Shopping Our Stash #435: What's black and white and red all over?

 Hello Friends,

Today I'm also playing along over at Shopping Our Stash where the challenge is to create a black, white, and red project. 

 It just happens to be one of my all time favorite color combinations.  I played around with a card kit from Impress using the Spellbinders "Building Snowman" die, Poppystamp frame dies, and DSP from Carta Bella and MFT.  I love the silhouette look!  The sentiment is from Penny Black's "Bright and Light" stamp set and I thought it was perfect for the scene.

Thanks for stopping by.  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Hugs,

Ann

Tic Tac Toe Challenge #093

Happy Holidays! Today we have a brand new board for you over at the Tic Tac Toe Challenge:

Lots of fun choices for your holiday cards on this one!  For my DT card, I played along with the first row across: Snowman, Thanks & Embossing Paste. 

I stamped a piece of Stampin' Up Pool Party cardstock with Pool Party ink using various snowflake stamps from Simon Says Stamp.  On a smaller piece of Pool Party, I stenciled snowflakes using Faber-Castell Glass Bead Glitter Gel...so sparkly and fun!  I layered both on a piece of Stampin' Up Real Red cardstock and then on a Neenah Solar White card base.  The stamped and die cut snowman is from an old Stamps of Life set called 'snowman2build.' I paper pieced his gloves and scarf from a scrap of Real Red DSP and added white gel pen highlights.  To finish the card, I heat embossed the Concord & 9th sentiment, die cut a banner, and popped it up.

Thanks "snow much" for stopping by!  I hope you'll find some time during this busy season to play along with us over at TTTC this week.

Hugs,

Annie
 

Shopping Our Stash #434: Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow

 Hi Friends! Today I'm playing along over at Shopping Our Stash where the theme is "Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow."  

Here's my card with some very glittery die cut snowflakes using Stampin' Up's Balmy Blue Glitter paper, Waffle Flower's stripes stencil, and Darice snowflake embossing folder.  So sparkly!

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Holidays!

Hugs,

Annie

Tic Tac Toe Challenge #091

 Hi Friends! Time for a new board over at the Tic Tac Toe Challenge:

I needed a winter masculine birthday card so I went with the first row across: Bow, Tree/Leaves, Brown.

On a Kraft card base I layered a piece of Ellen Hutson's woodgrain cardstock.  I die cut the layered pinecones and boughs from Stampin' Up's Peaceful Boughs stamps and dies, then popped them all the pinecones and splattered a little "snow."  The card was finished off with a sentiment stamped on Kraft and die cut 3 times for a chipboard look.  I also added the linen thread with a bow up at the top.  I almost forgot the bow part of the challenge!

We hope you'll play along with us this week.  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hugs,

Annie
