Gingerbread Tilda…

Hi everyone!  Tomorrow is the last day Tim and I have two of our grandchildren.  We head to the airport to meet their Mom, Dad,  new brother and  new sister (from Bulgaria) tomorrow evening!!!   oh wow!  All I can say is…it’s a challenge to stamp with children in the house! lol  Anyone that stamps with children in the house has my total admiration!  ok – so that definitely gives away my age! lol

Gingerbread Tilda is part of the new ♥ Merry Little Christmas ♥ release from Magnolia.  She is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Sketch markers.

I used labels 14 for the holly, heart, pine embellishment and my new Waltzingmouse Labels 14 stamp set.  The papers are October Afternoon, Very Merry set,  from last year.  The gingerbread border is a Martha Stewart punch.  The snowflakes and holly are an EK Success punch  The holly border is an Anna Griffin paper ribbon from M’s.   Cherry Cobbler and Chocolate Chip cardstock from Stampin Up.  The circles are cut with Nestabilities Circle and Scallop circle dies.

I guess my time is up… I hear yelling! lol  It will be so quiet here Friday….I will miss the kids terribly but I bet I’ll sleep until 10 a.m. on Friday! lol

EDA:  forgot to post that this was supposed to be my Sweet Stop Sketch card for last Saturday!  eek!  A lot late!  Here’s the sketch…

BRRRRR….introducing Printworks Collection limited edition snowman for 2010!  Love him with his candy cane hat brim and present top hat!!! He’s item # J4075  2010 LE Jack Frost if you’re wanting to order his cuteness for yourself! The sentiment is B3998 Snowmen are the coolest…

He’s my card for the Sweet Stop Sketch challenge post today, HERE.  And here’s the sketch with a spin for this week…finish the inside…I said, “do I really have to?”  and I said, “yes”!  I don’t like to finish the insides…bad deal because it’s really hard to send out a card that’s not finished on the inside!!!

A side view…

and finally the inside!

The mitten is stamp #A3988 Cozy Mitten and the sentiment is #E4001.  All The stamps I used are from Printworks, HERE You can contact Nicole to order by email or phone with the info from this link … or order on their online store, HERE, just add the new stamps to the comment box when you check out and Nicole will email you an invoice to pay.

I colored with Copic Sketch Markers… for the bluish color I used a lot of colors… I know…I’m a wacky colorer! lol  I started with BG72 all over,  then BG93 all over,  then BG000 all over…still not happy so I brought in the cool grays, C1, 3, 5, 7… they fixed it! lol  The red is W3 all over,  then R24 all over, then brought in some R27, then less of R29 and even less of E07.  All the shadowing/shading is the cool grays, C00, 1, 3, 5.  The cheeks…don’t ask! eeek!

Martha Stewart punches except the heart is a medium EK Success Paper Shaper punch.  The pattern paper is new and from the Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamp shop, HERE… it’s called Wintertime by Echo Park… fun stuff…double sided and the pack is 6×6 for easy shipping to you!  Frosted Lace Stickles all over the place…easy to use… HERE or HERE.

All I want for Christmas…

I’m stuck on the Front Panel Side Step card… help! lol  Oh, I had fun thinking about this card and making it happen! Scroll down several posts for the one I made with Native American Tilda.  I love this Santa from Magnolia’s new Merry Little Christmas collection.  The little holly by the sentiment is also from this collection.  I LOVE holly!  I dyed the pearls red with Adirondack alcohol ink.  cool!  The sentiment is from Amy R’s new Holiday Greetings set.  You know I love it! lol

Isn’t the Mistletoe border to die for?!!!  I love it!  I just did a little bit of shaping on the back side with my shaping tool on a mouse pad and then edged it with black soot distress ink and my ink blending tool.  Added the pearls and used some mounting squares so it’s popped up a bit.  The pattern paper is BG Jovial and the red paper I stamped the brick pattern on is from the new 8×8 October Afternoon Seaside paper pad.  A really neat pad.

This is my card for  Crazy 4 Challenges want to see a Christmas card or project…

Thanks for stopping by!  I appreciate it!

You know you’re Copic addicted when you……

COLOR on Colored card-stock!!!! lol  I ♥ the look of it though!  : )

Today is review preview for CC Designs November release over at All That Scraps… HERE.  I made a small gift box that could easy hold quite a bit of Dark Chocolate (my fave) or even a lot of cash!  OK,  I’ll take the cash! hohohohohoho!

I stamped the holly and berries stamps on SU textured green and cherry cobbler card-stock. Cut the holly and the berries out and colored with Copic Sketch Markers R24, 27,29 and YG91, 93, 95 … I know… it was fun though!  Great therapy after a busy day with my awesome Grandchildren!  The sentiment is another from the new Merry And Bright stamp set by Amy R. HERE. I stamped it on each side of the lid… yes,  I used my stamp a ma jig!  I say it every-time,  I love all these sentiment sets…I always find something I can use for the project I’m working on! Pattern paper is BG Eskimo Kisses 6×6 pad. Check out the new BG Jovial 6×6 pad for Christmas this year… it’s gorgeous! HERE The box is cut from  Accucut dies.

Thanks for stopping by!

FYI: The Magnolia ATS challenge post will be tomorrow!
