Holiday Home for CCMC331

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you all have a wonderful day with your friends and family!

I have a card to share with you today for the Thursday challenge from Create with Connie and Mary.  Here's a look at this week's sketch.




I love the simplicity of this sketch!  I wanted to do something a little unexpected, so I flipped the sketch upside down and used the tall house from Holiday Home for my banners.



Is this too fun or what!!!  I pondered different designer papers and just didn't get a good feel from them.  So, I looked through my stamps and came across the tall house in Holiday Home that mimicked the banner and knew that was my card!



All three houses were heat embossed in white on different colors of cardstock.  I went with Basic Gray, Smokey Slate and Soft Sky.  All three colors look beautiful against the Lost Lagoon card base that was embossed with the Lucky Stars embossing folder.



Below the houses is a piece of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper (LOVE IT!) and a small bow from 1/8" Silver Ribbon.

I absolutely LOVE the clean and crisp look of this card.  It's simple yet beautiful.  I hope it inspires you to take a little time to stamp and join the challenge with us!  You can find all the details and more wonderful samples from the Design Team at Create with Connie and Mary.


Thanks so much for visiting!  Happy Thanksgiving and happy stamping!

    I was not going to get this stamp set, but I had some free dollars from an order I put in and decided to get this. Love the way you used the houses instead of banners.

Let's get ready for Halloween!

I don't know about you, but I love little treats and decorations for Halloween.  I am already planning out some party ideas that I thought would be fun to share! I've been busy as you can see!  It all started with the thought of doing a banner and I just kept going and going! Each piece of the banner has different stamps and die cuts from the Howl-o-ween Treat bundle and was way more fun to create than I anticipated!  The panels are each 4" x 6" with the banner end hand cut.  I am actually working on a tutorial to release next week with the instructions for the banner and the treats so you can make your own!  UPDATE: YOU CAN FIND THE TUTORIAL HERE! Now let's check out all the treats.  I wanted a variety so there would be something for everyone's taste. I am well known for my chocolate chip cookies, so a cookie envelope was the first idea to come to mind.  They are 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" and are just the right size for a cookie!  The envelope punch board mad...

The new Occasions Catalog and Sale-a-bration Catalog are chock full of great products and we are here to give you great ideas for using them!!  Let me show you my card then I'll tell you more! I'm sure that anyone that follows my blog knows how much I love shaker cards and confetti, so I had to do one for today with a critter!!  The Cheerful Critters set is just so cute I knew it would be great as a shaker. The inspiration came from the December Paper Pumpkin kit that I have made a bunch of cards with.  It was super easy to recreate using the On Film framelits and the Best Year Ever Designer Series Paper.  The bear from Cheerful Critters was stamped and colored with blendabilities then fussy cut and glued to the front of the shaker.  A bunch of stars from the Confe...
