Merry Christmas!

Hello & Welcome back!

I started this Christmas  card on a beautiful glitter white card stock. 

Stamped the baubles on white CS, heat embossed (LSG Candy cane red gold) & fussy cut. To add dimension adhered these to the base with foam dots. The faux strings are hand drawn in silver. 

I wish you could see the actual color of these baubles in real!

Craft Your Passion#243

Hi everyone!  I'm back with my weekly DT project for Craft Your Passion#243.  

This challenge theme is "Non-Traditional Christmas"

For my card I have used a cute 'Snowman frame' digi by the sponsors "Crafty Sentiments" 

In tune with the theme for this round, I have used blue in my card. This pattern paper with Christmas ornaments from Bo Bunny was perfect for this challenge. The background of the digi is with salty ocean DI & the fussy cut snowman is glued over the digi. I love the skewed, hand drawn look of the digi & I think the sentiment as well as the font (Stampendous - mini alphabet) just adds to it!

Craft Your Passion#242

Hi everyone!
I'm back with my weekly DT project for Craft Your Passion.  

This is challenge#242  & the theme "Christmas presents". You could use images of Christmas presents on your cards/projects or some Christmas themed gift/packaging

For my card I have used an adorable 'heart gift' digi by the sponsors "Stitchy Bear's Digital Stamps" colored with my new toy - Creatacolor pencils.

My card base is white over which I have overlaid textured red card stock & a pattern paper. Glued the fussy cut digi over the same white card stock & matted this on red card stock. I love this sentiment!

The shimmer on the heart the result of Wink of Stella & also added a cute heart button popping out of the gift!
