I'm dreaming of a bright Christmas

Hello! I was inspired by May's card in today's Holiday Style class at OnlineCardClasses...but she made her shape by stamping lots of little stamps...I masked to create a neon plaid. :) I ♥ neon! :)

I hope you're having a bright and happy week!

MCT 48th Edition Release Blog Hop!

Hello! You should have arrived from Lucia's Blog, if not, head HERE to start at the beginning. For my card today I have used the fabulous new Mixed Just For You set and the Stitched Apron Dies. I started by cutting the apron from white cardstock and making a plaid pattern on it by masking. I used Hot Lips, Sunshine, and Audrey Blue SimonSaysStamp inks...and Soft Granite Hero Arts ink. I stamped all the utensils and the cupcake and colored them with my Copics. The greeting is also from the new Mixed Just For You set. 

Your next stop on the hop is the fabulous RUTHIE

Just a gnote.

Hello! Today is day 2 of the Background Check class at OnlineCardClasses. I played along by masking a plaid background. I used hot lips, sunshine, jellybean, scuba, and wisteria inks from SimonSaysStamp. I stamped the sweet gnome from the You Gnome Me set by MyFavoriteThings and colored him with my Copics. I used the Stitched Rectangular Frames And More Dies and the Bunch Of Fun Circles Dies by MyCreativeTime.  I love how bright and happy this turned out. :)

I hope you're having a great week so far!

Plaid Monogram

Hello! I have another plaid card today. :) I wish the Clean and Simple 3 class at OnlineCardClasses would last forever! I find it so incredibly inspiring! I again made my background by masking off stripes. I used soft pool, pool, and stonewash shadow inks. I used the dashed line stamp from the Gift Card Sentiments set by MyCreativeTime with navy shadow ink. 

I used the Lower Case Fun Dies from MyCreativeTime to cut and inlay the monogram. I went over it with a shimmer marker and coated it with glossy accents. 

I hope you're having a great weekend!
