Dies R Us Challenge December 1, 2019! (Winter White)




Hi, Friends!

Happy Holidays!  It's a new month and time for another Dies R Us Challenge!  The theme is Winter White!  We ask that you use at least one die on your project.  Come and join in the fun and have a chance to win a gift certificate!  Enjoy creating!

I decided to make a winter scene with deer and a country landscape in the background.




For my card, I started with a white card base.  The country landscape is from Memory Box.  The deer are from IO.  And, the tiny bird and branches are placed at the top right corner.  The sentiment is from Avery Elle and embossed in silver.  It says...Have a magical Christmas.  Ribbon and gems placed for interest.  And, Nuvo Glitter Accents(Fresh Snowfall) applied on the snow drifts.

 All dies that were used for my card with links are listed below.  I hope you create a project using dies and join us for the challenge!




 There are so many choices at Dies R Us store!  Hope you check out the store for  amazing selection of dies, stamps, papers, inks, etc.!  I'd love to see your project in the challenge...happy creating!

Would you like more inspiration?  Check out some amazing creations from my talented teammates!

Popping in quick to share one card before Thanksgiving.  This is a card I sent to my sis-in-law, Angie and her husband, Ted.  All images and sentiment are from Paper Sweeties.

We had our Thanksgiving early last weekend. We will be meeting up with more family this coming week. 

I'm so thankful for all my family and friends!  May all of you in the USA have a wonderful happy blessed Thanksgiving!  Take care!

Hugs!

Happy Birthday!


Hi, Friends!

Popping in today to share with you two birthday cards that I made for December birthdays.  The first one is for my sis, Lucretia, and the second one is for my friend, Peggi.

For the above card I used Mama Elephant poinsettia images and colored them with copics.  The birthday sentiment is from PI.  The scalloped background panel was die cut using a die from Mama Elephant.  Gems to finish the card. 

Next up is the birthday card for Peggi...


For this card, I used poinsettia images from Altenew.  The same birthday sentiment from PTI.  The scalloped oval die is from Paper Sweeties.  I have mixed feelings about this card since I had a smudge of gold on the side of the card.  I thought...really?!  So, I thought ok, what would Maria do?  Uh huh, Maria always adds on, lol!  So, I tried to make it look like it was intended to have an artsy look to it.  I think I like it the more I stare at it.  What do you think? 

Ok, that's all for today.  I'm not sure if I'll be posting anymore before Thanksgiving, so I wish for you all a very blessed Thanksgiving with your families and friends!  Thanks so much for visiting here today!  It's appreciated!  Take care!

Hugs!

Paper Sweeties November 2019-Release Rewind!




Hi, friends!

Welcome to Paper Sweeties November Release Rewind!  I hope you've enjoyed all the inspiration from the team for the new release so far.  Today, for the rewind we combine previously released sets with the new sets.

Debbie is releasing two new stamp/die sets this month called Truck Add on: Occasions and Blessed  Today, I am highlighting both sets.  The first set has images and sentiments for several occasions!  And, the second set has many one word sentiments in a large font for many occasions.


For my card, I started with a cream card base.  The patterned paper is from Echo Park.  Jake and Emma are dressed in their fall outfits(I'm Nuts about You) holding a thankful sign.  The sentiments on the side border of the card...family....friends are from the same set. The leaf on their sweaters are from the set Sweater Weather.  The sentiment is from the new set Blessed.  The pumpkins and haystacks are from the set Scarecrow.


A view of the inside of the card...


The pumpkins are from the new set Truck Add on: Occasions.  And, the sentiment is from the new set Blessed.

I'm very thankful and blessed for all my family and friends!
