Simon Says Stamp Flickr Challenge

I have finally finished 70 holiday cards that I was asked to make! So, now, I can finally just enjoy and create slowly. I made this one for the current Simon Says Stamp Flickr Colour Challenge. It worked out perfectly because this one will go to my youngest niece - I have always wanted a pet pig (no joke) and my nieces and nephews all know this, so it's a fun one.

I must order the new Dexter and Simon holiday set but for this one I used the original Dexter and Simon from Simon says stamp and simply added a Santa's hat! Masked off Dexter and stamped some presents and I stencilled a snowy background. I also used the SSS Falling Snow stencil with some shiny embossing paste for the frame. The card base is also SSS Smoke cardstock and finished it off with a mix of aqua, pink and white PPP sequins! 

Thanks for taking the time!

Fawny Holiday Week Day 5

Happy Friday! Participating in Fawny Holiday Week this year has been such fun for me! This is my 3 and last post and the last day for Fawny Holiday Week over at the Lawn Fawn Blog. Go check it out, as always they are offering some wonderful prizes!

This is a remake of a one-layer card I made earlier on this fall for the Lawnscaping Challenge. I have never been a fan of the one-layer even with 110lbs cardstock. I need a hefty card to mail it out, so I re-created my card but with a stitched rectangle die cut. I also used Let it Snow (snowy background), Joy to the Woods (trees) and Toboggan Together for the reindeer! I masked with he snowy borders (mask from dies) and used White Flower Soft for the snow!

Thanks for taking the time! And don't forget to check out the Lawn Fawn Blog all week for more inspiration and some great prizes!

Fawny Holiday Week - Day Three!

This is my second project for the Fawny Inspiration Week! I am very excited to be participating for more fantastic inspiration that will go all week please go to the Lawn Fawn Blog!

This is my project for today!

This Lawn Fawn Penguin is from last years release, I adore this guy I thought using him in the Ready, Set, Snow Shaker add-on would be such fun and turn it into a gift tag.  I stamped the snow from the Let it Snow set on vellum and white embossed it.  I also coloured the ice and hat from the Critters in the Arctic set, I cut two full white snow globe pieces for the back of the snow globe and the add-on to write my message. The front snow globe piece is slightly shaded with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink and the Merry Christmas from the Ready, Set, Snow set is embossed on wood veneer. Put everything together with Flower Soft White for the snow and some flat sequins!

Thanks for taking the time! And don't forget to check out the Lawn Fawn Blog all week for more inspiration and some great prizes!

Fawny Holiday Week!

I am so excited to be able to participate in the Fawny Holiday Week! Lawn Fawn is one of my favourite companies and for fun and whimsical holiday cards you can't ask for more! For more inspiration that will go all week please go to the Lawn Fawn Blog!

This is the first of three projects submitted, I will feature the other two later this week!

I started by stamping the Winter in the Park snow, bench and light post I then masked them off and used a mix of distress inks to blend my background. Once I cut the cover frame, I felt the scene needed a little something, something so what better then a set of the Lawn Fawn birds from Chit Chat paired with the Santa's hat from the Holiday Party Animal stamp set. 

I created the snow in the background with my Sakura white Gellyroller added a red sparkle embossed bow to the light post and my snow pen for the bench. I filled my shaker with White Flower soft and some flat sequins.  Put everything together with fun foam and finished it off with the red Lawn Trimmings!  

Thanks for taking the time!

AEIheartU Challenge #30 - Holiday Tag

I love making holiday tags, I try and make 3-5 of the same design.  For the AEIheartU Challenge, my first thought was the Avery Elle Snow Lift die from the Snow Cap Elements die set! These tags will be fantastic for my nieces and nephews!

I partially die-cut two (for each tag) of the snow lift to make the backing tags solid, for the top portion of the tag I used the full die-cut and used the border stamp from Naughty or Nice with my Misti Stamp tool to try and line the "lines" up as well as possible. I used a bit of Tumbled Glass Distress Ink on the window piece just to give a bit of dimension. I the Copic coloured my critters from the Snow Much Fun set and die cut them. The sentiment is also from the Snow Much Fun set. Finished them off with some twine and some fun jingle bells!

Thanks so much for taking the time!

Lawnscapaing #118 - In with the Old!

Happy Monday! It is time for another Lawnscaping Challenge - In with the Old! Time to break out the older less used stamp sets! 

I chose Blissful Botanicals while I have used the smaller flowers in the set quite a bit I had never stamped the leaves and butterfly in this wonderful set! I watercolored the leaves and butterfly with my wonderful Zig Clean Color Brush Pens. It also gave me a nice break from holiday cards, they are my favourite to make but a break from the Santa sanity is welcome, lol! I finished it iff with the Lawn Fawn Hugs die and the Argyle background stamp and some PPP sequins.

LAWN FAWN is the wonderful Sponsor for this Challenge, Woot! You could win Lawn Fawn stamp set of your choice! You have until Wednesday, October 28 to enter the challenge!

Head on over the Facebook Inspiration page for more project inspiration!

Thanks for taking the time!
