expressions. So it was only fitting I used it for his birthday card. I printed the inside so it said "You're how old??"

 

I was totally inspired by this card Chera made for Clean & Simple's FTL #274. I initially had the mustaches as the negative die cut like Chera's card, but decided I wanted to use different scraps of my Webster's Pages: Recorded papers.
