Grandma's Favorite variety

Good morning and welcome to Power Poppy's Christmas Re-Mix blog hop Day 5. We have a blog hop that is going from Nov 20th thru Dec 2nd. You might find new digi's, a Black Friday Sale, Cyber Monday sale and even a small business sale, and did I mention a SURPRISE?



A variety of favorites will be shared today across the blogs. One that I like a lot but have used little is the Grandma's Snowflakes which is just darling. Not to mention it has a matching die set that goes with the set. I will show you the die and the stamp with my card. 

How about this gold shimmery paper? I had die cut the snowflake shape using a smaller piece and was going to leave just the snowflake negative. Then I thought why not stamp and cut around the matching snowflake and pop it up. I like how that turned out. The base layers has a snowflake texture added with the sentiment below. Tied some ribbon and gold cord around the bow with a few pearls. Yep you guessed it, suduko gel pen added to the snowflake as well. Voila!  See you back here tomorrow.

Spice it up with Winter Flora

Good morning and welcome to Power Poppy's Christmas Re-Mix blog hop Day 4.  We have a blog hop that is going from Nov 20th thru Dec 2nd.  In those days you will find some new digis, Black Friday Sale, Cyber Monday sale and even a small business sale, and did I mention a SURPRISE?



Today's activities are using Spice it Up and the new Winter Flora. Oh you HAVE to check out this new digi. My creation using that will wait since I played with Spice it Up for.  But I am willing to share a little tease with you. :-)

This little orange, can you smell it through the screen with the spice scent? I can but its only because I have a Scensy going that smells like it. ha ha  Anyways... Using up more of the gold shimmery paper, I told you that I was going to use all of it I could this year. 

Stamped the orange and colored with various Copic markers, then cut around to pop up on the base. More swiss dots and some gold cord and a few gold sequins. The ribbon on the image does have suduko gel pen added to it as well.  Voila! See you back here tomorrow.

O Holy night

Good morning and welcome to Power Poppy's Christmas Re-Mix blog hop Day 3. We have a blog hop that is going from Nov 20th thru Dec 2nd. GASP!!! In those days you might find a Black Friday Sale, Cyber Monday sale and even a small business sale, and did I mention a SURPRISE? So let's get to today's activities.



My card today is using O Holy Night and if you don't have this stamp set, check out the digi Snowy Church. This has such a wintry feel with the snow capped trees and the snow built up around the edge of the church. 

Very little coloring on this as I wanted the moon light background to be the main color to help bring out the light inside the church. More of the gold shimmery paper for the base designer paper frame.

This is a close up at an angle to see the suduko gel pen on the window light also. Added the punched green sprigs with a punched poinsettia to the left corner. Finished off with the sentiment and some pearls. Voila! See you back here tomorrow.

We sure are, in fact we have a blog hop that is going from Nov 20th thru Dec 2nd. GASP!!! I know right.

So let's get to today's activities with my  Snow Kissed  creation and the new digi called Season of Serenity. You can check out the details on this awesome new digi on the Power Poppy Blog. I am only going to share a snippet of my Season of Serenity card as I am saving that for another day. But a tease is always nice, right? hee hee 

This snowman is just adorable with his little potted tree isn't he. I kinda like him in the burgundy and gold colors don't you?  Sticking with my colors of gold and burgundy as you can see. 

My base layer has some textures using swiss dots embossing folder one of my all time favorite textures. Colored the image with various Copic markers. Several gold enamel dots and sparkle for accents, not to mention the large gold shimmery snowflake die for the back edge. Voila!

Christmas Re-Mix Day 1 Poinsettia

Good morning and welcome to Power Poppy's Christmas Re-Mix blog hop Day 1. That's right, we are going to be sharing some stamp sets you have seen before or maybe they are new to you AND some new digi's releasing with a surprise. Excited? We sure are, in fact we have a blog hop that is going from Nov 20th thru Dec 2nd. GASP!!! I know right. In those days you might find a Black Friday Sale, Cyber Monday sale and even a small business sale, and did I mention a SURPRISE?



So let's get to today's activities, but first I wanted to share with you that the creations you see the next 12 days are a little out of my normal color schemes. No blues, whites or silver even. What you say!! That's right I stepped out of the normal colors and decided to finally use this gold shimmery paper I bought years ago and my more of my Suduko gel pen for quite a few cards. I really like how all the creations turned out. You were warned. hee hee

This is Poinsettia one of my all time favorites. I have quite a few but this one always makes me smile. No need to worry if you don't have the stamp set, check out the digi version Poinsettia and Pomegranates. I have the poinsettia colored with various Copic markers and then I cut around the image so that I could pop it up on the main panel. This designer paper was the only "new" thing on this card and it was a perfect match to the shimmery gold paper I have. 

Here is a close up at an angel for you to see not only the suduko gel pen I added to the leaves but the gold paper. These pictures do not do it justice I am telling you what. But I do love how this turned out. Some faux stitching around the edges, my sentiment and some sequins. Voila! Now hop along below and see you back here tomorrow.

November Christmas Bough

Happy Friday and November Dirty Dozen Christmas challenge. This months theme is fun and I hope you check it out HERE and play along with us. 

I just adore the feel of this card from the colors of the papers to the mitten image. This is using Bough Wow Wow stamp set. Stamped the image onto white card stock and colored with various Copic markers. 

After I was done coloring I die cut using an ODBD die for the shape. My designer paper was my color inspiration for this card. The yellow and chocolate just make me smile. Stamped the sentiment along the side with some added sparkle.
Then wrapped some ribbon around the base and tied off a heart button with some twine, then last bit with enamel dots. Voila!
