HELLO CRAFTY FRIENDS!! 

I'm up for Day 17 of the Paper Sweeties 25 Days of Christmas Celebration!! FULL of AMAZING Inspiration and Surprise SALES!! You won't want to miss a Day of the Festivities!! 

For today's Projects I wanted to share my LOVE of ALL things White & Black Gingham this Holiday Season!! I can't explain it, but I LOVE it ALL and can't seem to get enough of it!! 

So Today I'm sharing a couple different Ideas on ways to use the Black &White Gingham Patterned Paper with the Sugar & Spice Sweet Cuts Die Set!! SWOON!! I LOVE how these turned out and it's HARD for me to pick a FAVORITE!! 

Which Design do you like best!!?? 

For my First Card I Die Cut the Sugar & Spice Gingerbread Man from the Black & White Gingham Patterned Paper!! Then I added it to my Kraft Card Panel that I Die Cut using a Stitched Rectangle Die!! I added some Candied Apple Distress Oxide Ink to the Background of the Kraft Cardstock to help make the Gingerbread Man POP against the Kraft Card Panel!! Then I added some Picket Fence and Black Soot Distress Oxid Ink Splatters for some Texture and some Tonic Studios Shimmer Pen Splatters for some Sparkle!! 

I Stamped and Embossed the Merry Christmas Sentiment from the Merry Christmas Ya'll Stamp Set!! I wanted to add some POPS of Red Deco Foil so I laminated some Therm O Web Fancy Foils by Gina K Designs in Radiant Red to a piece of Deco Foil Toner Sheets and then used the Spice Sweet Cuts Die Set to Die Cut the Bow!! I LOVE the BEAUTIFUL touch of Shine it adds to the Design!! I wanted to add some Holly Leaves to the Bow as well so I Stamped and Embossed the Holly Image from the Jingle All the Way Stamp Set and Colored it in using Copic Markers!! Then I used the coordinating Jingle All the Way Die Set to Die Cut the Holly Images out!! I added the Holly to the Leaves and then add a Strawberry Sequin to the center of the Bow!! I finished off the Design by adding some Nuvo Drops in Red Glitter to the center of the Sequin!! 

For my Second Card I created the EXACT same Design only this time I used White Cardstock for the Card Panel and I used Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink for the Background to make the Gingerbread Man POP!! 

Then I added add some of the NEW Therm O Web Glass Slipper Deco Foil to a piece of Deco Foil Toner Sheets and laminated it!! I used the Spice Sweet Cuts Die Set to Die Cut the Bow!! I LOVE the BEAUTIFUL touch of Shine it adds to the Design!! I wanted to add some Holly Leaves to the Bow as well so I Stamped and Embossed the Holly Image from the Jingle All the Way Stamp Set and Colored it in using Copic Markers!! Then I used the coordinating Jingle All the Way Die Set to Die Cut the Holly Images out!! I added the Holly to the Leaves and then add a Strawberry Sequin to the center of the Bow!! I finished off the Design by adding some Nuvo Drops in Red Glitter to the center of the Sequin!!

So there you have it, two different Color Combos, but the same overall Design!! Which one do you prefer!!??

HELLO CRAFTY FRIENDS!!

Welcome to Day 1 of the Paper Sweeties 

November Release 2019!! 

I created a FESTIVE Holiday Card for today using the *NEW* Stamp Sets called "Truck Add On: Occasions" along with the the "Bleassed" Stamp Set!! 

Here's a look at the *NEW* Sets!!

                   Truck Add-on: Occasions

Truck Add-on: Occasions Sweet Cuts

Blessed


I wanted to create a FESTIVE Holiday Card using the Truck Image from the Merry Christmas Ya'll Stamp Set!! Then I paired it with the Presents from the NEW Truck Add On: Occasions Stamp Set!! I Stamped and Masked the Truck so I could add the Presents to the back of the Truck with a seamless Image!! 
I then used Copic Markers to color in the Images!! 
I used ( Truck: BG10, BG45 & BG49  Window: BG000  Tires: N2, N4 & N8  Light: Y11, Y19 & YR23  Presents: YG61, YG67  R43, R46 & R89  Y11, YR23  N0 & N2) 

I Stamped and Embossed the "HOME" Sentiment from the NEW Blessed Stamp Set and then I Stamped and Embossed the "for the Holidays" Sentiment from the Merry Christmas Ya'll Stamp Set onto a Black Strip of Cardstock using White Embossing Powder!! I added it to the card using some 3D Black Foam Squares and then I added some Sparkling Clear Sequins from Pretty Pink Posh!! I added some Nuvo Drops in Morning Dew over the Window, the Tire Centers, the Light and the Ribbons on the Packages!! I LOVE the CAS Design and think this would be an EASY Design for Mass Producing for the Holidays!!

Here's what I've created for today!!
