Tangled up in Christmas: Day 17

 

Hello everyone!  I'm here with Day 17 of Tangled up in Christmas!

So, we're in to the last week before Christmas........anyone else scramble to need just a tiny little "something" for someone on your list?  I know I do and I have the quickest little packaging idea for gifting some of those yummy Ghirardelli chocolates!  (My personal favorite is the Sea Salt Soiree but that's a whole other topic!)

Here I've used those tiny snowflake stamps from Santa's Notes to stamp a bag topper.  I adorned the topper with a baker's twine bow!  Easy peasy!

 

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Hope you are enjoying the Holiday Season!



  

 

Peace & Joy

Hi everyone!  I'm here with a festive Market Street Stamps card using a fabulous set for paper piecing.........Ornaments by DoBea Alberts.  I love this set....it's HUGE and I like the size of the ornaments.  The hand-drawn look is just so fun.

 

 I didn't mention the sentiments in this set too.  Big that they can be the center of attention on your card or a beautiful compliment to your focal point.  Here I've used the sentiment, Peace & Joy, and heat embossed it in gold. 



What do you think of the tiny twine bow?  This is some awesome twine!  It's from the Twinery and it's perfect for those holiday cards!  I made the gold strips the focus and added gold embossing and gold pearls.  LOVE!  (Thanks Jen!)

 

Well, I hope you all are enjoying this holiday season!  Have a wonderful day!

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........
