#FestiveFriday0024, A little note

Since Hubby and I don't do the New Years eve thing, we are all low key right about now.  He is recovering from an illness and I just took a break from making cards.

This was really a fun little card, here is the challenge, come on over and play, there are prizes involved.

I think I covered both bases with my little Post Card Pals image.  I just think he is the cutest thing. The sentiment which worked out so well is from Butterfly Gala, in the new Occasions catalog.  That, along with the SAB goes live on Jan 3rd!   It's is hands down the best yet!  The free product in the SAB will blow you away.  Once again they have a $100 catagory, but not too much there, most of it is buy $50 in product and choose something from the SAB. 

You can buy the new Tea stamp set and get the framelits free with a $100 purchase, that is pretty cool.  I'm taking them up on that offer, it's the nicest tea set we have ever had.

On with the card.  I made up a piece of Watercolor paper using both Balmy blue and Pacific point then let that dry and stamped my image in black, cut it out with one of the new rectangle stitched framelits, then added a piece of DSP from the Subtles DSP set in Balmy Blue under it.  I turned the stripes so I cut it crooked to have the angle I wanted. I used the next size up in the rectangle set.

The ribbon is one of 5 in this set of free ribbon in the SAB, 5 different colors in the one set. I love when we get more then a single ribbon in a set!
So, if you are not in love with coloring, this idea should help you if there is a set you love but just don't love that you need to color it.   I do usually enjoy coloring but this time I just didn't.

Sneak peek at Occasions 2019

This is a combination of 2 bundles and the brand new lace embossing folder.  After putting it down the card just did not need much.
I used Highland Heather, Grape, Mossy Meadow and So Saffron.

I was riveted to this embossing folder at first sight. It's gorgeous. I did the card a bit backwards, usually the sentiment is the last thing I do, but this time it was the feature.

The die comes from Climbing Roses die set called Rose Trellis Dies.   I added the little rose in the corner, then cut out a couple of leaves from the die set and added those.
Next came the butterflies.  They are from Butterfly Gala, and this bundle comes with a punch that does both of these sizes.  Actually these two were stamped and punched out at the same time, then colored. I used my Aqua painter and ink pads to color, but you can use anything that works best for you.

And that is pretty much it!  I hope I have redeemed myself, it's been quite a while since I posted. It's been pretty crazy around here and I can't sit for long.  In the middle of everything my hubby became very ill and ended up in the hosp for several days.  He is home recouping now.  

Merry Christmas!

Under the Mistletoe, Festive Friday #0022

Not enjoying time without my desktop computer.  I just deleted my whole post and not sure how I did it. 
Anyway, one more card made for Christmas.  I need to get them in the mail, toot sweet!
I decided to use some of the under used sets.  The little poinsettia is from Timless Tidings, as is the sentiment.  It's mostly a nice sentiment set, with a few little sweet graphics.

Colors are Real red, Shaded spruce, and Crumb cake.  I used the new Corrugated embossing folder to make the crumb cake corrugated. 

I used the Stitched Shaped Framelits for the outside red oval and the Layering Ovals for the sentiment layer.  Also I added thge Poka dot tulle ribbon under my ovals. 

Here is the Challenge, check out the rest of the projects and join in.

I hope you decide to join in the fun.  Thanks for stopping by.

Christmas time, Paper players #421

Ohhh boy!  I am a desk top computer kinda gal.  I have not one but 2 laptops, but I really don't enjoy using them.  I have everything set up on my desktop just how I like it.  But it's over 8 yrs old, although I had it built for me with everything top end, it's now starting to have problems, so I took it to someone to reformat the hard drive, when they started to boot it to work on it, the fan for the processor had quit working, so now I'm waiting for a new fan before I can have my baby back. 


So I took some time away from all things computer and made a card for the Paper Players current challenge.  This set, Snow is glistening, is now unavailable, at least it was suppose to be.  But it was so popular, it would be a shame if it didn't show up again.  You can check the numbers and see if it's still there. 

My colors of course are white, black and Gold.  I used the Whisper white craft ink for my snow and snowflakes and gold ink pad for the gold embossing.  Using a color will let you see your embossing and makes putting the powder on much easier. 

Here is the challenge, come on over and see the other projects.

Thanks for stopping by.
