'Tis the Season with Gingerbread Cookies

'TIS THE SEASON is the theme for our new challenge at Creative Knockouts!

We have a fabulous sponsor so make sure to upload your creation for your chance to win a special prize from Pattie's Creations!

I took the image Ginger Bread Cookie and copied it multiple times in different sizes then went to work coloring with Copic markers.  The black background was created by coloring with the black marker, spritzed with gold shimmer spray.  I used the Merry die-cut on gold as well as two layers of black cardstock to created some dimension.  The word "Christmas" was embossed using gold embossing powder.

Something Die-cut - Joy to the World

Join me for our new challenge over at Christmas with the Cuties!  Our theme for this challenge is "Something Die-Cut" - we want you to include a die-cut somewhere on your card and don't forget, your creation must be Christmas themed and feature a cute image.  

We are a JUST FOR FUN challenge and I hope you will continue to play along for your chance to proudly display our Winners or Top 3 Badge.

I created this card using die-cuts from Swirly Scribbles by Stampin Up! to create my own kinda wreaths and Double Joy by Poppy Stamps. To create the white frame, I used my Silhouette Cameo and applied with foam tape to the designer paper from the B&W Christmas Collection by Paper Roses Studio and the sentiment was computer generated. To finish it off I added some gemstones.

Now it's your turn to show us your Christmas project and make sure you check out the Design Team's creations for some inspiration and remember - projects must be Christmassy and have to be Cute!

It Moose be Christmas

Meet Elvis Wesley Moose, Hot Chocolate Time by Polkadoodles.  I colored Elvis Wesley with Copic markers and outlined a few areas with a white gel pen.  The textured background was created using Cable Knit Sweater embossing folder by Stampin Up! and the sentiment is from Merry Christmoose by Sugarpea Designs.

Fall is in the Air at Creative Knockouts

FALL IS IN THE AIR is the theme for our new challenge at Creative Knockouts!

We have a fabulous sponsor so make sure to upload your creation for your chance to win a special prize from Dr. Digi's House of Stamps!

This Cuddly Critter Squirrel was colored with Copic markers then using my fave (ok, not so fave) technique, fussy cutting around the critter.  The background paper is from the Sweater Weather Collection by Lawn Fawn.

The white cardstock was sprayed with Antiqued Bronze mica spray by Tim Holtz then stamped with the sentiment by Lawn Fawn. After putting the layers together I applied foam tape to the back of the cardstock and said cuddly critter and finished it off with a few pieces of sequins.

 Christms Bingo Challenges has a new challenge ready to go for you!

CBC will feature a new Bingo card for each challenge and while this isn't your typical game of BINGO, you are required to use at least three items in ONE column.

We are a "just for fun" challenge where you will have the chance to proudly display our Winner or Top Pick Badge!

My choice was the "O" column - Layers, Stitching, Twine and Rectangle.

I found this stamp and matching die set, Ugly Sweater Party by PhotoPlay at a craft sale this summer and have been itching to use it since then.  I used Copics to color the images and applied the red background paper (Tulla & Norbert's Christmas Party Collection) to white cardstock and added faux stitching using a white gel pen.  Foam squares were used to mount the sweaters and smaller foam circles for the hats.  

So glad you stopped by and I look forward to seeing your creation!
