Note of Thanks from the Heart

Welcome to an all new TGIF Challenges Theme Challenge! We are helping you get a start on your after Christmas Thank You notes.

A Paper Pumpkin alternative from the December 2024 Notes from the Heart Paper Pumpkin kit was perfect for this theme challenge.

I love Blackberry Bliss and Mossy Meadow together...they are just so pretty!  I cut apart one of the envelopes from the kit to die cut a couple of ferns from the add on dies. The envelope was also used from the card front, with a little extra Mossy Meadow blended around the edges.

Thank You was stamped in Blackberry Bliss on one of the sentiment labels provided in the kit.  A few gold Neutrals Adhesive-Backed Sequins helped bring out the gold around the label.

Now my goal is to actually get this Thank You card in the mail!

Happy Stamping!

Cookies for Santa

We are serving up some Christmas Cookies over at TGIF Challenges this week...just in time for Santa's big delivery day!

The Joyful Images Mix & Match Ephemera Pack was full of fun images to help create these cookies and hot cocoa for Santa!

A few Snowy Wonder snowflakes added a bit of wintery cheer.  I'm loving the white snowflakes against the Pretty Peacock background!

A few of the Real Red & White Peppermints were the perfect final touches...Santa will love this card!

Happy Stamping!

Fruit Salad Thank You

Happy Friday friends!  It's time for an all new TGIF Challenges sketch challenge and it's a fun one!

As soon as I saw this sketch, I knew I needed to snip some of the yummy fruits from the upcoming Sale-A-Bration Fruit Salad DSP!

This Designer Series Paper is FULL of yummy fruits.  I snipped out some of my favorites to play along with the sketch.  For those who know me well, you'll notice that I didn't include a banana...LOL!

I added some texture with the Dashing Designs 3D embossing folder and a bit more color with another fun pattern of DSP.  I love the extra pop of Garden Green from the Adhesive-Backed Transparent Dots.

A simple Simply Said Thank You sentiment was the perfect finishing touch!

Happy Stamping!

County Flowers Christmas

Welcome to the last Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge of 2024.  We have a beautiful Inspiration Challenge to help inspire your creativity this week!

I was inspired by the festive holiday floral arrangement.  Take a peek at what I was inspired to create!

Country Flowers is a bundle that can be used for all of the seasons...which is why it is one of my favorite bundles!   

The Pecan Pie snowflake pattern from the Sentimental Christmas DSP was perfect for this challenge.  I love the warmth that radiates from all of these beautiful colors!

Be sure to join along in the creative fun.  We always love to see what you are inspired to create!

Happy Stamping!

Little Red Sled

Happy Friday friends and welcome to the latest TGIF Challenges Color Challenge!

I'm loving this festive color challenge.  Adding Basic White as a main color always throws me off a bit, but since it's the snowy time of year, it made it a bit easier.

I created a snowy background by cutting stripes of Basic White embossed with the Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder.  Thanks to Freshly Made Sketches for a fun sketch this week!

The Basic White background really makes the Real Red sled pop...and it also made it super difficult to photograph in our gloomy, gray weather!  Of course I had to add the ice skates, complete with Real Red laces and gold blades.

The Real Red & White Bakers Twine and the Iridescent Foil Gems helped to complete  the color combo. 

Join in the fun and play along with us!

Happy Stamping!
