this release just an awesome release! 1 new stamp set, 3 new dies and 2 new stencils!! hello!!! so so so exciting!
i did a LOT of distress inking and stamping on my card!
i created the background by stamping the SUPER AWESOME sentiments from the set multiple times with that tiny little perfect snowflake in between each phrase! :) i used the Festive Berries Distress Ink to stamp.
then i used some Old Paper Distress ink to give the (originally!!) white paper a more vintage look!
be sure to head over to the Create a Smile stamps blog to see the rest of the inspiration today!! wow!!

today i have a super sweet card to share! it's up on the Newton's Nook Designs blog today, too! So be sure to check it out over there, if you are so inclined! :)
i used Distress Inks to blend the background of the card! i used Chipped Sapphire, Peacock Feathers and Evergreen Bough! they're my go to winter night sky combo! :)
i added some water drops and then once it was all dry, i heat embossed those cute little stars in white.
i also watercolored the sweet little fox from Fox Hollow (LOVE that set!!) and then popped him up over the vellum banner!
i added a few sequins, but really i just love the sweet, serene feel of the card!

My card today uses the cutest little Drum image EVER from Pa-Rum-Pa-Pum-Pum!
I used Distress Inks in Festive Berries, Worn Lipstick and Dried Marigold to create that amazing background! I just love how it came out! I did mutiple layers of watercolor and then the water drops on top of that! So fun!
I colored the cute as can be image with Distress Makers and I just couldn't resist giving him some nice big rosy cheeks!! I heat embossed the sentiment and that's it! I love how it's totally nontraiditional, but still so Christmas! :)

hello again!
i'm back and super excited to share another tag for the 25 Days of Christmas Tags celebration!!
today it's all about Newton's Nook Designs!
i used the brand new Tags Times Two Die (just released last week!!) and one of my favorite Christmas sets ever - Newton's Curious Christmas!
i colored the image of Newton gazing at the moon with copics and popped it up over the base of the tag.
for the background of the tag, i started with grey card base and added some dark grey distress ink to the top with a blending tool. then i tinted some embossing paste with teal mist and used my favorite star stencil to add those fun stars!!
i also sprinkled a little water on top, and you can see the subtle water drops, if you look closely (and squint...! ha!).
thanks again for checking out this tag! be sure to head to Tracey's blog to see the rest of the 5th anniversary of the 25 Days of Christmas Tags celebration!
enjoy!

today is a brand new Lawnscaping Challenge! yay!! it's my favorite way to start a monday! actually, it's the only acceptable way to start a monday, if you ask me!
for this challenge, we are tasking you to dust off some of those older, or unused stamp sets and make a card! it couldn't be easier! ha!
for my card, i used the older, but still very much loved, Admit One stamp set and the sentiment is from the super fun 4th of July stamp set! :)
i LOVE it!! and although i really do love this set still, i sometimes reach for other, newer sets instead! the newness draws me in!! ha! and i'm pretty sure i've never actually used that merry go round image! shame! i know!! (that ferris wheel always gets me first, thought, i just LOVE it!)
ok, so i did some light, very minimal swooshes (that's a technical term) of watercolor on my card base. i used Seedless Preserves, Picked Raspberry and Worn Lipstick Distress Inks. I swiped them across my kraft mat, and then sprayed with water. I placed my card front on top of the watercolor mess and quickly and lightly lifted my card up! look at that pretty color! i just love it!
i stamped the image on top once it was dry and then added some triangles with embossing paste and a stencil! LOVE how this came out!
this week we're sponsored by lawn fawn! so get your card making on, and you could win a stamp set of your choice! :)

My card today features my all time, hands down, favorite stamp set: Cozy Christmas!
I just LOVE that little ball of fire!!!!
I watercolored all of the images with Distress Markers, and that fireplace came out SO cool, don't you think? Love it!
I heat embossed the sentiment in black onto a semicircle of vellum and placed it on top of the mantle! Because it's just fun! The base of the card has just a little texture with some white embossing paste through a scripty stencil! I really LOVE this card!!
