Comet and friend

Rudolph gets all the attention so this is Comet today. hee hee  I adore this Whipper Snapper stamp called Snowman Harmony. I was in my chocolate and cream color mood when I created this. I have them stamped on white cardstock and colored with Various Copic markers. 

The paper is from the Kaiser Kraft Frosted pack and the snowflake scallop is a punched piece from the back. Wrapped some brown ribbon around the top of the snowflake edge and tied a twine and button combo. Added some enamel dots and stickles to finish it off. The sentiment is from the back of the pack also but I am not sure I am too hip on it with the card. However its already glued down so no changing it now. ha ha! The December Dirty Dozen Christmas challenge this month is Animal Love. I would say this fits perfectly. hee hee  Thanks for stopping in today. Have a wonderful day! 

Basket of goodies

Christmas is getting that much closer, how are you on those cards? I only have a few left to make and then I will be onto next years. Yea!  Grabbed my Simple Joys stamp set once again and stamped out this basket of greenry. Oh it just makes me swoon! 

Colored the basket of greenry with various Copic markers. Die cut a stitched rectangle for the image and then the base layer. This is a Z-Fold card with some designer paper added to the base. The inside you can see I lightly stamped the holly in the corner and added some matching flourished jewels to the edge. voila! 

Don't forget out Sweet Treats challenge is still running and you won't want to miss all the additions.

Stuffed Stocking

Morning, how about a little country tag for you today? This tag is using the stocking from Fully Stocked that is colored with various Copic markers then delicately cut around. I wanted to pop this up on dimensionals above the wreath. This wreath die cut is retired from Whiff Of Joy. 

The designer paper is die cut in a layered die wrapped with ribbon and gold cord around the top to hold the bells on. Added some pearls to the wreath and my sentiment tag. Below I tried to get a close up of the Suduko gel pen that I added for sparkle on the stocking. It looks really cool in person, hard to photo. 

Thanks for stopping by, have a wonderful day. 

Peaceful tag

Good morning!  How are those cards and cards and tags coming along? Still have a few more to get to myself then I will be starting on next years. Aaaahhh... don't you love it!  ;-)  

A few weeks back I created a Christmas card using this Bittersweet Wreath. Well how about a tag to go with that card today. This die cut that the wreath is on is retired but it fit perfectly for the size of this printed wreath. Colored with different shades of blue and aqua in the Copic markers. Layered onto some Stitched Mats rectangles die cut in white and blue. Oval die cut the sentiment from Glistening Paperwhites. Wrapped some ribbon around the top with a button. Some silver cord to tie it all together and topped off with sparkle. Voila! Have a wonderful day. 

Extra Kisses on the 5th

Good morning. Did you have a good weekend? We sure had a busy one but what is knew. I guess our Christmas tree would be new. Squeel!!! Yep we picked out our tree and have it standing in all its 10 foot glory in the living room decorated to the max. Smells awesome, looks beautiful and the final touch to the Christmas decor. Aaaaahhhhh... I do love the month of December.  :-) But you didn't come by to hear about that... how about our Digi's on the 5th release from Power Poppy? This one is darling called Stand Here. How fun is that! 

Marcy has some thoughts behind this darling sentiment and sprig of goodness over on the Power Poppy Blog. Be sure to check it out. 

My intention when I saw this was to make a fun hanger sign to go above the front door however time did not allow for that. I will make sure to get that idea done and posted later for you. In the meantime a card will work just fine.  ;-)  I even got to use my new designer paper from ODBD called Holly Jolly. One of the sentiments is printed just below the sprig of mistletoe and then the same size is printed so that I could layer after I colored it. I cut around most of it all expect the parts that had to have the dimensionals to secure on the image panel. Added some piercing around the edges and then sequins and sparkle. Voila!

Candycane Gift

Happy Friday and welcome to the December Power and Spark challenge this month. Christine is our host with a fun Sweet Treats challenge. You know I am all over this challenge. Perfect time to get those little gift sets done or even something for yourself. hee hee Be sure to link your creations back over on the PP Blog so we can see your treats. 

Played with the newest digi called Candy Cane Classic. I really like these three candy canes together and the fact you can resize it is even better. I have a larger one for the card and a smaller one for my box of goodies. My box is using the Mini File Box tutorial which was a perfect fit for these chocolate spoons. Yummy! Added some sparkle to the candy canes on both and some sequins. This designer paper is years and I mean years old, so why not use it today. HA!!  Easy peasy and so fun. Hopefully I can get my next sweet treat finished before I have to give it out. EEK!!! Nothing like cutting it short right. ha ha

Decembers Shepherd Boy

Good Morning.  Gasp!!! It is December 1st, what are you are thinking? I haven't gotten any cards done yet... what am I going to do OR, I have plenty and I am starting on next years cards? woot woot!! Whatever you are thinking, its all good because today is the start of the December Dirty Dozen Christmas Challenge. You can start on this years cards or prepare for next year. We are happy to have you play along. December is going to be Animal Love. Share those lovable creatures with a festive Christmas card. All shapes and sizes are welcome for these animals. 

This is one of my favorite from WOJ stamps before they closed. This is called Henry Riding on a Sheep. He just looks happy as all get out and the sheep's smile is adorable. He is stamped on white cardstock and colored with Copic markers. Die cut an oval shape and layered onto a decorative shape. Added some faux stitching around the designer paper and wrapped a ribbon around with a bow tied off with silver cord. A few die cut snowflakes and sparkles to finish it off. Voila! Hope you can play along this month.
