My Favorite Things Stamps...Snow Cool!

Hello Stampin' Friends! I made this card last night to add to my Christmas card pile. I think this little PI Snowboard Boy is sooooo cute and I teamed him up with these gorgeous BasicGrey Nordic Holiday 6x6 papers. I used lots of Die-namics on this card again...LOVE my Die-namics! When I stamped the PI boy I decided to add the wee ski mask that comes in the set. I inked up the image and then wiped away one of the black lines that make a stripe on the hat with a baby wipe before stamping it. I then stamped the image and then the mask and drew in the strap with a black Copic Multi-liner pen. I coloured the image with my Copics and then cut out around the image and pop dotted it on the circle panel.

I made the snow moguls by layering the Jumbo Scalloped border and WoNkY border Die-namics and then cut them again with my Circle Nestie so they would fit perfectly on the panel. I embellished with some snowflakes cut with the Let it Snow Die-namics and added BG brads to the centres. I used the Mini Pennants Die-namics and stamped two different words from two of the sentiments in the set to make this "punny" sentiment. I also used the Icicles Border Die-namics and some Stone Twinery Twine with a BG button.

Here is the inside....I stamped a shadow image of the Snowboard PI boy and stamped a sentiment that comes in PI Holiday Hugs Snowman set and used the Sweet Stack Die-namics with more Let it Snow Snowflakes.

Thanks for stopping by and having a wee peek at my card and be sure to swing by Kim's blog for a list of all the MFT DT and GDT who have cards for Day 2 of the MFTeaser Time!

Happy Stampin'!

My Favourite Things...Exciting news and December Teaser Time Day 1...Who's that Girl & Who's That Guy?!

Hello stampin' friends! So glad that you stopped by today! I have some VERY exciting news...YAY!!! I was asked to be a Guest Designer for the My Favorite Things Stamps December Release along side 6 other super duper creative stampers and fellow MFT fans. I am so excited...this is a dream come true!!! Head on over to Kim's blog to see the full list of MFT DT and GDT that have Teasers today!

Well, I have been busy working away on some exciting MFT projects for the new December release, it has been such a blast and I am thrilled to get to share them now!!! I know you are going to LOVE the new release! First up for Teaser Time Day 1 is....Who's that Girl? and Who's that Guy?! This gorgeous set is called May I have this Dance? It is perfect for so many occasions, New Year's Eve, Prom, Anniversary, wedding cards and the list goes on. I have also used the fabulous new Skyline Border Die-namics die that will be available in the new release on December 6th at 10:00 PM EST.

I coloured the Who's that Girl? and Who's that Guy? image with my Copics and teamed it up with some gorgeous BasicGrey Little Black Dress 6x6 patterned papers. I cut the Skyline Die-namics border from thin adhesive chipboard and layered several together to make it a bit thicker. I coloured the windows on the chipboard with a yellow Copic marker and adhered the patterned paper on top. I also used the Perfect Bracket Edge Border Die-namics to add a night sky behind the Skyline Border Die-namics. The sentiment comes in the set and I stamped it on patterned paper cut with the ribbon die from the First Place Award Ribbon Die-namics Die.

Here is the inside of the card...I added a shadow image of the WTG/WTG by carefully removing the ink on the line that surrounds the image with a baby wipe. I added another Skyline Border Die-namics and another one of the great sentiments that comes in this set.

My Favorite Things Stamps...WSC # 47....Warm Winter Wishes!

Hello stampin' friends! I am just popping on here quickly tonight before Castle starts to share a card that I made for the My Favorite Things Wednesday Stamp Club Sketch challenge #47. I decided to try and keep this card simple so this is my take on a CAS card. I bought this 6x6 pad of Authentique Christmas paper called Wonder the other day and I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it....such gorgeous papers!

This card came together so quickly with just one sheet of patterned paper but it looks like lots of layers...love that! I also wanted to ink up this super cute MFT WTG set called Who's that Girl Gets Cozy with Cocoa. I coloured the image with my Copics and paper pieced her scarf and gloves and used one of the super cute sentiments that comes in this set. 

Here is the inside...I stamped the mug of hot cocoa that comes in the set and another sentiment from the set and I used the Well Worn Greetings Die-namics. 

Well, thanks for stopping by and having a wee peek at my card!

My Favorite Things Stamps...WSC # 46....Warm Winter Wishes!

Hey stampin' friends! Hope you all had a fabulous weekend. I am just quickly popping on here to post this card that I made on the weekend for the My Favorite Things Stamps, Wednesday Stamp Club # 46 Challenge. I loved this week's sketch and I plan to use it again for some more Christmas cards that I have to make. This week I decided to ink up this precious snowman from the Pure Innocence set called, Holiday Hugs and I teamed him up with this festive Echo Park Season's Greetings 6x6 papers. I did a little colouring with my Copics and paper pieced his scarf. I left the image in the die and inked with Old paper and Tumbled Glass Distress inks. I used the MFT Bracket Tab Die-namics and stamped one of the sentiments that comes in the Holiday Hugs set and then cut around the outer edge of the Die-nmaics die with my Fiskars Finger-Grip Craft Knife on a glass mat to create a mat for the bracket tab.

the sketch called for a flower embellishment but I decided to switch it with a little cluster of corrugated cardboard hearts cut with the Hearts of Plenty Die-namics dies. I painted the edges of the hearts with Picket Fence Crackle paint, cut a few Snowflakes from cork material with the Let it Snowflakes Die-namics Dies and added some BasicGrey Buttons tied with hemp twine. The tiny heart is cut with the heart die from the Notched Tag Stamps and Die-namics set. I also layered the Jumbo Scallop and Scalloped Scallop border Die-namics but then kinda covered it up with all the other stuff...oops!

Here is the inside of the card...I stamped a shadow image of the snowman and stamped another one of the sentiments that comes in the Holiday Hugs set on kraft carstock cut with the Polka Dots Greetings label Die-namics die and again I cut a mat from brown cardstock by cutting around the edge of the die with my craft knife.

Well, thanks so much for stopping by and having a wee peek at my card for this week's MFTWSC46 sketch challenge!

Hope you have a great week!

If you join us for the challenge this week and use a KKS image on your card you will be entered into the random draw for your very own Wednesday stamp as used on Pam's gorgeous card!  For my card I inked up Voodoo Lady....isn't she fantastically scary!!! She is one of the six new Gothic Girls by Annie Rodrigue. I coloured her with my Copics and I had so much fun colouring her up...especially her hair...love her dreads! I stamped around the edge of the image with Kelly Panacci Flourish Border Stamp and Distress ink. I also used Stix2 Glue and Foil and added some bronze foil around the edges...I love how it turned out. I used some old MME called Spider's Web paper. I added some ribbon from my stash and some fab resin flowers and a little bling. The sentiment comes with Voodoo Lady and is stamped on kraft cardstock that I cut out with the MFT Bracket Tab Die-namics.

I have a second card to share with you featuring, Best Friends, by Annie Rodrigue. This was the special edition stamp made for the Krafty Day event that happened in October and will be available Sunday with the six new Gothic Girls for the November release. Again, I coloured the image with my Copics. I used Annalee Prima papers and flowers. The sentiment is from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps and from the Thankful Sentiment Set. 

I distressed all the edges of the papers and painted them with Distress Crackle paint in Picket Fence.

Here is the inside of the card and this sentiment comes with the Best Friends stamp!
