Snow Kissed with Season of Serenity

Good morning and welcome to Power Poppy's Christmas Re-Mix blog hop Day 2. In case you missed yesterday, 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 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!

Found another sunflower stamp

Good morning all. Look what I found in my bin of stamps. It is yet another sunflower stamp that I totally forgot I had. This was from Taylored Expressions and I am sure is retired by now. Just what I needed was another fall card using sunflowers.  :-)  Unless I find another sunflower this is the last of them... or so I think. HA!  Anyways... 


The scraps of paper on the desk were my color inspiration for this card today. All those leaves are so pretty and with turquoise I thought perfect! My sunflowers are colored with various Copic markers then a simple chocolate layer behind the image panel. The strips of designer paper down the side with my sentiment layered onto a few punched shapes. Enamel dots and sparkles to finish it off. Voila! 
Hope you have a wonderful day!

Abundant thanks

Morning. This has to be my favorite fall card I have created this year. I am using Atumun's Opulence that I printed large for my card. I wanted a rather country like feel to this thank you since the person it is going to lives on a farm at this point. hee hee  She would laugh if she heard me say that, but will love it. Anyways... I colored the blooms in various fall colors using Copic markers.


I then die cut using Spellbinders larger oval and decorative ovals that are from ages ago in my die stash. layered some designer paper with faux stitching under the image panel. Wrapped some twine and added some button accents. Some sparkle finishes this off today. Voila!

Birthday Mum's

Good  morning. Another one of the new digi's in Marcy's October digi blitz called I Luv Mum's and oh do I ever. Look at this border of mum's she created. This is a border of mum's, also a single and another you won't want to miss, so check it out. My card is using just the border of mum's today.


This was printed and trimmed down a touch to fit a standard card front. Colored with various Copic markers. A simple birthday sentiment for the center and a few scattered jewels. Voila! 
A few more fall cards coming your way. Have a great day.
