Happy Winter Friend

Hi! I have a second post for today inspired by the Double D Challenge Snow. I truly meant to upload a card for the Birthday challenge...and well time got away...But Happy Birthday Double D! Meanwhile I had a blast layering all theses die cuts with the cute dogs & snowman. I wanted to show off the dog house too...but it did get layered a bit more than I thought it would. Next time. 

The inside I added a few more cardinals....with icicles.

A closer view.....lots of tiny pieces but I am happy with the end results....

The inspiration....Thanks

Thanks for stopping by today...

Have a great evening!

Hot Coffee/Cocoa

Hi, I know this card is a little late but it was for the Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog. However, I decided to share it here for the Double D Challenge Hot Beverages. It was designed for Divinity Designs.

I love the colors together....I found these cute little candies on top that matched up.

A closer view...

Have a great day!

More September Release with Divinity Designs

Hi, I wanted to share with you more projects using the beautiful New Sept Release with Divinity Designs. I love the colors of this autumn paper and all the die cuts 

My nephews son has autism and well I am always thinking about the color teal...plus I believe a teal pumpkin is for NO candy. I think it is a good idea since children should have limited sweets. 

I love this rudolph stamp set....It went perfectly with this Christmas paper...Made me think of my childhood and Elsa...all in one! 

Thanks for stopping by today

Beary & Bright

Hi! Today, I made a new card for next years holidays. It was inspired by this month's Cookie Challenge # 164 January. It also started off as a sketch over on scrapbook.com but as usual I added a lot more elements. Especially, these new beautiful 49 market flowers that I received from my Secret Santa. 

The bear is from Cheery Lynn Designs and the sentiments and hillside are from Lawn Fawn. 

The pine branches that I have used recently are from Divinity Designs. Love them! 

Here is the cookie inspiration! The bear with a scarf and snowflakes.

Happy Holidays

Hi, I am sharing today a card for next year holiday. It was inspired by a few challenges. The beautiful flowers I recently received from my Secret Santa swap. It started off shabby chic and turned a bit to a fun card...with the snowman and candies. 

A side view.....I used gold so it is a bit hard to see...but it is shiny.

Happy Holidays

Hello again! Lisa here today sharing a holiday card using lots of Dies R Us die cuts! I figured it's never too early to start on those upcoming holiday card right? When I seen the Elizabeth Craft Designs skates and poinsettia I just knew I had to own it. 

I used some shiny silver paper on the skate. I also weaved some cord through the shoelaces. The background gingham has been one of my favorites, but I also wanted to add an oval in a different patterned paper. 

The pine branches are so beautiful and well with the gorgeous poinsettias they are perfectly matched. The tiny sentiment from Lawn Fawn is the perfect size to place on a tag and hang from the skate shoelace.

The skate...easy to put together.

I used bother the smaller and the larger poinsettias together. I wet them and curled them with a stylet. I chose white, but I will back with red soon! 

In the center, I used gala glitz and wink of stella on the leaves. However, the die cuts come with extra leaves and tiny circles for the center. 

Die Cuts Used:

Elizabeth Craft Designs - Dies - Skates

Elizabeth Craft Designs - Dies - Small Poinsettia

Elizabeth Craft Designs - Dies - Poinsettia

Impression Obsession - Dies - Pine Branch

Yeti It's Cold Outside Lawn Fawnatics # 47 What's The Weather?

Hi! Welcome back to another card that I made for this week's Lawn Fawnatics #47 What's The Weather? I decided to make another "double slider card" So the reason behind my "snowy" card was because we had a huge snow storm here in the valley of the sun, Fountain Hills AZ! OMG it was crazy!!! I have lived here for over 20 years and I seen snow in town once that was very light and lasted about 10 minutes. This snow that is pretty much gone now, came the other evening and lasted for 24 hours. I mean heavy snow too! wow! 

So here "yeti" and some "white trees","simple puffy clouds" and "snowflakes".

Inside view using "hillside boarders" and the paper is from Lawn Fawn Really Rainbow Christmas collection.

The adorable slider card that I can't seem to stop making! LOL I left the bottom open blank white for more snow scene and if I wanted to add a secret message. 

The inspiration photo! Thank you! 

Thanks for stopping by today! 

Keep warm!

Merry and Bright

Good Morning! Happy Monday...well, I wish I could say that Im home today crafting but Im not...off to work later this morning. I wanted to share with you a new card that is part of my stash going out this holiday season. It actually started off looking just HORRIBLE! However, somehow I was able to pull it together...now Im a bit happier.

I used lots of die cuts and layered them under the holly and flower. The trees are new from Rubbernecker Stamps that I just purchased on Sunday....with lots of other new goodies... The paper is from Our Daily Bread, it is their new Christmas paper collection for this year. The sentiment is from scrapbook.com called "Holly Jolly sentiments" I used their red hybrid ink to stamp it on the white paper. 

A closer view with the cute little red dots that I seem to be going to a lot for decorating my trees this year....

Have a great day!

Sending Warm Wishes

Hi! Welcome back to my blog. I can't believe it has been almost a full week of no crafting? Well, yesterday I did go to the local card convention and sure did stock up on lots of goodies. Things I need right? Well, I wanted to make a card for the Lawn Fawn Challenge # 39 Bling it Out. Here is what I came up with for the challenge. 

My bling was sequins and glitter pen on the trees. I just bought this adorable Yeti stamps and die cuts yesterday! Too cute! The sentiment  have had since last year and I used new papers from Lawn fawn too. 

I also used stitched hillside and rectangle from Lawn Fawn. Here is the inspirational photo.

Believe in the Magic of Christmas

Good Morning! I wanted to make some more Christmas cards to send out this season. I originally was going to make this card for a CAS Moonlight challenge. It started off that way actually more elegant. Then somehow I couldn't help myself and added all the adorable Lawn Fawn stamps. It is not so CAS anymore. Oh well....

The background houses are from Cheery Lynn Designs. The beautiful fir trees are from Impression Obsession and the gorgeous sentiment is from scrapbook.com called Holly Jolly sentiments. 

I just love th tiny santa over the moon. The stitched circle is one of my favorite die cuts also the stitched hillside borders.

Love the sentiment stamp set from scrapbook.com too! Been using it a lot for lots of my holiday cards this year...

Thanks for stopping by today!

The Miracle of Christmas

Hello Happy Sunday! Yesterday i was looking through the card gallery over at scrapbook.com when I ran across a BEAUTIFUL autumn card that I had to make! I decided to make it into a Christmas card using lots of Cheery Lynn Designs (Makers Movement) die cuts, Tim Holtz trees, Lawn Fawn hillside, and the amazing sentiment from Scrapbook.com. 

The patented paper is from Doodlebug and I added flowers from a super old stash from Prima. I added green leaves to match the Prima flowers. Even though they are not green this time of the year with snow....the magic of crafting! 

Here is my inspiration...a few different pieces but the concept is the same. 

Thank you Heather!

Thanks so much for stopping by today
