Squigglefly Kris Kringle

 

Good morning! This morning I have a Squigglefly image to share with you...meet Kris Kringle! Is this the most awesome image or what???? The image is shaded so lovely that there is really no need for coloring but I chose to color his hat and the berries in his poinsettia. Also added a little glitter to the ball on his hat. The sentiment is computer generated by moi. I love this so much that I actually made 3 cards using this same image! Ohhh and I have to share that all the paper used on this card is from Pizzazz Aplenty...I just ordered some more of that awesome red card stock that feels like velvet...really honestly it just makes the card feel so expensive! The silver paper is some of Pizzazz Aplenty's shimmer card stock. How is that for some Pizzazz??!! Thank you so much for stopping by today...AND leaving some love! Each of you know that I will be by to see you as well...can't wait to see what you have today! Have a great day!

Doodle Pantry Topiary Seasons

If you are here to play in the Doodle Pantry Blog Hop, click here for that link. How are you all today? I am tired...I feel like time sprang ahead instead of falling back! Well, I have another Christmas card for you today! This one is using the Doodle Pantry Topiary Seasons set. And I colored this one myself! I have not colored for a while so thought I had better pull those Copics out before they dry out on me! After adding a few stickles to the image, I mounted it on some shiny gold cardstock and placed it on the base card on top of that awesome die cut. The die cut is called Cathedral Lace from Cheery Lynne Designs. I had lots of fun creating this card...forgot how much I enjoyed coloring. This post is short and sweet today...off to get some much needed chores done! Hope you have a wonderful day and thank you for sharing part of it with me!

Doodle Pantry Blessed Christmas

Hello my friends! Well, after a few rough days I am feeling way better and have been able to create some cards!! Today's card I am just absolutely thrilled with...I wanted to create a simple, serene yet elegant card that possibly would be my Christmas card for this year...and this one MAY be the winner! The image I used is from Doodle Pantry and called Blessed Christmas...this was a pre-colored image and the sentiment on the card ALSO comes with the image! Once I had my image manipulated in Photoshop, printed it and then embossed around it with one of my new Sizzix embossing folders....and shame on me I was so excited to use it I forgot to mark the folder with it's name! But it is a pretty popular folder right now so I am sure many of you have seen it, or have it! I scored my base card a little larger and mounted the image on the base card...then I added the Diamond Stickles all the way around the embossed area. Thanks so much for stopping by, leaving some love and sharing your day with me! I so appreciate you all. Have a great day!

Doodle Pantry Christmas Wreath

 

Hello all, and happy November! Hope everyone had an awesome Halloween! Today is new release day at the Doodle Pantry! Laurie has given us a number of awesome images to work with and I chose to play with the Christmas Wreath. My card is VERY clean and simple but thought the image needed no competition! The image is pre-colored and the sentiment was computer generated. After adding a ribbon and some stickles, I was happy with it! The square gems in the corner are from Pizzazz Aplenty. Been a little under the weather the last couple of days, hope to get my hiney moving today...it is beautiful here in our area....sunny and almost 70! Thank you much for stopping in and please do go check out the new releases at the store! Have a great day!

FSS Christmas Cardinal

Good morning! Today's card makes me yearn for Christmas and SNOW! I know if I wait long enough they are BOTH just around the corner! I used FSS Christmas Cardinal image on my card for today...it is pre-colored and just one in a series of winter birds that Tracey has in the store. All the paper used on this card is from Pizzazz Aplenty...the silver and green paper has such a pretty pretty shimmer to it that I just couldn't catch on the camera. I used the Fancy Square nesties to emboss the silver layer and die cut the green layer. The flourish is a Marrianne die...added a silver doily behind the image to help set it off the card. My corners were cut with an SU punch and embossed with Cuttlebug folder. As I look at this card now, I wish I had added some sparkle in the image with some stickles or glitter....guess I can still do that. Anyhoooooo, hope you enjoyed my creation today and are inspired to go out and check out this set of winter birds in the FSS store! Have a great day today and thank you for dropping in and leaving some love!
