A Lil Christmas Bauble Tag...

Second card for the day...
I had so much fun stamping this card, that I thought I'd try a variation on the theme for this weeks Lawnscaping Tags & Treat Bag Challenge, and the Paper Players Evergreen Challenge with my evergreen wreath and bauble.  Combined three Lawn Fawn sets to create this cute wreath and two turtle doves. Peace, Joy, Love branches, heart and birds, Happily Ever After bow Trim the Tree sentiment, stamped in Momento Luxe Love LetterPear Tart and Dandelion inks.  Used Lil Inkers Stitched Circles to create the bauble - sandwiched two smaller circles between two larger circles and punched the hole for the Twinery Marascheto twine to thread through.

 

Dashing Across the Evergreen Lawn...

9 Minutes and 51 seconds later...
Just managed to Dash across the line for this fortnights 10 Minute Craft Dash, which coincidentally has some fabulous Lawn Fawn goodies as the prize!  Also playing along with Lawn Fawn Catalog Challenge - Anything Goes, and the Paper Players Evergreen Challenge with my evergreen wreath.  Combined three Lawn Fawn sets to create this cute wreath and two turtle doves. Peace, Joy, Love branches, heart and birds, Happily Ever After bow Trim the Tree sentiment, stamped in Momento Luxe Love Letter, Pear Tart and Dandelion inks.

10 Minute Tips

  • If you die cut the circle before stamping, you have an edge you can use as your guide for stamping.
  • Make sure you have a plan and all your supplies and tools to hand before you start the stopwatch!
  • Foam tape on a roll is quick to use as you can peel the backing tape before you cut it :)

A CAS(E) of Peace on Earth...

Clearly Besotted Pretty Poinsettia poinsettia and sentiment and Background Builder music combined to create this simple Christmas greeting.  I love Momento Luxe Olive Grove and Love Letter inks for traditional Christmas stamping.  Playing along with this fortnights fabulous CAS(E) this SketchFestive Friday Peace Trigger Challenge, and if I'm not too late, Little Red Wagon Off the Edge.

Keepin' It Simple All White...


Combined inspiration from this weeks fabulous MUSE card, Merry Monday Magical WonderCity Crafters Snow White, Festive Friday Snowflake Element and Keep It Simple Snow Challenges.  Loved the negative space die-cut snowflake from the MUSE card, and recreated this using Lil Inkers Stitched Snowflakes and Stitched Rectangles to create the double die-cut snowflake strip.  Die-cut the snowflake first and removing the die-cut section before die-cutting the stitched edges, secured into place by adhering the panel to a second piece of cardstock for stability. WPlus9 Joy sentiment and snowflake, paired with a smaller Lil Inkers snowflake and finished with some Kaisercraft pearls.

Dashing I {heart} You...

6 Minutes and 8 seconds later...
Before I cleared off my crafting space from yesterday's card, I decided I'd have another go at combining the current Paper Smooches Sparks Picture Perfect Challenge and 10 Minute Craft Dash challenges.  This one is a bit more literal LOL. Stamps from Paper Smooches Smoocheroos and Promenade.

A Smooching Dash Down the Aisle...

9 Minutes and 58 seconds later...
I thought I'd combine this fortnights 10 Minute Craft Dash colours with this weeks Paper Smooches Sparks Picture Perfect Challenge, especially when the first thing I thought of when I saw this weeks Picture Perfect Challenge was a sandcastle mixed with this couple, perfect for a modern fairy tale romance! Paper Smooches Royal Cuteness knight and princess stamped in Hero Arts Navy and Bubble Gum, with the castle in Butter Bar.  Created some depth by using Paper Smooches Borders 1 to create this sweeping pathway from MME The Sweetest Thing - Tangerine paper, overstamped with Simply Said sentiment, also in Navy. As the knights pony tail (or whatever it is officially known as LOL) is over the edge, Im linking up with The Little Red Wagon Off the Edge Challenge too.
