TAWS November 2015 Sneak Peek

Hello friends,

Welcome to TAWS November Sneak Peek.  Today, I'm featuring a set called Rain or Shine.  I started out with stamping the polka dot clouds directly on the card base.  On a piece of card stock, I stamped, colored my kites with Copic and cut it (SVG files are available on TAWS' website).  Next, I adhered the kites over the polka dot clouds using foam tape.  Few clear sequins and sentiment to complete the look.  

Thanks for stopping by, please check out our DT's page for more inspiration!  Have a wonderful day!

Bring On the Snow

Hello friends,

Today, I'm sharing a cute card made with TAWS Waddle Pals and Chilly sets.  The idea of this card is that the penguin cheering in the middle of a blizzard.  To create the blizzard effects, I added some watercolor on a clear stamping block and repeatedly stamped it on my card stock.  In the center, I used a piece of paper towel and gently wiped it in circular motion.  The iceberg was stamped and embossed on vellum.  My penguin was colored in Copic.  Finally, I added the sentiment and clear sequins to finish the look.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a great day!

Paper Sweeties October Release Sneak Peeks!

Hello friends... It's Sneak Peek day at Paper Sweeties.  

Today, I'm sharing a super adorable mitten tag.  This mitten die has a little ring for you to tie your ribbon and stitched lines.  So to make this tag, all you have to do is select your favorite Christmas patterned paper, die cut, add a ribbon and a message on the back of the mitten.  Why use the ordinary tag when you can have a mitten shaped tag?  

Thanks so much for stopping by.  For more Sneak Peeks, please check out our DT's pages below.

Poinsettia Christmas Card

Hello friends,

Today's card was made with a TAWS set called Mistletoe Kisses.  I stamped and colored the poinsettias with Copic markers.  My shaker was created with the fuse tool.  If I made this with acetate and foam tapes like I previously did, all the sequins would fall to the bottom of the shaker.  With the fuse tool, I was able to create smaller pockets to keep the sequins scattered around... LOVE it!  

Thanks so much for stopping by, have a wonderful weekend!

One of Many Christmas Cards...

Hello friends,

Every year, I run out of Christmas cards.  It's just I didn't make enough :).  This year, I'm going to give it a head start.

Today's card was made with a TAWS set called Mistletoe Kisses.  This set has many super cute Christmas images.  They can be used as group, or background builder as well.  I stamped and colored mine with Copic markers.  Then I adhered them on a snowy background using foam tape.  The background was created with distress ink and a stencil.  The sentiment in red finished up the look.

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day!

Pinterest Inspired October Challenge

Hello friend,

This is my 2nd post for today.  In this post, I'm sharing a card made for October's Pinterest Inspired Challenge.

I am inspired by the beautiful periwinkle blue and silver gray as well as the sketchy branches.  So here's my take:

The flower, hello stamps are from Altenew.  I also used the 'hello' matching die to cut my sentiment.

A Coffee Card and Paper Sweetie October Challenge

 Hello friends,

Today, I'm sharing a card made for Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop and inspired by Paper Sweeties October Inspiration.

This card is inspired by the rustic feel and the color scheme of Paper Sweeties image.  I made this as a coffee gift card holder for my sons' teachers.  I used kraft card stock, and the outlined leaves from the set Bee Happy.  The coffee cup die is by SSS... I cut out the window and adhered a gold sequin shaker (made with a fuse tool) on the back.  Next, I adhered the kraft panel over a card base.  

On the inside, I made a gift card pocket using the fuse tool and adhered it.  There's enough room to write a message below the gift card.

I hope you like it.  Thanks for stopping by.  Have a great day!
