Merry Christmas sketch challenge

Hello! Today I am sharing a Christmas card I made for the sketch challenge over at Sunday Stamps!.  Here's the challenge:

And here's what I made:

What a great sketch. It was a lot of fun putting this card together. Here are the supplies I used:
Merry Everything Clear-mount Stamp Set Trim the Tree Designer Series Paper Stack Frosted Sequins Crumb Cake 8-1/2 x 11 Card Stock Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine Window Frames Collection Framelits Die
I also stamped the snowflake stamp from the HOLIDAY HOME stamp set in White craft ink behind Mr. Santa.  Mr. Santa is from a retired SU stamp set.  To make the "tag" I ran just the top part of a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock thru my Big Shot using the WINDOW FRAMES Framelits.  Then I just trimmed the sides off to make a tag.  I also used my Cherry Cobbler, Smoky Slate and Skin Tone Blendabilities along with a green and black copic marker to color Mr. Santa.   And a Christmas card can not be complete unless it sparkles, right? So, I added Dazzling Diamonds glitter to Santa's suit. : )

Well, I am about 1/2 finished with my Christmas cards. I would like to get them done by next week, if at all possible.  Happy Stamping!

Silly Old Bear Suite

 Happy Friday! Today, I have 2 very cute creations to share with you using the Silly Old Bear Suite . One Pooh Bear is a die cut right from the Silly Old Bear 12" x 12" DSP , while the other Pooh Bear is stamped in Early Espresso ink and colored with the new Golden Glow Stampin' Blends. Every image on 2 sheets of the Silly Old Bear 12" x 12" DSP can be die cut out using the Sweet Old Friends Dies !  How cool is that?! The first card I made (on the right side) uses the new In Color Crisp Cantaloupe.  I stamped the frame from the Sweet Old Words   Stamp Set using Crisp Cantaloupe and die cut it out using the coordinating Sweet Old Words Dies followed by another Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock layer.   I also die cut 2 honey pot images from the Silly Old Bear 12" x 12" DSP and a tree stump from the Sweet Old Friends Dies.    I created a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" money holder card using a 7 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock scored ...

Quilt card

This is a quilt card I made back in January at my up line's (Chris Smith) home.  I added the embossed flower using  the Daydream Medallions stamp set along with the SAB stamp set Madison Avenue .  These two stamp sets work well together.  The flower petals were made with  the Floral Frames Framelits die.  I will probably store these two sets together. : )  Recipe: Daydream Medallions, Madison Avenue (SAB) and Vintage Verses (SAB) stamp sets; Sycamore Street DSP (SAB), Island Indigo and Tangerine Tango card stock; Island Indigo, Versa Mark pad inks; White Emb. powder, Floral Frames Framelits, Postage Stamp punch, Square Lattice Emb. Folder, Pool Party SAB button and Whisper White Bakers Twine. Enjoy your day!  I have limited time to create my youngest child's birthday card...which is tomorrow!  Happy Stamping, and hope you get to stamp a latte!

Lovely Arrangements Bundle

 Hello, crafty friends!  Today, I am sharing a birthday card I made for a friend using the Lovely Arrangements Bundle. These large and beautiful flowers are paired with the Lovely Blossoms 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper. The flowers were stamped using Secret Sea ink onto Basic White cardstock and were then colored with Cloud Cover Stampin' Blends. For fun, I added 1/2" punched circles to the centers of the flowers using retired Night of Navy glossy paper. The sentiment was stamped using Secrete Sea ink and was then cut down with my paper trimmer.  The flowers and sentiment were adhered to my card front using Dimensionals. For the background, I die cut 2 sets of Secrete Sea  cardstock "circle clusters" and adhered them to a rectangle die cut piece of Cloud Cover cardstock followed by 2 pieces of Lovely Blossoms DSP. Next, I added 3 sets of Old Olive die cut leaves around my flowers, a Night of Navy bakers twine bow, and a few white embellishments to finish...
