2016 Holiday Series #8

Helloooo! I am so excited to share this card with you! I had an idea and I was so relieved when it turned out well! I had been watching a video from Kristina Werner at kwernerdesign.com. In her video she was creating a background with distress inks and it turned out beautifully and I decided to try my hand at it. Once I did the background I decided I wanted to do an ombre look on her dress.

This is a La La Land Crafts stamp which I got from Scrapping For Less called "Christmas Angel Marci" The snowflakes are stickers that were in my stash.

I thought it would be a good idea to use one of the scrap pieces from the background paper which is from Bo Bunny and just put the small strip and snowflakes on the inside. I was happy with how it turned out. 

After I finished with her dress I took my Spectrum Noir clear marker and went over her entire dress and the sparkle is just shimmery and gorgeous! I wish it showed up as well on camera as it does in real life. All of these items except for what I pulled from my stash I got from Scrapping For Less.

If you are looking for a great store with terrific prices I have two different options for you:

1. Scrapping For Less FaceBook group where you have the option to go through the photo albums and choose products that are not yet released or haven't been ordered yet. You claim the items that you want, Teresa sends you an invoice, you pay the invoice and when the order comes in she ships it to you. 
2.  scrappingforless.com is where you go online and shop all the items are in stock and the website even shows you the quantity still available. You fill your cart with what you want, check out and pay with credit card or PayPal, your order is filled and ships the next day! 

Don't feel like you have to choose one or the other most customers shop at both because it never fails you receive something you ordered and then wish you had ordered more and that is where the website comes in or if you are like me I get excited about new stuff and then I think "Oh no I'm almost out adhesive" and then I find myself checking out the website to grab essentials.

All Christmas items are on sale right now so don't hesitate to finish up your shopping for anyone on your list who loves to create! There is plenty of time to have it before Christmas Day if you are wanting to give it as a gift.

Thank you so much for stopping by I hope you are enjoying this Holiday season and are spending a little extra time with those you love.

Wishing you sunshine and smiles,
Kim :) 

2016 Holiday Series #6

Hi ya!

So here we are only 17 days until Christmas Day! It still seems like it's a good distance away but now I'm thinking I better get my Christmas postage stamps ordered!!! Card #6 has to be one of my favorite images ever! It is so sweet! The stamp is from Art Impressions "Twinkle in a Tangle", I colored the image with my Copic Sketch markers. I came back and hit the lights that Mr. and Mrs. Claus is wrapped in with my clear Wink of Stella.

I used a jumbo fishtail flag die for the striped paper and used my MFT blueprints #2 die to cut out the paper with the lights on it (by the way how perfect was that paper with that stamp right?). Then as a finishing touch I added the little enamel dots that are also very glittery but that doesn't show up in the picture so well.  On the inside I added the strip of string lights at the top, I started to put them on the bottom because that is typically where I add the inside decoration but being as the lights look like they are hanging it just looked wrong!

Don't forget to head over to Fresh and Renewed and see what card Teresa made for today and pick some different ideas.

Scrappingforless.com is having a sale on everything Christmas! Head on over to the website for some great deals!

Thank you so much for stopping by I sure hope you are enjoying the series and I would love to hear your comments! 

Wishing you sunshine and smiles,
