It's Your Birthday

I finally had time to play with a new set from the Greetery

called Pine Blossom.

I was inspired after I saw Kelly Lunceford's

gorgeous card.

I chose a rich, vibrant color from GKD

called Wild Wisteria and paired it with

an equally beautiful Dusty Rose.

I used GKD Pastillage Texture Paste

to make the snowflake background and

sprinkled with GKD Prismatic Glitter in Frozen.

The stencil is from The Greetery

and is called Frosty Flakes.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Your kind comments are always appreciated.

Bottle Brush Trees

I love bottle brush trees!

There is just something about them that

calls out for non-traditional colors.

My trees were stamped with GKD Bubblegum Pink and

Wild Wisteria and PTI Summer Sunrise.

The stamp set is PTI Joyful Christmas.

I used a stencil called Frosty Flakes

from The Greetery

 and some GKD Aqua Mist ink

to create the background.

The snowflakes are from

The Greetery's Frosty Corners die.

Merry Christmas, everyone!
I hope you have a wonder holiday season!

PTI November 2018 Blog Hop Inspiration

It's time for the PTI November 2018 Blog Hop Inspiration.

Take a look at the fun photo we were given to inspire us!

I drew my inspiration from the colors...red, aqua and white...

with touches of Kraft and cocoa bean.

Also, sticking with the holiday theme.

I came across the Winter Woolens set in my stash that I had yet to get inky, 

so decided to use it.  It was like a present and I love when that happens.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Perfect Poinsettia

This beautiful poinsettia is from My Favorite Things and

is called Perfect Poinsettia.

I made my flower snowy white 

with green and yellow accents in the center.

I used the MFT Christmas Background stamp

for my background, stamping on pink card stock with red ink.

I used the two largest Wonky Stitched Rectangle Stax dies

running them through my Big Shot together to created a frame.

I added some Stylish Snowflakes cut out of pink card stock.

I used a glue pen to add some sticky to the top of them

and sprinkled on some glitter.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Curtain Call Clearly Christmas - The Paper Players #225

I am entering this card in both the Curtain Call Clearly Christmas and The Paper Players #225 Black Tie Theme challenges.

I love snowflakes!  I recently bought these gorgeous snowflakes and couldn't wait to use them.  The two larger ones are from The Cat's Pajama's and is called Double Snowflake Cut-Ups.  The smaller one is from Simon Says Stamps and is called RyLynn Snowflake.  I inked all three with VersaMark ink and embossed with Ranger Sticky Embossing Powder and heat set.  I then sprinkled them with Gina K. Designs Prismatic Glitter in Frozen and heat set.  These are so beautiful and sparkly.  I attached them to a white card base that had been sponged with Simon Says Stamps Sea Glass ink and Hero Arts Tide Pool ink.  I added some sequins from Verve.  The sentiment is from Flourishes and is called Snow Scene Sentiment.  Sadly, they are no longer in business.  Thanks so much for coming by to look!

Mod Squad - Blue Christmas

This week at the Mod Squad the challenge is Blue Christmas.  My first thought was of snowflakes, so here is my card.

I used the snowflakes out of five different sets to create the background and embossed them in white. I love the flurry of snow across the paper.  I added a snowflake sentiment on a white tag and a ribbon with a button.  Thanks for coming by to look.
