Olo!
Today I'm sharing another card that I made during my MFT guest spot. I wanted to create a small contained indoor scene
combining the mischievous pup who is all tangled up in lights along with the
tree and gifts that are from the Happy Pawlidays set. I masked the tree and two of
the gifts onto the background along with the picture frame from the LJD Make Yourself at Home set, then I grabbed the Small Brick Wall Stencil and inked over everything to create the cozy brick wall. I used the coordinating BB Happy Pawlidays dies
to cut out the pup and one of the gifts so that I could easily pop them
up off the scene just a bit. There is glossy accents on the lights which looks cool in person but didn't quite get picked up in the photo. The large sentiment from the Handwritten Holiday set is a nice counter balance to the top heavy design and since I used red ink it also ties in to the bits of red up in the scene.
Later gators! :)

Hey there!
It's the second Wednesday of the month and that means it's time for the November 'anything goes' challenge over on the 7 Kids challenge blog.
Playing along is easy, all you have to do is use at least one product
that can be found in the 7 Kids Your Crafting Supply Store and link back to the challenge
blog in your own post, which gives you a chance at winning a $20 gift
certificate at the end of the month... who doesn't love that?
I've been such a fan of the Little Agenda stamp sets from Mama Elephant so when they released the Little Santa Agenda and Little Reindeer Agenda sets I had to add them to my collection. These tiny stamps manage to have so much character and I quickly realized that as cute as they are on their own I could super size the impact they made on my card by masking a whole group of them together. So why not create a line up a la 'The Usual Suspects' of Santa and his eight tiny reindeer as they get ready for Christmas? I used my Misti to stamp them because the grid on it made it easy to keep them all lined up nice and even. Once I had them all stamped and colored up I decided to add prominent shadows at their feet to help ground them and add a bit of drama to a very clean and simple design. I can't even tell you how happy this card makes me! :)
I hope to see some of my crafty friends get their jolly on and join the fun with me this month over at 7 Kids!

Hello crafty friends!
I'm here today with my weekly 7 Kids Your Crafting Supply Store
card creation. Last week was all about Halloween and now I'm diving straight into Christmas... kinda like Angel Evangeline is diving into that tree, LOL! Evangeline is from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps and she absolutely cracks me up! As soon as I saw her I was reminded of the scene in Elf where Buddy uses the couch to spring into the tree in an attempt to place the topper. She looks to have that same kind of enthusiasm for the holiday. Either that or Evangeline has finally cracked under all the pressure to present the 'perfect' Christmas, thus the funny sentiment that I ended up pairing with her. ;)
I am also adding this to the current Saturday challenge over at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps and the theme is 'magic'. I figure the inherent magic of the Christmas season certainly qualifies. :)
Ok then, the October challenge just wrapped up but be sure to check out the 7 Kids blog
tomorrow when November's challenge kicks off! Fun new holiday stuff is
coming into the store every day and that $20 gift certificate would really fill a stocking!

Hello, hello!
Yesterday we got our first winter storm of the season and it dropped about five or six inches of snow on us in less than 24 hours. I think that makes this card quite appropriate to share today. This frosty fella is Mr. Snowman from A Day For Daisies and I've had him printed out for ages just waiting to get on a card. He is paired up with some classic My Mind's Eye paper that is still in my top 10 most favorite Christmas collections evah.The soft colors suited him quite nicely and I did my best to match them with my Copics.
Alrighty friends, I've gotta get this day started. Talk at'cha again tomorrow!

TGIF everybody!
I've got another Christmas card that I made using the fun Polar Pals stamp set from MFT. For this one I created a single layer scene by masking the penguin, seal and polar bear all together onto the ice flow. I used my Copic markers to color their cute winter wear in the traditionally festive red and green holiday colors. Then I continued to sketch in the cold, winter waves and towering pines in the background to really flesh out the arctic home they live in. To finish off the card I die cut some large snowflakes and had them floating past the trio of festive friends. :)
Enjoy your weekend and I will see you again next week!

Hey there!
Now that my guest designer gig for My Favorite Things has come to an end I figured I would share the bonus cards I made for those posts here as well. My card today plays with layering all sorts of dies for some fun scene building. I knew I wanted to create a peaceful winter scene for the new Dashing Deer cuties so I first inked up a colorful sky with the Drifts and Waves stencil along the bottom edge. Then I added the Snow Capped Mountains in the distance, cutting the bottoms off along the same stencil edge. Next I grabbed both the Birch Trees and Solid Birch Trees, stacking them for a nice two tone look. The deer and bird were also cut out using their coordinating dies so that I could easily play with their placement amongst the forest trees. The A2 Stitched Rectangle Stax 2 frames it all together and the sentiment was stamped onto the Stitched Sentiment Strip, resting in the upper tree branch. As much as I have been coloring in backgrounds lately, this was a nice change of pace and it really makes me want to take the time to pull out my dies more often!
Thanks so much for stopping by and I shall see y'all tomorrow!

Hello, again!
I’m back this week with my final post as a Guest Designer for My Favorite Things. I just want to thank them again for inviting me to play this past month, I've loved every minute! I have to tell you that I've saved my most favorite stamp set for last... BB Happy Pawlidays. Not only do I have my own canine companion, whom I adore, but I also work with dogs everyday for my job and I love it. So when I saw this stamp set I knew that it would be perfect for my client Christmas cards!
For my card today I cut two different stitched panels, the larger one using the A2 stitched rectangle stax set one and the smaller from set 2. On the smaller panel I stamped the cute pup with the Santa hat off to the side, giving him the appearance of peeking into the scene. Next I grabbed the Drifts & Hills Stencil and sponged blue ink above it to create the evening sky. The trees were sketched in using a Copic marker and falling snow with a white gel pen. I finished off the card with a mix of Sparkling Clear sequins scattered about. I really like the small pops of vibrant color against all of that white space. Now if you head on over to the MFT blog you will also find two more bonus cards that I made using this super cute stamp set!
See ya in 24!
