Swirly Christmas Trees

Here's a snowy Christmas scene I made using lots of lovely products.

The trees are from the new Hero Arts Swirl Christmas Digikit. I printed them onto some Grass Layering Paper, trimmed them, distressed the edges then inked with Grass Ink.  I found some pearl embellishments in the bottom of my embelly drawer... love finding and using up old products. :)  The snowy background is White Mister Huey's mist and the sentiment is from Merriest Christmas Wishes.

Enjoy your day. :)

Huge Ornament

Happy Tuesday to you.  You know by now what Tuesday means to me... new Hero Arts digikits! And today they have released 4 new kits: Ornamental, Swirl Christmas, Holiday Icons and Holiday Tags.  Today, I am showing a card made with the gorgeous Ornamental kit.
One of the joys of playing with digi stamps is that you can make them HUGE.  I love this beautiful ornament, and wanted it to be the focal point of the card.

I chose papers from Crystal Wilkerson's Merry and Bright Digikit, and did some paper piecing, adding foam adhesive for dimension.  The gorgeous brad is from an old collection by S.E.I.  Love the vintage feel.

Here you can see the layers a bit better...

Back tomorrow with more ideas for this week's releases.  Hope to see you then.

Hambo guest designer...

Hello, and happy Monday to you.

Today I am guest designing for Hambo Stamps.  They make very cute rubber stamps, and sell lots of them as digital stamps too.  They sent me an adorable Love Bug digi stamp, and I created this simple Valentine card.

I used a sentiment from Pink Petticoat's Tiny Sweetheart Sentiments digikit, and yummy patterned paper from Papertrey Ink.  

I coloured my Love Bug with Copics, then added Glossy Accents and Stickles for some shine... here's a close-up.

Thanks Hambo for inviting me to be your guest. I love your sweet images. :)

A VERY Pink Birthday...

It's time for a new Ribbon Girl colour challenge.  And this month the colours are pink and white. DELICIOUS.,

So I could have made any themed card... baby, Christmas (love pink for Christmas although I only use red and silver to decorate my house!), but I decided to make a ribbony girly birthday card. :)

I used some gorgeous stripy grosgrain ribbon, and added pink seam binding, pink twine and a sweet heart charm.  Too much deliciousness at The Ribbon Girl...

I used Hero Arts Happy Definition stamp for the background, stamping with Worn Lipstick Distress Ink on pink card.  I also used some cute MLS Alphas.
You can find all the challenge details HERE on the Ribbon Girl blog.  There's 2 fab prizes up for grabs!

Joy and Peace

Here's a very simple hybrid card I made using the new Snowy Night digikit.  The trees are from the kit - I altered them to sepia then layered over the snowflakes from the Holiday Houses digikit and added a sentiment from The Month of December digikit.

Some twill ribbon and button twine complete the card.
So that's it for this week's releases... see you tomorrow when I've got a very pink card to share... Enjoy your weekend.
Byeeee.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...

Hellooooo.

Although I am dreading snow this year (being pregnant and icy ground does NOT mix well), I love snowy themed Christmas cards.  And I've always loved this sweet Cap and Scarf penguin stamp.  I am so happy it's now digi and I can make it BIG!  It's in the new Christmas Critters digikit.

The snowy background on this card is from the Winterize digikit, and the sentiment is from Winter Bulletin.  I blinged up the penguin's hat and added some cotton wool on top too. :)
