Be Merry

 

Greetings holiday lovers. This time of year begins a countdown to getting my Christmas

card done. 

It took awhile to get my Greetery order this time, and I happily dug right in with

the new Twinkle Background die.  I paired it with the Jumbo Curiosity Teardrop

Ornament and plan. to do several more. Love the effect with Glitter Cardstock from

Memory Box.

Lots of sparkle going on here! How are you enjoying your holiday card making?

It's the most wonderful (and crafty) time of the year!

25 Days of Christmas Tags: Bonus Day

 

My Favorite Things sponsored a bonus day during Tracey's 25 Days of Tags, and

among all those gorgeous sweet tags, I chose Anna Lorenzetto's adorable 

tags as my inspiration. 

I found a little animal with a Christmas scarf, and paired it with Poppystamps' Pinpoint

Ornament Shaker tag set. Santa's Sleigh from PTI is is the stamp.

Anna used an off-white frame with a white background with a strip of greeting.

My two tags complete the bonus day! 

Hope you have a wonderful holiday weekend!

Merry and bright

Christmas in Black & White

Hi! I'm playing along with Poppystamps Challenge today,

with the call: 'Back to Black'.

I did a b/w Christmas card with the Poppystamp dies: Winterflake Corner,

and Jasper Ornament Outline & Jasper Ornament Background.

Added the cutouts from the snowflake corner.

Sequins: 3mm Irridescent from Pretty Pink Posh.

The ornament, when cut, allows the lift of it's wings and

snowflake, for a very pretty detailing.

Pink & Green Christmas

Amy has an interesting challenge at MIM, this week.

We're to build a background of frames for our card.

I started with the Vintage Ornament set, (love!), and 

worked with pink and green.

Started with stamping the ornaments in Stormy Sea.

Once my ornaments were stamped with color, 

I went over the shell of the ornament with versamark and clear ep.

The indents have Wink of Stella, clear and silver.

Background began with Pale Peony, then stamped Holiday Greens Border.

Splatterings of Stormy Sea, and Mr Huey's white.

The frames are Mat Stack 6, the small within the medium, 

to form my frame.

All those little glittery sequins were added last and are from

Pretty Pink Posh.

You can see the effect of the embossing over color

Hi, hope you weekend is off to a happy start!

Busy doesn't begin to describe it here at the Penir compound!

The Thanksgiving holiday is a riotous assembly of bodies, beds, decorating for Christmas

and an endless supply of laughing and baking!

Very excited to be guest designing for Festive Friday,

with this lovely photo for inspiration.

Don't know about you, but I see rich pine green and pinks glowing against white.

It helps to have a new die from Poppystamps called: Addison Ornament.

Lacy and delicate, no need to overpower with too much.

Kept it simple with Poppystamps: Diamond Background,

and a vellum banner from PTI's Make It Market Tinsel & Tags.

Cardstock: PTI
