CANDY CANE CHRISTMAS BUNDLE

GIFT CARD SLOT DIE

As we approach Thanksgiving I wanted to share a Thankful card. This is the Welcome Fall bundle from Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.

Do you remember seeing this this pumpkin before? Yes you did, the sage green one here. And of course this checks off the the coloring challenge for today!

I am thankful for so much this year. Sending an early “Happy Thanksgiving” to you and your families.

Happy Sunday! If you have been here before you know I may have a slight obsession with gnomes. It started last year and it continues. These Gnomes are the Simon Says Stamp Gnome die.

I quickly die cut several gnomes in plain white neenah cardstock. As part of the coloring challenge, I simply colored them with copics.

The hat is the gingham background, also from Simon Says stamp. It is stamped on a 6×6 piece of white card stock, in black ink. Then I die cut and and added color with copics. This way I can get lots of hats and shirts in gingham of any color.

Holly Jolly sentiment is from Concord and 9th (from last year). The red hat pom poms are from last months Woodland Whimsy card kit. SSS has lots of pom poms to choose from.

ADDED BONUS: This die is part of the Simons Says Stamp Card kit available now. A GREAT DEAL! with adorable gnomes stamps and perfect matching paper. I added the link to the die by itself, as well as the card kit.

I got my coloring inspiration from all the gnomes at HomeGoods. So stinkin’ CUTE!!!

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s a non traditional Christmas color for today’s O Christmas Tree (Stamp Simply). PINK! And you know love pink!

Tired of green and red? Shake things up with some pinks, purples or even turquoise blue. It’s really is SO FUN!

To make this card, stamp (randomly) 4 trees on the white panel and color them with copics. Stamps and die cut a 5th tress (color the exact same way) and pop it up on foam squares. Finally, carefully stamp the sentiment. I used distress oxide Picked Raspberry and my misti tool. Each time I stamped, the stamp was only partially inked.

Loving that this card is also part of my 30 day coloring challenge. Please follow me on Instagram if you want to see all the coloring. Ready to try some non traditional colors on your next Holiday project? Go for it and most of all have fun!

Hello Stampers! Today I am sharing with you another beautiful Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil Kit of the Month for November 2019: Shimmering Merry Christmas Sentiments.

This month, you get a fabulous set of holiday sentiment glimmer plates, along with two banner dies and a roll of silver foil. YAY!! These simple one line sentiments are totally my style. Bonus: It’s easy to foil a bunch of these at once to use on your Christmas and holiday cards.

For both my cards, I foiled the sentiments with the new Merry Christmas Tree Glimmer Hot Foil Plate. It’s from the Sharyn Sowell Holiday 2019 Collection. Added some fabulous FSJ embossing folders for a touch of texture.

If you love the Glimmer Hot Foil System, the club kit subscription is perfect! A new set of Glimmer plates will arrive at your door every month along with some great inspiration.

The Essentials by Ellen November release is live now! This release is full of adorable new stamp sets – Flowers, a Bon Bon Box, butterflies and so much more! Today I am sharing the perfect stamp set for sending flowers. Beautiful stamped flowers! Introducing …. In The Weeds.

This card is super clean and simple. I wanted the main focus to be the flowers but I thought I’d detail the supplies I used:

• In The Weeds Stamp and matching die set
• Light Gray cardstock for the card base, 4.25 x 11, scored at 5.5
• Black card stock cut to 4 x 5.25 and .5 x 4
• Versamark ink, white embossing powder and a heat tool
• Neenah White card stock
• Memento black ink and copic markers
• Striped embossing folder. If you dont have one in your stash you can recreate this using a scoreboard and diagonal scorelines .25 inch apart.

Love how simple it is to color this image. Here are the markers that I used.

So many fun new products. Click the image to head to Ellen’s website or any of the product links below.
