Warm Winter Wishes, Addie

Hello. There is a little girl named Addie, who is likely celebrating her last Christmas. Her family thought it would be nice for her to get a lifetime of Christmas cards. You can read about her story HERE, and like her Facebook page HERE. I encourage you to make her a card. :) 

For my card for her, I've used my brand new Cricut Explore to cut the adorable Faceless Penguins Peachy Pieces SVG from PeachyKeenStamps. You get 2 cutie pie penguins in the set. I gave miss penguin her sweet face with the Happy Penguin Couples 1 1/8 set from PeachyKeenStamps.

I used the Cableknit Background from PeachyKeenStamps on her hat. I inked the hat with bubble gum Hero Arts shadow ink, and then stamped the background with the same ink. I used passion flower Hero Arts shadow ink for the purple bits. I added wink of stella to the purple bits as well. The greeting is from the Holiday Sentiments set by PeachyKeenStamps. And I made her name with the Alpha Pack set from MyCreativeTime. Miss penguin is on a WOBBLE so she wiggles. :)

Season's Greetings

Hiya! For my card today I used the super cute Faceless Snowmany Mittens and Hats set from PeachyKeenStamps. I stamped and paper pieced the head and hands. I made the body of the snowman with die cut circles. I went around the edges with a black marker to try to make it look more like it was stamped. Her face is from the Happy Snow Couples Face Assortment also from PeachyKeenStamps. 

The whole idea here is that the snowman looks like you're looking down at it from above...make sense? I added wink of stella to the hat, mittens, and around the outline of the snowman/lady. The greeting is from the Winter Cheer set by MyCreativeTime.

Sending Eskimo Kisses...

Hello! I hope this evening finds you well, and hopefully out of your turkey coma. ;) For this card, I started by stamping the Cloudy Day background from PeachyKeenStamps with Soft Granite Hero Arts shadow ink. I cut some white cardstock with the Fun Stitched Edges dies by MyCreativeTime to make my snow. I stamped the Igloo from PeachyKeenStamps. Colored it with my Prismacolor pencils, and added some wink of stella for sparkle. I fussy cut it out, but there is a Igloo Die to make it easier. 

I stamped one of the adorable penguins from the Faceless Penguins set by PeachyKeenStamps with Charcoal Hero Arts shadow ink. This set comes with 2 faces, but I chose a face from the Happy Penguin Couples Face Assortment. I colored in the sweet penguin with my Prismacolor pencils. To finish, I added the greeting that is included in the adorable Igloo set from PeachyKeenStamps. 

OH...guess what?! I caved an ordered a Cricut Explore today! :) Click HERE for the deal at Walmart online, no trampling necessary. :)

Each snowflake is unique

Hiya! Today is day one of the Holiday Card Workshop class at OnlineCardClasses. I was inspired by Debby Hughes' card. She is seriously amazing. She made a card with a rounded tag, and the focus on the bottom left corner...so I did too. :) I used the Stitched Rectangular Frames And More set by MyCreativeTime for my card base and layer. I used the Just Tags set for my rounded tag. I dipped it in peacock feathers distress ink and water. Then I decided I wanted to dip it in gold...so I used Heidi Swapp Gold Lame color shine spray. It reactivated the distress ink, so the color changed. No biggie. I dig it. :) 

I die cut snowflakes with the Winter Flake Dies. I heat embossed them with Wow Ultra High Gold Rich embossing powder. I stamped and heat embossed the greeting from the You're So Cool set on the banner from the Stitched Vintage Labels Dies.  I added Gold Sparkle Lawn Fawn twine. 

Sorry about the crummy photos. It's freakishly dark. Freakishly early. Ahh, time change.

MCT Sneaks day 3

Hello! It's day 3 of sneaks for MyCreativeTime. Today we are sneaking a new set called Winter Cheer. I stamped and gold heat embossed the mittens from the set. I water colored them with picked raspberry and spiced marmalade distress inks. I then cut them out with the matching dies in the Winter Cheer set. LOVE LOVE LOVE this new style of die that allows you to cut after stamping! Makes it so much easier! :) 

I used the same inks and some gold lame Color Shine spray to make my splatters. I used the Bunch Of Fun Circles Dies for the circles. I added a greeting from the set on the inside. {forgot a pic} 

Pop over to MyCreativeTime to see more sneaks!

PeachyKeen Snow Girl :)

Hello! Today I made a card with the adorable new Snow Hugs Snowman from PeachyKeenStamps. I stamped her with Charcoal Hero Arts Shadow Ink. Did you know that Shadow Inks are waterproof? Yep, they are! :) I water colored her with distress markers. 

I added stickles to her hat and mittens. TIP: Use a paintbrush to add stickles with precision. :) All the patterned papers are by Lawn Fawn. 

The stamp I used on this card along with the entire July release {minus the stamp of the month set} is ON SALE at PeachyKeenStamps! Also, check out the Specials for this month! Lots of great Christmas stamps for great prices! :)
