Joy Joy Joy...

Happy Wednesday. I am all about Christmas, but most of you who have followed me for years know that already. I skip over thanksgiving and head right on over to Christmas. I love this time of year and actually thinking of putting up my tree. 

Today I am all about JOY JOY JOY and this Pocket Full of Happiness: Joy To The World die was perfect for creating today.  Super easy with this ink blended background.... so let's get started.

Create card from white cardstock A2 size.

On a white panel ink blend Concord & 9th Oceanside, Wildberry and Watermelon. Sprinkle a little Copic Opaque mixed with water on your ink blended background. Make sure to let dry completely before adhering to your card base. 

I also used the coordinating colored cardstock to the inks to die cut the JOY die. 

Die cut the JOY backer on white cardstock and then adhere the colored JOY to the top of the backer. Add the solid piece in the circle and leave out the pieces that die cut out separately. 

Add some foam tape to the back of the JOY sentiments and adhere them to the center of the card. Match up the colors with the inks. 

Die cut the Berry and leave backer die three times on the Oceanside cardstock. Die cut the detailed part on glittered gold cardstock and adhere to the backer. 

Die cut the berry part only on red cardstock and adhere the inner piece to the berry using liquid glue. 

Add some foam tape to the back of the berry and adhere it to the center of the O on the Joy. 

All die cutting and no stamping today. So many fun dies to pick from that can create fun and easy cards. 

Thank you for stopping by.

Have a wonderful Tuesday!

Bella Blvd | Merry Mingle | Christmas Card Inspiration

Welcome Blog friends.. YES, the new Bella Blvd collections are available and today I am all about the new Merry Mingle collection.  I love Christmas and I do make all my Christmas cards. I have so many fun ideas for this collection and here are two of them. 

First up we have a circle card. Yes, you can create different shaped cards and it is easy. Let me share with you all how I create this one. 

Take a 8 1/2 x 11 white piece of cardstock and fold it in half from top to bottom. Use a  5 1/2 inch circle die and place it at the top of the folded cardstock. Now very important let the die hang off the cardstock slightly so we still have a fold in our circle when we die cut the 5 1/2 circle. So when you are done you should be able to open the circle just like a card with a fold at the top. 

Now die cut the same 5 1/2 circle on the Merry Mingle Let's Get Ugly backer paper. Adhere this circle to your white card base using liquid glue.

Pick out the MERRY CHRISTMAS from the Ephemera Words. Let's put some foam tape on the back of Christmas and adhere it to the center of the circle. 

Add some liquid glue to Merry and add it to the top of Christmas and at an angle. 

Find the HAPPIEST SEASON OF ALL sentiment from the Ephemera Words and add some foam tape to the back and adhere it under Christmas. 

How let's decorate it with some holly and berries and how about those fun ornaments and gifts from the Ephemera Icons. Adhere the holly and the ornament with liquid glue and the gift with foam tape. 

For a little sparkle let's add some of the Very Merry Epoxy red circles to the berries. 

Next up we have this card full of Christmas colors and patterns. I could not help myself I just had to use more then one of these fun patterns. 

Create card from white cardstock A2 size.

Die cut or machine cut a rectangle that has three windows. This shape can be found from many die cut companies that offer die cuts. I die cut this 3 times on the It's A Party backer, Making Spirits Bright backer, Colorful Christmas backer and for the center window I used one of the Borders paper. 

Adhere your background to your card using liquid glue.

Pick out this adorable Santa from the Ciao Chip board and add some foam tape to the back and adhere it to the center of the card. 

Find the MERRY MERRY banner from the Ephemera Words and adhere it under this cute Santa using liquid glue.

We are not done with the Epherma Words yes, pick out the two strings of lights and trim down to size to fit your card. Add some foam tape to the back and adhere it the top and bottom of your card. 

How easy are those two cards? Let all these cute designs in this Merry Mingle collection do all the hard work for you. This collection is bright and fun... don't miss it.

2024 Fall/Winter Coffee Lover's Blog Hop

Happy day blog friends.. Today I am linking up to the 2024 Fall Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. So get out your coffee stamps and get to creating. There are lots of amazing prizes to be won. 

Today's card was created using Pink & Main: Fall Mice stamp/dies, Farmer's Market Enamel Dots, Leaves Embossing Folder and Branches die set. 

Create card from white cardstock A2 size.

On a white panel measuring 4 1/4 x 5 1/4 ink blend brown and pink lightly onto the panel and then emboss it with the Pink & Main Leaves embossing folder. 

Sprinkle a little Copic Opaque mixed with water on your leafy background and set aside to let dry. Once it is dry, adhere it to your card base using liquid glue.

Die cut the Branches dies on green and brown cardstock and also on vellum. 

Die cut a circle with a stitched edge measuring 2 1/2. Die cut the center with a 1 3/4 circle die. Ink blend lightly with orange ink. 

Stamp out this adorable image and color using your favorite medium and then die cut the image using the coordinating dies. 

Add your inner circle to the card in the lower part of the right side of the card using foam tape. Leave the edges without foam so we can tuck the leaves behind it. 

Adhere your image to the center of the circle using foam tape. 

Add the branches behind the circle only adding liquid glue to the lower half. We want the top part to be flowing. 

Add some foam tape to the top, bottom and right side of the stitched circle and adhere it to the card. 

Stamp out the sentiment from the Fall Mice stamp set on white cardstock using black ink and then die cut on a flag banner and adhere it to the card using foam tape. If you want to add a little ink on the lower half of the sentiment, do that before adhering to the card. 

Finishing with a few of Pink & Main Farmer's Market Enamel Dots. 

Nothing like fall and coffee to celebrate together. Now I am off to get a hot cup of coffee.

I choose not to have a sentiment as the die alone was so pretty with these gorgeous papers, I felt it needed nothing else.

Christmas Wreath...

Happy Friday blog friends.. Happy November, we are on the way to celebrating Thanksgiving. I am all about Christmas, it is the happiest time of year... for sure. I have lots of Christmas cards planned so get ready for some Christmas fun. Today I am getting crafty with the new Pretty Pink Posh Holiday Wreath Builder dies, Winter Foliage dies and Sentiment Strips Christmas stamp set that I paired up with the Sentiment Strips dies and  Layered Floral Vine Stencils. 

Create card from white carstock A2 size.

On an A2 panel stencil the Layered Floral Vine stencils. I used just two of the stencils with green and red inks. I left off the third stencil. Adhere your stenciled panel to your card base using liquid glue.

Die cut the Holiday Wreath Builder dies. You can pick which leafy style you want on your wreath. Die cut it multiple times to fill up your wreath. I started at the top and just started gluing around the circle of the wreath until it was fluffy and full. I die cut the berries and bow on red cardstock and adhere to the wreath.  I also die cut the pinecone from the new Winter Foliage die set on brown cardstock. Adhere the backer to the front and add the pinecones to the wreath. Tuck them in the foliage of the wreath so they look like they belong. 

Mix some Copic Opaque with water and splatter your wreath. 

Adhere your wreath to your card using foam tape for more dimension. 

Stamp the sentiment Merry Christmas from the Sentiment Strips Christmas stamp set on white cardstock using black ink. Die cut using the coordinating Sentiment Strips dies. Adhere to the center of the wreath using liquid glue.

Don't you just love this wreath? It was fun to create and I can't wait to create more. 

Thank you for stopping by.

Have a wonderful day. 

Pretty Pink Posh | Joyful Holiday Wishes

Happy Wednesday blog friends.. Today I am getting inky with the new Pretty Pink Posh Layered Winter Hats stencil, Winter Hat Shaker dies, Sentiment Strips Christmas stamp set, Winter Foliage dies and Sentiment Strips dies. Lots of Pretty Pink Posh... I just can't resist adorable winter themed dies, stamps and stencils. My favorite time of year to create for. 

Create card from white cardstock A2 size.

On an A2 white panel ink blend a green and blue ink lightly. 

Stencil the Layered Winter Hats stencil on your ink blended background with Purple, Blue and Pink inks. Yes, we stenciled over a ink blended background. Before you remove the second stencil, sprinkle a little of Copic Opaque mixed with water. When you remove the stencil the white splatter will only be on the parts where the second stencil was. Set your panel aside and let dry completely. 

On a white panel A2 size, ink blend Blue and Purple lightly. Now die cut the Winter Hat Shaker die on it. 

Die cut the center of the hat out with the die. This is the opening for our shaker, adhere some acetate behind the open window using tear tape. Tear tape is clean and your don't have to wait for liquid glue to dry. 

Die cut the Hat again on white cardstock. 

Add your foam tape for the shaker and all over the back so it is even when we adhere the white hat. 

Add your sequins mix to the center. I created my own mix to fill the hat. Peel the protectant off the foam tape and adhere the white hat to the back to close up your shaker. Flip over and shake, shake, shake....

Add foam tape to the back of your hat and adhere to your stenciled panel.

Die cut a few of those fun Winter Foliage and add it to the side of the hat using liquid glue.

Stamp the sentiment on the left over ink blended background we did for the hat and die cut using the Sentiment Strips dies. Die cut the decorative strip on white cardstock and adhere them together and then to the hat using foam tape. 

There you go.... a fun Winter Hat shaker. Don't you just love it? What a fun die. Plus Pretty Pink Posh has the cutest stencils. I am addicted. 

That is all for today.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

Have a blessed day!
