Merry Monday #30 - Guest Designer

Today is Monday which means another fantastic challenge over at Always Playing with Paper, with a new Merry Monday sketch #30 design by Lesley Croghan.

Once again, I'm excited to be a guest designer for this week's challenge and would like to thank Lesley for having chosen me as a winner in July giving me this opportunity for today's Challenge #30. Check out the rest of the design team and the beautiful Christmas inspiration.

Here is mine:

I just can't tell you how I adore this paper set: Snow Festival. I'm not even close to using up the pack and already want another one. For the sketch, I decided to flip it and work from there. For this card, I thought and thought to focus on a Christmas card that would be easy to duplicate and so I went for a simple and clean look.

Believe it or not, this card has no stamp sets involved and only DSP, gorgeous Chevron embossing folder, little cardstock (Cherry Cobbler), and Basic Pearls. Basically, there are 2 sheets in the pack that come with 16 (3x3) cute little images like this per sheet, which are all different.

Of course my favorite, Stampin Dimensionals were used under the main square focal point. Hope you enjoy and have fun creating!!

Merry Monday #29 - Delightful Decorations

So happy that the weather was not outrages yesterday, which allowed me time to play in my craft area and have fun again. Also, get back on track with my favorite challenges again. This one is for Merry Monday Challenge#29 designed by Lesley Croghan over at Always Playing with Paper.

 

This challenge is perfect for getting a head start on Christmas cards. If you would like to join, Click here to go directly to the challenge. It ends today, Sunday, at noon (pst). As I said, I'm now playing catch up time.

I will say this is my favorite paper from the Holiday Catalog called: Snow Festival and so many cute choices to pick from. I'm sure you will love this pack.

Used the set: Delightful Decorations in Cherry Cobbler and punched it out with the matching Ornament punch. Layered behind is another favorite punch of mine, the Decorative Label punch and a 2 1/4" circle in Old Olive.

Ribbon is the 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon in Whisper White along with a Vintage Faceted Designer Button. Added 2 little basic pearls in the center to emphasie the button look.

Last but not least used the Snow Burst embossing folder and Stampin Dimensionals under the Ornament and under the circle. Hope you Enjoy and Have Fun Creating!!

Merry Monday - Guest Designer

Today is Monday so that means another fantastic challenge over at Always Playing with Paper, with a new Merry Monday challenge and sketch design by Lesley Croghan.

Also, I would like to thank Lesley for having chosen one of my Merry Monday card as a winner which gave me the opportunity to be a guest designer for today's Merry Monday Challenge, in which I'm so excited to do. You can click here to go directly to the challenge and see some beautiful christmas creations.

Here is my card:

For this card, I got some new DSP called Snow Festival from the new Holiday Catalog which is now my favorite for christmas theme. I love the colors this pack comes with, especially nice contrast with this Cherry Cobbler and Baja Breeze cardstock.

Oh and look at this cute snowman which comes from the set: Snow Much Fun. To color him, I used my SU markers and aqua painter. Colors used were: Basic Grey, Bashful Blue, Baja Breeze, So Saffron, Pumpkin Pie, Sahara Sand, and Cherry Cobbler. For his cheek, I added a little chalk color.

  

I wanted more snow on this card, so I used the embossing folder: Snow Burst (now retired) using Whisper White cardstock. What do you think? At the end, I paper pierced around the oval and added some Stampin Dimensionals under it.

Almost forgot, added 3/8" Ruffled Ribbon in Lucky Limeade and some Basic Pearls on each corner. Hope you enjoy and have fun creating!!
