Believe....

HAPPY TUESDAY blog friends.. I had not created a card for a few days but as soon as I got this Tim Holtz die I just had to create with it. I kept watching all the cool cards being created using this Sizzix die but waited until I could get it on sale. I am a bargain shopper. 

Supplies used:

• Sizzix Tim Holtz: Santa Greetings
• Stamps Anonymous Tim Holtz: Carved Christmas 2 stamp set
• Foam Tape

Create card from white cardstock A2 size.

Cut another A2 white panel and stamp these fun images from the Carved Christmas stamp set using red and green inks. I always love a stamped background. Adhere the background to your card base.

Die cut all the pieces to the Sizzix Santa Greetings. The colors are etched on the back of each die. I went with what it said but next time I will go a little more wild with color. I wanted to show you the traditional Santa. All the pieces glue together perfectly and the patterns are easy to follow.  Plus you can create any message because the entire alphabet is included in this set. 

Once your Santa is crated add some foam tape to the back and adhere it to your card. 

Don't you just love this santa... His face is actually cream colored but it got al little whited out with the lighting. I will be using this Santa again and again. Can't wait to share more. 

Thank you for stopping by.

Have a wonderful day. 

Winter Fun...

 

Happy December blog friends.. Today I am on the Pink & Main blog and I am sharing a bit of winter fun. I mean who loves the winter and how about those warm cozy jackets. I do not live where it snows but I have a few fun jackets for when it gets cold. So today I am dreaming of snow but only on my cards. 

Today I have created two cards using Pink & Main:

• Big Flakes Adhesives Transfer Stickies
• Let it Snow Foilable Kit
• River Walk Colored Cardstock
• Mini MINC Foiling Machine
• Layered Scallops Circle Dies
• Exclusive Sparkling Berry
• Shaker Tag Dies
• Foil Cardstock
• Summer Glitter Paper
• Foam Sheets, Foam Tape and Tear Tape
• Ombre' Pink Teal, Sparkle Pink, Ruby Red Cheerfoil
• Pandamonium Enamel Dots

Let's start with the shaker card...

Create card from white cardstock A2 size.

Cut a panel A2 size of the Let it Snow Foilables. I picked the mittens and then using Ombre' Pink Teal Cheerfoil and your P&M Mini MINC Foiling Machine. Place it into the folder with pattern facing up and also the pretty foil facing up on top of the foilable. I heat set my machine to 3 and wait until it is ready and run it through. Make sure to let cool completely before peeling for the reveal. Adhere the panel to your card base using tear tape.

Die cut the Shaker Tag Dies. Die cut the open face tag on white cardstock and also on a piece of P&M foam sheets. Die cut the solid tag on a piece of the Let it Snow Foilable Kit patterns and a piece of acetate. I choose the polka dot/snow design and ran it through my Mini MINC Foiling Machine with the Sparkle Pink Cheerfoil. Make sure to let cool completely before peeling for the reveal. Die cut the circles confetti from the Shaker Tag Dies on Foil Cardstock and Summer Glitter Paper, cut enough to fill your tag for the shaker bits.

Let's put that tag shaker together now that we have all the parts. Adhere the acetate solid tag to the back of the open faced white cardstock tag. I used tear tape to adhere the acetate to avoid liquid glue getting on the window of the acetate. Peel one side of the Foam Tape open faced tag that you die cut and adhere it to the acetate. Now add all your shaker bits that we die cut. Make sure that the shinny side is faced down so when you look through the window it is shinny with color. Peel the rest of the foam sheet and adhere the solid Cheerfoiled tag background. TADA we have a shaker tag.

Add some foam tape to the back of the tag and adhere it to your card at an angle.

Cut out one of the sentiments from the Let it Snow Foilable Kit and fun it through your Mini MINC Foiling Machine with the Ombre' Pink Teal Cheerfoil. Trim around the sentiment, add some foam tape to the back and adhere it to your tag.

Add some of those fun shaker bits we die cut on the tag, this is just for a little more shine.

 

Created card from white cardstock A2 size.

Cut a panel measuring 4 x 5 1/4 out of P&M River Walk colored cardstock.

Cut a few of those fun Big Flakes Adhesives Transfers Stickies and rub them onto your panel. Do a couple at a time and add the Exclusive Sparkling Berry and brush off access. Rub on a few more of those Big Flakes Adhesives Transfers Stickies and repeat process until you are happy with your background. Now adhere the background to your card base.

Die cut the snow background from the Let it Snow Foilable Kit twice using the small Layered Scallops Circle dies. Adhere the two scalloped circles together. Die cut a sentiment from the Let it Snow Foilable Kit with the circle from the Layered Scallops Circle dies. Foil it using Ruby Red Cheerfoil. Adhere the circle to the scallops circles. Now add some foam tape to the back of your sentiment design and add it to your card base.

Finishing with a few of those Pandamonium Enamel Dots.

That is all for today...

Thank you so much for stopping by today.

Have a wonderful Saturday.

Merry Christmas Santa...

YAY! for Friday and another Lawn Fawn card. Yes, I have pulled out the LF and I just seen that Chari has some more fun patterns for us to stitched so I downloaded them and well of course the Santa as the first one I stitched. Don't you just love him? If you have not seen the free downloads, check them out on the LF website. 

Lawn Fawn supplies used:

• Embroidery Hoop Die
• Stitched Snowflake Frame Die
• Winter Springs Background Stencils
• Winter Scripty Sentiments

Create card from white cardstock A2 size.

Cut a white panel A2 size and stencil this fun Winter Springs Background using green, red, blue and brown inks. Adhere the panel to your card base using liquid glue.

Die cut the solid circle Embroidery Hoop on white cardstock, the hoop frame on green cardstock and the little tool on red cardstock. Use the pattern from the LF site and follow the instructions to create this adorable Santa. I went with green today but you can really use any colors you like. Once you are done stitched the santa, adhere the frame around the edges of the circle using liquid glue.

Die cut the Stitched Snowflake Frame on white cardstock and adhere it to the back of our cute Santa using liquid glue. Only glue the edges, we don't want glue showing through. 

Add some foam tape to the back of the snowflake along the circle part and adhere it to your card. 

Add a few fun shinny gems around the hoop. I used Spellbinders Color Essentials Gems. 

Stamp out the sentiment on green cardstock using embossing ink and heat emboss in white. Trim around the edges, add some foam tape to the back and adhere it to your card. 

I wish you would see it in person, because it is so much prettier in person. I hope you like it as much as I do. There are lots of patterns on the LF site so make sure to check them out.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

Have a wonderful Friday.

Remember to smile today. 

We Wish You A Merry Christmas...

Happy day blog friends.. Boy o boy I have been busy trying to think of Christmas gifts for my family. It really is a job... let me tell you. But it is also fun. I managed in-between buying gifts to create this card. It was like a little here and a little there. It only took half the morning. LOL 

Today's card was create using Lawn Fawn:

• Snow Bunnies Stamp Set
• Quilted Heart Backdrop Portrait
• Outside In Stitched Mug
• Stitched Mug Frame

Create card from white cardstock A2 size.

Die cut the Quilted Heart Backdrop Portrait on red cardstock and adhere it to your card base using liquid glue.

Die cut the Outside in Stitched Mug on a piece of the Lawn Fawn Stripes n Sprinkles designer paper and on acetate. 

Die cut the Stitched Mug frame on a piece of the Stripes n Sprinkles designer paper.  Adhere the acetate to this mug using tear tape.  Now add some foam tape around the edges and make sure to leave no gaps. I used foam tape strips. 

Fill your shaker with some fun sequins and I actually used the hearts from the background die as part of the shaker bits. Peel the protectant on the foam tape and add the back. Add more foam tape to the back of the shaker mug but leave some room at the top for tucking in the images. Adhere the shaker mug to your card at a slight angle. 

Stamp out these adorable images from the Snow Bunnies on a separate piece of white cardstock and color them using your favorite medium. I had to fussy cut them as I do not own the coordinating dies. 

Now create your scene. I used liquid glue on the two images that are on the left and right. The center image I used foam tape. 

Stamp out the sentiment from the Snow Bunnies on white cardstock using black ink. Trim them down and adhere them to your card. 

A shaker mug full of Christmas fun... what more can we ask for?  

Thank you so much for stopping by.
