Warmest Wishes

Hello Crafty friends, 
I hope you are enjoying the October release over at Craftin Desert Divas.

Sharing my next card for the release. 
Again featuring the snowflake stencil and Gingerbread lane digital stamps.

My base if from the Picture Frame die set.
I used the blue embossing paste which gives it the sparkly 3D look.  The snowmen are copic colored and accented with gel pens.
Sentiment is from Chilly clear stamp set.  I used a 5x7 shiny silver card and popped the snowmen up with foam squares.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy all the design team projects to get you motivated to GET CRAFTY!

Candy Cane Wishes

Hello Crafty Friends,

1st day of reveals over at Craftin Desert Divas. 
I love the new snowflake stencil and the new Digi set Gingerbread Lane has so many cute images.

Here is my take on them.

I made the card base and stenciled with some embossing paste ( wonderful sparkly 3D effect)

The digital images are colored with copics and added some gel pen details.I used the 

Garden Border Die for the snowy ground. 

The sentiment is from Sweet Season clear stamp set.

I added a couple snowflakes and sequins to the tree.  

Thanks for stopping by and stay tuned as the design teams bring you cuteness and inspiration for the October Release.

Trim the Tree Bears

Here is my Design Team post today for Papercraftingworld
Today I am making Christmas presents ---I have 2 12x12 pictures to be framed and given as gifts.
I love Melinda's bears but I went nuts for this Flourished Tree as soon as I cut one!
My title and bears are from the Bears-W-Ornaments-SET-cf and the tree is Tree-Flourished-v12-CF

As you can see, I made 2 at the same time.  I had some color shaded paper -I cut out the tree and had an OMG idea, then I cut the 2nd one and inset them into the opposite page.  I used gold vellum behind the tree and cut the star from Cricut.  The santa hat was a die from Cottage Cutz and fit perfectly!!  I made the 2nd set of bears  POLAR, and they turned out sooo cute!

I shaded the bears with my Pebbles chalks ( these are one of my favorite things to shade)

I added a little gel pen and glossy accents to the faces and I have some 12x12 frames to make 2 awesome gifts!!

***I am loving the tree file ---- there is a bonus to cutting these....

I had these awesome flourish pieces left over - I will be using them on cards and scrapbook pages.
