HELLO!!
Its the First of December which means a New Paper Sweeties December Inspiration Challenge #62!! Say WHAT!!?? I'm not sure how this year has flown by so FAST, but I'm READY for an AMAZING, SPECIAL and BLESSED December and hope you are too!!??
This month's WINNER will receive a $100 gift certificate for a shopping spree at Paper Sweeties!!!  Sadly, Paper Sweeties will be discontinuing hosting the monthly challenges in 2018, so let's make this month's challenge the BEST ever and go out with a BANG!! 
Share with your crafty friends!!
I'm SAD to see them go, but there are FUN things coming in 2018!!
Today I've made a REALLY FUN Set of Gift Tags that I've added to Gift Bags!! I've used the New or You Stitched Tag Die as my Base Tag and the Stitched Tags #3 Sweet Cuts Die Set and the Dear Santa Stamp Set for the Sentiment! I've also used the Holly Die from the Paper Sweeties Deck the Halls Sweet Cuts Die Set!! I Started by Die Cutting the Stitched Stocking from some Plaid Felt and the Top from some Cream Felt!! I then Die Cut the White Cardstock Stitched Stocking and Layered it to create a Folded Tag!! I Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment using some Black Embossing Powder!! I then Coated the Cream Felt with some Ranger Ink Multi Matte Medium and then Covered it with some Coarse Martha Stewart Glitter!! SQUEAL!! I LOVE the way it looks!! =) I added it ALL to a Gift Bag!! I Embellished using some Felt Holly with some Red Flower Sequins for the Berries!!  I LOVE LOVE LOVE the way they turned out!! This would make the PERFECT Gift for ANY Person ad there are SO MANY Ways to you can Fill these for a  FUN Gift for the Holidays!! =)

Paper Smooches November 2017 Challenge w/ CardMaps Sketch!! =)

Pin It

HELLO!!
I'm coming in under the wire with this one!! lol!!  =} 

Sometimes winding down with a Challenge is just what a BUSY Mom needs at the end of the Day!!
I wanted to create another Card using the FUN CardMaps November 2017 Square Sketch

that I was lucky enough to play along with as a Paper Smooches Guest Designer at the beginning of the month over on the PageMaps Blog!! I used the November 2017 Paper Smooches Challenge Photo as my Inspiration and the November 2017 Square Sketch for my Layout Design and here's what I came up with!! I really LOVE LOVE LOVE the way it turned out, and hope I've INSPIRED you to play along with some challenges!!??

I've used the Paper Smooches Autumn Groves Stamp Set, along with the Gift Tags Dies and the Gift Tags 3 Dies!! I Stamped and Embossed my Sentiment first!! I wanted the Scarecrow to look like part of the Sentiment so I masked the top of the Sentiment and Stamped and Embossed the Scarecrow!! I Masked the Scarecrow and inked the Ground using Gathered Twigs Distress Ink!! I Inked the background with Tumbled Glass and Cracked Pistachio Distress Inks and added some Water Splatters for texture!! I Stamped and Embossed the Images onto my Tags to create a FUN Scene on each one!! I masked the images and used the same Distress Inks to ink them adding Water Droplets for texture!! I used Copic Markers to color the Images and added some White Gel Pen Details, Tonic Studios Aqua Shimmer Pen and popped the Tags up with some Foam Tape!! SQUEAL!! That Scarecrow just makes me SMILE!!   =)

THANKS SO MUCH for sharing and have a FABULOUS WEEK!! Don't forget to checkout the CardMap Blog for TONS of inspiration and to play along with the NEW Paper Smooches Challenge!!
