Snowman Hot Cocoa

 Hello everyone.  I cannot believe Christmas is around the corner.  I was hoping to get some more Christmas Crafting in before Christmas.  We will see... Anywhoo I have fun Holiday card that I made for the current Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge Coffee + Snowman #24.





I had so much fun making this card.  I had this cute Snowman Mug SVG file for awhile and I'm so glad I could use it for this Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge.  I first cut all my pieces from my Silhouette Design Library using my Silhouette Cameo 3 machine.  I used mostly, white, red, black, kraft, orange, and pink cardstock.  I did ink blend the kraft cardstock for the hands, coffee, and gingerbread with Ground Espresso Distress ink.  


I glued my snowman Hot Cocoa together using liquid glue.  I used my white and black gel pens for accents and details. I also used a red copic marker for some shading. I used pattern paper from my stash I believe this one came from Joanns.  I love that it was double sided and that I liked both patterns for this card.  I cut my pieces using my paper trimmer.


I added some coarse white glitter to my marshmallows and candy cane and glued everything to a pink A2 card base.  I stamped and heat embossed my sentiment from Jaded Blossom White Christmas Stamp and then cut it to fit my card.  I didn't feel like I needed embellishments for this card.  I hope you like it.  

Thank you for taking a look!

Merry Christmas Poinsettia Card

 Hello everyone.  I have a Holiday card to share using Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps.  I had so much making this card and I plan to give  it to our friend April who is bringing us some Homemade Cookies. She always makes so many different kinds.  My favorite is the Magic Coconut Bars...Yum.



I went for a pinkish Holiday Card.  I love how it came out.  I used pink heavy weight cardstock 110lb. panel 4 x 5 1/4.  I placed my cardstock in my misti stamping platform and used the Poinsettia Wishes Stamp set.  I used Lawn Fawn Plastic Flamingo dye ink for the flowers and I inked up the leaves with Catherine Pooler Deck The Halls Dye ink.  I used Versafiene Nocturne ink for the centers and I scattered some of the centers on my card.  I also stamped the sentiment on my panel too.  I have used this sentiment a lot for my Holiday Cards. I love the font so much.


Next, I glued my panel to a green heavy weight A2 Card Base.  I added some sequins and that finishes this card.  I had a lot of fun making it and it was really easy too.  I hope you like it.

Thank you for taking a Peek.

Christmas Card

 Hi everyone.  I have a card today using A Colorful Life Designs Folk Christmas Stencil.  Use VonFan10 to save 10% off your purchase.



On my card, I used a white A2 Neenah Solar White card base for this card.  Usually I use a A2 panel or cardstock to cut out with a rectangle die but I decided to ink blend on a card base for a change.  I taped my edges so that I would not get ink anywhere that wasn't suppose to.  I then used the Folk Christmas Stencil with Catherine Pooler Spa Collection Juniper Mist, Something Borrowed, Green Tea. Sauna, and Peppermint Scrub inks.  I used Memento Rich Cocoa ink for the deer.



Next, I glued a Sticker sentiment from Tim Holtz Christmas Ideology Sticker Book. I glued some sequins and that finishes this card.  I love how this card came out. It was definitely easy as I didn't have to glue a panel onto it.  I love the colors too and I hope you do also.  

Thank you for taking a look!

I used a retired die set from Spellbinders.  I cut and put everything together using liquid glue.  I also used a red Copic marker for my candy canes.

Merry Christmas

 Hello everyone.  I have another Santa card today.  I love Santa.  I used a stencil from A Colorful Life Designs previous Release called Pulled in along with Spread Love Stamp Set.  Use VonFan10 to save 10% off your purchase.


I used a A2 stitched rectangle white cardstock panel and ink blended the Pulled in Stencil with Catherine Pooler Peppermint Scrub ink and a little bit of Catherine Pooler Lime Rickey ink for the center.  I stamped a sentiment from the Spread Love Stamp set with Black ink directly onto my panel.


I stamped a Santa from the Spread Love Stamp Set and cut it out with my Brother Scan N Cut.  I colored it in with my Ohuhu Markers and added some white gel accents with my white gel pen.  I glued my panel to a A2 card base and glued my Santa.  Lastly, I added some black embellishments.  I hope you like my card.  I think this is a really neat stencil to have in your stash. It just pulls you in.

A Birthday Turtle Card and a Santa Card for Day 6

 Hello everyone.  I have been having so much fun with my Advent Calendars from Unity Stamp Co. and Spellbinders.  Last Year I only git a chance to do Unity Stamp Co. because I found out about Spellbinders too late and so I made sure to order really early this year.



So for Day 6 I created 2 cards using the Rubber Sentiment from Unity Stamp Co. and the Birthday Turtle with Balloons from Spellbinders.


On my Day 6 using Spellbinders,  I die cut all the dies with greens, red, pink, black, and white card stock.  I love all the these cute pieces you get.  I didn't own a Birthday Turtle or a turtle at all so I was very excited for this one. The Advent Calendar is such a great investment if you ask me. After I put my turtle together.  I cut it out again and layered it so that it was a nice and sturdy die cut.  I then ink blended it a little with Lawn Fawn Clover green ink.  I think the party hat is so cute.  


I found some Birthday pattern paper in my stash and cut it to be A2 size.  I glued everything to a A2 pink car base.  I added a bow from Day 1 and word sentiments from Day 2.  I think its cute.  What do you think?


Here is my second card using Day 6 Unity Stamp Co.  I first on a white card stock strip I stamped the Tree and Santa from Unity Stamps Advent Calendar 2022 with Memento Black ink.  I stamped the New Day 6 Sentiment on another piece of cardstock with red ink and then cut it down.  I colored the tTee, Santa, and background with my Copic Markers.  I then glued my sentiment next to the Santa.  I added some white gel accents to my colored images and background.  


Next, I used the Merry Christmas Stencil from A Colorful Life Designs. (Use VonFan10) to save 10% off your purchases.  I inked it up with Lawn Fawn Clover green ink and cut my background 4 x 5 1/4.  I glued everything to a white A2 card base.  I added some red liquid drops and that finishes my card.  I hope you like both cards using the Advent Calendars.  Like I said I'm having so much fun!

Thank you for taking a look!
