Merry Monday Christmas Card Challenge #237

Good Morning, I am your hostess this week for this week's Merry Monday Christmas Card Challenge. My challenge is to Make a Christmas card with shimmer or sparkle on it.


I pulled out a stencil and some texture paste for my card. Starting from the top I added black, steel blue and then silver glitter to a background of plaid designer paper. I heat embossed the sentiment then popped it up with foam tape. I added a thin layer of black card stock for a border.


Supplies: White and black cardstock, Designer Paper - Lawn Fawn, Penny Black - Hello Winter, Dreamweaver Stencil, glitter.

Good Afternoon, a quick post for Valentine's Day. I was lucky enough to take the day off today so my husband and I spent the day together doing random things.

Merry Monday Christmas Card Challenge #234

Happy Monday, we are back with a new Merry Monday Christmas Card Challenge. This week Kathy is our hostess and her challenge: Make a CAS (clean and simple) Christmas Card.


I love the idea of this challenge, things have been pretty busy lately and I have been trying to get the hang of making CAS cards for those times when I want to craft but don't have a lot of time.

I made a really simple card. I used a die cut for the trees and pieced it back together with DP paper scraps. I added a popped up sentiment from the same paper pack.



Supplies: White  and red card stock, Designer Paper - Pink Paislee, Simon Says - Winter trees.

Be sure to play along with us for the Merry Monday challenge.

Inspired by All the Little Things #42

Good Morning and Happy Saturday, I am so honoured to have been asked by Lesley Crohan from Always Playing with Paper to be a Creative Guest Design for Inspired by All the Little Things #42.. I am very exciting:)


I had all sorts of wonderful ideas flashing through my head when I say this image. In the end I went with a CAS card.

I decided to use some scraps I had on the corner of my table and I have this "love" stamp calling to me from my basket of new items to use.

I heat embossed the sentiment and popped up the heart with foam tape. I finished by mounting my top panel to some red card stock to add a little more colour.


Supplies: White and red card stock, Simon Say stamps - die cuts.

Thank you Lesley and team for having me as a Guest this week. 

I hope you will be inspired to come play along with Inspired by All the Little Things #42.
