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!

Feature a Sentiment at CASS

Into the month of February already! With a new month comes a new challenge and our theme at Christmas at Sweet Stampin' is "Feature a Sentiment".

I had fun creating this card - in my roaming of Instagram, I came across a card from #mamaelephant and wanted to try out the design.  I'm really happy with how it turned out and it was nice and quick too.

This stamp/die set is  The Big Family of Little Snowman and is so fun to play with.  I used my Cameo to cut out the letters on glitter cardstock and pulled out my snowflake embossing folder for the background.  After I colored up the images I used foam tape to attach everything to the card.

I'm looking forward to making more cards like this featuring different sentiments and different color combos.

I hope to see your creations entered in our challenge!  Have fun and stay warm!

Green and Orange Christmas Joy

I'm finally getting a start on my Christmas cards this year, unlike last year when I was in a mad rush to get them done.

This image is from Bugaboo Digi Stamps, Christmas Words - Joy.  This image is perfect for quick coloring and simple to add to any background.  I colored the images with Copic markers and applied glossy accents to add some dimension.

I added faux stitching around the border and finished it off with twine, button and sequins.  The background paper is from the North Pole collection by Doodlebug Design Inc.

Unlike drawing in faux stitching like the card above, I used my stitched border diecut on this card.  The background paper is from the 6" x 6" paper pad Really Rainbow Christmas by Lawn Fawn. 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope I have provided you with some Christmas inspiration!
