Hello, hello! It’s been a few week’s since I’ve posted anything here on my blog because I was sick with a nasty upper respiratory infection. After finally feeling better a few days ago, I was then a bit overwhelmed with everything that needed to get done. But I’m back and sharing a card I created for the current Color Throwdown Challenge where I used the adorable new Hello Bluebird stamp set Frosty Littles.
For my card, I started out with a white card base, then added a panel of gingham Doodlebug paper that I die cut using the Outside In Stitched Rectangle Stackables. Next I used the same rectangle dies to die cut a piece of white paper. Then I used some Pixie Dust sparkle paper and die cut that with the rectangle dies as well along with the Stitched Hillside Border dies. After that, I used the Hello Bluebird stamp set Merry Wishes and stamped my sentiment along the top of my card using Misty tool. Once that was done, I used the Frosty Littles stamp set and stamped my images then colored them with copic markers and die cut them out using the Frosty Littles dies. For added sparkle, I added some glitter to the snowmen hats and bodies.

Hello and Happy Wednesday! Today starts a new Color Throwdown Challenge and we have some fantastic colors that are perfect for the holiday season.
I used this week’s CTD colors and the Hello Bluebird stamp set Frosty Friends along with the Frosty Friends dies to create a set of Christmas tags. To create my tags, I stamped a bunch of the images from the Frosty Friends set and colored them with Copic markers and then die cut them out. Next I used the Lawn Fawn Stitched Circle Tags die and die cut three tags from red cardstock and then three white cardstock circles. I used the little snowflake stamps from the set and some aqua mist ink to stamp the upper portion of each white circle and used some Pixie Dust sparkle cardstock and the Stitched Hillside Borders for along the bottom of the circles for my snow. After that, I adhered my images, popping up the snowmen and small gift with foam tape and added white gel pen and glitter to some of the images then tied on some ribbon and Christmas bakers twine.

Hello, hello! I’m hostess this week over at the Color Throwdown blog and I’ve chosen some cozy fall colors for all of us to create with. I hope you’ll join in and play along. Before I get to my card, I’d like to welcome this month’s guest designer, Caly Person.
For my card, I used the Lawn Fawn stamp set Thanks a Latte along with the Thanks a Latte dies. Who doesn’t like a big mug of coffee with a piece of pumpkin pie? I know I do especially after cooking a Thanksgiving dinner. I started out by stamping the mug and leaf images from the Thanks a Latte set, then stamped the slice of pie from the retired Happy Feast set (which I cut out by hand), then the spoon and plate from the Love You a Latte set and the pumpkins from the Happy Harvest set. I stamped all of my images and colored them with Copic markers then die cut them out. I stamped my sentiment from the Jump for Joy set onto a piece of kraft cardstock which I had blended on some cocoa ink along the edges. I used the Outside In Stitched Rectangle Stackables dies with some Doodlebug orange gingham paper and some Perfectly Plaid Fall paper.
