Stempel Spass

So cute, this felt acorn from Festive Friday - it immediately appealed to me and I wanted to play.... But it wasn't as easy as I thought. I wanted to use felt, to get that cozy warm feeling from the inspiration picture, but I did not like any one of my two felt cards I made. So I went with what comes easier to me - stamping.....I like this card.  The windows are cut with the Papertrey Take Tree die, the stamps are Hero Arts Four Framed Snowflakes, the sentiment is by Magenta. I also cut a thin strip of metal foil and added some Stickles. --X-- I will show you my other attempts....maybe I shouldn't..... The stamps and die cuts are Prickley Pear,the sentiment is Hero Arts - Decorate your Holidays. Somehow there is something missing on this card - any suggestions? The second card looks better here than in real life. The stamps and die cut are from the Hero Arts/Sizzix Merry Christmas Tree set. For both cards I used the Papertrey ...

Hi everybody, I am back with another Christmas card. This one is for the 52CCT challenge - the theme is "Holly".  I am also putting this card into the Moxie Fab Holiday card challenge  and the  Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge I used a Martha Stewart Holly punch for this card. The diecut and sentiment is from Prickley Pear. And I wrapped a sheer piece of fabric around red cardstock, which has snowflakes imprinted in silver on it. Its really pretty and I like how festive it looks on this card. I also used a glitzy snowflake on top of the ornament and adhered it with a brad. This card is pretty simple to make - perhaps I'll make more of the same , although I much rather come up with something new.....

Time for a Christmas card.....in June.....this year I will NOT be stressed out about Christmas.......!!! So I combined 52 CCT  - Christmas ornaments with KIS  - negative die-cutting and The Paper Players  - CAS with bling   into one card: I used a Prickley Pear die, the paper underneath is from My Minds Eye. The sentiment is Hero Arts - Decorate your Holidays. And then of course I used some tiny bling - it shows better in the close-up. The card is popped up with foam dots, to give it some dimension - and to emphasize the negative space....

This is the week of combined challenges.... 52 CCT  has shades of green as a theme and the Jingle Belles challenge is a sketch - see below.   I made my onw banner paper - using Versamark and clear embossed it. The Christmas bauble is from Prickly Pear - which comes with a matching die. I popped it up with foam dots and "hung" it from a silver thread. The dark green almost looks black in the photo - but its green - I swear! And since its a Christmas card I used some Stickles on the ornament. And since it fits the challenge I am also linking this up with the Sparkles Monthly challenge - monochromatic

At the last stamp convention I attended I bought a lot of Washi tape and ever since it has been sitting around in one of my drawers. I never really know what to do with it. So I finally pulled them out and used some, although I am not really happy with the result. I guess I need to play around some more. I put Stickles on to hide the seams. The sentiment is Hero arts (Joy Borders). The die is from Prickley Pear. This great card below is from my son. His best friend is turning 12 and he is invited to his party today. So we made a quick card this morning. He selected the colors and layout and I helped him putting it together. Generally he loves my Big Shot, so he usually chooses an embossing folder. This one is from Cuttlebug. We smeared it with white ink. The numbers and letters are from Papertrey (Block alphabet dies and By the Numbers dies) And lastly here is a picture from the bread I backed.  I just took it out of the oven and t...
