Santa's Sleigh

Love

Hello stampers!  Have you ever used a product and liked it so much that you wonder why you've waited so long to try it?  That's exactly how I feel right now!  I've been hoarding these gorgeous Fancy Foil Designer Acetate sheets for months now.  Today was one of the first days that I used them.  I gotta say- I love them!  They are so beautiful!

The polka dots sheet that I used above can either be gold or silver (depending on which side you choose to display).  I used gold.  For some reason when I think of love I think of gold!  

Thanks for stopping by!

Last Call...

Hey there stampers!   Its just about time to say goodbye to the gorgeous Thoughtful Branches stamp set and coordinating Beautiful Branches thinlits.  If you are even remotely considering purchasing these beautiful items please do so ASAP!  They are only available until August 31st and then they will disappear! Poof!  Gone...

This stamp set and coordinating thinlits bundle has been one of my go-to sets for the month of August!  It's so versatile.  The images are gorgeous and I love the sentiments.  

It is often said that a Cardinal is representative of a loved one who has passed.  When you see a Cardinal- it means your loved one is visiting.   I saw 2 cardinals outside the other day just sitting in a tree. They were the inspiration for my card....and the sentiment as well....Always in my heart. 

Monday Montage #76

Hello there and welcome back for the bi-weekly Monday Montage blog hop. I'm so happy you joined us!  Be sure to visit all of the stops to see what other fabulous projects we have created to share with you.

My card for tonight was created using the Jolly Friends stamp set and coordinating Jolly Hat Builder Punch. This is a super simple card to create so it's perfect for making multiples!


The Mica Flakes Trio Pack are the perfect addition to the hat.  The irridescent colored ones make the perfect fluff on Santa's hat!  If you have never used the Mica Flakes- I strongly suggest you try some!      I use the Multipurpose Adhesive to make them adhere.

Jolly Friends

Hello!  Are you ready for another sneak peek from the upcoming Holiday Catalog? If so- you've come to the right place!   I've got an adorable card to share with you tonight!  It was created using the Jolly Friends stamp set.  All I have to say about this set is look at that MOOSE!  He is just way too stinkin' cute!

The Jolly Friends stamp set coordinates with the Jolly Hat Builder Punch.  What a fun way to add that extra special touch to your Christmas cards!  See the little teeny tiny bell at the end of the Moose's hat?  It's a Mini Jingle Bell!  Yep- those lil' cuties are in the Holiday Catalog as well!

Merry Christmas!

Ok.  So I know it's not Christmas...but I have a gorgeous Christmas card to share with you today!  At the beginning of the month I fell in love with a tag that Connie Collins had designed for the Artisan Design Team blog hop.  On that tag, she created a beautiful flower using the Thoughtful Branches stamp set and the coordinating Beautiful Branches thinlits.  Her flower was just gorgeous and I knew I needed to create one of my own!  

For my flower- I stamped the leaf image in VersaMark ink onto Vellum and embossed it with Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder.  I then cut each leaf out with the Beautiful Branches thinlits.  I used a 3/4" Whisper White circle as the base for the flower.  I then began gluing the leaves in layers until they resembled a flower.  

You may have noticed that my layers have a border- To create that- using Washi Tape- I taped off a square around the outer edges of my layers.  I inked the edges in VersaMark ink and embossed them with Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder.  Unfortunately the picture does not do this card justice.  It is absolutely gorgeous in person!

Cookie Cutter Christmas

Oh Em Squeeee! I have an absolutely adorable card to share!  I used the Cookie Cutter Christmas stamp set and the coordinating Cookie Cutter Builder Punch.  This stamp set is seriously the cutest!  It's definitely on the MUST HAVE list!  

The image above is my favorite from the set.  I love how the outfits can be customized by changing the colors!  See the adorable little furry trim?  It was created using Multipurpose Adhesive and the brand new Mica Flakes.  WAY too cute!!!
