Christmas Box

Hello Sweet Stamping Friends!

I'm joining in the post today on the My Creative Time Blog!

Today's theme is...
3D Wednesday

Can you believe it is almost August already?!  Has me thinking about Christmas.  It's right around the corner again!  So I thought I better get making some gift card holders/boxes.

I absolutely LOVE the Gift Card Gift Box Die from MCT!!

Here is the first one I created for this holiday season:

I just love the colors used!!
I added the lovely Medium Pretty Bow Die to the top!  I just love this fun bow!!

I also added a tag from the Little Gift Tag Dies set and stamped the 'Ho! Ho! Ho!' sentiment on it from the Mini Christmas Greetings stamp set!

So fun!!

There is a fun sketch and colors to find inspiration from!!

-----------------

I found some inspiration in some of the colors and followed the sketch just changing it up slightly!!

I love how this non-traditional colored holiday card turned out:

 Isn't she beautiful?!  And so very bright and colorful!! 

I used the snowwoman from the Frosty Friends stamp set!  I colored her with my Copics and then die cut around her using the Circles with Stitching and Piercing Marks Die Set!

The sentiment 'Holiday Joy' is part of the Tweet Love Birds stamp set.  I inked it up with the Black Olive Ink and stamped on the die cut wavy banner from the Cool Tag Three Die Set!!

I added some sparkle to the cuffs of her mittens, brim of her hat and the ball on her hat!!

I finished up my card by adding some Gumdrops!!

Happy Christmas Lights with IBS

Hello Stamping Friends!

We've been having a lot of cooler weather here!  So it has started to make me think about fall, as well as Christmas!!

So hard to believe that Christmas is a little less than 4 months away!

So with that being said, I decided to create two lovely Christmas cards, featuring products from Inspired By Stamping!!

I first decided I wanted to use the cute light bulbs from the Festive Greetings stamp set!

I love bright, fun Christmas cards!

 So I decided to use pink, turquoise and purple for one of my cards for the solid bulb color!  And decided to use traditional red and green solid bulb colors for the other!

Which is your favorite?!

I really like them both!  But am always drawn to the colorful versions, as I love color!  But also love the elegant style of traditional!!

Here is a look at the finished cards:

I just used black in to stamp the bulb outline, which I ended up stamping slightly off, as I really like the look it gives!  And plus it is nice to not have to be perfect all the time!!

I also used the Happy Die for both of my cards!  And the coordinating Happy stamp set to stamp the 'Holidays' sentiment on each of the cards!

It's so much fun to create your own backgrounds!!

I really like how both of these cards turned out!!

Have a lovely day!

November Feature Day with YNS

Hello Stamping Friends!

It's Feature Day at Your Next Stamp!!

Feature Day Theme...
Christmas

With that in mind I decided to pull out one of my favorite sets from YNS called Winter Wishes, as I am a sucker for snowflake sets!

The beautiful large sentiment and larger snowflakes are from the Winter Wishes stamp set!

The tiny snowflakes are part of the beautiful Little Darling Winter stamp set!

I decided to create two, as I wanted to make one in non-traditional colors and then another in more traditional Christmas colors!

So another look at the non-traditional Christmas colored version:

I just love it!!

On both card I heat embossed the sentiment with glittery embossing powder!!

I LOVE it!  The sentiment sparkles so much!  Perfect for the holiday season!!

And then my traditional colored version:

So beautiful and elegant!!
