Hot Chocolate Gnome packets

 I'm in a process of making these hot chocolate packets for an upcoming craft show and I decide to show you one. 

I was thinking about adding a candy cane or candy cane spoons, but it's only October and the stores here are still in Halloween mode....and the craft show is in 2 weeks :) That's also why I didn't do it really Christmas-y, but more seasonal/winter-y

Dies and stamps are from Jaded Blossom and the papers are mostly older Stampin Up plus the ccontents of m  scrap box.

Festive Blooms Christmas card

Continuing Christmas card production for this year.

For this card I used Concord & 9th Festive Blooms bundle and cardstock from my scrap box.

Sentiment is also from the same bundle.

Ornament Inlay Christmas cards

I just got this fun die called Ornament Inlay from Concord & 9th and had to take it out for a test drive.

 Used 4 different cardstocks - most of them shiny or pearlescent, used the die and then mixed them up. I used double sided adhesive sheets to stick everything down - it's faster and less messy then to glue every little piece separately.

Sentiments are mostly from a Simon Says stamp set. I kept the cards flat for easy mailing.

More Christmas cards with Simple Stories paper

I'm back with more Christmas cards created using the Simon Says Stamp December 2023 kit.

For most of the cards I used only things in the kit - Tim Holtz frames and sentiment sticker book. Added a few vintage Christmas stickers that I had for ages.

Christmas cards with Hetty Clare Art

 I haven't been making cards in a while - no mojo - but with less work outside I'm trying to get back to it. 

Not making cards didn't stop me from accumulating craft supplies and I have a stash of unused or barely used card kits. So I decided to start using them and using them up

These cards were made with papers from December Simon Says Stamp kit (I know it's September already) and digi images from Hetty Clare Art. Sentiments mostly come from the kit as well. With these cute images making the cards is pretty easy. I think the papers in the kit were from Simple Stories and I have more of them left so stay tuned for more Christmas cards in the near future

SOS515 - Put You Best Face Forward

 Our newest challenge at Shopping Our Stash is called Put You Best Face Forward and we want to see human faces on your projects. 

For my card I used Santa (his face) and created a shaker card. Most materials are from December Simon Says Stamp kit - that includes the stamp, Tim Holtz frame and Santa from the paper pack that was in the kit.

CCK _ The Fading Rose

I made this card for an inspiration post at Ching-Chou Kuik's challenge and inspiration blog and it's featuring a greyscale image called The Fading Rose

I partially colored it with alcohol markers and mounted it on glitter paper. I also added some sparkly ribbon for extra bling. Added extra texture with floral embossing folder.

Winter Holidays Gnomes

Our newest challenge at Shopping Our Stash is called Winter Holidays and I made several cards featuring gnome dies and add-ons by Jaded Blossom

It basically started with a lot of leftover papers from a card kit by Photoplay. I made a bunch of layouts that were missing a focal point so I decided to make a gnome for each. Playing with all the add-ons is a bit fiddly but it's fun and you can use up a bunch of scraps.

CCK - Northern Blessing

This card was created using a precolored digi  from Ching-Chou Kuik called Northern Blessing. She's perfect for making a quick winter card

 I paired the image with some retired Stampin Up snowflake papers in blue tones. I wanted to keep it flat for mailing so I only added some silver peel-off dots from Love from Lizi and a snowflake die cut.

Enchanting Christmas Cards

 Today I realized that I'm waaaay behind with Christmas cards and that my international ones should have been mailed already so  I decided to make a bunch of quick, flat and easy ones with Enchanting Christmas papers by Paper Rose

I have a 12x12 pack which has 2 sheets of cut aparts perfect for card toppers. 

I only used the papers from the pack and matching card stock,  + some dies and embossing folders, no stamping and coloring. I have already hand written greetings on the inside, now I only need to pop them into envelopes and they are ready to go
