Good Tidings and Cheer!

Welcome back!  Today I'm sharing a Christmas Card with some "ornaments" hanging on the tree.

I started by adding some Glitz Glitter Gel polka dots with the Signature Polka Dot Stencil and set it aside to dry. 

Then I cut all of my Santa pieces... the face/beard was cut twice... once from white and once from a peachy pink.  I trimmed the beard apart on the white cut just trimming out his face and then gluing it over the pink cut after adding some blush to his cheeks with an alcohol marker.  I die cut the rest of the pieces and assembled them and then added an ornament topper and the chain from the Bird Cage set.  Then I cut a circle and added a topper and chain to it also.

I popped up the frame and added it to the polka dot background.  Then I die cut the pine branches and added them to the card and popped up the ornaments over the top.  I stamped the sentiment and trimmed it down and popped it up over the top of the branches.

That's me for today!  Thanks so much for stopping and hope you'll come again soon.

National Cocoa Day 2023!

Hello!  I've got a fun cocoa card for you today!  Did you know it's National Cocoa Day?? The Coffee Loving Cardmakers are celebrating with a short hop and a giveaway!  Be sure to check it out to see how you could win.

I used my favorite holiday paper to create mine.

That stripy paper is my very favorite design paper that I have.  I intend to use every last scrap!  The pink that the Cocoa is cut from is the back side of the stripe.  And the blue background is another piece from the line.  I used the cup from Hug In A Mug and cut a candy cane from the pink DP and decided that this cocoa needed a cookie!  So I put together the gingerbread man.

Finally I finished it off with a sentiment from Hug In A Mug!

That's me for today!  Be sure to head on over to the Coffee Loving Cardmakers and see what everyone has for you today!

Thanks for stopping!  Come again soon!

Joyful Giving

Welcome back!  Today I used some of my favorite papers along with some of my favorite dies for a pretty Christmas card!

I cut the tree from white glitter paper and used a bunch of flower center dies to create some balls for the tree.  I also used various bow dies for the gifts I cut from the stripy paper using the square dies.

All inside the vintage frame with a simple sentiment using the Mini Headline Type dies.

Thanks so much for stopping!  Come again soon!
