Missing You

Happy day after Christmas!

I hope everyone is well and enjoyed

time with family and/or friends yesterday.

My day was great!

Today I'm sharing a DT make for

Pajama Crafter Stamps!

We have been creating cards based on sketches all this month.

I used My Best Friend Stamps for this week's card.

I colored this sweet little Yorkshire Terrier with Prismacolor Pencils and fussy cut.

My card base was die cut. 3 layers of circle die cuts were placed behind the dog and

2 more circle die cuts were added off to the side.

I used 2 dies from Prickley Pear,

Scalloped Circle Die & Circle Peek A Boo Die

The sentiment was stamped and is included in the stamp set.

Sketch used is below.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your holiday!

Large Christmas Tags

Hello there!

I'm here sharing a new project for Clear Scraps project for the month of December!

I am sharing my process of decorating the 4 tags that

are included in the Chipboard Tag Album.

Each tag is a different shape and measures approximately 3.75 x 6.75 inches.

Rather than putting an album together I am choosing to use these tags separately as toppers for cards, to decorate a gift box or add to a gift bag. You could even send them as cards by writing or stamping a sentiment to the backside!

For these tags, I am using papers and die cuts from HunkyDory Adorable Scoreable Sheets that I have had in my stash for quite a while.

I pulled out the papers and pieces for each tag.

My 1st step for each is to trace the tags onto the back of my chosen patterned papers as seen in the photo below.

Cut each tracing.

Adhere the traced papers to the front of the tags and start adding the die cuts and other components chosen. Some of the pieces used are layered, some were fussy cut.

Here’s what I have thus far.

To finish each tag I added ribbons.

I hope you’ve enjoyed taking a look at my project!

Frosty Winter Themed Card

Hey there!Today I'm sharing my latest project for CutCardStock. This is a winter theme card using card stock, stamps and dies that lend to a “frosty” feel.

Focal

I start my project by stamping an Angiegirl image I have in my stash onto a piece of Cougar White Smooth Card Stock. This will be the focal for the card.

Cut two pieces of card stock to cover the card base. A piece of Bright Foil Silver Card Stock measures 5 x 6 1/2 inches. Lessebo Colors Premium MISTY BLUE 83lb Cardstock is cut to 4 3/4 x 6 1/4 inches.

Color the image using Prismacolor Pencils and die cut with an oval die. Die cutting a piece of the Bright Foil Silver Card Stock with an oval die will create a frame for the image.

Snowflakes

A frosty winter theme card needs snowflakes.

Die cutting 2 snowflake corners, 2 snowflakes and a snowflake border will give that feel. Cut these with Stardream Metallic CRYSTAL (white) 105 lb Card Stock.

I am adding glitter to the snowflake corners and border.

Adhere the corners and the border to the Lessebo Misty Blue Card Stock piece. Cutting the border in half will expand it to fit across the width of the card.

Card Base

Layer the Lessebo Misty Blue piece onto the Bright Foil Silver piece from above. Add this onto the 5 x 6 1/2 inch card base which is out of Cougar White Smooth Card Stock.
