Holiday Bling




Hello everyone from 
Try Stamping (or Not) on Tuesday.  

The challenge this week is a sketch challenge (see below for sketch) and the theme is
Holiday Bling and Glitz.

For my card, I started with a Santa image that I had and I cut it with MFT scalloped circle die.  I cut a larger scalloped circle out of white cs to frame our Santa.  I then grabbed a bit of green and white glitter card stock from my Christmas pad.  I then cut some red vellum on a diagonal to match the sketch.  I added the sentiment with dimensional squares and more glitter snow flakes and sequins about to bling it up more.  All of this added to a side fold green cs base.

Ho Ho Ho.


Here is the sketch for this challenge:









I hope you have fun playing along with us.

Winter Westie


Hello everyone ....
It's time for another cookie challenge at
"If you Give a Crafter a Cookie"

Here is the cookie for this challenge




The sponsor for this challenge is and I am using The Winter Westie and I used both markers, colored pencils and distress ink on the image.  The scarf was done in marker.  The Westie was done in pencils of different grays to blend the fur and the background was sponged in Cracked Pistachio.  It was framed with black cs that I used a Martha Steward edge punch for the scalloped edge and then framed again teal cs.  The front panel is gold mylar from DCWV that I absolutely love.   The sentiment is from MFT and stamped in gold embossing powder on teal cs and trimmed to fit the front panel.  All of this was added onto a blue cs side fold base.
I hope you have fun playing along with the challenge this round and I wish you the best of luck.

Gift Card Envelope



Hello everyone
I have an amazing challenge for you from
The Crafters Cafe Challenge.

This challenge the theme is to make an envelope


The sponsor for this challenge is 
My Stitch in Twine. 


For my card, I'm using  Gingerbread Girl.
I colored her in both marker, colored pencils and glitter gels.
I trimmed is down to the very edge of the digi.
I dry embossed with a basket weave folder and then folded it down to accept the tag with the gift card attached.  I cut the curve at the top with a 1 1/2 inch hole punch.
The tag was blended in a bunch of rainbow colors of distress inks and the 4 U was added by hand.

I added the ribbon to make it easier to pull the tag from the envelope.

I wish you all the best of luck in the challenge and I'm looking forward to want you can craft up.

Have a great crafting day.

Christmas Stocking


Hello everyone
It's time for another challenge at
Scrap from Your Heart.

This month we have a theme of
Christmas !

For my card, I am using a digi stamp from Beccy's Place.  I used markers on the image and then inked faux stitching on the stocking using glitter gels.  I then blended Candied Apple distress ink from the edge towards the image.  I framed it with green cs.  The front panel is designer paper from Recollections.  I set the image on an angle and raised the entire image with dimensional tape. The sentiment was inked with Seedless Preserved distress ink and attached with dimensional tape as well.
I added green, purple and gold sequins and some clear crystal acrylic stones scattered about.
All was added to a cherry red side fold cs base.
