Thanksgiving Sale!

Hello friends!

We have a Thanksgiving sale going on at

 Stamp and Create!

Orders placed during this week will ship out on Monday and Tuesday.
The sale runs through midnight, EST Sunday, December 1st.

*~*~*~*~*~*

I also have a simple Christmas card to share.

It's the Peaceful Christmas Tree from the Winter Wonderland Collection.

Just a CAS card but boy, it took me a long time to finish coloring the tree.  Layer after layer, waiting for the layers to dry before adding the next one.  I only used Peeled Paint, Vintage Photo and Scattered Straw for the tree. I used yellow glitter pen for the star and a clear glitter pen around the tree. A wash of Weathered Wood for the background and Frayed Burlap for the ground.

Here's a closer look.

This took me 3 nights to finish. :)

Anyway, I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving week.

See you again soon.

Winter Gifts

Hello friends.

It's time for another challenge at Stamp and Create with Magnolia.

 Our theme for the next 2 week is:

 

 Winter Gifts

Use a Winter Themed Magnolia stamp with image with a gift, or create a gift or gift packaging

 For my card, I have Puppy Love Tilda from the Winter Wonderland Collection. She is one of my favorites from this collection because I love coloring her hair.

Here's a closer look at Tilda.  Isn't she  a cutie?

She is colored with Distress Ink Reinkers.

The Merry Christmas Text is also from the Winter Wonderland Collection.  I used some Tim Holtz dies, Magnolia DooHickey Jolly Tag and  Go Kreate die for the base.

Late Post: Stamp and Create Weekly Candy

Hello there.

I am trying to catch up with my posts here so I apologize for the delay.

I have a simple card to share with you and we also have our Weekly Candy at

Stamp and Create.

First off is my card. A simple lay out with just a few snowflakes for my embellishments.

I used In the Snow Scarf Tilda from the Winter Wonderland Collection.

I used the Blissful Blizzard patterned paper from Fancy Pants.  There were only 2 kinds of patterned paper from the collection left at the Archiver's that I go to, so I got 5 sheets of each. So you might be seeing this patterned paper again in my coming cards. I just love the color combo.

Anywhoo...the image is colored with Distress Ink Reinkers, just as always.

I also used one of the snowflakes stamps from Magnolia (sorry I forgot which collection), and embossed a snowflake background for Tilda.

The snowflake dies are from Tim Holtz (On the Edge) and the individual flakes is from Quickutz.

Now for our Weekly Candy.

 We have Strawberry Beatrice from CC Designs

CCD November Release Preview Day 3

It's Day 3 for the CCD November Release preview. And today we have some cute animals. I choose Penguins for today's preview. They are so cute and perfect for tags and small projects!

Tomorrow at 9am EST, all November Stamps will be available at the CCD Store.

Monthly Challenge and Weekly Candy

The November Challenge is:

Feathers or Leaves

(you can either use an image with either feathers or leaves on the image,
or just add some as embellishments)

On random participant will win a $25 Gift Certificate to Stamp and Create. 

I made a bookmark using Piping Tilda from the Special Moments Collection.  She is colored with Copics and I made the bookmark simple and flat so you can actually close the book when it's inserted. For the leaves, I used a Rose Leaf and Vintage Mistletoe Magnolia DooHickey.
