Today the focus of my card are those new SNOWFLAKE dies!  Oh my, I'm in LOVE!!!  Seriously people.....these are a must have!  The best snowflake dies ever!  Ok, on to why you are here.......my card.  I've taken a little inspiration (ok a lot of inspiration) from a Gymboree shirt of my daughter's.  I just couldn't get past the fun color combo and those snowflakes.  And you have to agree, Gymboree really does do COLOR so well!  :)



 Here is my inspiration piece.........

Lil' Inker Designs {December Release} Day 2

 

 

Welcome to the Lil' Inker Designs December Release Blog Hop!  You should have arrived here from Alyssa Scritchfield's blog, if not please start back over at the Lil' Inker Designs blog for all the details of this release!

 

 

 

 

This month we are sharing some of the most awesome snowflake dies on the market......Lil' Inker Snowflake Dies!  Yes!  That means they have the signature perforations....LOVE!  In this set, you get 2 perforated snowflakes and 2 non perforated snowflakes.

 

As soon as I saw these dies, I wanted to make this card.  Have you ever had a card just pop into your head and you HAVE to make it?  Well, this is one of those cards!  I paired the snowflake dies with the NEW Stitched Mats: Squares.  Notice that paper?  It goes perfect with the new products from Lil' Inker Designs this month!  It's Winter Wishes by Echo Park (you can also get this in the LID store for a short time).

 

 My snowflakes were cut out of a heavy glittered cardstock and I had NO trouble removing my snowflakes in one piece!  So intricate and truly cuts effortlessly!

 

Now it's Blog Hop time and your next stop is my good friend, Jen Carter.......Let's go see what she's made to blow us away!  Remember there is a chance at a GC to the Lil' Inker Designs store so the more you hop and leave comments, the better your chance at winning!

Tangled up in Christmas: Day 10

 

 

Hi everyone!  I'm here with Day 10 of Tangled up in Christmas!  My very CAS card is for all of you with a sweet tooth!  :)
 

Here I've used several of the "sweet" images from the Neat & Tangled stamp set, Sweet Home.  I've colored them in with Copics R27/R29.  I don't know about you, but this time of year for me is just crazy.  When it comes to holiday cards, it must be simple.  This one would be easily mass produced!  But I did have to add some glitter to the tops of the gum drops......I couldn't resist!  :)

 

Have you checked out, Little Tangles, the new challenge blog for those that love Neat & Tangled stamps?  The next challenge is up and runs until Sunday, December 16 at11:59 EST to enter your HOLIDAY creation!

 



How about you?  Are you done with your holiday cards?  Try CAS......you can do it!

Happy Holidays!!!

Cloud 9 Blog Hop {December}

 

Hi everyone!  I have a very CAS card to share today for the Cloud 9 Blog Hop! 

I was very lucky to be one of the guest designers this month! Yay! 

 

This month's inspiration photos were amazing........snowflakes, nordic images, gingham, etc.

I had such a hard time and couldn't decide what inspired me the most! So I went with the snowflakes and nordic theme!  Wplus9 has a wonderfully perfect set for this......Fair Isle Backgrounds.

 

 Here are the gorgeous inspiration photos for this month........

Neat & Tangled: Moxie Fab "Stamp" of Approval

 

***Please scroll down for my 12 Kits of Christmas post........there is a chance at blog candy!***

 

 

Did you see the BIG news yesterday?  Neat & Tangled got Moxie Fab's "Stamp" of Approval yesterday over on the Moxie Fab World blog!  Woot, woot!!

 

In celebration of this news, the DT has put together some fabulous tags to spark your creativity this holiday season!  I hope you checked out the Neat & Tangled blog yesterday because there were tags showcased there. 

 

I've used the adorable Elves at Work for my tags.  The base of the tags is one of the Stitched Mats: Rectangles from Lil' Inker Designs.  I stamped the elves onto kraft and left them uncolored for something different since I knew I would add some scrap holiday paper I had on my desk.  Then using the Do Not Open stamp, I've stamped twice and pieced my sentiment back together.  Now I know you all have eyelets in your crafty stash, right?  It was fun to get them out and use them again! 

 

 I should mention that there is some **cute** digital stamps being offered over in the Neat & Tangled store that Danielle released for this BIG news!

 

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!!!
