Jolly Ornaments

A new month brings a new challenge at Christmas 24!  

Our theme this month is "Ribbon".  Show us your creativity by adding some ribbon to your creation!

This is a new stamp set for me, it's called Be Jolly by Create a Smile.  I fell in love with the expressions on their faces and had to have the set.  

I colored the images with Copic markers then fussy cut them all.  After deciding where I wanted the baubles I drew the strings then attached the images with pop-dots.  The sentiments are also from the set and I used gold and white embossing powder.  For the card on the right, I added some gold ribbon near the bottom.

Holiday Cheers

 A new month brings a new challenge at Christmas 24!  

Our theme this month is a color one - Green, Gold and Kraft.  Show us your creativity using those three colors in your creation!

While I was reorganizing my craft room I came across some wooden Christmas stamps and found this one that I had forgotten about.  It's called Holiday Cheers by The Uptown Design Company.  

I stamped the image onto Kraft cardstock and used Prismacolor pencils to color the image. It was looking pretty bare so I added some baker's twine, sequins and framed the Kraft cardstock with green and gold-toned cardstock.

Christmas Hugs

Super duper excited to be a part of the Christmas 24 Design Team!  Christmas 24 is a monthly challenge that will get you in the Christmas spirit, motivating you to start creating your Christmas card stash all year round!

Our theme this month is Snowflakes.  Watching snowflakes fall from the sky has to be one of my favorite things to do.  I love winter with lots of snow - those bright, sunny, cold and crisp days, ahhh.

I decided to try something different and pulled out my Snowflake Circle Die by Paper Roses.  I purchased this die last year and even though I had to have it, I never really found a way that I liked to use it - until now.

After using the circle die cut, I fussy cut around the outside of the stitched circle then I started my cardstock strip layering. I used glue to stick the snowflake die over the strips then started trimming.  

I used a snowflake embossing folder for the card face and attached the snowflake circle to the centre.  I cut multiple white layers with my "hugs" die, glued them together and topped it off with a final silver hug.  I stamped "Christmas" with Versamark and sprinkled with silver embossing power, took the heat gun to it then added some pop dots to the back.  To finish it off I added some silver string to the top.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you now have some inspiration to start creating!
