It Moose be Christmas

Hi! 

Happy Christmas Eve!

got this cute moose stamp set from Sugar Pea Designs I had

to CASE (copy and share everything) her  cute tag.

Joy

The Christmas season is upon us,

which is why I was so excited to see that Sarah G. selected

the code word JOY for Challenge # 78 at Addicted To CAS.

 

You can check out the design team cards and join in the challenge HERE.

 

 

 

I fell in love with this Joy Stamp & Cut set from Hero Arts when I first saw it, however

every place I tried to order it said it was out of stock...so frustrating.

While I was still moaning and groaning about not being able to get it,

my darling daughter Jennifer found it at scrapbook.com and had it sent to me as

a early Christmas gift.  YEA!

Since this is a pretty simple design, I wanted to add some interest by adding dimension,

so I cut the word out of a foam sheet and one out of white sparkle paper.

maybe this will show better what I mean:

 

 

That's a lot easier than cutting four or five layers.

The little green holly leaves were cut the same way

using an Impression Obsession die (DIE023-X).

Then I colored the edges of the white foam with a green marker.

 

Thanks for stopping by.

 

'till next time,

Doni

 

 

 



Christmas Wreath

Happy December 5th! 

Today it is my great honor to be the guest designer

for the Christmas Challenge at Happy Little Stampers.

 

Our challenge was to use stars.

Here's what I used:

Cream card base

Matte gold cardstock

brown cardstock

gold sticky back glitter paper

wreath die from impression obsession (DIE023-X)

star dies from Simon Says Stamp ( Holiday Shapes # S131)

star die from My Favorite Things (Die-Namics stacking stars)

Peace sentiment from Happy Little Stampers (Mixed Christmas Sentiments)

I hope that you'll join us in this month's Christmas challenge.

'till next time,

Doni

Christmas Stockings

Today I'd like to share with you a card I made 

to play along with Splitcoaststampers.

The challenge was to "put a sock in it",

and since I used such a cute stamp from The Cat's pajamas

I think I'll also enter it in the TCP Winter BlogHop 

for a chance to win a $50 gift voucher.

Like I said, the stamp is from The Cat's Pajamas.

I used word on the computer and wrote ...and the stockings were hung..

The coloring was done with Copic markers.

Thanks for stopping by.

'till next time,

Doni
