Hello everyone!

I am back again as Guest Designer for the month of November, with Jaded Blossom! Did you see the latest release? I am loving the add on's for the Gnome dies.  Today I am featuring the Large Gingerbread Girl Stamp Set.  

Here is my card for your inspiration using the Large Gingerbread Girl Stamp Set.  My card is an A2 card measuring 4 1/4 X 5 1/2. 

I started by using the Gumdrop Stencil and inked it up using rainbow colors.  I added some Glitz Glitter on the second layer of the stencil.  I then colored the gingerbread girl using copic markers (E31, E35, E57 and E79).  I then paper pieced the icing and the bow on the gingerbread girl.  I wanted to match the background with rainbow colors.  The bow I used pop dots to give it some dimension.  The paper I used was Lawn Fawns Really Rainbow 6x6 paper pad.  

To finish off the card, I added some enamel hearts down the front of the gingerbread girl.  I heat embossed the sentiment from the Gnome Baked Stamp Set.

I hope you have been inspired and try to recreate my card.  I enjoyed making this rainbow inspired card.

Hello everyone!

I am here with Newton's Nook Designs featuring the Newton's Candy Cane Stamp Set and coordinating dies. This is an adorable set, perfect to send out for your Christmas cards.

The card is an A2 card, for the top layer I used the Meowy Christmas Paper Pad that features the same candy cane kitty image and cut candy piece. I love how some of Newton's stamps have matching paper. I colored the images with alcohol markers added glitter to the white portions of the Santa hat and candy piece for some sparkle! I cut the images out using the coordinating Newton's Candy Cane Die Set.  I added some glossy accents to the little heart.

I layered a vellum oval over the center, cut out using our Oval Frames Die Set. The message "Wishing you a SWEET holiday!" from the Newton's Candy Cane Stamp Set was embossed onto the oval. I added a couple of pine boughs to the top of the oval, cut out using our Pines & Holly Die Set, for a festive touch!
