TAC Deck the Halls Blog Hop

I love blog hops! It is so fun to jump around and see what everyone makes! This hop is sponsored by The Angel Company and is a great way to inspire your holiday craftiness! On another note... I just realized this is my 100th post.... wow, a milestone for me! So, for a little something fun, I have some blog candy coming to a  random comment on this post.

My first example is a card I made for a Paper Wings Christmas Card Swap. I used Festive Bouquets for my image and colored with copics. The background is from Vintage Santa, stamped in Versa Mark and embossed with Transcendence. I added some texture with the scor-bug and inked it all up with Burnt Umber Palette ink.





This next example was so much fun to create! I think I still need to do some to it, maybe stamp some snowflakes or draw some swirls but I am happy so far with it!

I used Havin’ a Ball and Gingerbread Fun, all colored with copics. Patterned Paper, tags, CS, and Ribbon are all Reece SWIC and coordinating elements. I used buttons, floss, twine and also a gel pen for some highlights. Even some Crystal Lacquer to shine up the ornaments.

Thanks so much for stopping by, let me know what you think. Go take a look at what everyone else is doing and join in the fun if you can!

Gift Card Holder Swap

I took part in a Gift Card Holder Swap in December and this little cutie is what I came up with... along with the input of a felly Scrapper!






This little house is from the Gingerbread Fun Stamp Set, and is colored in with Copics. Add some stickles and pop it up and voila! On the inside the sentiment is from our Level D hostess set Label Lingo.

I hope you like it! Let me know what you think.

November Angel Art Blog Hop

It is blog hop time again with some fellow Angels on Paper Wings! Great place to find examples that you can search out by stamp set. This month we are doing Holiday Cards & Tags in 10 minutes or less. Your card must be able to be assembled in 10 minutes or less, start to finish. So be sure to click the links below to see what everyone has made!

This was a challenge for me, I love to color and most of my coloring methods take a long time with all the blending involved. I chose to use my AquaColor crayons for these examples, you can fly right through coloring making it feasible to make alot of them for sending out to friends and family!

This first card uses stamps from Gingerbread Fun and Trendy Greetings. I used a paper piercer and Scor-Bug. I stamped stars on the red with Versa Mark ink.

This card uses the Level C Hostess set Seasonal Snow Globes. Super cute set to use year round. I added a curvy edge with the cloud scissors and again the paper piercer.

This card showcases my new favorite tool, the Scor-Bug... I can't get over the little "extra" something it gives to cards and layouts and it is so easy to use. Stamps are from Flowers and Holly and Vintage Santa.

Check out these great examples in the blog hop!
