Festive North Pole Greetings

Hi friends! I hope you're doing well! Today I'm sharing a card made with Pretty Little Studio's latest collection called Candy Cane!  I'm linking up to Christmas Crafts All Year Round Challenge where you're supposed to use a letter C = mine is for the Candy Cane Collection and letter D mine is for Deck The Halls.

If you're a fan of BRIGHTS like I am then you're going to love this collection! It's a feast for the eyes that reminds me of multi color holiday lights!

I used some stacked frames to create a focal point for my design. The postage cancel stamp takes center stage surrounded by beautiful florals and an adorable elf dangling some mistletoe overhead.

I added a few embellishments - the "dear santa" sentiment sticker along the top edge of the card, a "festive" die cut along the bottom, and a die cut scallop border along the right edge. The finishing touch is a sprinkle of gems from my own stash.

Any day I get a holiday card made for my stash is always a plus especially this time of year because there's no pressure to get it done quick!

Pink & Main February Release Giveaway & Freebie Alert!

The February Pink & Main release is here! We are launching our fun new Twinkle Inks, and more products for spring and St. Patrick’s Day! Read to the bottom to find out more about the GIVEAWAY and PRIZE!

My card bottom to top features the Green Shamrocks Foilable that I hot foiled with new Leafy Green Cheerfoil. That shine is gorgeous in person but awful hard for me to photograph for you so I toned it down with a panel of vellum through the center.

This also helps create a focal point for the new Lucky Horseshoe. Yes! It includes the horseshoe and shamrock dies. I stacked the clovers to add more interest and topped them with green gems.

The sentiment is from the new Lucky Charm stamp set that has lots of fun sentiments to express your good fortune!

You're In Luck

I love when there's a special holiday in the month. Sometimes the holidays don't really connect with me culturally (just as an example, I'm not Irish) but I love to celebrate them anyway! It gives me a chance to explore other cultures and heck! I want to have a good time too!

The Pretty Pink Posh Lucky Animals is such a fun set! It's got lots of animals and little sentiments that have me thinking of different expressions like You lucky dog! or Lucky Duckie!

All of my cards start the same way! I arrange the images on a piece of clear plastic the size of my card base. This allows me to arrange things until I'm happy and has the added benefit of letting me slip different papers underneath to get a "sneak peek" of the finished card.

For this card I chose a simple Distress Ink background. I shaded into the center so the edges are darker. I splattered the panel with water and then some watered down distress ink to add a little more interest.

I'm linking up to Crafty Animals Challenge where critters are always welcome! Hugs and have a great day!
