*New* The Sweetest Little Town by Stacy Yacula {Purple Onion Designs}

I am back today with another card using images from new The Sweetest Little Town collection. I have loved working with this collection and I hope you are enjoying your stamps as well. For those of you who have not purchased yet, I did want to let you know that this is the last day (November 15) to buy the whole bundle at a 30% discount.  

After stamping the previously released Street then the new Woodstock (fox) and Mailbox onto Copic friendly cardstock I then colored all with Copic Markers and cut out with a stitched die. I sprinkled it with watered down Gouache to represent light snow. The sentiment from Holiday Messages Sentiment set was stamped using Versamark ink and white heat embossed onto gray cardstock, then cut out with a fishtail tag die. The sentiment piece was attached with a layer of craft foam.

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

I have amother card for the 2020 Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop using stamps and dies from The Greetery. I am really working through my collection. 

I "baked" several of these cookies on the same day to use on future projects so I am back with some today. They were cut using the Hug in a Mug Sweet Treats die set and decorated with Hug in a Mug Embellishment Kit. I used the Cozy Cup stamps and dies for the coffee cup and spoon. The cup was stamped with vermillion, fine linen and rich cocoa inks and the spoon was stamped with stone and silver shimmer. The linen cardstock background was cut using the largest die from the Nordic Frames set and I placed the patterned paper mat cut with the Cozy Cup Coaster Die onto it and stamped the sentiment using vermillion ink. All images were attached to the panel using craft foam for dimension.

Blessings to you all! Thank you so much for stopping by!

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

I have another card for the 2020 Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop which makes me happy because it gives me the perfect excuse to use yet another of The Greetery sets that has been languishing in my unused box for way too long. This works out well as they are also a sponor of the blog hop. I love it when a plan comes together.    

I used the Cozy Cup stamps and dies for the coffee cup and spoon. The cup was stamped with gala red, fine linen and rich cocoa inks and the spoon was stamped with stone and silver shimmer. I also used one of my new purchases, Hug in a Mug Sweet Treats to cut the sweet chocolate cookies. They were decorated with the goodies from the Hug in a Mug Embellishment Kit and they protected with a layer of diamond glaze. After cutting the white linen cardstock using a die from the Nordic Frames set I stamped the sentiment with every green ink direct to paper. The patterned paper background was cut using the largest die from the Nordic Frames set. Both images were attached to the white panel using craft foam for dimension.

Many blessings to you! Stay safe my friends. Covid isn't done with us yet.

*New* The Sweetest Town by Stacy Yacula {Purple Onion Designs}

I am fully back and operation after Hurricane Zeta. Apparently my router was zapped and I had to replace it. Ask me how much I wanted to spend money on a router this close to Christmas?

I have another card using the new collection illustrated by Stacey Yacula for Purple Onion Designs, The Sweetest Little Town. 

After stamping Woodstock (fox) and the Mailbox onto Copic friendly cardstock, I colored with Copic Markers, then sprinkled with a mix of gouache and water for the snowfall. I used a die set to create the "stamp" then attached the panel to a patterned paper background. The sentiment from the new Holiday Messages Sentiment set was stamped separately onto a pierced rectangle cardstock piece.

The Cat's Pajamas November TCP Tuesday #374

The Cat's Pajamas November TCP Tuesday challenge is to create a gift tag (s). Tags can be standalone or attached to a gift or card. TCP products are not required but encouraged. You have until the end of the month to submit a project and there is a $50 gift voucher up for grabs.

I stamped the image from one of my favorite TCP sets, North Pole or Bust onto Copic friendly cardstock, colored with Copic markers and then fussy cut out. I then created the tag from patterned paper cut with a die from the Holiday Window Duo Die and attached the image to it using foam dimensionals. I cut the snowflakes using one of the dies from the Five Snowflakes CutUps. Gouache mixed with water was sprinkled on the blue portion of the tag and the image. A few silver metallic threads finished it up.

*New* The Sweetest Little Town by Stacey Yacula (Purple Onion Designs)

Good morning. I hope your week is off to a great start. I am still without internet due to Hurricane Zeta so I am again using my phone as a hotspot. 

I have another card using the new collection illustrated by Stacey Yacula for Purple Onion Designs, The Sweetest Little Town. I adore this collection and it has been so much to create with these sweet images.

With a bit of masking, I stamped Chestnut (bear), Tinsel (squirrel) and Sparkle Tree onto Copic friendly cardstock cut with a stitched die. All images were cut with Copic markers and I added some clear sparkle on the star for a bit of sparkle. The sentiment from the new Holiday Messages set was white heat embossed onto a red cardstock piece.
