Picture Inspiration

Welcome fellow crafters! Today I made a quick and easy card inspired by two challenges. The layout is from the sketch challenge at Sunday Stamps and the color and images came from Inspired by all the little things challenge. I used a Theresa Collins set I purchased when I lived in Australia. I really like the whimsical look to the trees. The snowflake die was from a new set from Reverse Confetti.

Warmest Wishes

Yes, definitely a warm 85 degree November day here in North Texas! To cool things down, I decided to make this card using these adorable snowflake stamps from Iron Gate Stamps and some of the new dies from Reverse Confetti for the Freshly Made Sketches and Merry Monday challenges. The patterned card is from The Little Yellow Bicycle's Winterings stack.

Happy Birthday, Gabby!

Oh, my oldest is 18 today! Ugh!  I can't be old enough to have an 18 year old! Although, I still have a four year old that keeps me young {at heart};-) I made this birthday tag for her. I had a kit from a class offered at Catchy Crafts . I had to make this tag because we have a Westie. Turns out I am falling in love with using these Julie Nutting stamps. It's like making paper dolls when I was a little girl:-) I'm using this for the Crafty Calendar challenge this month.

White Christmas

Tonight was my daughter's high school Christmas program. What beautiful music. I am always amazed at how much talent there is in the high schools. Since I was home earlier than I thought, I decided post the card I made today. We are expecting our first snow tonight so I thought this was appropriate:-)

I used one of my new favorite carts, Creative Memories Cheerful Seasons. This snowflake has four layers. Each layer having more intricate detailing. I only used white and pearled white cardstocks to fit in with a few challenges this week. The top three layers are adhered to the fourth layer with foam adhesive then the entire snowflake is "popped" up with foam adhesive on the embossed layer. The embossed layer was done with Cuttlebug's Snowflakes folder. In order to see the contrasting layers, I inked the edges with Antique Linen Distress Ink. I liked the softer look of the pearlized CS so I used White Opal liquid pearls instead of Stickles.

Winter Thank You

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. In fact, "Thank Yous" are what most of the challenges are today. I incorporated Sweet Sketch Wed sketch to make this 5.5 square Thank You card. I layered coordinating patterned cardstock from a Christmas scrapbook package I purchased last year. The center green card is a punched tag that I stamped and heat embossed a beautiful snowflake from Iron Gate Stamps. The ribbon is hand dyed and can be purchased through my Etsy store.
