A Delightful Snowman...

Hi there, just a super quick post today J  I'm still in need of Christmas Cards for our friends and family and I got uber inspired by the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches.

I even decided to watercolor using Tim Holtz Distress Inks- they are so nice to work with. Anyways, I just kept it super clean and simple. I started off by cutting out the main panel using a Tim Holtz die and my Big Shot. Then I stamped the most delightful snowman from Stampin Up using Black Stazon and added a bit of color with my Aqua Painter and inks. Then I just layered him up and added the snowflake (also a die cut), added a bit of ribbon to the button and stuck them together using sticky dots.

Hope you like it and wish you a wonderful Holiday Season,

Jessie

Enjoy the Holly Days...

Happy Monday! I'm writing this post as I watch the wonderful snow flurries outside - you know the kind with the big fat flakes :)  Which totally beats the rain we had just before the flurries started.

Anyways, today over at Totally Stampalicious Monday the challenge is:

Non- Traditional Christmas Colors!!!!

I think that Scarlett Mistletoe is looking fabulous in Purple...What do you think?

I stamped her onto Gina K Pure Luxury using Tuxedo Black- Tsukineko and colored her using my Copics. I sponged the edges using Tim Holtz Distress Ink. The white ribbon is from RRR and the purple ribbon is from unknown. I then used my heat tool to shrivel the ribbon and give it a wonderful wrinkled look. The embossing folder for the background is from SU. All the cardstock used is from SU.

White, Navy and Silver...

     Hi there, hope you are having a marvelous week:) It's a bit chilly outside here...mind you it is about 10 degrees Celsius above our average for this time of year; so I guess a person shouldn't complain too much.

Anyways, I thought I would play along with a challenge over at The Paper Players; White, Silver, Night of Navy.

I started off by covering my cardstock in some tinfoil (which was nice as I got to use up some cardstock that I have tons of but never use; I think I used an orange color) and then I ran it through my Big Shot with an embossing folder from SU (that I just got). I used Stampin Up's "Snow Swirled" and "Sincere Salutations" stamp sets with Night of Navy ink (as well as 2 other shades of blue for some contrast). The cardstock is also from SU as well as the punch I used for the sentiment.

I just really tried to keep the design simple and not over complicated or cluttered.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope to see you soon,

Jessie

Snow much Fun!!!

Hi there, Thanks for stopping by to take a boo at this card. I so loved making it- it was snow much fun….lol.

So the challenge over at Totally Stampalicious Monday is to use two different stamp sets on the same card/ project.

So I paired "Deacon Elf" with "Deacon and Ava HoHo" in this snow much fun (sorry I can't help myself today) Side Step Card.

I have also entered this card over at "Ala Card Monkey" for 

#83- All Holidays +  sketch

I started by stamping my images onto Gina K cardstock with Memento ink and then I colored it up with my Copics. Next I stamped on my DP with the large tree from "Lovely as a Tree" set from SU and used my piercer and black pen to add some faux stitching to frame Deacon Elf and then adhered them to my card using 3D Pop Dots (oops forgot that I also used some Goosebumps spray to add a bit of dimension and sparkle). Next I just added some die cut snowflakes and a border from Bazzill (I cut it into two pieces). I also used a die cut that came with the paper pack (My Mind's Eye) to stamp a sentiment on and put the final touch of the Copic White for snow and Voila……a super fun card. 

Be sure to stop on over at the Totally Stampalicious Store for their Absolutely Delectable Dessert Promotion they are having!!! On your way over to the Blog to Play along with us!!!!
