Night Snow ~ CCMC644, TGIFC296

Hello stampers!  I hope your Christmas was the best ever and may your 2021 be blessed!!!  I'm sure I'm not alone in hoping for a better '21 than '20!  

Today's card is for Create with Connie and Mary's color challenge.  This week it's the cool color trio of Highland Heather, Balmy Blue, and Night of Navy.  

I decided to go with a night snowy cabin in the woods scene.  

The card has lots and lots of sparkle and shimmer in real life.  I wish it would show up better in photos.

I also used the inspiration from TGIF Challenges--let it snow.  

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!

Man Cabin Birthday ~ CCMC643

Hello stampers!  Today's card is for Create with Connie and Mary's new sketch challenge for December.  This is a two week challenge that runs through Christmas!  

We hope you'll participate with us!  

I used Rustic Retreat for my stamp set and accessorized with Beautiful Boughs dies in vellum and the Pinewood Planks EF.  I used Just Jade and Cinnamon Cider as my main colors.

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!

Tiny Poinsettia Trio ~ CCMC642, TTT92

Hello Stampers!  Today's card is for Create with Connie and Mary's new color challenge featuring Real, Red, Pear Pizzazz, and Mossy Meadow.  

Remember the song by Brittany Spears "Oops, I Did It Again"?  That's what's going through my head at the moment.  I messed up on the colors for the color challenge.  I had it in my head that it was Real Red, Pear Pizzazz and Old Olive....so that's I used.....oops!  Well, it's a light green and a dark green anyway!  

I'm also using inspiration from Tic Tac Toe challenge.  I used Stars, Metallic, and Snow.  I've got gold metallic going on and there are white stars and snow stamped in the background of the main panel piece. 

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!

Peaceful Trees Bokeh ~ HSS354

Hello Stampers!  Today's card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments December color challenge!  Our colors this time are Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, and Misty Moonlight.  

I had an urge to use the old bokeh technique, so that was my jumping off point.

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!

Punch Art Gnome ~ CCMC641, PP519

Hey there stampers!  Today's card is for the new sketch challenge at Create with Connie and Mary. 

I'm entering in The Paper Players Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge too!  I used Patterned Paper, Die Cut, and Embossing (technically the patterned paper is embossed with stars).  I could also do the Embossing, Ribbon or Twine, and Green.   

 

Gnomes are so popular right now and all the Christmas rage!  I don't own the gnome Stampin' Up set, so I wanted to create a punch art gnome.  I think he turned out pretty cute.  I did some research on the internet and found some inspiration.  

His body is an oval, his beard is the leaf die from the Sunflower dies set (see picture below), and his hat is another oval that I fussy cut into a hat.  The nose is half a heart punch.  

I used the Brightly Gleaming DSP for my patterened papers, as well as a cozy sweater or blanket print from In Good Taste.  

For the tassle on his hat, I unraveled some braided trim and used a glue dot to adhere it.  I embellished it with a wooden hexagon from the In Good Taste Elements and a star sequin from my snowflake sequins.  

The circle was cut from a retired piece of copper glimmer paper.

I also cut his beard from a scrap of retired velveteen paper from last season.  I think it gives it nice texture!  

This little guy was super fun to make!

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!
