Candy Canes Christmas

This week's challenge at

52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown

is to pick a previous sketch.

I chose this sketch from February 2013.

The candy cane stamp I used was a post Christmas,
in the clearance bin purchase at Michael's at the end of last year.
I paid a whole $0.50 for it!
Anyway, I stamped with versa mark and then heat embossed
with red embossing tinsel, colored the bows with
a silver paint pen and fussy cut.
I applied them to the turned squares which were die cut
with Sizzix framelits.
The greeting is from a Hero Arts
Christmas Greetings stamp set.
The snowflake embossing folder I used for the background
is from Darice.
This is Christmas card #36 for this year so far!

Birthday Daisies

When I saw this week's sketch at

Tuesday Morning Sketches

I pretty much knew what I wanted to do with it

and was able to put it together this morning.

I actually die cut the daisies with a

Memory box die last weekend for another card

and ended up going in a different direction.

The frames are die cut with some old 

Sizzix originals dies I've had for years.

I found the button I used in the sewing department 

at WalMart this morning and added some yellow ribbon

I had laying around.  I like the way it turned out.

Hope you do too!

My design for this week for

The Boys in the Woods Series.

Michael measures 7 1/2 x 2 5/8 inches and has 4 hats
included in a set.
He was stamped on white card stock, colored with markers
and fussy cut.
The printed papers are from
Die Cuts With A View's

Make the Season Bright

I made a card today combining inspiration from 2 challenges that I like

to participate with regularly.

The sketch is from Tuesday Morning Sketches

and
52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown
has  stash challenge going on.

Glitter and Bling

I think everyone likes to have a little bit of that at one time or another.

I found this free Christmas lantern printable a few weeks ago at

Beccy's Place

and knew I had to download it for later use.

I printed it twice, once on white card stock and then on cream colored vellum.

The print on the white card stock was colored with Spectrum Noir pens,

fussy cut, glittered  and placed on top of the image printed on the vellum.

Then I added the bling. I like the way it turned out!

Party with Alex

I'm getting in one last post for the weekend with 

this week's design for 

C Thru the Woods Clear Stamps.

I've paired Alex from

The Boys in the Woods Series

with a Prima Doll.

I used the color inspiration from 

the Just Us Girls challenge

as my starting point.

I stamped both Alex and the Prima Doll
on white card stock and used a combination
of paper piecing and coloring with markers
before fussy cutting.
The printed paper I used is from
DCWV's All Dressed Up Stack.
The party label was stamped with
Inkadinkado's Expressions and Frames set
and heat embossed.
The balloons were stamped with a
Stampendous stamp called Party Balloons
and fussy cut.
I finished with a couple of blue gems.
