Hi everyone! Just stopping in to share a birthday card for our grandson Bryant. I just had to use this adorable Avery Elle Christmas Kitsch stamp and die set! Soooooo CUTE! So fun to color.
I made an ink blended sky with Distress inks and stamped the three snowflakes from the set with Delicata Silver ink. I added a few Pretty Pink Posh 3mm Sparkling Clear sequins. I love these tiny ones!
The Memory Box Fresh Pine Landscape die is the background piece die cut in white card-stock.
I used the poppystamps Delicate Holly Frame die adhered to the scene with mounting squares under the solid holly leaves.
The deer are colored with Copic Sketch Markers, the E30 series. Copic Opaque White painted on the eyes and the spots.
I hope you’re having a nice relaxed Christmas prep week! Tim went to turn on the oven Saturday and the element in the oven went bad. ugh. So all of a sudden we were stove shopping…or he was! lol Poor guy. He even went and picked one up by himself! It’s really nice! I will enjoy heating up my cocoa with it! lol
I was busy making gift tags! hoho I have a picture over on instagram but haven’t taken a picture with the camera yet. They’re cute if you want to see… ugh…more deer! WHAT?! They are fun though…the Printworks antlers and googly eyes and a big red nose ‘Cool Yule’ kind of tag on kraft! yes! Link to my IG page is over in the sidebar.
ok – I’ll shut up and get back to work! Thanks so much for visiting and enjoy some cocoa with me next! (I wish)

Sharing a card today from the NEW release at Simon Says Stamp. So many pretty dies and stamps! Love is in the air, along with the snow on my blog and in Iowa. hoho
My photos don’t do this card justice. Black and gold can be so dramatic and I assure you they are on this card! (no sunshine for pictures today)
I used the Memory Box Master Oval Frame die to set this card up, then tied on some thin gold thread.
Two white die cuts glued on behind the gold die cut…
You can see this die and the rest of the release at SSS, HERE. Have fun looking and shopping!
Thanks for stopping by!

P.S. Here’s a phone picture I just took this a.m. Sun is bright today!
Tis the season…for all things Christmas and snow related! Do you have a collection of snowglobe stamps and dies? I do! Oh, I know, what don’t we collect?! lol
This adorable set is an Open Studio stamp set with coordinating dies from Memory Box called Snowglobe Wishes.
I colored the images with Copics, inked the background with Distress inks, spritzed with a pearly spray and then stamped snowflakes with Delicata Silver ink and white ink.
I die cut the snowglobe die in the top panel and glued the snowglobe to the card-base.
This Santa and reindeer are so cute! I love all the images that come in the set and it’s so wonderful to have dies for all the pieces too!
Oh, for the snow piece they are standing on, I used Stampendous Frantage Chunky Deep White Deep Impression Embossing Enamel. Love this stuff for snow!

Hi everyone! Here’s the card I made for our area stamp club gals! PTI (Papertrey Ink) had a challenge going on for assembly line card making so I had to enter. hehe
Dorothy had my name in the gift exchange and she gave me this old Santa Memory Box stamp that I wanted. She got it last year in the club gift exchange! It was so fun to open it and see she’d given him up for me! One of the other things in the package was this Sizzix tree die that I used on a thanks card that I mailed to her. Hopefully she’ll get it before she sees this! hehe A fun time was had by all! We missed the gals that couldn’t be there though!
Thanks for stopping by today! See you again soon!
