Holly Jolly Snowman

 Hello!

Today is my day to share a little inspiration from

Pajama Crafter Stamps!

I've created a card using

Holly Jolly Christmas Stamps.

I stamped one of the snowmen and colored with Prismacolor Pencils before

fussy cutting. Two patterned papers were cut and mattered with

white card stock for my background.

The snowbanks were created with one of the

Stitched Scalloped Border Die.

The sentiment from the stamp set was stamped and 

die cut into a tag. I added a bow.

3 gemlike snowflake buttons were added for a little embellishment.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Sunflower Isabella

Popping in quickly to share a project for

Conie Fong Art & Design.

I have created a birthday card with the new

Sunflower Isabella.

I colored her with Prismacolor Pencils before fussy cutting.

My back ground was die cut. I inked the sunflower yellow card stock behind.

I added a die cut sentiment, ribbon, a bow and some sunflower stickers.

Merry Christmas Card

Hello there!

I cannot believe that the holidays will soon be here!

How about you?

It seems we just celebrated and here we are again.

I've been making a few Christmas cards and have one to share today.

This one was created for

Pajama Crafter Stamps.

I have used the fairly new 

Heaven and Nature Stamps.

This has got to be one of my favorite Christmas stamps.

I stamped the image with Versmark ink and heat embossed with 

a silver embossing powder before coloring with pencils.

Fussy cutting was done and the image is ready to add

to the card background which is a patterned paper.

The card base was covered with a silver glitter card stock to match the embossing.

I die cut the sentiment with the

Christmas Words with Shadow Die,

but I did not used the shadow.

3 pearls were added to complete.

 

Thanks for taking the time to stop by!

It is much appreciated.

 

Christmas Shaker Ornaments

Hi there! It’s Judy here with my latest project for Clear Scraps.

I have created 3 Christmas Shaker Ornaments using a Mini Shaker Bell, Mini Shaker Bulb and Mini Shaker Tall Bulb. Each shaker includes 1-chipboard back, 3 chipboard forms and 1 acrylic divider .

Starting with the chipboard back piece, trace onto the backside of a patterned paper.

Cut out the tracing.

Adhere the paper to the back piece.

Layer and adhere 2 of the chipboard forms.

Next I added color to the front of the 3rd chipboard form with a metallic marker.

Glitter glue was added.

Remove the protective film from the acrylic dividers and adhere to the backside of the chipboard form.

Add shaker pieces to the layered pieces from above.

Adhere the acrylic piece to complete the shaker.

Die cutting was done for the ornament embellishments.

I layered die cuts.

Punched some evergreen sprigs.

Adhered the evergreen pieces to the front of the shakers.

Add the die cuts.

To add hangers, I cut pieces of 1/8 inch wide ribbon and taped to the back of the shakers.

I traced the back of the ornaments onto some glitter card stock and cut out.

Adhere to the back of the shakers.

Project is complete!

Thanks so much for checking out my Shaker Christmas Ornament project!

Friends and Coffee Card

Happy Thursday!

I'm sharing my latest card created for

Pajama Crafter Stamps!

I've used the new Tea & Coffee Time Stamps.

This cute little monster was colored with Prismacolor Pencils and

fussy cut before adding to my background of purple patterned papers.

The coffee cup was die cut with the Prickley Pear Coffee Cup Die Set.

A little color was added to the white die cut with pencils.

Glitter dots were added to the die cut coffee cup and the monster's.

The sentiment is from the stamp set and was stamped onto my striped paper.

Thanks for taking a look at my fun card!

Have a great day!
