Around the World On Wednesday Color Challenge

Hello and welcome to the November Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop!  This month we have a color challenge to play along with.  Hop along with us and see which color combination each of us chose and what we created.

Did you just arrive form Theresa McEntee or are you just getting started? Either way, keep on hopping all the way through!

Since I'm in full on Christmas creating mode, I decided to go with the traditional colors.  I also pulled in inspiration from the beautiful wreath in the photo.

In keeping up with the 30 Day Christmas Card Making Challenge, I also added a pretty poinsettia from the A Little Bit Festive Specialty Designer Series Paper.  

This festive pack of paper has helped me keep up with this year's 30 Day challenge and still make pretty cards!  The die-cut designs make cards come together in no time. The Season's Greetings sentiment from Decorative Trees stamp set seemed fitting for this card, especially on this Spotlight in Nature die-cut circle.

Thinking of You Always

Happy Tuesday and welcome to an all new Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge.  This is a beautiful color combination!

With winter quickly arriving, I decided to use these colors with the Winterly Tree Tops bundle.  I stamped the birds in Memento Tuxedo Black on Basic Beige, coloring them Pebbled Path and Crumb Cake, and a little Peach Pie beak.

I stamped the Falling Snow on Balmy Blue in Whisper White Kraft Ink...it was really hard to capture it in the photo, but it's so pretty!  I tucked in a few Textured Floral sprigs in Pebbled Path and Cherry Cobbler to make the tree branch a little bit fuller.

The sweet sentiment was die cut using the Peaceful Season dies.

I can't wait to see what everyone is inspired to create with this pretty color combo!

Happy Stamping!

Frosty's Wonderland

 

It's a Merry Monday Montage 30 Day Christmas Card Making Challenge kind of day!  Whew...say that fast 3 times!

If you've been following along with me over on Instagram @craftsomnia, you know I'm playing along with the #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge again this year.  I love all of the fun challenge ideas that Martin comes up with and it's a great way to build up my Christmas card collection!  Today's challenge is Frosty's Wonderland.

The cute little snowman snow globe from the Snowy Scenes was perfect for today's challenge.  And the pretty wintery snowflake pattern helped to complete Frosty's Wonderland.

When you have paper as cute as this, you don't need much stamping. A stamped sentiment was all the this needed!  And I can't forget the White Loose Snowflakes...I love these little embellishments!

Be sure to check out @craftsomnia to see what all of my Monday Montage friends have to share with you today...you will be filled with creative inspiration!

Happy Stamping!

Candy Cane Wishes

Happy Friday stampers and welcome to an all new TGIF Challenges Sketch Challenge!  If you've been following along on my Instagram @craftsomnia, you know that I've also been playing along with Martin's 30 Day Christmas Card Making Challenge.  This sketch went along nicely with today's Candy Cane Wishes theme!

When I think of candy canes, I think of peppermint hot chocolate!  More Than Autumn bundle and the super cute Snowy Scenes DSP came together to make the cutest candy cane inspired card!

Poppy Parade and Petal Pink make fun color buddies for this sweet holiday card.  I may have to turn this into a hot chocolate packet holder...stay tuned!

I hope you'll join in the fun this week and share your sketch inspired project!

Happy Stamping!

Pink Christmas

Fall has just begun, but we are already thinking of a winter wonderland at Hand Stamped Sentiments this week.  This frosty inspiration challenge has me dreaming of cozy winter days and freshly fallen snow!

Inspired by the pretty pink snowflakes and frolicking deer, I pulled out Reindeer Fun again for another wintery creation.

I cut the two deer from the Reindeer Days DSP and placed them in the Grove {Dies}. I absolutely love the Bubble Bath background embossed with Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder.  Isn't it pretty?

The sentiment was stamped in Flirty Flamingo with some Soft Sea Foam holly. Such a quick and easy card!

Join along in the fun and share what you were inspired to create!

Happy Stamping!
