Iconic Celebration

Happy Monday stampers!  I hope you all had a fantastic weekend that involved some crazy time!  I had a weekend FULL of crafting.  I was finally able to attend a crafty retreat hosted by a long time stamping friend and it was amazing.  Two full days of stamping...it doesn't get much better than that!

This is one of the cards I created over the weekend.  Inspiration for this card came from the latest Freshly Made Sketches sketch challenge. I may have strayed away from the sketch a bit with a few extra elements...

I'm not going to lie, these candles are a little tricky to get lined up just right, but they were totally worth it in the end. 

I'm still working on building up my birthday card stash for teenage kiddos.  Blueberry Bushel, Granny Apple Green and Coastal Cabana is a great color combo that will work for a boy or a girl!

Hope you have a great Monday!

Happy Stamping!

Iconic Christmas In July

This weeks TGIF Challenges Theme Challenge is perfect for a Christmas in July creation!  I created some simple cards with the Online Exclusive Iconic Imagery Bundle, focusing on the wintery images.

I love the tree pattern from the Iconic Celebrations DSP.  I layered the DSP on a piece of Mossy Meadow, which was adhered to a Basic Beige card front.  Celebrate was stamped in Mossy Meadows on Basic Beige and die cut with the large label from the Iconic Dies.  The Season was heat embossed in white on Mossy Meadow and die cut with another fun label.  Some cute greenery, holly berries and sprigs were added for the perfect touch of traditional Christmas colors.

The Misty Moonlight snowflake pattern of DSP came in as a close second favorite!  I love the crisp, coolness of this paper!  I kept the same layout and simply swapped out colors.  The pretty little snowflakes were embossed in white on Mossy Meadow for the "coolest" added touch!

Are you ready to start making Christmas cards yet?  It feels a little early for me, but you can never have too many Christmas cards, right?!?

Happy Stamping!
