Holiday season

Hello to all!

Happy December!

I am inspired by a very talented Designer Jodi Collins and CASEing her card. And it was the layout of the card that really appealed to me!

Here is my interpretation of this. Instead, of stamped flowers, I used a Nutcracker with Christmas trees. And I have opted for the traditional colors for my Christmas Holiday card.

I really enjoyed coloring this cute guy, perfect for coloring with so much space.

The winter Christmas tree are from white sheet and I watercolored them using ZIG.

On a red strip, I stamped the sentiment and heat embossed it.

I have kept the design simple and added striped pattern paper to both sides of the centre panel.

I adhered to the focal panel with falling snow PP in a pastel brown color. Then placed my Nutcracker image with decorative trees.

I dazzled it with some rhinestones. Hope you enjoyed it.

Thanks for joining me today!

Happy crafting!

Joy to the world

 Hello everyone!

Happy Thursday!

For this card, I make a cute shaker with a fun deer with Christmas lights around him.

I started with that cute deer image and watercolored only light parts, ears and stags. Fussy cut it.

I die cut holly foliage and watercolored it.

Die-cut a window blind panel out of a white sheet and once from a pastel green glitter sheet. Inserted all the green stripes by taking white die strips.

Here is the pic:

Then I created a shaker panel, stamped the sentiment inside in green, added some fun shaker stars.

Added some glossy accents to the berries and lights for more interest.

I truly enjoyed making it with so much fun!

Happy crafting!

Little Merry Christmas

Hello to all!

Happy Monday!

Today I am sharing a card using the newly launched cute set "Holly Jolly". Such a fun set for Christmas!

I also used the Ultra smooth stamping cardstock which is just perfect for stamping and coloring or using any techniques.

There are cute and fun images of deer and I used this one from the set. I watercolored it with my ZIG brushes.

Fussy cut the image and added some details with a white gel pen.

I die cut a Checkered screen panel in white and placed it on a red scrap sheet. Added one more little strip of red CS. Adhered my deer image with dimension.

On a white strip stamped the sentiment in red. Accented it with some rhinestones.

That's it, super clean, cute and simple.

Happy crafting!

Warm Winter Cuppa!

 Hello to all!

Happy Thursday!

For the last few days I caught with Viral fever, cough and cold....... feeling better now, so working on some Coffee Lovers Hop projects!

So here is my project.......  The first time I saw these mittens I thought" they just belong around a mug of hot cocoa!" Just makes you want to brew up a cup, doesn't it?

On this card, I just combined dry embossed  Christmas snowflakes as a backdrop for this warm cuppa of cocoa.

The delightful cup is stamped in DI with a beautiful floral design in the traditional color combo. Then fussy cut it.

Real red die-cut mittens with details on them hold this cup of cocoa for a cozy feel.

Added a die-cut sentiment in red and accented it with some poinsettia sequins in red.

 

These darling mittens deserve a Hot cup of tea!

Supply list

Cardstocks: Snippets of Whisper White and deep red CS

Stamp: I love Tea set from Uniko

Stencil: snowflakes from hndmd

Dies: Mittens from Crafters Corner store; sentiment is from CUTplorations

Some poinsettia sequins in red from my stash
