Holy Mackerel!

 Hi everyone and happy Tuesday!

It's my day to post over on the Jaded Blossom Blog 

and I am running a bit low on birthday cards, so I decided to make one to add to my stash.

Here is a look at the card that I created:

I started by creating a card base from some blue cardstock and layering a white mat that I cut out using the Rectangle Strip Card Mat Die on top. I used the Rectangle Strip Card Mat Die twice more to cut out some patterned paper strips that I could inlay into the rectangle openings. I used the Ticket Book Die to create a "frame", adding my sentiment from the Fish On stamp set to the bottom before adhering it to my card front. I built that adorable little gnome using the Gnome Dies, Gnome Dies: Gnome Face Add Ons 1, Gnome Dies: Girl Gnome Face Add Ons & Gnome Dies: Fishing Add Ons and added him above my sentiment.

Fun right?

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today and taking a look at my latest creation!
I really appreciate it!
I hope you have a great crafty day!

Mrs. Claus Baking Co.

Hi everyone and happy Tuesday!

It's my day to post over on the Jaded Blossom Blog 

and keeping with the "Christmas in July" mindset that I am currently in, I decided to make a Christmas card to add to my stash for this upcoming holiday season. 

Here is a look at the card that I created:

Isn't this Mrs. Claus the sweetest? I just think she is so adorable!

I created my card by using the Scallop Rectangle Dies 2 and cutting out two pieces of patterned paper. I cut down the striped patterned paper into a 1.75" strip and adhered it to my other piece of patterned paper before adding them to my white A2 card base. I cut out a smaller scallop by using the Scallop Rectangle Dies 2 once again and stamped my greeting from the Mrs. Claus Baking Co. stamp set into the bottom right corner. I added some doodling and then popped up the sentiment piece onto my card with foam tape. I stamped Mrs. Claus with some Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored her with my Copic markers. I fussy cut her out and added her to my sentiment panel. I added some holly from the Christmas Dies and some more doodling to the perimeter of my card to complete the look. 

I added just a touch of sparkle to her hair bow and to the center of the heart cookie. 

One Christmas card down, many more to go haha!

Skin: E50, E51, E21, E04, R20

Hair: C0, C1, C3

Jaded Blossom's July Challenge!

Hi everyone and happy July!!

Today starts a new challenge over at the Jaded Blossom blog!!

This month is.....

Anything Goes, with the option of Christmas in July!

 We would love to see your projects that use those awesome Jaded Blossom stamps/dies!

Challenge Guidelines: 

1) Project must be new for this challenge, no back linking

2) Project must have a Jaded Blossom stamp, die, or stencil somewhere on it. 

3) Only one entry per person

Here is a look at what I created to share with you today...

I love being able to get a little ahead of the holiday season and do as many Christmas in July projects as I can, so this challenge was the perfect time to make a couple of gift card holders.

I used the Stocking Gift Card Die and cut it out twice (to make 2 gift cards) from some white cardstock. I cut them out again, using some patterned papers so that I could layer on top of my white base. I added a little tag that I created using the Gift Tags stamp set and the Mini Tag Dies 2 and adhered that to the upper corner. I created a little double bow using the Bow Dies and added a little puffy Santa sticker to the center before adding it to the top of my tag. 

I added some white doodles and some small puffy stickers to finish my gift card holders. 

Be sure to check out the Jaded Blossom blog to see what the rest of the DT made, they never disappoint! 

I hope you will play along, I would love to see what you make!

Isn't this little RV Camper the cutest? 

I created a white A2 cardbase and cut out some patterned papers using the Postage Dies and Spring Dies (grassy edge) and adhered them together. I added some crochet thread to the top before affixing my background panel to my card base. I built that adorable little camper using the Car Dies: RV Camper and added a little gnome that I built using the Mini Girl Gnome Dies. I stamped out my sentiment using some black ink and the Bait Shop stamp set, trimmed it down and added her little hands so that it appeared as if she was holding a little poster board sign. I used the Spring Embellishment Cluster Die to cut out some flowers and added those to my card as well. I finished off my card with some enamel dots to the flower centers and a bow on my crochet thread.

Fun right??

I created my card by first making a white A2 top folding card. I cut out some cloud patterned paper using the Scallop Rectangle Dies 2 and added that to my card. I die cut that fun new Hot Air Balloon and added one of the new Mini Girl Gnome Dies to the inside of the basket. I added that to my card and tucked a couple of clouds from the Spring Dies 2 behind. I cut out another cloud and added a sentiment from the Sky Is The Limit and added that in front of the Hot Air Balloon.
