Christmas Wishes

Pretty Little Studio's latest collection called #CandyCane is ready for the making! And any time I get a holiday card made is a win! I love the bright colors that remind me of colorful Christmas lights and the fun loose drawn images in the collection that add a bit of whimsy.

Today I thought I'd make a monochrome design starting with green plaid paper topped with stacked frames to create a focal point. I added a die cut dotted green scallop border along the bottom edge of the frames.

Next I added some pretty florals. The larger arrangement is adhered flat to the panel while the big white flower is added with adhesive foam tape. This adds some dimension and more interest to the design.

A simple die cut sentiment and a sprinkle of gems finish the design. I think every holiday card should have at least a tiny bit of bling to make it more magical!

I hope you check out the new collection and feel inspired to get a few holiday cards of your own done. When December rolls around you'll sure be glad you did!  I'm linking to Christmas Crafts All Year Round where E is for Evergreen!

Easter Bunny Tail Basket

Thanks for stopping by! I have a fun card for you today and I'm also playing along at the Four Seasons Challenge where they're celebrating Spring! It was a long stormy night and dawn brings a new day.. still rainy and cloudy, but when I went in the yard I saw five deer standing behind our fence. I figured they must have had a long night too so I went in and got them a loaf of bread. I thought they would be gone when I came back with it, but it's almost as though they anticipated my delivery!

I love nature and anything nature inspired and while I hate sharing my garden with the rabbits in the area sometimes I look the other way! SSShhhh.. don't tell Mr. J!!!

This is a super fun 3D card that's so simple to make. It starts with the Pink & Main Basket Die that creates the basket front, and the back with the handle. The Bunny Tail Basket Add On includes the back end of the bunny as well as the Eggs and grass. Just cut out the pieces and assemble!

Even the sentiment is included. I added a little extra egg on the front for fun! I hope you have a great day and don't forget to explore the world around you!

You're My Lucky Charm!

I have to tell you that I was really surprised with the latest release from Pink and Main. This release included three packs of coordinating paper with rub ons and ephemera (printed die cut images).

The papers are a nice weight and a bit glossy. Each sheet is 8.5 x 5.5" - enough to cover two A2 size cards with some scraps to create faux washi.

The ephemera is mostly die cut sentiments with a "Lucky" theme that you can use on other projects. I used a horseshoe a a focal point and added a sentiment and florals.

I added gems to the horseshoe for a little sparkle and shine. I anything St. Patrick's day HAS TO HAVE some gold and the Ballroom Gems are my favorite!

I'm linking up to Love Those Pretty Papers Challenge blog where it's always anything goes with an optional "CIRCLES" this time.   I hope you find some time to play!
