Merry Christmas to All

December 18, 2023

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a project that I shared over on the Concord & 9th Favorite Things Live last week. My favorite bundle of the year was the Over the Rooftops stamps & dies and my favorite color of cardstock for the year was Lemongrass. So I combined the two for this project along with the Christmas Cloche dies, some favorite pattern papers and more.

You can watch the replay HERE and see what other designer shared of their favorites! Hoping you are having a good holiday season so far. Three of my older kids are coming home today for the week and I’m busy washing bedding and cleaning bathrooms. Next, will be a big grocery store run. Oh my, the amount of food that is about to be consumed will be so very merry, lol! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Reliquary Snow Globe

December 14, 2023

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a cute, little holiday card featuring the Reliquary Snow Globe die set by Simon Says Stamp. I created a shaker and filled it with a little white glitter tree from the Christmas Cloche die set.

I filled the shaker with a tiny bit of glitter and confetti. For the sentiment I used the CZ Holiday Typewriter with gold embossing powder.

I love the soft color scheme using the matte gold and gold glitter cardstocks for accents. For the base of the cloche I used Nectar cardstock and for the card base I used Buttercream cardstock. These subtle hues are so calming during the hustle and bustle of the season. Wishing you a peaceful day! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Winter Truck

December 13, 2023

Hi there! Popping in with a cute project featuring some new Erin Lee Creative designs. I love this adorable Winter Truck die set! I used solid colored cardstock and blended a little ink here and there for a some shading on the die cuts.

For the background I used the Whimsy Christmas Tree Stencil Set. I blended Salvaged Patina on the base and then added the trees using Spout & Fairway. For the sentiment I used the Joy to the World Die Set with Matte Gold cardstock.
