A County Christmas

This card #2 has a country feel to me for some reason! It makes me think of my In Laws for some reason! I have always loved stars so the Stitched Stars bundle was at the top of my pre-order list back in August. One of the great demonstrator perks is being able to pre-order product before customers can. It allows me to order my favourites and play around. I paired these dies with the Subtles embossing folder from the Annual Catalogue (a must have in my opinion) with the sprig from the Christmas Layers dies. I feel like these dies are overlooked in the holiday catty. They are part of the Itty Bitty Christmas bundle on page 16. Make sure to give them a second look. The phrase I borrowed from the Still Scenes stamp set on pg 43. And the Frosted & Clear Epoxy Droplets just add the perfect touch. I love everything about this card!

Say What? A Christmas Card a Day in November?

That is right friends! I am going to post a Christmas card a day for the entire month of November to get you into the ultimate Christmas spirit while fueling your crafty side! This is also an awesome challenge for myself as I tend to buy (don’t tell my hubby) a good portion of the holiday sets in the catalogue. Sadly, I end up finding it hard to even break them all out to stamp! So this is a treat fo me too! Please comment on your favourite cards! It will help me decide which ones would be great for classes!

My card #1 features the Yummy Christmas stamp set (150501) which is a steal of a deal at only $20! It coordinates with the Cuckoo Clock Dies from the Annual Catalogue (pg 192). I made a dozen of these for a swap and I have to say I enjoyed casing it from the catalogue! I loved colouring the gingerbread houses as I do find colouring with the Blends quite relaxing. I used the Soft Suede blends for the house and then the Bronze blend for the gingerbread man. And I LOVE the Toile Tidings Glitter Enamel dots! They just add that little extra to a project!

See you tomorrow for another Christmas card idea!

Happy Wicked Creepy Spooky Halloween

I pulled out all the stops to create this fun and bright Halloween page! I included sentiments from the Word Wishes dies (from the last few posts you can tell I am really into this set of dies!), the Wicked dies and the Spooktacular Bash stamp set. I had to add a cute little monster, he is just a ‘little creepy’ from the Boo to You stamp set plus some spooky spiders and itsy bits bats! I hope you have a fun day celebrating with your families today!
