Christmas Present Card

Today I'm sharing a card featuring paper from My Mind's Eye. I used a die from Sizzix called "gift" and cut it once with green striped paper and once with red paper, then cut them out and pieced them together. A little chipboard flag is in the upper left corner with baker's twine threaded through it. 

The Mod Squad Challenge this week is to use chipboard. 

The Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge is to use the theme "Gift It." 

The Simon Says Stamp Work it Wednesday theme is "Use a die."    

MFT Sketch Challenge 311

This card is based on the latest sketch challenge from My Favorite Things. 

I had some little pieces of paper from Authentique that needed a purpose, so this sketch was great.

I used Sizzix Valentine Flourishes to make the embellishment. So, this card gets entered in the Work it Wednesday Challenge "Use a die."   

The stamp is from the MFT Vintage Cameo set. 

Warm Winter Wishes

The 2016 Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop is in full swing. 

I'm adding my own contribution today with this card. 

The papers are from My Mind's Eye.  I inked the edges with Walnut Stain Distress Ink.

The stamp is "Winter Fox" from Lawn Fawn. I colored it in with Prismacolor pencils. 

Peace, Love, Joy

This card was made using cute holiday paper from American Crafts. No sketch here, just played with paper until it looked right.

Snowman Chirstmas

I'm posting a Christmas card based on Mojo Monday sketch 477. 

The bold prints on the paper required an equally bold stamped image. I used a snowman stamp from Hero Arts and colored it in using Prismacolor pencils.

The papers come from a My Mind's Eye paper pad. The green button is from an embellishment pack designed to coordinate with the papers. I embossed red paper using a Cuddlebug buttons embossing strip for the strip of paper at the bottom. 

This card is being entered in the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge. This week's challenge is Ice Inspiration.
