Be Merry

Hi everyone!

I hope you are having a wonderful Friday so far! Any exciting plans for the weekend? I will probably get my Halloween goodies packed away. I'm not ready to decorate for Christmas yet but I am ready to get some Christmas cards ready to go. I sat down and got a Christmas card made for my stash, as well as a few different challenges.

Here are the challenges that I am playing along with:

**Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes**

**Die Cuttin Divas:#444 Anything Goes in October**

&

**Mojo Monday Sketch #526**

Here is a look at the card that I created with the above sketches in mind:

I started by creating an A2 card base from some white cardstock. Following the dimensions on the sketch (love that!!) I added a red cardstock layer and then some fun patterned papers from Doodlebug. I die cut my circle from some snowy paper by Lawn Fawn that just happened to coordinate wonderfully and backed it onto a white circle. I added a snowy hill using a die from Jaded Blossom and added a bit of glitter for some sparkle. I stamped my greeting, colored up those sweet images from Avery Elle with my Copics and popped them up onto my circle with some foam tape. I completed my card with some white doodles, some snowflake sequins and some white Nuvo drops for more added snow. I think this came out so incredibly cute!

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

I really appreciate you taking the time!

I hope you have a great crafty day!!

Clean and Simple Birthday Card

Hi everyone!

I hope you are having a fabulous day so far! I was able to get in my craft room and play a little bit and I made an adorable card (at least I think so) to play along with a few challenges. 

Here is a look at the card that I created and how I created it:

I created my card base from some light pink cardstock and then layered some fun patterned paper strips onto the front. Great way to use up some scraps!! I stamped my greeting onto a piece of gray cardstock with Versamark ink, heat embossed it with some white embossing powder & layered it onto my card. I brought out an older stamp set from MFT to play with and colored that sweet little elephant with my Copic markers. I used a stitched circle die from Jaded Blossom to cut it out and adhered it to my card with some foam tape. I stamped and additional balloon, colored it and fussy cut it out so that it went outside of my die cut circle just a bit. I added a little bow to my elephant and some little sprinkles from Doodlebug to complete my card!

I just adore how this turned out!!!

The challenges I am entering my card into are:

Fluttering By To Say Hi

Hi crafty friends!

Today I wanted to share with you a super simple card that I made with a couple of challenges in mind. It is finally starting to feel like Spring in my area so I had a lot of fun playing with some new stamps and some pretty Spring colors! Here is a look at the card that I made:

I covered my white card base with some Guava cardstock from Lawn Fawn that I cut out using a stitched die from Jaded Blossom. I used that same stitched die to cut out my Perfectly Plaid patterned paper and layered it, making sure to align the stitching. I used a stitched circle from Jaded Blossom and cut it from some white and green cardstock. I created a hill by using the Stitched Hillside Borders from Lawn Fawn. I stamped and colored those adorable images from Lawn Fawn's Butterfly Kisses  to create my little scene, popping up the bunny and butterfly with foam tape for a little dimension. I completed my card by adding a bit of Clear Wink Of Stella to the butterfly, a little bow for the bunny and some white Nuvo drops for the flower centers. I think this turned out so adorable !!!

I will be entering my card into the following challenges:

1. Lawnfawnatics #51: Sketch

Guest Diva for Die Cuttin Diva's

Hi everyone!

I hope you are having a terrific Tuesday!

I'm so excited to be a guest diva for Die Cuttin' Diva's!!

This week's challenge is Holiday.

Here is a look at what I created with the challenge theme in mind:

This was so super simple! I used a file from the Silhouette store called, Santa Petal Box. I thought it would be cute to add a fun little tag so I used the Mini Tag Dies 2 from Jaded Blossom, added a sentiment and some holly and attached it to my box with some white tulle. 

These were so simple to make that I decided to make two and fill them with some soft peppermints. I love having little gifts on hand during the holidays!

I hope you will head over to Die Cuttin' Diva's to join in on the challenge!

I just love this cute little chick from Jaded Blossom! Isn't she darling? 

I covered my card base with some bright yellow patterned paper from Doodlebug. I used the Card Mat Dies from Jaded Blossom to cut out my striped layer as well as my pink square. I colored that adorable chick from the Hey Chickie stamp set and used a Stitched Circle die to cut her out. I added a balloon from the balloon dies and drew my balloon string. I stamped my greeting and finished off my card with some white nuvo drops. So super simple but easy to mail and that is always a plus in my book lol!

Here is the card I created for both challenges:

For my card I used the Super Boy stamp set from MFT and colored him in with my Copics. Once I had him all colored in, I used the Super Boy die from MFT to cut him out. I used some patterned papers from the Comic Hero's paper pad from Recollections. I have had this paper for quite awhile now so I was happy to be able to use some of it up for this card. This was a pretty simple card to put together, thanks to the sketch, and I adore how it turned out!

Snowflake Christmas Card

Hey everyone!

I hope you are having a wonderful Wednesday!

Today I have a simple but pretty Christmas card that I made for a few challenges.

The first challenge is the December Card Sketch challenge over at Scrapbook.com.

I made my card using sketch #3 which is this one by Susan Stringfellow:

Here is the card that I created based on the above sketch:

My card was pretty simple once I had the papers I wanted to use all picked out. For that, I used some pattern papers that I have had in my stash for awhile now and am trying to use them up. I matched up some of my solid cardstock to the colors in the patterns and got busy layering up my card. Once I had all my layers on my card, I added some faux stitching with my gel pen. I used a snowflake die from My Creative Time to cut out my snowflake and then adhered glitter all over the flake. I added some bling, that I have also had for awhile, onto my snowflake and to the bottom and top corners of my card. I finished off my card with some twine. 

I'm entering my card into the following challenges:

~Shopping Our Stash #231: Let It Snow ~

Die Cuttin Divas Guest Diva

Hi everyone and Happy Tuesday!

Today I am excited to be a Guest Diva for Die Cuttin' Divas!

Challenge #240 is a sketch! 

I love sketches!!

Here is the sketch for this challenge:

And here is the card that I created based on the sketch:

I decided to make a tall card. I cut my cardstock 8"x 9" and then folded it in half so that it measures 4" x 9".  This actually fits in a business size envelope and I think the different size makes it fun. I found that super cute "Ho Ho Ho' from the Silhouette online store, design ID 100721. For the darker areas on my die cut, I simply colored them with a copic marker instead of cutting out different colors of cardstock. I added a bit of Wink of Stella Clear to the ornament tops as well as the white on the hat. I also added some red Trendy Twine and some faux stitching with my white gel pen. To finish off the card, I added a few sparkly enamel dots. Sorry the sparkle of the enamel dots and the shimmer from the Wink of Stella aren't showing up very well. It has been so gloomy in my area and could not seem to get a great picture of my card. 

I hope you will head over to Die Cuttin' Diva's and join in on the challenge!

That sketch was super fun!

Hello Friend

Happy Friday!!

Who's ready for the weekend? I know I am!

As I was perusing some challenge blogs last night, I came across a couple that I knew I wanted to play in so I was able to whip up this card to link up.

I know I have already said this but I am having so much fun playing with my Cricut Explore and rediscovering my cartridges! This card went together so easily. I cut out my Hello Kitty from the Hello Kitty Greeting cartridge and sized her to 2.75" in height. I love this Hello Kitty cartridge, it is just one of my all time favorites!

I will be entering this card into these challenges:
