poppystamps Nordic Layered Ornament Metallic Card…

Hi everyone! My card fits in with the shiny brights category but it’s not old! lol

It seems like I make a metallic and black glossy card every Christmas season.  I should make time to go back and link them!

This is just basic die cutting and gluing.

I love this new Little Bow and String die used with the new Nordic Layered Ornament.

Framed with the poppystamps Double Stitch Rectangle Frames largest die.

Merry and Bright is from the new set of Greeting Tabs  ST017.

I finished the inside but you know what I’m going to say! ugh.  Hurrying and forgot to take a picture!  It’s a white cardbase and all I did was stamp the sentiment ‘may the season bring you Peace, Love, Joy from the Memory Box Be Merry clear stamp set.

I stamped it in the misti and I figured out that these stamps stamp the first time if I have a lightweight cardstock shim in the misti and then stamp!  YAY!  So much of stamping is like trying a new sewing machine!  Every stamp set is different!

I ended with three of the gold fairy jewels from the Christmas set.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I’m feeling the countdown crunch here!  Nothing is in the mail yet…eek!  I hope everyone else is ahead so mine will go quickly when I do get stuff mailed!  A gal can dream!  lol

Happy making and I’ll talk to you again soon!

Here’s what I used to make this card…

Spellbinders Felt Snowman Star Ornament…

Hello everyone!  First I wanted to let you know about this sale!  I don’t know about you but I like these early sales because Thanksgiving day and weekend are so busy!  It’s hard to get this kind of shopping to fit in with all the other activities!

Sharing my super cute Felt Snowman Star Ornament with you today!   So festive and fun!  What a fun addition to my tree or it might end up being a gift to a friend!

It’s even cute on the back!

I die cut everything…pretty much following the designer Nicole’s video HERE.  I did a few things different.  I just left it sewn with a running stitch and didn’t go back and fill in the spaces.

I sewed his eyes on but in handling those pieces the felt starts to shred so I can see why she just did a knot for the eyes on hers.   I like the bigger eyes though….

I stitched on his nose and cheeks.

I only used hot glue to adhere the scarf.  I didn’t stitch clear through front to back.

He’s definitely got personality!  I love it!   I hope you do too!   I have two more from this collection to make up plus a mitten from Memory Box!  Fun!

So thankful for this craft!  One of my dearest friends has passed away.  We shared 30 years of  kindred spirit papercrafting! I will miss you so much Jan! We were always texting each other, did you see this?  did you see that?  lol  Smiling through the tears.

Thank you for stopping by today and email if you have any questions!

Spellbinders Santa’s Festive Circle Crew and Festive Ornaments Card…

Hi everyone!  Cute Christmas Santa coming your way!  I fell in love with this cute set…still more to make with the sets in the collection!

I loved the card Spellbinders posted so much I copied it!  Added some holly, a poinsettia, jingle bells and changed the sentiment.

I loved the idea of bringing in the jingle bell concept in the sentiment too.  So I used the Jingle All the Way from the ‘Make it Merry Sentiments’ banner set… Love it!

A little hot foiling around the card panel, some inking with Peacock Feathers Distress ink and splatters.

I mounted the ornaments with a little of my favorite thin mounting tape through the center is all so I could stick greenery in easy.

Turned out fun!  I love dies and especially this time of year!  I used the pine branches from a couple sets,  I’ll link everything below. (The set with the poinsettia is no more so I’ll link up another set that I think would work too)  I used Spellbinder sets I already had to embellish the ornament shapes.  Check your stash!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Holler if you have any questions!  This is an A2 size card.

Here’s links to what I used to make this cute Santa!  I should say, it all went together easy!

Spellbinders Dancin’ Christmas Cute…

Hi everyone!  This cutie Dancin’ Figgy Pudding made up so cute as an ornament or it could be a gift tag too!  The legs swing on their own and it’s so cute!  I love it so much!

It’s real straight forward.  Die cut the pieces, glue and boom, you’re done.  The pieces are easy sizes to work with.  Even the berries are finger manageable!

I did a little Gathered Twigs Distress inking with the foam mini blending tool and a little white pen here and there.

It is nice to have a pick up tool for the eyes and cheeks.

I’ve never eaten figgy pudding but it’s something I should look up!  I’m even more curious now!

I made up the Dancin’ Penguin as an ornament too!  One of our grandsons loves penguins so I made one for him and one for me! lol

He’s actually a Skating  penguin!  So cute and his skates move too!  Not quite as easily as the legs on the pudding though.

Below is the scarf before I thought to add white with a Posca pen.

Super cute and again so easy to put together.  I finished the back so if it twirls on the tree, it’ll still look cute!

I still have the Gingerbread and Mouse to make.  The cuteness factor from Spellbinders makes me happy!

Thank you for clicking over to see these characters!  I hope they make you smile too!

Memory Box NEW Halloween/Fall Release!

BOO! aka Hello! Time to get inky for Fall!  Sharing three projects I made with the NEW Memory Box release!

I’ll start with this cute BOO to YOU!  The Fancy Gate Globe is NEW.  I paired it with the Snowglobe Backer die to make this hanging or it stands too, tag.

The ghosts are from the NEW Ghosts in the Forest die set and the sentiment is the NEW Boo Posh Script!  So cute!

I inked a background piece I cut with the Nested Globes die set and inked with purple inks and an ink blending brush. (it’s a brighter purple IRL)

This was a quick tag to make!

Linking my tag to the Everybody Art Challenge – Tag

Next up is an A2 size card I made with the NEW Ghosts in the Forest die set.

I die cut the scene out of Memory Box’s black glossy cardstock and the ghosts out of white glossy cardstock.  I love how it looks IRL.

I inked an A2 size panel for the back with oranges and purples and spattered water, white paint and black paint on to it.

I added the NEW Rickety House die cut in the same glossy black cardstock.  For the windows, I die cut the house in white and left the windows in the cut, colored them with a Copic yellow marker, then glued the white to the back of the black house.

I used the NEW Happy Halloween Posh Script die for the sentiment.  Die cut in black glossy and an orange from my scraps.

Not really spooky but sure is cute!

Next up is the NEW Creepy Cabin die!  This one is really CAS and probably took me the longest because I couldn’t decide whether to color it or not! lol  In the end, leaving it white won out.

It’s not so creepy anyway! haha

I inked a purple-ish background, cut everything in white.

I used the Wooded Glen Collage die from a previous release for the top layer.  Then a few pumpkins I got inky from the Pile of Pumpkins die.  The stems I colored with a Copic marker.

Layered them up with that thin thin foam mounting tape I like.

Oh, I stamped Hello from the Halloween Pumpkin clear stamp set from a previous release.

This card is 5 ½ inches square. A nice size… I like it!

I’ll link everything below.

And thank you so much for clicking over.  I’ll be back…so much I want to make!
