Peace on Earth Challenge #102

 

Hello Friends and welcome back to my blog! 
SO happy you stopped by!

Today I have a card to share for the new challenge over on the PEACE ON EARTH CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE BLOG.  Of course the theme is Anything Christmas and we hope you'll come join in the fun! 

Here's a fun inspiration board we've created to help get you started ...

 

 Can you tell which one of the mood board images inspired me??

Yep ... bottom left ... I LOVE a bit glob of whipped cream in my hot chocolate!  LOL
Plus, I had the perfect Tim Holtz stencil to use on my cocoa mug!

 I've used the Elizabeth Craft 'Hot Chocolate' (#1570 - retired) die set for today's focus image.  The Tim Holtz 'Holiday Knit' (#THS028) stencil was used on the cocoa mug and Nuvo White Crystal Drops were used on the whipped creme for texture.

 PLEASE be sure to pop over to THE BLOG and check out the amazing designs our design team has created for your inspiration.  What a group of talented ladies!!  Then come join in the fun!!  

 As always ... thanks again for stopping by!

SNOWFLAKES

 Hello Friends ...

All ready for Christmas?
No?  Me either ... still waiting for a few toys to show up on my doorstep ... sure hope they make it on time or Charlie's going to be very disappointed in us!  LOL

I haven't shared many cards this week so I thought I'd take a little time this morning and create something.  Not that I shouldn't be doing 'other things' but hey!  it will all get done one way or another ... right!!??  LOL

Here's what I've come up with . . .

  

(Inside view)

 

 A very Clean & Simple card but I think it's so pretty with all the white & snowflakes.  Would rather see the 'white stuff' on a card front vs out my kitchen window!  LOL   

I decided on a gate fold card for 'something different'.  I've used an OLD Memory Box snowflake border die to adorn both sides and an OLD Darice snowflake for the center front.   Along the edge I used a gold Pilot Marker to bring dimension and did the same thing to frame my inside sentiment.

 Here are a few challenges I'd like to share in:

 CAS on Friday Challenge #324 - Snowflake (ends 1/7)
Creative Creases Challenge #110  - ATG w/fancy fold (ends 1/1)
Krafty Chicks Challenge #799 - CAS (ends 12/24)

Little Red Wagon Challenge #838 - Christmas Card (ends 12/31)
Die Cut Diva's December Challenge - Christmas / Winter (ends 12/31)


Wishing you a FABULOUS weekend ahead!
Stay safe & warm ... some areas are dealing with some very tricky weather conditions!!

 Thanks so much for stopping by! 

  As always . . .

 

Double D - Santa and/or Snowman

 Hello Dear Friends!

It's time once again for a new challenge over on the Double D Challenge Blog!

 

Here's today's theme:

 

SANTA and/or SNOWMAN

 

 and here's an inspiration board created to help get you started . . .

 

 

 As much as I LOVE Santa images, I just couldn't wait to play with my Stamp On It 'Vintage Hues' (images) and Glitter Film.  The only Santa or Snowman sheet I had was of snowmen so a snowman it is!!

 

 

 The only Santa or Snowman sheet I had was of snowmen so a snowman it is!! Here is the sheet I used but be sure to check them out ... they have some amazing images & with the glitter film over top, really makes for an amazing look.

 

 

 

Here's a link to the Glitter Film I used over top.  I used the clear panel.

 

 

My background snowflake designer paper came from Hobby Lobby.  I used a couple scrap strips of red card stock to bring attention to his red scarf.   

The sentiment is an old DRS Designs (I don't think they are in business any longer.)
Diamond Stickles was used around the sentiment flag as well as to create the icicles on the red panels (looks gold in the photo).

You'll want to be sure to pop over to the Double D Challenge Blog to see all the details and amazing samples offered up by our VERY TALENTED design team ladies!!

TOB December Mid Month Reminder

 Hello Friends! 

OLD BAT Darlene here to remind you we are half way through the month and you don't want to miss out on joining in the fun over on the Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge Blog.

I've created a card to help inspire you  ... what do you think??

 

  The background paper is from an Altenew pack called 'Celestrial paper pack'.

 

And I've used older dies from Tutti Designs.

Stitched Web Frame #562 (discontinued)
Witchin' Broom #558

I die cut the witch twice ... once black & once white then off set
the two in order to add dimension.  Then popped it up with dimensional tabs.

 HOPE TO SEE YOU OVER AT THE TWO OLD BATS CHALLENGE!

Thanks for stopping by!
