Christmas Wishes!

Hi everyone!

I hope you are having a wonderful day so far!

I'm still working on some Christmas cards for Christmas In July and wanted to pop in real quick and share the one that I made with the The Greeting Farm Christmas In July Challenge that is currently going on over at their FB Fan Page.

I created my white top folding card base and layered a piece of red patterned paper on top. I die cut a white scallop frame and added that on top. I used the scallop frame to cut out some striped patterned paper and trimmed a piece from the negative so that I could inlay it into the scallops on the white frame. I stamped the Holiday Anya 7 with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored her with my Copic markers. Once I had her colored, I stamped her again onto some pink patterned paper, fussy cut the hat and skirt and added it to my image. I added my sentiment and a stitched oval before popping her up with foam tape onto the front of my card. I finished my card with a couple of stitched hearts, clay bits and white Nuvo drops. So super cute!

Copic Colors Used:

Skin: E50, E51, E21, E04, R00, R20

Hair: E31, E33, E35

Gingerbread: E40, E42, E43, E44

Stars: Y13, Y15

Holly: YG03, YG05, R27

I would also like to enter my card into the following challenges:

The Paper Shelter: #605 Holiday Time

Creative Knockouts: #526 Christmas In July

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Add Sparkle

 (Wink Of Stella is on the stars as well as glossy accents on the berries and gingerbread for shine)

 Hi everyone and happy Wednesday!

Today is my day to post over at the Jaded Blossom blog 

and I have a super cute Christmas card to share with you today.

I just love these new little faces that Jaded Blossom recently released!

I created my card by creating my card base from white cardstock and covered it with a piece of patterned paper that I cut out using the Scallop Rectangle Dies 2. I used the Scallop Rectangle Dies 2 again to cut out a piece of white cardstock, adhering it at an angle to a piece of vellum and stamped my sentiment using the Elf Wishes Stamp set with some Versafine Ink. I popped it up onto the front of my card with foam tape for just a tiny bit of dimension. I try to keep my holiday cards as flat as possible to make it easier for mailing but one layer of foam tape shouldn't be too bad :)  Next was the super fun part! I built my little Elf using the Girl Gnome Dies, Gnome Dies: Girl Gnome Face Add Ons, Gnome Dies: Christmas Add Ons 1, Gnome Dies: Christmas Add Ons 2 and the Gnome Faces stamp set. I added her to my card and added some little hearts from the Embellishment Clusters Die along with a couple of white Nuvo drops to finish my card. 

Thank so much for stopping by today and taking a look at my latest creation!

I really appreciate it!
I hope you have a great crafty day!

 Hi everyone & happy July!!

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

This month is... ANYTHING GOES!!

 We would love to see your projects that use some of 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 the card that I created for the challenge:

I love all things Bees and Gnomes so why not combine them?? haha!

I started my card by die cutting some patterned paper using the Card Mat Dies and adhering it to my white card base. I die cut two hexagons using the Stitched Hexagons Die, once from Vellum and again in a honeycomb patterned paper. I adhered my two hexagons together and cut off one edge before adhering it to my card front. I built that adorable little gnomie dressed up like a little bee keeper using the following dies: Girl Gnome Die, Gnome Dies: Girl Gnome Face Add Ons, Gnome Dies: Hair Add Ons, Gnome Dies: Spring Add Ons, Gnome Faces Stamp and using the Gnome Dies for the flower. Once I had her built, I added a little blush to her check using some Copic markers and adhered her to the center of the hexagon. I created my sentiment by stamping the HAPPY from the Happy Hello Add Ons 2 using some Versafine Ink and using the coordinating Happy Hello Add Ons 2 Outline Dies and popping it up with foam adhesive. I used the Buzzing With My Gnomies stamp set to do a little selective stamping. I carefully stamped just the word Bee onto some black cardstock and heat embossed it with white embossing powder, trimming it down and adding it to the top of my card. I added some hearts using the Embellishment Cluster Die and the Banner Dies, along with a few white Nuvo drops, to complete my card. So super cute!

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

Here is a look at what I created using some of the new items.. 

Here's how I made my card....I created a white A2 top folding card and added some patterned paper on top, leaving a small border of the card base showing. I stamped my sentiment from the Tropical Vibes stamp set into the top right corner before starting to build my scene. I added some waves and sand, cut using the Tropical Dies, as well as a Large Palm Tree. I let the tree top hang off of my card a bit and tucked the bottom of the trunk in between the sand and water layers. I built my little girl gnome by using the Girl Gnome Die & the Gnome Dies: Girl Gnome Face Add Ons (NEW). I gave her a little coconut drink and a flower on her hat by using the Gnome Dies: Tiki Add Ons. I built my chair using the Beach Chair Die (NEW)), glued it to my card and added my little gnome on top. I finished my card by adding a little vellum cloud that I cut out using the Spring Dies 2 along with some seashells cut out using the Gnome Dies: Mermaid Add Ons. 

Super cute right? 

I love that these fun little gnomes now have the option for faces!!
