Frosty friends

Although I design holiday cards year round, my remaining projects for this month will be non-holiday themed.

Mama Elephant Build a Snowman


I combined the following products today:
  • Mama Elephant - Build a snowman | bundle
  • Lawn Fawn - Stitched Snowflake Backdrop | Lawn Cut
  • Pretty Pink Posh - Eyelet Rectangle | die
  • Concord & 9th - Quintessential Scripty Sayings | die
Each of the images has been stamped with Lawn Fawn - Crunchy Leaf.  Since I was coloring them with the softer color palette, the Crunchy Leaf is a better match.

I love the Quintessential Scripty Sayings set.  It's a fun font that fills up the width of an A2 card.

Deck the Halls Scene Card

Hello everyone. I'm on the Doodlebugs blog today for Mix it Up Monday, the last Christmas one of the year. I'm sure most everyone is wrapping up holiday crafting and ready to move on with other things but I really wanted to share this card with you all. It's so sweet and was therapeutic to color the images and pull it all together.

Mama Elephant Little Sweet Agenda

I started off with a bundle of images from the Mama Elephant Little Agenda Sweets set. I stamped and watercolored them, then after they dried I used the coordinating dies to cut them all out. I saved the window the die cuts out and glued it to my gingerbread guy for continuity in my scene. Otherwise it's pretty straight forward.

Next I cut the Pretty Pink Posh Eyelet Circle from teal cardstock and a scrap of white for some snowy ground. I used liquid glue to adhere them together and a combo of liquid glue and foam tape to adhere my images to that.

Next I took a piece of white cardstock and embossed it with the Spellbinders Peppermint Stripes embossing folder. To add color, I drug the Lawn Fawn cilantro ink pad lightly across the panel going in the direction with the stripes (at an angle) until it had the coverage I wanted. I used liquid glue to adhere it to a card base and added my circle scene with foam tape to that.

Last, I cut a sentiment banner from the Mama Elephant Winter Banners die set. I inked the top layer with pink, glued the layers together and popped it up with foam strip. For finishing touches I just tied some fun peppermint twine around the left side of the card and tied it in a cute little bow. 

I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!

Believe in Magic

 This season I've been really smitten with pink for the holidays.  Here's how I was inspired for today's project:

Pretty Pink Posh Fringe Tree

Here are the products I combined for the card:
  • Pretty Pink Posh - Fringe Tree | die
  • Pretty Pink Posh - Holiday Wreath Builder | die
  • Mama Elephant - Shimmer Lights Cover | creative cuts
  • Mama Elephant - Winter Banners | creative cuts

I used the 'berry' die in the Holiday Wreath Builder for the tree ornaments. I really wanted to glue baby poms onto the card but I already have a couple of cards with them and they are so not postal friendly.

Hopefully by the time this card posts, I will have already mailed out this year's holiday cards.  I've learned to do 'catch up' during Galentine's Day!

Thanks for stopping by!

Holly Jolly Gift Card Holder

 It's Mix it up Monday and we're getting ready for the holidays with a sweet gift card holder today. Welcome everyone, it's Amanda from Twiddler's Nook. I feel like we give and get gift cards more often in recent years than ever before and, honestly, I'm not mad about it. It's super fun to open and then you relive it all over again when it's time to go shopping!

To take that a step further, I love giving them when I have a moment to create extra fun holders for them too! This Pretty Pink Posh gift card bag is top on my list to decorate for sure!

Lawn Fawn Outside In Stitched Mug

Today I created a red gift card bag and then added some fun Lawn Fawn dies to decorate it. Peppy Penguin just couldn't stay out of the hot cocoa. I tried, I really did. Lol.

My hot cocoa mug is the Lawn Fawn Outside In Stitched Mug with some marshmallows and whipped cream, along with the spoon sticking out. I did some light ink blending a cinnamon dots on the whipped cream. Everything is adhered together with liquid glue.

I added the Pretty Pink Posh Holly Jolly sentiment across the mug with liquid glue and popped the mug and Peppy on the gift card bag with foam tape. For finishing touches I just added some glossy accents to the Christmas lights and tissue paper inside the bag to hide the gift card.

I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!
