My Favorite Things Stamps...WSC # 146...Happy Holidays!

Hey Stampin' friends! I thought I would play along with the fabulous sketch over at the MFT Wednesday Stamp Club....MFTWSC146! I'm just getting it in under the wire but it gave me the chance to make another Christmas card and play with the new Glimmer Glaze that I bought the other day too.

Good Luck!

Here is the fabulous sketch that I used.

For my card I used the festive BoBunny Silver and Gold 6X6 paper pad and I matted with MFT Replenishments Heavyweight Card Stock in Brick Red and Jellybean Green. For the rectangle panel in the sketch I decided to use the LLD Insert It - 3X4 Notepad Die-namics. I also used the gorgeous Poinsettia Die-namics cut from pattern paper. After cutting out the flowers I turned them over on a foam mat and used my ball stylist, rubbing in circular motion, to add some dimension to the petals and leaves. Then I applied the Tattered Angels Glimmer Glaze in Sangria and I used Parsley Glimmer Glaze on the leaves.

I stamped one of the fabulous sentiments from the NEW Cheerful Christmas Sentiments Stamp set on Primitive Cream Heavyweight Card Stock in Brick Red Premium Dye Ink.

Here is a close up of the Glimmer Glazed Poinsettia...it adds such a pretty shimmer and glimmer and still lets the pattern in the paper show through...I really like how it looks and is very simple to use and dries quickly, so no long wait while it dries. 
 

This is the inside...very simple...I used another sentiment from the NEW Cheerful Christmas Sentiments Stamp set in Brick Red Premium Dye Ink.

Well, Thanks SO much for stopping by and havin' a wee peek at my card for this week's MFT Wednesday Stamp Club # 146.

BasicGrey Challenges #106 & My Favorite Things Stamps...ALM...You're My Cup of Tea!

Hey stampin' friends! Hope you had a great weekend! I was rather productive :)...gave the house a good cleaning yesterday and then headed on over to ScrapFest in Oshawa for some retail therapy. It was great to do a little shopping and see some blogland/crafty friends. I saw Tracey,  and we had a lovely little chat.  Then I made some time today to get crafty and decided to join the BasicGrey Challenges # 106 Food and or Drink. It was the perfect opportunity to crack open my BasicGrey 25th and Pine 6X6 paper pad and make another Christmas card!
 

I used my MFT Blueprints 8  and followed the sketch in the bottom right corner...with a few adjustments.

I made my card 5X5 from Kraft cardstock and used MFT Replenishment Heavyweight Card Stock in Red Hot, Bubblegum Pink, Sno Cone, Sweet Tooth and Gumdrop Green.

 I love using this sweet A´ La Modes You're My Cup of Tea for Christmas cards...I just think she looks SO festive. I coloured her with my Copics and paper pieced her outfit and giant cup of tea. I cut the image out with the Pierced Rectangle STAX Die-namics, the put the image back in the die to use it as a stencil and inked with Spun Sugar Distress Ink. I used my NEW Blueprints 8 for this card and the Blueprints Sketch PDF was perfect to make this card come together super fast...Blueprints are going to make Christmas card making a breeze this year...LOVE Blueprints!

I stamped one of the sentiments from the ALM You're My Cup of Tea in Red Hot Premium Dye Ink on Sweet Tooth Heavyweight Card Stock cut with the ribbon die from the First Place Award Ribbon Die-namics...I added the little holly leaves from the Christmas Ornaments Die-namics and the small circle dies from Blueprints 5 for the berries. I also stamped a wee heart on the tea bag tag with one of the Heart stamp from Coupons Book - Love Stamp set with Paver Red Premium Dye Ink. 

Here is the inside...I stamped a shadow image of the ALM You're My Cup of Tea girl in Bubblegum Pink Premium Dye Ink and used the NEW Cheerful Christmas Greetings Stamp set for the sentiment...LOVE this set and I know I'll be using it a lot for my Christmas cards. I stamped the sentiment with Red Hot Premium Dye Ink.

Well, thanks SO much for stopping by today and havin' a wee peek at my ALM You're My Cup of Tea card for the BasicGrey Challenges # 106...Food and or Drink.

So, I took advantage of the long Thanksgiving weekend and got crafty! I inked up this super cute new Pure Innocence girl called Happy Christmas. This card is the kick-off to my Christmas card making...feels good to get a head start on it! 

Here is the fabulous sketch that I used from the Deconstructed Sketch!

I made my card base 6X6 from Kraft Cardstock and used this festive Authentique Joyous 6x6 paper pad. I coloured the Pure Innocence Happy Christmas girl with my Copics and paper pieced her outfit. I cut her out and popped her up on the circle panel. I used MFT Heavyweight Card Stock in Black Licorice, Wild Cherry and Olive and MFT Sweet Tooth felt. I stamped a sentiment from the PI Holly Girl Stamp set with MFT Sweet Tooth Pigment Ink and embossed it with AC Zing White Embossing powder.

As always, I used lots of Die-namics on this card...Rectangle STAX, Pierced Rectangle STAX, Jumbo Fishtail Banner STAX, Circle STAX, Open Scallop Doily Duo, NEW Tree Line Die-namics, Snow Drifts Die-namics, NEW Blueprints 8, Blueprints 4, Blueprints, Blueprints 1.

Here is the inside...I stamped a shadow image of the PI Happy Christmas girl on MFT Primitive Cream Heavyweight Card Stock with Electric Red Premium Dye Ink. I used the Open Scallop Doily Duo again and the Layered Treat Tag Die-namics. I stamped this sweet sentiment that comes in the PI Happy Christmas Stamp set in Steel Grey Premium Dye Ink on Primitive Cream Heavyweight Card Stock.

Thanks SO much for stopping by and having a wee peek at my card with the super sweet Pure Innocence Happy Christmas girl.
