Warm Christmas Wishes

Morning! My card today is using Cuddle in the Cabin. Does this not look like the most inviting little cottage? I would like to just jump into the scene I tell you. Mind you not driving there in the snow though. ha ha  If we can figure out how to make it snow everywhere but the roads I would be happy. Anyways.... I added a few deer and trees stamped to the bottom right for a bigger scene than the first time I used the set. 


Colored with Copic markers then a little scalloped edge to the left. Layered onto some designer paper that was my color influences. Tied a button and twine combo for the bottom edge and then sparkles to finish it off. Voila! 
2020 has been a difficult and challenging year for us all in different ways. My prayers are that you are able to see God's provision and grace through the past months. Many blessings to you and your loved ones this Christmas and a fruitful New Year!

12 Days of Christmas day 12


Today is day 12 and the final day of the Power Poppy 12 days of Christmas. Marcy has a bunch of prize info and sale going on over on the Power Poppy Blog for you to check out. While you are there be sure to check out  Nancy's post using the new Mossy pots with Paperwhites or the digi version. 

I played with Garden of Gratitude instead today since I just made tags with the other. How about this little tree in the set? Oh how fun. My uncle in Hawaii will appreciate this card. I thought the pink in the designer paper was a great accent color for the traditional ones so I went with it. 


The image is colored with various Copic markers. I pierced around the edge of the main panel and just the left edge of the base layers. Wrapped some silver cord around the pink piece and tied of my sentiment with a button and silver cord. Sparkles on the leaves and voila!

Thanks for joining us in our 12 days of Christmas!

I finally did get to ink up this set Enchanted Branches Woodland and oh what fun this set is. Now I will have to say practice with the "moss" that goes on the branches first as you can tell I did not. darn it... I think I need to look at more branches and practice a bit but I do like how this turned out over all. 


Hung the ornaments on the branches and colored with Copic markers. Added some faux stitching around the edge panel and then some ribbon around the base designer paper layer. Faux stitching to the sentiment panel and then some enamel dots and sparkles to finish it off Voila!

12 Days of Christmas day 8


Today is day 8 of the Power Poppy 12 days of Christmas. Marcy has a bunch of prize info and sale going on over on the Power Poppy Blog for you to check out. While you are there be sure to check out  Gloria's  post using the new Joy to the World Bouquet or the digi version. 

This is not your traditional color theme however at the same time it is warm and sorta is.. sorta. ha! Okay the designer paper is what gave me the color choices for this card. Those gingerbread men were so cute and the cookie and stars were all chocolate and warm feeling. 


I started with coloring the berries brown to start. Then I figured warm yellowish and orangish hues for the two flowers that had hints of browns. The poinsettia even has a little warm hues with the added yellow to the leaves. Tie off a brown button and some sequins and voila! In my mind this turned out just perfect! :-) 

Now head on over to the Power Poppy Blog! See you back here tomorrow.

12 Days of Christmas day 7


Today is day 7 of the Power Poppy 12 days of Christmas. Marcy has a bunch of prize info and sale going on over on the Power Poppy Blog for you to check out. While you are there be sure to check out  Barbara W post using the new Let It Glow or the digi version. 

Oh what fun you can have with this set. I actually had a request for some handmade gift cards but not the traditional ones you think. They were going to give a dollar amount but didn't want to just give money. So they thought how about a card saying how much and then they will tuck the money in later. These turned out super cute and they were really happy. 



I strung the lights along the top and then hand drew lines they requested. Colored with Copic markers and layered onto cardstock. Pierced around the edges and added a few sequins stamped around and sparkles to everything. Voila! 
Hope you are enjoying the 12 days so far. Head on over to the Power Poppy Blog and I will see you back here tomorrow.

12 Days of Christmas day 6


Today is day 6 of the Power Poppy 12 days of Christmas. Marcy has a bunch of prize info and sale going on over on the Power Poppy Blog for you to check out. While you are there be sure to check out  Barbara C post using the new Enchanted Branches Nativity or the digi version. 

I am seriously behind in my gift tags this year. A lot of people look forward to them on their gifts. I think it adds a sweet and thoughtful touch as well. These didn't take too long to create and I know you are thinking I am nuts since you see all that fussy cutting. But honestly that is what took the longest. 


The stamps really do all the work for you. I put the sentiment along the side of the sweet little lamb and a star above. I stamped, colored and cut around two sprigs of greenry for each tag. Die cut with a decorative die, layered onto green cardstock and then die cut with another die the base layer in designer paper. Wrapped the ribbon and tied it off with some buttons. Sequins and sparkles to finish it off. Okay they may have taken a little longer but I only made 3 of these so not too bad.  ;-)  
Head over to the Power Poppy Blog for more eye candy and all the prize info and links etc. Whohoo!!! Have fun!

After he was colored and die cut with a circle I matched a scallop circle layer underneath. A stitched rectangle die for the base with a matching green layer. A few die cut poinsettia's and pearl accents. I took this up right so you could see the hints of sparkle.  :-)  Voila!

12 Days of Christmas Day 2


Today is day 2 of the Power Poppy 12 days of Christmas. Marcy has a bunch of prize info and sale going on over on the Power Poppy Blog for you to check out. While you are there be sure to check out Catherine's post using the new Heavenly Dove and Peace stamp or digi version. 

Colored up the new set myself and tried to get some mojo going for cards and tags. I am really behind this year, ack! This did not quite match what I had planned but I do like the over all end product. My dove is colored with various Copic markers and then die cut with the matching shape for the base layer die cut. 


The designer paper was pretty smooth cutting with the die which made me super happy. Layered that onto some dark burgundy paper and then the green base. Tied in a die cut poinsettia and some pearls for accents. A little sparkle on the doves feathers and voila! 
Now head on over to the Power Poppy Blog to check out Catherine's post and all the goodies Marcy has going on. Have a great day!

Quite a Christmas part two Cuddle In The Cabin

Good Afternoon and welcome to Power Poppy's Quite a Christmas release part two. If you missed part one check back on the PP Blog HERE for the start and all the sets both parts. Marcy has drawn a total of 10 new stamp sets/digital for you. These are all available in digital format or in stamp form. More information from Macy and noes on all the sets can be found on the Power Poppy Blog each day. Get ready and enjoy!


Today we are sharing with you Cuddle In The Cabin. Don't you just love the wintry scene of a cottage and snow all tucked back like a hide away. More times that not I wish I had a cabin to go to just for quite and serene feel of it all. Anyhow...My creation today is using Prisma colored pencils after I stamped my cottage onto kraft card stock. 


Before I stamped the sentiment I also stamped in light gray ink the extra tree in the set for a background of the sentiment. Didn't quite turn out like I thought it would but it doesn't look too bad. Die cut a heart out in red to bring out the chimney and the word heart in the sentiment. Added a wood button and some twine to the edge and voila!

Christmas Wreath

Good morning. Welcome to the November Dirty Dozen Christmas challenge. You can find this months challenge HERE
This months challenge is one I had a totally different plan for and then I went another direction with it. I will have to work on my first idea later this month. I went with Berry Sweet Holiday for my card today. 



I colored this wreath with various Copic markers and added sparkles. My pennant layer is sponged with orange ink before I removed the die to bring our more of the orange in the wreath. A red lace trim down the edge along with some orange twine tied off the edge. Scattered some enamel dots for accents and voila! Hope you can play along with us this month.
