Holiday Corner Duo

 Lately I've been really smitten with color.  I can't get enough of it on my projects and I adore using non-traditional palettes.

Yes for Hot Pink + Orange for the holidays.  I love how these turned out and now want to try out a ton of different color combos.

These are non-stamping projects with a ton of die cutting.

• Concord & 9th - Festive Corner Cuts | die
• Pretty Pink Posh - Winter Mug | die
• Pretty Pink Posh - Valentine Mug Additions | die
• Concord & 9th - Holiday Sayings | dies

The Noel card features the following elements from the Pretty Pink Posh - Winter Mug set:

• Candy Cane
• Holly Leaves 

I love how the Winter Mug and the various addition sets are packed with awesome pieces.

Oh my goodness, I love how the joy card turned out.  Gotta love a caffeinated design. These pieces are by Pretty Pink Posh:

• Winter Mug - Candy Cane, Holly Leaves + Berries
• Valentine Mug Additions - Whip Cream

The Joy sentiment by Concord & 9th is so fun!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Truckload of Christmas Wishes

Hey there! Thanks for stopping by today. This is Amanda from Twiddler's Nook. I'm still full into the Christmas cardmaking/crafting mode. How are you doing on your holiday crafts? It seems the more I finish, the more I add on to the list to do.

Today I had fun with the Pretty Pink Posh Christmas Trees stencil. I inked up the first two layers with Lawn Fawn ink - celery stick and doe, then I spread glitter paste through the last stencil for a subtle glittery background.

While that was drying I stamped and colored images from Mama Elephant Delivery by Truck and Deliver Winter Joy. I used the coordinating dies to cut everything out and a little liquid glue to adhere my truckload and driver. Because of my background panel I also glued the window cutout for the truck back in place so it's not see-through.

I stamped and heat embossed a sentiment from Pretty Pink Posh Sentiment Strips Christmas and die cut it, plus a background banner using Pretty Pink Posh Sentiment Strip dies. I used liquid glue to adhere these together and then foam squares and strips to pop everything up on my stenciled panel.

After adhering the panel to a card base, I tied jute twine around the top and switched to finishing touches. Today I added glossy accents to the truck lights, penguin beaks and parts of the ornaments. Then I switched to stardust stickles for the frosting ornaments and penguin's bow tie.

 

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

Festive Bag Toppers For Inexpensive Holiday Gifts

I picked up some fun, inexpensive Christmas gifts for neighbors, co-workers, and hostess gifts.  To make them more festive, and appropriate for the holidays, I created some tag toppers using the Goody Bag Topper from Mama Elephant.

To create the floral embellishments, I added some watercolors to some watercolor paper and then cut the flowers and leaves once the paint dried.  I used the Christmas Bird Poinsettia die from Spellbinders for these particular flowers.

The bag toppers were easy to create using the Goody Bag Topper die from Mama Elephant. I cut them from heavy weight cardstock and then added the floral embellishments and sentiment.

 I attached them to the top of several different items using strong adhesive tear tape.  

 

 

I plan to create a few more using the Build A Snowman die from Lawn Fawn.  I thought those would be cute filled with hot cocoa packets and marshmallows.  I'll leave them in a basket at my front door for some holiday cheer and treats for all the amazing delivery drivers.

 

Thank you so much for stopping by.  I hope you're inspired to create something today.

Cup of Cheer

 Lately I've definitely been a fan of color.  It's fun to mix 'n match and try new to me combos.

If you've been following me for a bit, you know I love a caffeinated design. Today's project combines the following products:

• Spellbinders - Merry Mug Creations | dies
• Spellbinders - Santa's Sippin' Sayings | stamp
• Pretty Pink Posh - Winter Foliage | dies
• Altenew - Festive Greenery | 3D Embossing Folder
• Altenew - Glitter Cardstock Set | Gilded

I love the added texture that the embossing folder adds. It is part of a bundle, embossing folder and coordinating stencil.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
