Happy Ho Ho Holidays

 Hello and happy Saturday to you!

I've been in Christmas card making mode all week, and

want to share one of them:

 

I used the Taylored Expressions Nordic Holiday embossing folder for

the main panel. After embossing, I smooshed some gold

ink on my craft mat, loaded up my brayer, and

rolled over the design. I repeated that two more times so that

the gold ink showed up really good. Santa and Mrs. Claus

were stamped, colored and die cut, then given a coating of

Nuvo glitter drops in White Blizzard here and there.

 The sentiment has the same

gold glitter paper matte as the main panel. 

 

Another sentiment finishes the inside.

 

One more Christmas card done. A gazillion more to go.

Thanks for visiting, have a great day!

STAMPlorations Theme & Photo Prompt Challenge reminder

 

Hey there crafty friends!

Just popping in with a reminder about the 

STAMPlorations Theme & Photo Prompt Challenge!

This time around, I went with just the theme, using red and

green for contrast:

 The Christmas Stocking Large 

 

stamp was heat embossed using red glitter embossing powder,

 

for some festive sparkle!

I used my favorite image from the Mixed Media Grunge

stamp set and went around the edges in red ink. For the red matte

behind it, I trimmed red card stock using one of the dies 

from the Art Edges CUTplorations set.

On the inside of my card, I used one the the sentiments from

the Holiday Expressions: Yuletide Cheer   

stamp set to finish it.

There's still plenty of time to play along for a chance at 

winning some fabulous prizes. Check out the

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #173 - P is for Penguin

 

 Hello and welcome back, snarky peeps!

This fortnight at the

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS

we want to see a penguin or more on your projects.

I won this cute stamp earlier this year from my

Sistah Jo's side hustle, Christmas Kickstart Challenge,

and thought it was high time to color it up: 

 

 

 

and the inside:

 

 

 These cute critters were just too, well, cute, to snark up, so I didn't.

It also happened to be the perfect size for a slimline card, and I got

to try out some new dies to make this card.

I hope that you'll join my Sisters and our reigning Queen, Lauren,

 

 in creating a penguin themed project. We'd love to see your

 

take on the challenge. Thanks for visiting.

 

Have a wonderful day!

Sorry for the crappy pictures. I almost forgot to make a card, and

STAMPlorations November Theme & Photo Prompt Challenge

 

Hello crafty friends and welcome!

It's time for the November Theme & Photo Prompt Challenge at STAMPlorations!

As always, you can use both theme and photo, or just one of them for your projects.

I went with just the photo prompt this time for my card:

I used modeling paste with the Merry Go Round ARTplorations stencil.

 

Once it was dry I put the stencil back on and pounced Versamark ink over it,

 

then used holographic embossing powder. (A gift from my friend Lindsey.)  

 

 

 

It's hard to capture just how amazing the holographic EP looks!

 

The Birthday Wishes word die 

 

was cut twice, stacked and glued to the panel.  On the inside,

I used one of the sentiments from the Celebrate Big

 

stamp set to finish my card.

 

 

 

There's another great promotion going on at the

STAMPlorations store!
