Peppermint Candycanes


Something just drew my to this set by Cornish Heritage Farms. The nostalgia....I'm not sure what it is, but I adore this set.


This paper just seemed like candy canes to me. It is from DCWV Christmas glitter stack. This was a quick and simple card. The image is stamped in SU real red and the 'candycanes' word is overwritten with a clear Copic glitter pen. The edges of the oval are inked and the scallops on the other oval have dots of Stickles on them.


I like how this turned out. :smile:


Thanks for stopping by!

Fun Snowman


This was a fun card to make. I really like this snowman and you might find him paper pieced someday. :)


I already had the oval cut and embossed in my scraps. I stamped the snowman and colored him with Copics. I masked him and sponged on Soft Sky ink and then stamped snowflakes over the sponging. There is a bit of Faux Snow under him. He is mounted on a scalloped oval with Stickles in the scallops. The paper is from Basic grey, the Blitzen collection.


The sentiment is stamped with chalk ink and highlighted with Stickles (on the snowflake). It is mounted onto a circle of Soft Sky covered in faux snow then mounted on a Mellow Moss scalloped circle. The yarn is almost the color of Soft Sky, I got lucky there.


The snowman panel and the white sentiment circle are up on Stampin' Up dimensionals.


Thanks for stopping by!

Figgy Pudding Trees


First of all, it is SO cold this morning and that is relative because I live in FL. It was 33 degrees! Not the coldest we get, but it was in the 80s two days ago!

These trees were stamped on the Figgy Pudding dp and cut out. The heart was stamped on the pink paper and then cut out and pieced. I colored in the trunks with SU choc. chip marker. I used a corner rounder to make the scalloped edge. The cut out image was mounted on the pink paper then on the white paper. The edge of the white paper is inked in choc. chip. The sentiment was stamped using a Stamp-a-ma-jig (and I still messed it up the first time!). I happened to find the brown and blue polka dot paper AFTER I had already attached the ribbon....not the same brand, just lucky!

I love Basic Grey dp and have just ordered more and can't wait to use it. I am really happy with how this card turned out and will probably do the layout again with different dp. Hmm, that might make a nice gift set. Whatcha think?

Thanks for stopping by!
