Yes, it's a Christmas Card, lol! Never too early to start and I received this CZ set after the holidays. I thought it was perfect for a CAS card and fast to put together. I die cut my woodgrain panel and my glitter paper panel, glued my woodgrain panel to my card base. I then added my glitter trees using foam tape for some fun dimension.  

I used the sentiments meant for the die plate and white embossed it and used the matching die. I added it to the centre also with foam tape.  To finish off, some fun Picket Fence sequins from my stash. Quick, CAS and pretty in pink!

Not only is green my favourite colour but St. Patrick's Day is my favourite day of the year! I usually make a St-Paddy's card but I really felt like using my Twist Pattern Press Plate and Die. I do love a graphic card and what better than green!

I die cut and pressed my green Pink Fresh die cut and added it to a woodgrain panel using foam tape. I then die cut my elements for my Fresh Cut Floral Stem by Simon Says Stamp and added it to the panel.

I stamped and embossed my sentiment also by Pink Fresh Studio and added it to the bottom of the panel using foam tape for dimension. To finish off, some white gel pen and emerald clear drops!

Dustin Pike Illustrations are some of my favourites, they never disappoint and are always good for a cute card and a chuckle. I coloured my Donkey in with my COPIC markers and fussy cut him out of Neena card stock and set him aside.

I cut a piece of Neena Desert Storm and used an older Whimsy Stamps Dotty Stencil with White Pigment Ink. I then die cut my Connected Rectangle, also by Whimsy Stamps, and glued it to the panel and glued my donkey.

I die cut my Yay dies using specialty card stock listed below and added it to the panel. to finish off, some green clear drops and white gel pen detail!

I love making a die cut only card, they are fast and fun to put together. This one was inspired by the winter we are all (mostly) collectively sharing, lol. 

I die cut five of the stars and snowflakes from the Hero Arts Snowflake Star die set. I then added some Finetec ink platters to the background.

I added my snowflakes and cut the excess on the sides. I then glued my Thanks die to the centre snowflake and to finish off, added some iridescent sequins.

I love a good stencil and this one by Lawn Fawn does not disappoint! I felt like a dark background so I used some Navy ink and then layered my flower stencils. I was going for a Gerbera Pink Daisy. This card was fairly quick to put together.  I ink blended, die cut my slider stamped and embossed my hidden sentiment.

Put the slider interactive element together and then die cut my Friend die and glued it to the top of the panel. To finish off, some White candy hearts from my stash and some gel pen detail!

I so enjoy making tags. These are fun for my Valentine's Day Gifts! I started by using my three different Distress Spritz inks and let them dry. I then went in lightly with my Tim Holtz Stencil and some gold ink blending.

I then used my Simon Says Stamp stencil and used Festive Berries Oxide Ink and stamped some hearts from the accompanying stamp set to the stencil.

I stamped my sentiment and then added some White Gel pen detail and finished with a gold bow!

Love these bears! This is a fun one layer card, I stamped my image and used my COPIC markers to colour it in. Once complete, I did some selective stencilling using my Simon Says Stamp Tumbling Heats Stencil with Kitsch Flamingo Distress Ink.

I stamped my sentiment on the right and added some candy hearts to my card. To finish off, some white gel pen detail!

Winter has been intense everywhere in North America this week so I thought this one was an appropriate fun winter card!  I stamped and masked my images and then ink blended my background and "snow hills". Once dry, I stencilled my snowy background and let it dry.  I coloured my images in with my COPIC markers and then added glitter to my hills. I die cut my Friend die and embossed my secondary sentiment from the same stamp set. To finish off, some white gel pen detail and a candy heart for the snowperson.

This one was so fun! Early start on my holiday tags. I die cut my Simon Says Stamp cloche die from Soft Navy card stock and stamped the text background. I put the tags together and set it aside. I die cut my Reindeer elements and ink blended on the Kraft paper. I put her together on the tag and added white gel pen detail. To finish off, I punched a hole and added my red twine from my stash!
