Merry Christmas ~ Clean and Simple Design

Hi Everyone!
I have a Christmas card to share with you all.
I made a plan last month to get a start on my holiday cards and I have made about 5 of the 100 I need.
Better start moving my tail!
Anyways I made this card to enter into a few Challenges:
Creative Inspirations~Clean and Simple
The Paper Players~ #60 Clean and Simple Sketch
Bah! Humbug~ Something New

So here is my card....
I used a circle die and stamped the sentiment and tree using Memento ink and My Creative Time~ all Around Christmas Stamp set
The Trees were then colored with my copics and my something new~~ Creative Inspirations Paint!
I used Winter Frost to add some sparkle to the stars on the trees.
I did cut and color one additional tree and popped it up in the center sentiment circle for a little dimension.
The Merry Christmas sentiment is also from the same stamp set.
I also just ordered and received some Trendy Twine so that was added also in Peppermint Stick.

So another Christmas card down....only alot more to do :)
Thanks for stopping by and have a GREAT day!

Morning Everyone!
I have a Clean and Simple card to share with you.
I was blog hopping this morning and came across a new challenge over at
The Challenge was "Summer is for the Birds and the Bees.
I was looking at all the DT projects and let me say they are AWESOME as always and so very inspirational.
I came across Min's at Kaymin Kreations and loved the clean and simple design.
My son has a birthday party on Monday that needed a card so I scrap lifted Min's design and made a birthday card to use for this challenge.
Thanks Min :)
I used Bird Greetings~sweet birdday and colored this adorable bird with my copics

The sentiment is from Fiskar's~Birthday Cheer

Well thanks for stopping by and another thanks to Min for her inspiration :)

Just For You~ Simple Stampin Up Inspired Cards

Good Morning Bloggers!

I have a quick and very easy Stampin up card set I made to share.
This is not my idea...I actually got it from when I was organizing my stamps and searching for ideas.

I used Stampin Up ink~
Orchid Opulence
Mellow Moss
Real Red
Positively Pink

and
The Painted Garden Stamp set

My sentiment was a dollar bin find that just fit perfectly :)

Since this was such an easy project I ended up stamping 20 cards in a matter of minutes!!!

Now I have a stash of "just for you" cards for those last minute thank yous and such!

Thanks for stopping by and have a GREAT day!

"Three Times a Charm"~ Whimsical Wednesday Challenge #19


Hi everyone!
It is time for another Whimsical Wednesday Challenge!
Our fellow DT member Amber~ Staying Crafty chose this weeks challenge....which is
 "Three Times a Charm". We were to create a project using 3 cuts, 3 colors only and 3 of the same embellishments.
When I read the challenge requirement I thought "hey this doesn't sound to difficult" but when I sat down to create I was stumped!
I ended up going through all my stamps and found a dollar bin one that is the inspiration for my card.

Ok so I had this stamp and I knew there was a cut on the Preserves Cartridge with a pear on it but when I looked at the booklet there are 3 cuts per pear so I got out my handy dandy gypsy and began playing with the two base cuts.
I was able after much manipulation weld the bottom layer and the next layer. Tada...all I had to do was cut the top layer out twice and I had my pear cut ~~I actually cheated and made 4 cuts..but don't tell anyone :)
I did pop one of the top layers up to give it some dimension.
Alittle inking around the layers also...I just love how it adds so much more to a cut.
My color choice for this was brown, green and pink. Love those colors together and the pattern paper was perfect for this...brown with pink stripes
I embellished with 3 glittery brads and stamped my sentiment with brown memento ink.

Ok so I hope I have inspired you to create a project for this weeks challenge.
There is a great prize for the winner....
The Nursery Rhymes Cartridge.
Remember you have 2 weeks to enter...plenty of time to create!
Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you all over at Whimsical Wednesday!
