Be-paws it's Christmas...

Discovered another new(ish) Christmas Challenge over at The Merry Christmas Challenge, and thought I'd join in their Add a Cat or Dog Challenge, with my Be-paws it's Christmas card! Perfect occasion for playing along with Less Is More's 300th Challenge - Celebrations and Festivals too!

Inspired by this weeks super versatile CAS(E) this Sketch (and cause!), stamped and fussy cut this gorgeous Simon Says Stamp trio, added some Copic marker highlights. Stamped part of the sentiment using Paper Smooches sentiments, added "Paws" for effect (lol), and Simon Says Stamp "Christmas" diecut sentiment to complete.


  


Extra Happy to receive Pick of the Week @

CAS(E) this Sketch on a Merry Monday...


Stamped these gorgeous Mama Elephant deer and bird silhouette images in Momento ink onto Lawn Fawn patterned paper, only to find you could still see the background through the image. Not wanting to see my patterned paper go to waste, I stamped onto plain paper in Watermark ink and heat embossed with Copper for the deer, and clear over red Momento ink for the bird, fussy cut and adhered the heat embossed images over my original stamping - patterned paper crisis averted!

The circular shaker box was created using Lil Inkers Stitched Circle and Dienamics Circle diecuts, to create a sandwich of foam sheet, clear acetate, and inserting "snow" glitter before adhering to the stamped pattern paper base. Added snow drift created using Mama Elephant diecut, and topped with Simon Says Stamp "Merry" sentiment.

So glad you could stop by!

A Jumbo CAS(E) of Happy Birthday...


Inspired by CAS(E) this Sketch I remembered a project I had started a while back and this gave me the shove I needed to finally get around to putting this jumbo sized card all together! 

Old dictionary paper background was turned into a sky using Mama Elephant Stitched Borders as a template, together with Distress Inks. Mama Elephant Make a Wish sentiment stamped and embossed in black, added Mama Elephant Up and Away extra sentiment, and stamped and fussy cut red watercolour balloons adding fussy cut Mama Elephant Ella and Friends elephant.

P.S. A CAS(E) of Merry Christmas...


So happy (and a little sad) to be able to join in the (second) last ever Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge! 

I must admit, Paper Smooches were the first ever stamps I won, and they will always hold a special place in my heart! Lucky for me (and YOU), challenges will be continuing over on the Paper Smooches blog!

A quick and cheerful Christmas card created using Paper Smooches dies. Diagonally cut a piece of Basic Grey paper from my stash, then negative die cut two Paper Smooches Poinesttia holly leaves, and used the positive pieces to create my second sprig of holly. Die cut Paper Smooches Christmas Words sentiment, together with a half dozen holly berries and assembled on an angle, inspired by this weeks fabulous CAS(E) this Sketch. Colours, diecuts and holly inspirations from this weeks Muse - Christmas Visions.

New Mixed Media Card Challenge...


Welcome to the New Year, and the new Mixed Media Card Challenge theme for January... NEW, with optional element of Tissue.


What new will inspire you? New year, new baby, new house, 
new pet, new job, new marriage???

I decided to tackle my fear of purple head on with this months first card LOL! Created by using Distress Inks Dusty Concord and Shaded Liliac, splattered with water, then dried and stamped with the Sweet Stamp Shop fireworks in Momento Luxe White and Zing White embossing powder. The Winnie and Walter The Big, the Bold and the Happy sentiment was diecut then inked with Distress Ink Dusty Concord, to match the sky. The Altenew Sketchy Cities New York city skyline, and Winnie and Walter "New Year" sentiment were also stamped in Momento Luxe White and Zing White embossing powder. The skyline was then fussy cut and pop dotted for more depth.


There's some more fabulous inspiration from the design team over on 
Looking forward to seeing your fabulous NEW creations!

CAS(E) this Altenew...

Yes YOU! Thank you so much for being part of this journey so far, and I'm really looking forward to getting to know you a little better in 2015! I have a post planned for tomorrow where you will be able to link up your 2014 highlight posts, because I'd love to drop by and say hello in person ;)

As you may decipher from the title of this post, today's card was inspired by the colours, graphic patterns and watercolour butterflies in the Altenew December mood board, combined with the current CAS(E) this Sketch. Created by scribbling two gelato colours (Melon and Peach) onto the Altenew Painted Butterflies solid butterfly stamp then spritzing with water before stamping. A second layer of colour was applied in Momento Luxe Dandelion, before the top outline layer was stamped in Momento Luxe Rich Cocoa. Altenew Super Script sentiment stamped in Momento Luxe Dandelion and overstamped in Momento Luxe Rich Cocoa. The scalloped edge was a scrap from a 12x12 sheet of Sassafraslass paper.
