Snowman Tag

The previous Christmas tag was so much fun to make that I created another version using a watercolor panel,  Reverse Confetti's Gift Card Tag Holder, and Verve's Jolly Jingles.  The Eliza snowflake die is and exclusive from Simon Says Stamp.

Thanks for taking a look,

Holly Jolly Christmas

Must say that I bake like crazy, decorate the whole house, listen to Christmas tunes almost 24/7 during between Thanksgiving and Christmas....but do holiday crafting?  Not so much.  I need to make that a bigger priority.  It was such fun to create a simple tag using Reverse Confetti's Gift Card Tag Holder, Verve's Jolly Jingles, and Little Inker's Holly Jolly dies.

So thankful for a little time to rest and craft.  Happy Sunday,
Christine

November VLV---Autumn Blessings

 If you haven't seen the new VLV sketch and designers' samples, stop by for some inspiration!  The sketch is super easy to follow, as measurements have been added.  That, however, didn't stop me from making a crafting mistake.  I glued down the floral panel only to realize that the horizontal strip was still lying on my desk.  Oops!  I still enjoyed using the new Autumn Leaves and matching dies with a pretty stack of paper called Cedar Lane.

Thanks for stopping by,
Christing

AHSC 236: Happy Birthday

This is take two on my card using this sketch.  The first card was fall themed, featuring circular digital stamps.  I colored the images, fussy cut them, and created a glue smudge that only got worse when I tried to remove it with a pick up square. Should have waited for it to dry and maybe the printer ink would not have smudged.  Lesson learned.

This card features a kraft and black panel cut from a stack recently purchased at a great sale price, a Tilth Floral die which was cut from silver poster board, and the layered flowers were attached with a brad.  The sentiment is from one of my beloved Verve sets:  Poppy Birthday.


Thanks for visiting.  Hope your crafting adventures include glue that stays in its proper place.

Viva La Verve: Happy Fall

Fall arrived in our neck of the woods today with a rainy cold front that hit about the time church got out.  It is certainly welcome and refreshing. Verve's new Autumn Leaves is versatile and lots of fun...maybe a grown up version of jumping into a pile of leaves.  The leaves were randomly stamped on craft, colored with Prismacolors (sorry for the glare in the late-night photos), and the panel was cut with a stitched rectangle die.  The next layer was distressed and sponged with desert sand.  The pretty seam binding was purchased at Crop Stop.

Thanks for visiting and have a great week!
Christine
