Christmas time!

I took the time to create a couple of holiday cards featuring products from La-La Land Crafts.  I think both cards worked out well. 

On the first I especially love the cookie sheet and cookies die cuts.  These are new dies but I paired them with an older Luca stamp.

For this card, I decided to take the trolls from the Lolli Good Day stamp set and color them to be elves.  I think they make adorable little elves.  What do you think?

 

Happy Hedgehog!

 These adorable holiday Hedgehogs are from La La Land Crafts.  I colored them using Polyochromos pencils.  The stocking and candy cane dies are from Pixi Dust Designs.  Ho Ho Ho!

Bah Humbug!

 

I love this stamp from CC Designs - I am a huge Grinch fan!  The image was colored with Copic Markers and Polychromos pencils.  The sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps!  Papers are from my HUGE stash of goodies.

Little Elf

I created this using a combo of products.  The Elf is from ScrapDiva, the Mug die and sentiment is from Pixi Dust Designs.  I felt that this little guy needed to be peeking out of something so why not a mug?  Papers and background die are from my stash.

Popcorn Box

This Popcorn Box from ScrapDiva Designs is marvelous!  Does your family have a movie or game night?  This is perfect filled with popcorn or other snacks allowing everyone to have their very own box of treats. 

Another idea is to use the box for holiday home decor.  Fill it with Christmas ornaments, candies, cookies...and think beyond Christmas as well.

Queen of Snow!

Have you seen this fabulous release from Scrappy Boy Stamps, Queen of Snow?  All you frozen fans will need this complete Stamp Bundle, which includes stamps and coordinating dies, paper pads colored die cuts, stencil, and snowflake die.  But you can also get the individually too!

Christmas card with The Greeting Farm

 I colored these Greeting Farm images using Copic markers and Polychromos pencils. This was my first time using both mediums together, and I was excited to discover how well they work in combination. The images are from one of the large special order stamp sets, Holiday Reboot, and I absolutely adore them.

Coffee Mug Gift Pouch

I'm late in sharing my creations using the ScrapDiva Designs Coffee Mug Gift Pouch! This is really so clever. It creates a large mug you can stuff with goodies, and you can use the included die face for the outside (like I did) or decorate it however you like.

Guest Designing...

 I'm excited to share that I'm guest designing for ScrapDiva Designs this month. My first share features the Bell Shakers die set. I loved this set. It was so easy to assemble and made a fabulous embellishment for my cards.  I created a shaker card and a regular card just for fun and I love each of them.

Spellbinding!

I have loved The Greeting Farm Stamps since I discovered stamping. I created this tag using the Spellbinding stamp set. Isn't she an adorable wizard? All coloring was done with Polychromos Pencils. All the noncolored wizard embellishments are from the Pixi Dust Designs Wizard collection.

 

We Click!

La-La Land Crafts 10th Anniversary kit is a SNAP to work with!  I started with a darker kraft paper from Sweet Sentiments and used Polychromos pencils to color the alligator and peacock.  I have a lot of fun creating memorydex cards for myself so this will be added to my collection.  I love the camera and film dies that were included in the kit.

 

Krampus

More Polychromos pencil play.  I stamped Krampus from CC Designs on Neenah Smooth Desert Storm paper using Versafine pigment ink.  After drying the ink I found this paper was wonderful to work with.  This paper may be my new favorite pencil paper!

Polychromos Pencils

I enjoy coloring with Polychromos pencils so I do a lot of practice on different types of paper.  I was happy with this paper Neenah Bright White.  It took the color easily and blended nicely too.  This stamp is from La-La Land Crafts - she is such a cute witch!  Unfortunately, her journey was ended by a rogue cup of coffee!

 

Happy Halloween!

I created a Halloween card combining stamps from Crafty Stamp Company and Pink and Main.  While cleaning up my desk I uncovered both of these images stamped, colored, and cut out and decided they needed to go on a card! They compliment each other perfectly!

Essential Workers

Check out Scrappy Boy Stamps new release Cute Girls Essential Workers!  He has you covered with a Policewoman, Doctor, Nurse, Firefighter, and Teacher.   Grab the bundle and get the coordinating paper pad, stencil, colored die cuts, plus the Scrubs Shaped Card die set!  This will be a stamp set you grab again and again for thank-you cards!

 

She's a Country Girl

Scrappy Boy Stamps' new September release features the stamp set Country Girl.  I'm pretty sure that you all know who this could be.  Image the cards or paper embellishments you could create for your swifty fans. This set is offered in a BUNDLE deal where you get it ALL - my advice is get it ALL!

 

I Love Halloween!

Halloween is my favorite holiday, NOT because I worship evil, but because I love CUTE FUN Halloween.  I enjoy seeing the kids all dressed up and of course there is no denying I love the candy!

Pixi Dust Designs had a major Halloween release this month and it's all spook-tacular!  I'm sharing a few things I created with a few of the new release items.  The Halloween Mugs are part of a large collection of Mug Dies, which are all amazing.  The Candy Corn die set is a riot because you get to dress them up in little Candy Corn Costumes.

Hopefully, I've inspired you to visit Pixi Dust Designs.  She creates AMAZING die sets.

Happy Halloween!

Goldilocks & the Three Bears

This could be my new favorite from Scrappy Boy Stamps Fairy Tale releases.  I just love this bundle - Goldilocks & the Three Bears.  I had such fun coloring and creating these cards.  Some images are colored in Polychromos pencils and other Copics.  All patterned paper is from the collection too.  Who's been sleeping in my bed?
