Day 1 of the 12 days of Christmas

Hello! If you've just arrived from Nancy's Blog then you're hopping in the right direction, if not, please head back to Emma's BLOG to start at the beginning. For my card today I cut a sweet little elf from the Jolly Holidays cricut cartridge. His sweet face is from the Snowmany Face Assortment from PeachyKeenStamps.com. Oh and I first painted the light bulbs with Sizzling Red Glitter Paint and let it dry and then added some glossy accents. It looks really cool...like real glass bulbs! ;)

I used the awesome All Around Christmas stamp set and the Scallop and Stitched Circle dies for my sentiment. The cute little tree is also in the All Around Christmas set. OH I also wanted to mention that I like to use my EK success Scalloped Scallop edge punch when I used the Scallop and Stitched Circle dies...because the edges are the same! :) Ok...that's it for me, but first...

PeachyKeen Challenge 66

Hello! It's challenge time again and this time we have the above sketch to follow. No twist this time. Here is my take on the sketch...

I used the Winter Character With Stocking Hat die to stamp the sweet Penguin Girl onto. This die also coordinates with the Snow Girl stamp...so the die is a two-fer! ;) Anyhoo, I colored my penguin with my prismacolor colored pencils and blended with odorless mineral spirits. I paper pieced her scarf and hat. 

The adorable sentiment is from the Penguin Girl set as well. I used my FAVORITE Ice Crystal Glitter Paint  to give the ice she is on some shimmer. This stuff is awesome! Ok. pop over to the Challenge Blog to see what the other awesome designers have made...and to play along!!!!

p.s. I hope you were all able to get in on the awesome PeachyKeenStamps sale over the weekend! You'll have your awesome peachies in your hands soon! ;)

I also wanted to show that you don't have to have a scallop border punch to make a scalloped border...just punch a bunch of circles! ;) Mine are a little wonky, but I like it.

be my sweetie

Hello! For my card today I used Emma's new set called 100% Sweetness. I stamped the cupid images to make my background paper and then went over that with the new Tim Holtz distress ink call Festive Berries. This is an awesome red! ♥ it!!! {thanks for the happy mail Emma!} I then spritzed it with water mixed with perfect pearls in a mini mister. When you do this technique you will get splotches {which I love!} BUT if you want a smoother look, be sure to let your ink dry first. You can see the shine here...

It really is cooler in real life. I stamped the xoxo's from the 100% Sweetness set and they make a perfect 4 inch strip to go across a card front. ;) Lastly, I white heat embossed the sentiment onto the heart die that is INCLUDED in the 100% Sweetness set!!!! 

Have a FANTASTIC day!!

♥ Nikki ♥
