Our Craft Lounge Blog Hop {Merry Moose}

It's still 80* in NY, yet I am making holiday cards! What am I thinking? I am thinking Blog Hop Baby! This card is made with one of the newest sets by Our Craft Lounge, called Merry Moose! It's so stinkin cute, this set!

This 5x5 card is layered with celery and red, both dry pressure embossed (swiss dots and snowflake folders). The button is in celery with a red ribbon and rustic thread. The main image is stamped on white and colored with copics. There are stickles on the snowbanks. I even created icicles with stickles on the sign.

Our Craft Lounge Blog Hop {Penguin Fun}

Welcome to the Penguin Fun sneak peek from Our Craft Lounge! I love the new sets that are coming out this release! The Penguin Fun set is simply adorable!

I created a simple card with the penguin set - using some fun polka dot paper! I added a few punched snowflakes, which are covered with dabs of stickles. I also added some stickles to the snowbank and the snowballs. Penguin colored with copics.


I also created a simple holiday gift. I love keeping candles around the house (I got a two pack of some nicely scented candles at Target). I simply wrapped some designer paper around the glass container, then added a strip of wide white organza ribbon. I punched the stamped sentiment out with an oval punch and layered on a piece of oval punched celery. I added some punched snowflakes (with small buttons in the center) and dazzled the snowflakes with stickles.


This is an easy 5 minute creation which is so cute to give as a hostess gift for those last minute holiday cocktail parties. Keep a few candles on hand in your craft room for those quick, easy presents.

The back has the big , beautiful bow! Fun and simple!
