CTD#219/RS#38 - Swanky Snowdudes

 Howdy Ho friends!  I hope you're all doing well.  It's time for the Color Throwdown Challenge and our hostess for this week is the talented Tammy.  I'm in love with the colors Tammy has chosen for us this week, these colors are such fun colors to work with.  I really hope you'll take the time to play along with us this week. For my card I used the Paper Smooches stamp set Swanky Snowdudes and the Retro Sketches Challenge #38 for my layout to create a Christmas card.  I ended up flipping the layout from the sketch because my snowman was pointing in the other direction but overall I stayed true to the sketch.

Supplies: Swanky Snowdudes -Paper Smooches, My Mind's Eye dp, Copic markers, Glitter, Banner die (PTI), Corner rounder, Bakers twine, MS snowflake punch, Button, Foam tape.

FSS - Home is Where Your Heart is

Hi there friends!  Today I'm sharing another card I created using the fun new Fresh Squeezed Stamps set Winter Wonderland.  For my card I started out with a garden green card base, then added a panel of real red with a piece of white embossed cardstock on top.  Each of the tree images were stamped on different designer paper and cardstock then cut out with two of them popped up with foam tape and the cardinal bird and nest were added.  Last a strip of green cardstock with a border and ribbon were attached and a button added.

Supplies: Winter Wonderland - FSS, My Mind's Eye dp, Snowflake embossing folder, Ribbon, Button, Bakers twine, Scallop border punch, Copics, Foam tape.   For more samples in using this Fresh Squeezed Stamps set and others please visit the Fresh Squeezed Blog.

CTD#218/DS#77 - Hello Friend

Hi folks!  It's my turn as hostess over at the Color Throwdown Challenge this week and I've chosen some colors based on a pretty bird photo I found on Pinterest.

It's crazy how I actually started off creating a card using these colors and a bird stamp set and ended up with a coffee cup card...and you should see my work space.  Anyhoo, for my card I used the Papertrey Ink stamp set Warm Happiness and Mega Mixed Messages for my sentiment along with the Deconstructed Sketch Challenge #77.
