Twinkles Glow with Stamps

Happy Hump Day Everyone!!  I hope everyone is warm and safe!!  We had 4-5 inches of icy mix yesterday.  So beautiful to look out but not advisable to drive in that is for sure.  It felt so cozy looking out the window.

Today I would like to share 2 creations for 3 different challenges and teams.

Being a Wednesday...it is time for a new Creative Belli, Your Next Stamp, and Whiff of Joy Challenge creation!!

The first creation is made to meet both the Creative Belli and Your Next Stamp challenge.  This week's YNS challenge is hosted by the sweet and talented Linda.  Linda's Challenge Theme is "Baby It's Cold Outside..." That it is here!!!  Anywho...she challenges us to create a winter scene.  The Creative Belli Challenge us to use things beginning with "P"  so I colored up the adorable Ellie building a Snowman from Your Next Stamp (YNS).  I colored with my copics in pastels, mainly pink, and added pattern paper, pink silk ribbon, punched borders and pearls for embellishments.  The patterned paper has snowflakes on it and is a very old pattern paper from Bo Bunny that I have hoarded in my stash forever!!!  I added snowtex to give the card dimension and a real snow feel.

The second creation is for the Whiff of Joy challenge.  The Whiff of Joy Challenge was to use teal, cream and chocolate.  I just love this combo so it was so fun for me!!!  Rather than make a card, however, I decided to make a matching set with the Whiff of Joy Henry Celebrating Mouse.  I just adore this cute little mouse!!

 I colored him with copics.  The dp is from Cosmo Cricket Material Girl and from K&Co.  I used the sketch from Gem Of A Challenge.


The teal green trim is velvet leftover in my stash and the lace is May Arts Champagne Net that I recently received from my friend Ann but it also can be purchase here.  The flowers are prima French White Fairytale roses and Prime Lilliput Lime cooler Roses.  The ivory ribbon is May Arts Silk. The dies I used included the Spellbinders Lacey circles and standard circles and the Sizzix Top Note Die available at SU. 

 This box is a cupcake box that I created for my sister in law whose birthday is tomorrow!!  I used the Hey Cupcake template designed by Leigh Ann Baird available at Perfect Presentations.

Thanks for stopping by today and for all your comments!! I hope you enjoyed my projects!

blessings,

HI everyone!!  Yesterday was such a busy day and I had to post so many cards for dt's etc. that I decided to save one for today.  The card I am sharing today is one I created for the Creative Belli's Snow challenge.

I had a great time making this card.  I used the cardinal from Our Daily Bread Designs Sing for Joy set and the verse from Faith (a January release, a gorgeous new set!!!!). The cardinal is colored with copics and the entire card is sprayed with Pearl Glimmermist which gives it a gorgeous Sparkly Sheen.  I just could not get the camera to photo it.  Sorry.  It is gorgeous in person.  I want to thank my dear sweet Nicki for surprising me with a couple of copics for Christmas (that I had run out of ink in).  It made it possible for me to color my image prettier, my dear daughter.

  The background is embossed in the Provocraft snowflakes  folder.  The border on the bottom with the American crafts black ribbon going through it is the Spellbinders Lattice Border.  The bigger snowflake is cut out with the Spellbinders Snowflake 2 die. The other is a punch.  The verse is frame with the Labels 14,   die (Spellbinders). The image is framed with the Classic Scalloped Edge Frame die from Spellbinders.  A few of the square layers are cut out with the Grand Caliber and the Grand Squares die from Spellbinders.


Yes...the Grand Caliber.  I got it this in December and what a gift it is!! I just love how it embosses and cuts. It is very easy to crank and is very sturdy!!  You can run an entire 8 1/2 by 11 sheet of paper through it!!

Spellbinders has created a superior product with this tool!

hugs,

Happy Hump Day Everyone!!  I hope every one had a great New Year's holiday!!  I know I did!  I just got back from spending some quality time with my family and some of our friends.  Monday, my hubby and I celebrated our 13th wedding anniversary.  Scott is such a blessing to me!!  I thank God for him and my two darling girls every day.  Yesterday, I had a root canal done and was in pain...so sorry it has taken me so long to get into the swing of things this year.

Today I have a few cards to share with you...

First...for the Whiff of Joy Challenge which is a  Sketch Challenge.

Today's challenge #95 is a sketch.  The sketch was designed by the talented and sweet Jane.


For my creation I used the adorable Kneeling Willow. I colored her with copics.  The dp is from my scraps and from DCWV Music.  The border of the card is cut out using the Grand Labels one die and the grand caliber.  
The flower is hand crocheted.  The inside flower includes a brass flower brad.  Behind my image is a heart panel using the Spellbinders Hearts (scalloped and classic).

My second creation is for two challenges:  The Your Next Stamp (YNS) challenge using my creative and talented dt sister, Kerri's sketch and the Creative Belli challenge to use snow (I have another creation for this challenge that is posted on the Creative Belli challenge blog which I will post tomorrow).

For my creation I used the image Fhiona Skating from YNS.
