Swiss Pixie Violet with a key…

Isn’t she just melt your heart cute?! Today the All That Scraps Design Team is showing more creations with the January release Swiss Pixies on the ATS Blog, HERE.  I used Swiss Pixie Violet, HERE… Swiss Pixie Key and Lock set, HERE and the Sugarplums stool, HERE.

The heart (from the key and lock set) is stamped randomly on Bazzill card-stock to create the background.  I stamped it once, cut it out for the embellishment and added a piece of 1/8th in. Creative Impressions grosgrain ribbon. The border is from a clear stamp border set by Sandylion.  The little puffy heart is from K & Co., Smitten was the name of the release but I don’t think they are available anymore.  Violet is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Beckett Expression Supersmooth 80# cover Radiance card-stock and colored with Copic Sketch Markers… RV00, 21, 23, 25, 29… I know…the photo doesn’t look like the marker or card-stock color at all!  So… I quit looking at the card or I’d still be trying to get a photo to turn out the right colors! ugh!  Her skin is E000, 00, 01, 02,  her hair is E50, 13, 15, 17, 19 and a little 18.  Her shoes and the key are the N grays.

The inside…I used the sentiment from the key and lock set and the new CC Designs Cutters Key and Lock embossing/cutting set… very cool and popular because it’s already out of stock!  You can do the little notification email request, HERE so you can get it when it gets back in stock!  I used the same card-stock inside…a little closer to the right color in this photo but not really!  I tried! lol

It’s a Winter Wonderland here… more Valentines coming up!  Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the new stamps and dies from All That Scraps!  The new Magnolia collection should be arriving soon!  Christine set up a new Magnolia forum for us to keep up on the latest… be sure to stop by and if you comment (just say “Hi”), you will receive an email next time someone posts… hopefully it’ll be Christine posting, “they’re here’!!!  : )

Here’s that birthday card finally! lol

I had so many things I wanted to try but when I saw Shari’s card on the Hero Arts blog last week and then I saw the wrapping paper Heather picked to wrap the gifts she was giving for Christmas… I had to try to incorporate them all into her birthday card!

Hero Arts wreath, house, damask stamps,  May Arts ribbon,  Anna Griffin paper reindeer ribbon, Martha Stewart Scandinavian snowflake punch,  Hero Arts gems.  Copic Sketch Markers used to color the house – v91, 93, 95, 99 – YG91, 97, 99.  Rock Candy and Lace Frost Stickles.

a little Christmas from Hero Arts…

I needed another Christmas card today…made me so happy that I got to try this!!!   I saw a card in Hero Arts Flickr gallery with some of their new stamps and I don’t have them “yet”  so I had to improvise!  I used Hero Arts H2887 Real Pine and the ornament is from a set LL260 Good Cheer Messages.  I did sneak in that Stampin Up Baroque stamp and I think the music background is Penny Black…it was fun to emboss and play  to create this anyway! : )  The paper lace/ruban at the bottom is from Basic Grey Capella.  I edged all the papers with vintage photo and/or walnut stain Distress inks, HERE and the ink blending tool, HERE…can’t stamp without them! lol

I hit the ribbon with the heat tool to make it “shrink  and crinkle” up.  Stampin Up and Bazzill card-stocks… not sure where those pearl things came from but I am so glad they were in my drawer! lol

Linking up to a some Challenge blogs…

Hope you’re having fun creating…After Christmas I’ll be catching up with a lot of blog commenting that’s for sure!  I know I’ve missed a lot this week while I’ve been in the “getting cards mailed ” mode.

This card makes me want to burst out singing “Joy to the world”!  So thankful for Christmas…the birth of God’s son…hope you feel the JOY!
