Joy

Hi friends!  I wanted to play along with the challenge at Festive Friday.  The inspiration photo is just gorgeous and there were so many different ways to be inspired.  I decided to use the colors (pink & gold) and the tree as my inspiration.  I followed the sketch at DeNami Design.

I flipped the sketch to make it fit my design.  I love this Star Swirl stamp by DeNami.  So pretty.  It is embossed in gold and I used my Angel Pink Pico Embellisher (Imagine Crafts) to fill in the stars.  The little pink dots on the embossing were added using the Pico Embellisher as well.

I am also adding this to Moxie Fab World: Tree-mendous Trees!

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

Happy Friday friends!!! 

 I hope all my US friends had a wonderful Thanksgiving yesterday!  I sure did.

My card for today is for The Cutting Edge Challenge and Get Sketchy at My Favorite Things.

Yes, these colors again!  I just love them.  The sketch was perfect for the die that comes in Holiday Frames by Simon Says Stamp.  The sentiment is from Ornament Banner Builder (My Favorite Things).  I once again used the Craft-a-Board by Ellen Hutson for the die cut to give it dimension.

I will also add this over at Simon Says Stamp: Work It Wednesday.

Stampin' Celebration!

Hi friends!  Today's card was inspired by the challenge over at Stampin' Celebration!

The bottom photo on the right inspired my card.  I have to admit that last year when the stag stamps and dies came out I was NOT a fan.  This year is a different story, I can't get enough of them.  haha  Does that happen to anyone?  This one by Julie Ebersole/Ellen Hutson is one of my favorites!

AND because I couldn't decide which stag die I was going to use, I made another one using this stag die by WPlus9!

To give thickness to my stag dies I used Craft-a-Board by Ellen Hutson.  It is a chip-board like material that is thin enough to use with your dies.  I like to use this instead of layering 3-4 die cuts using paper.  For these I cut through the Craft-a-board then glued a white die cut on top.  The craft-a-board is a cream color and I wanted my stags white.

Do you have a favorite stag die?  I decided that I love both of these.

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!
