Funky, Flaky, Snowman

Here is a Christmas card I did a few weeks ago, but just now had time

to photograph and upload. We are getting hammered

with snow this weekend, so I've had some time to

catch up and stamp. It's been nice.

For this card I used my Funky Christmas set from Gina K.

Even the snowflake is from the set. I stamped it onto Kraft cardstock and then added some Stickles to the tips of the flakes. (It's hard to see in the photo, but looks really cute IRL)

The snowman is just colored with my colored pencils with some Stickles on his buttons too.

I used a couple of my snowflakes from my SU Little Felt Flurries set

and added the sentiment from my Papertrey Ink set

Mixed Messages . Tied some red raffia ribbon on to finish it off.

Well, off to stamp some more tonight! Thanks for looking!

***P.S. - It pained me to do this, but I had to add a year on to the age under my profile. OUCH! Yes, today was my birthday and I am now 39. Gonna hurt even more next year..........

Tiny Trinity for HHH

No, I did not drop off the face of the earth!

I've been wrapping up my college classes these past couple of weeks and busy with research papers and finals. They are now complete and

I am happy to report that I got a 4.0 in both of my courses.

Tonight was the first night I've been able to stamp in some time.

This little stamp - Tiny Trinity from Unity - has been

crying out to me since I orderd it a few weeks ago.

Anyhoo, this is the card I came up with for my

Hip Hop Hangover post. Enjoy!!

Unity Wednesday......on Tuesday???

This week, we have moved it all back a day due to Thanksgiving falling on Hip Hop Thursday. Wednesday challenge is up on Tuesday instead.

This weeks challenge comes to us from the very talented lady from across the "pond" - Carol. Requirements: red & white with a thankful sentiment. Easy enough......

I used my Unity Kit of the Month for November and the gratitude sentiment from the Unity Floral Fantastical Kit. The dotted background is from my SU Bitty Backgrounds set. Paper is SU Riding Hood Red and Whisper White. I added some flowers in the middle with white glitter and some red glitter around the outside of the frame. There you have it!

Don't forget, Hip Hop is happenin' on Wednesday this week!! See you there!!

Funky Snowman

Here is a Christmas card using the new release set Funky Christmas from Gina K. Isn't this snowman adorable? The sentiment is from one of the other new releases, Seasonal Sayings. These sets compliment each other nicely. Both are a must have!!

I used Kraft for the card base, some SU mellow moss & creamy caramel and whisper white. The DP is from the Basic Grey Wassail 6x6 pad.

I punched the snowflakes to match and used a little bit of Stickles on the flakes, the buttons on "the man", and on the little flake on the sentiment. It's hard to see them in the photo, but they are there. Most cards are so much nicer in person than in their photo.

Thanks for looking and have a great night!!

Happy Holiday Card............

Here is a card I put together this weekend. I cased a card I had seen on Gina K's blog A Day in the Life. I bought this Black Market DP from Gina K over two months ago and she pulled it out to make a card this past week. They are not your typical Christmas colors, but they work for some reason. I love the rich colors in this paper and it has wonderful texture too. It's hard to tell from the photo, but there is some silver glitter penned on there with a Gelly Roll pen. The sentiment is from the new Gina K set Seasonal Sayings, from her last release. This set goes well with the super cute Funky Christmas set also released. Thanks for looking!!

Stamp Simply #62

I was blog hopping the other day and came across a challenge on No Time to Stamp? It involved writing your sentiment on ribbon. I had been playing around with some yummy designer paper (Black Market) that I had bought from Gina K a while back, and put this simple one together. These colors look so good together, don't they? The sentiment is from the Untiy Kit of the Month for November (see post below). Put a couple of punched swirls in the corners for some accent. The paper is SU Glorious Green, Chocolate Chip, and Whisper White. Ink is Chocolate Chip. Back with more of this gorgeous designer paper tomorrow!!

Wednesday Challenge is here again......

Got my Unity Kit of the Month for November just in time for the Wednesday Challenge. This weeks challenge comes to us from Michelle. The colors were Really Rust, Certainly Celery, and Chocolate Chip. I have been dying to use this super cute tree!! It's a pretty simple layout, but I like it. I added a few dew drops and some contrasting ribbon and stamped the delightful sentiment up both sides of the tree. That's it! Make sure you stop by SCS Unity Forum for some super fun Hip Hoppin' on Thursday. Don't forget to check out the other Wednesday Challenge ladies down in the blog roll on the left!!
