Merry, Merry Reindeer Christmas

Guess what day it is?  Friday and you all know what that means...an all new TGIF Challenges.  How fun is this sketch?!?

I feel like I should have titled this Grinch Deer...there's a whole lot go green, but I'm kind of loving it!  Granny Apple Green card base with a Forever Plaid 3D embossed layer because every Christmas card needs a little plaid!

I used the Perennial Postage dies to follow along with the sketch, filling in each postage stamp square with some extra cute Reindeer Fun die cuts.  Of course the adorable deer had to be front and center with the fun jingle bell pattern of Reindeer Days DSP peeking from behind.

The wreath and gift accompanied the deer with sweet simplicity.  I stamped an extra Merry to make this a Merry, Merry Christmas card.

I hope you'll join along in the fun!

Happy Stamping!

Sweet Days of Autumn

Welcome to our October edition of Around the World on Wednesday blog hop!  This month we have a fun sketch to play along with.  Just wait until you see all of the amazing interpretations! Whether you arrived here from the fabulous Theresa McEntee or you are just getting started, make sure you hop all the way through the line up!

I have fully embraced fall, even in my creating.  My color pallet has switched to warmer colors that feel like fall.  The adorable new Sweet Days of Autumn Designer Series Paper is perfect for fall creations.  Take a look!

I fussy cut these cute little critters and arranged them amongst a few other patterns of paper in the pack, with just a peek of Crush Curry.  A Crumb Cake card base with an extra layer of Birch Wood 3D texture gives the full fall effect!

These sweet little critters needed a sweet little sentiment.  Hello Friend from Country Birdhouse was just right!

Let's see what our friend Lori Willcox has to share with us next!

Merry Reindeer Fun

 Monday has, once again, snuck up on us way too fast! Why must the weekends go by so quickly?!?  At least this weekend was another creative weekend for me. I had my monthly card class on Friday and celebrated World Card Making Day with a friend on Saturday...so much fun!  And I even managed to get in some stamping on Sunday, just in time for another Merry Monday post!

The Reindeer Days Suite Collection is my favorite in the holiday mini catalog.  I love the adorable stamped images and the DSP is so festive and fun!

I played along with the latest Freshly Made Sketches challenge as a starting point for the card.  You can never go wrong starting with a grea656t sketch!

How cute is this sweet buck and little baby deer?!? I love this pine tree pattern of Reindeer Days DSP...the greens are so good together!  I used the Painted Trees embossing folder to add a little texture in the background and love how it turned out.  And let's talk about the Real Red & White Baker's Twine...do you all love it as much as I do?  I'm really hoping the bring back more twine like this in other colors!

Here's to a happy Monday and a fantastic week.  May your week go by quickly and your weekend drag on!

Happy Stamping!

Brighten Your Day

Happy October friends!  This weeks Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge feels like fall.  And you can almost taste it...Peach Pie, Pumpkin Pie and Pecan Pie are all so yummy!

I used the Changing Leaves bundle with these gorgeous fall colors and created layers and layers of leaves.  There is just a hint of gold mixed in from the Season of Elegance Specialty Designer Series Paper.  Isn't it pretty?

The Changing Leaves Hybrid Embossing folder is probably one of my all time favorites. The texture and detail in this folder is just beautiful!

I hope these colors inspire you to create something beautiful today!

Happy Stamping!
