Christmas Cheer!

Have you seen the newest collection from Pretty Little Studio? It's called Candy Cane and it's just gorgeous!

I'm loving the bright colors, cheerful prints and images in this collection. My favorites would have to be the die cut strings of garland and fun hand drawn florals and foliage.

I used a clear sticker sentiment on my card today. I simple stuck it on a piece of white cardstock and then die cut it with and oval die. You could easily use a punch in another shape. This collection even has clear sticker faux stitches for embellishing.

I used some stacked frames to create a focal point for the sentiment and then topped it with a great big poinsettia die cut. A string of garland wraps around the sentiment drawing your eye down to the sticker stitches.

It's never a bad time to start working on your holiday cards, and when this paper is so pretty it feels magical making!

Snow Much Fun!

Today I'm playing at Just Add Ink where this time you're asked to add something seasonal. With the big winter storm taking up all the headlines how can I resist adding a snowman?

Sometimes I wish I could hold onto the joy of a child when they see the magic in snowfall. I suppose as we grow up it seems like more of a burden.. clearing the walks, making sure that our families are safe and warm and fed.

For my card today I created a snowy background of Chill In The Air pattern papers. Dots become snowfall, and die cut waves are drifts of snow.

I stamped the sentiment directly on the pattern paper and then die cut, assembled, and adhered the snowman into the scene. A few gems - the berries on his hat and larger ones in the air add some sparkle and shine.

I hope you're keeping warm and are able to sit indoors and enjoy the beauty of the snow today.

Winter Flurry of Fun!

Today I'm playing at Love Those Pretty Papers where it's Anything Goes with an Optional Snowman! It's so cold here in the Midwest and every day brings something new.. usually a fresh dusting of snow so rather than fight it I'm embracing it!

My card starts with pretty papers from Pink and Main's Chill In The Air pattern paper pack. It's classic winter shades of blue with a pop of red for some contrast. The prints are snowflakes, dots, plaids, stripes and more!

The images and sentiment are from the Flurry of Fun stamp set. I t includes the bears, snowman and even a few penguins as well as some snowballs and drifts of snow so you can make a scene card.

I added a few gems to look like snowflakes or sparkling snow. The images were left mostly white and uncolored so this came together fast!

I hope you're staying warm inside, and if you have to venture out make sure you bundle up!
