MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE BLOG (MLCCB) - Christmas Wishes

 

Hello everyone!

I'm here with a new challenge with the Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog. I hope you will come play along with the Christmas Challenge. It will run for six weeks, ending at 4:00 PM Mountain Time on the 15th of next month, so get out your crafty Christmas stash and come play with us!

Here is my card for your inspiration:

I created this beautiful card that I created in an event with Scrapbook & Cards today.  It is a kit that was filled with lots of goodies to make many Christmas cards.  The event was called Merry Christmas Wishes.  

My card was created by stamping the poinsettia and leaves then ink blending it using a stencil.  I die cut the word "wishes", stamped and heat embossed the word "Christmas", cut several strips of paper to create the pattern in the middle of the card.  I assembled the card and love how it turned out.

Thank you so much for stopping g by, please come back again soon.  I hope you will play along with the challenge.

Joy Clair Designs - You've Been on My Mind

Hello everyone!

I am back guest designing with Joy Clair Designs! Today I am sharing the Spring Bouquet Slimline Digital Stamp set. This set is has two bouquet of flowers and some wonderful sentiments for lots of occasions.

To create my card, I printed the images I wanted to use from the Spring Bouquet Slimline Digital Stamp set with my laser printer.  My card is a slimline card measuring 8 5/8 x 3 5/8.  I decided to go monochromatic for the coloring with a little hint of yellow using Copic markers.  For the sentiment, I used my computer to make a black background and then changed the sentiment white. I then used my scan & cut to cut the images.  For my card base, I cut a few layers, using a stencil on the white layer to give the card more interest.  I then used foam tape to pop the image onto the card, and added foam tape to the sentiment also and popped it onto the card.    

I love how the card turned out, I hope you try to create a card using one color.  Joy Clair Stamps has a variety of digital stamps, I hope you stop over and check them out.  

Thank you so much for stopping by, please come back again soon!

Chatterbox Suzy Stamps - Three Pumpkins

Hello everyone!

I am here with Crackerbox Suzy Stamps and I have a Halloween card to share with you today, using two of the newly release stamps.  The first one is Smiling Pumpkin and Pumpkin Plump .  These pumpkins are so adorable and easy to color! 

Here is how I created my card:

My card is an A2 card, I stamped the Smiling Pumpkin first, then masked it off and stamped the Pumpkin Plump on each side of the Smiling Pumpkin with Memento black tuxedo ink.  I then masked the two end pumpkins off and took used some distress ink using a Tim Holtz mini stencil set #22 to create my background.  I then colored the pumpkins using Copic markers.  I die cut the layer with a stitched die and adhered it to my card.

I stamped the Halloween sentiment from Bats in a Belfry, I die cut it out with a stitched pennant and used foam tape to pop it up on my card.  I finished the card off by adding some Nuvo Aqua Shimmer - Glitter Gloss to give the pumpkins some shimmer. 

Another look at my card.
