Christmas Wishes From Jessie

I created this card for the Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge SSS30 and for The Play Date Cafe Challenge #4, to use the colors in the color palette above. I used this adorable image from Sweet 'N Sassy called Christmas Cheer. This is the perfect stamp set to have for the dog and cat lover. I will be sending these cards to my family and friends who know my Jessie girl, so the card is really from her. Some of you may think I am crazy for sending cards to people from my dog, but I do not have children so my Mom keeps my dog and she is a granddog to her.....hehehe. My Mom loves her as much as I do.

Anyway, I am happy with the colors, the lay-out, and the image; it all works well together. I could not resist adding the red button, I think it really adds to the whole card. I added chunky glitter to the stocking ends, so cuuuute. The card stock is Prism and the designer paper is SU Thoroughly Modern. I paper pieced the main part of the stocking. I hope you are preparing for Christmas, you know it is only 38 days away, can you believe it? I hope you have a fantastic day and enjoy!

Post Card Christmas

I created this for today's CC245 to use Chocolate, Red, and Artichoke(I used Olive). This is also for the OCC sketch challenge. I would have luv to have had the SU Winter Post set today, but I have not bought it, yet. Notice I said yet, it has been on my wish list since it came out....hehehehe. I used what I had to make it look like a post card. I used the Verve sets Christmas In The Air and O Christmas Tree. I used the SU Simply Scrappin designer paper Christmas Jingle. To make the stamp I cut a piece of card stock using the rectangle scalloped nesties. I added a snowflake for the stamp design and a bigger snowflake for the main panel. I hope you like my post card creation, take time to for others today, enjoy!

Winter Song Christmas

I have created this gift box full of cards and used four different sketches to complete it. The first sketch is Jen's Sketch For You To Try, SFYTT. I used the SU wide Baja Breeze ribbon and the Verve Christmas In The Air set. The second one is Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch SSSC44. I used the SU top die instead of a circle, I added polished embellies, sponging and distressing. the third sketch is for Taylor's Sketch TESC91. I used only designer paper, some stitching and a punched snowflake covered with glitter. The sentiment you can't see is "Merry Christmas". The final sketch is for The Pink Elephant Challenge, TPE41. It is the little circle card, I used the Verve set Blessed Christmas. All card stock is Prism and the designer paper is SEI Winter Song. This is a gift that I am donating to a friend, for an upcoming action. I hope you have a wonderful day and be sure to make the most of family moments, enjoy!

From The Heart

Good morning, it's mojo time! Today's sketch is lots of fun, I like having the different dp, embossing, and stamping backgrounds all together. I have need several Sympathy cards lately, I should make these to have on hand and then they wouldn't be as hard to do. I used the Verve stamp Budding Blossom and the sentiment is from Forever In Our Hearts. The background behind the main panel is Bountiful Backgrounds, I heat embossed it to give it a little shine and depth. I used nestie label 1 to cut out the sentiment, I added ribbon, with twin and a button. I added stickles to the flower to add a little something to the image.

Be sure to head over to the Mojo Monday Blog and check out the other mojo makers creations! I am a busy gal this week, creating and designing; did I mention I am off...hehehehe...I enjoy being able to stay at home and create, so be sure to check back often!

Hello Flower

If you are looking for the Thankful For Friends Faith Blog Hop click here.

Good morning gals, I am super excited about today's card, why you ask? Well, our church sends care packages to the soldiers for Christmas and I always include handmade cards for them to send back home to love ones. I get over joyed by giving them my cards, I like knowing they have a special card to send to family and friends. Today's card is going in that pile.

If you are not playing Rachel's Cupcake Inspiration Challenge, you should give it a try. I luv inspiration challenges and the cupcakes she finds to inspire us are gorgeous! I used several goodies from the Hope Stamps Eternal Store. The cuttlebug embossing folder is called Morrocan Screen and the chocolate designer paper is Basicgrey Nook & Pantry. I did a little sanding to give it a distressed look, I added a rust ribbon. The hello sentiment is from the set Inkadinkado Hello Hummingbird, I added several Zva Creative Pearls under the hello sentiment. Let me tell you about the flower it is Bella Blvd Blooms, they are cotton and the layers can be taken apart. I left this one together, since it is cotton it absorbs ink very well. I heavily sponged it with my SU Really Rust ink and then went back with a thin line of glue on the petal tips and added SU Dazzling Diamonds. It is really pretty IRL. It really makes a statement. Be sure to use the keyword CIC33 when loading to on line galleries and upload you creation to Mr Linky at Hope Stamps Eternal Blog. I hope you like my hello flower creation, enjoy your day and take time to hug someone today!

I created this card for today's IC206, I was inspired by this necklace here. It didn't go exactly like I had planned, but I am pleased with the outcome. I used Amber's Viva la Verve, VLVNOV03 sketch with a twist, the twist was to make a holiday card. I need lots more Christmas cards, so I was glad for the challenge.

The snowflakes are chipboard from K&Company called Evergreen. I adhered with glue dots. I used black ribbon with a big gold stone and added pearls to the snowflakes that are embossed.

I hope you like my Christmas creation and be sure to stop by often in the coming week, I am off from work and plan on bringing to you lots of creations. If you haven't started thinking about a Christmas to do list now is the time. Plan those family gatherings, cookie baking with friends, and breakfast get togethers. Also make time to do for those who are less fortune, we need to help one another! Enjoy.

I used designer paper from Nook and Pantry and the embossing folder is Morrocan Screen both of these items are from Hope Stamps Eternal.

Two post in one night, wow; I am trying to do a little catch up. I need to make several sympathy cards for a customer.

I was told about this new challenge called The Play Date Cafe, PDCCo3. I would have chosen another theme other than sympathy but I needed to make one. I did try to think a little creative, the flourish is like the waves of sound the guitar would make, I really did do some thinking....lol. I used the Verve stamp Because Of You and SU Day & Night designer paper, I added ribbon, and some silver beads. I kept it super simple. Enjoy your evening!

I created this card for today's CC244, to use bravo burgundy, kraft, and vanilla all papers are Prism. I also used Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch SSSC43.

It can make a fine point or line of paint, the color I used today is Snickerdoodle. I used a polka dotted burgundy ribbon, a corduroy brad, I pinched the butterflies using Martha Stewart butterfly punch. The cuttlebug Holly Ribbon embossing folder and Zva Creative pearls are from Hope Stamps Eternal. I hope you like my creation for these two challenges and can make time to play along.

Christmas Blessings

Good Monday morning, it is mojo time! I have created an old world style Christmas card today, all because I wanted to use my new SU wide ribbon....hehehe. I have used the Verve sets Blessed Christmas and Holly Jolly Christmas. The dp is Cosmo Cricket, and card stock is Prism. I did a little stitching and sponging. The little curly flourish is a new Christmas punch I got at Michael's. It is a border punch, but once you punch it these little curly flourishes fall out. I glued them together to make a little embellishment and added a little stickles on the holly. Of course we can't forget the wide ribbon, that's the inspiration behind my card. I hope you have a wonderful Monday and have the opportunity to bless someone today, for it is you who will truly be blessed!

Simple & Sweet Christmas Cards

I created this snowflake card for today's FS143 Miss Boo, Jen. Jen creates fabulous CAS cards and when I saw her snowflake card here I knew instantly I was going to case that one. I changed very little because I adore her card so much. I added red, glitter to the snowflakes, and a button. I used the Verve set Christmas In The Air. This style of card is super for Christmas cards, easy to produce and yet very sweet.

I have had a jammed packed fun weekend. I have a friend who sells Creative Memories and she sponsors a card workshop and invites a Close To My Heart consultant and a Stampin Up demonstrator. My good friend and my SU demo, Deb Horst and I go to the workshop together. I took two Christmas cards with me to the workshop to reproduce. The card below is one of the two, it was a huge hit. It is super simple yet so completely adorable. I used the new SU shimmer paint for the antlers, added the very merry sentiment and the wide ribbon attached with a button and twine.



I also planned our Harvest Party at church which was last night, that was also a huge success. We had a talent show, karaoke, a cake, walk, hide rides, a hay mountain, and a bonfire......lots of food hot dogs, chips, candy, and shelled peanuts; a fun filled evening. I am super exhausted and ready to chill for the evening. One last thing to do though, I have to get my creation ready for tomorrows Mojo Monday Sketch. Be sure to visit me in the morning and check out the fabulous sketch and my mojo creation for the week. Enjoy your evening!

Sunbeam Birthday Day Bundle-Owen

If you are looking for the Cupcake Inspiration Challenge scroll down one or click here.

Good morning and welcome to the Sweet 'N Sassy Blog Hop. I am bringing to you today one of the new released advance order Sunbeams. There are four different children in the set, you can learn all about each one here. This little guys name is Owen, here is a little about his character.

"He loves memorizing scripture and telling others about Jesus. He wants to be a missionary when he grows up."

This new line of clear stamps consists of 4 characters: Emma, Luke, Owen & Caitlyn. There is a short line that describes each image. Every few months SNSS will release a new series with a different theme. Each series will only be available for a limited time! Our first series is called Birthday Party in honor of our 2nd birthday :).

I colored him with copics and added the sentiment to the bottom. I added some scoring, a scalloped border and the ribbon tied with twine and a button. If you just happened upon my blog and want to see all the children in the set start at the top of this list and continue on the hop.
