Sweet Christmas Wishes

Good afternoon! Last night I found some extra time to hop into my craft room and make a few Christmas cards. I always like to check out any challenges before I get started and came across this great sketch from Mojo Monday. 

Rather than three identical images, I chose to break them up, as well as changed the placement of the ribbon. What do you think?

The sentiment was stamped on cream cardstock and adhered to the card base, bordered by dark brown. I had some extra candy cane striped cardstock and wanted to use it before the Christmas season is over! I stamped the gingerbread people onto kraft paper and decorated them a bit. The long strip of satin ribbon was adhered to green cardstock with double sided tape in order to extend over the card base. The twine was then wrapped around the card, and I hid the twine's knot behind the large bow!

Hope you've enjoyed today's card... Thanks for stopping by! I have another great announcement with you tomorrow morning, so please stop back :)

Seasons Greetings

Hello! I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Today Christmas music came on the radio full force, there were snowflakes falling on my way to work, and I bought my first gift of the season. It's put me in quite the mood! Therefore, I pulled together some Christmas-themed papers and stamps and created the above card using Mojo Monday's sketch as inspiration. 

I punched all of the circles from Marvy nesting punches. After layering them onto the birch patterned paper, I trimmed the shapes to size. The ornament and holly were both paper pieced onto the card. I just can't resist detail cutting! 

Thanks for stopping by today... May the joyful Christmas spirit find you as well!

Berry Sweet Sketch

Hello bloggers! I'm playing along with Mojo Monday today, using Sketch 267 as inspiration. 

I was really excited about this sketch and created this:

The image and sentiment are a Market Street Stamps Mini. I stamped the strawberry image in Memento black ink and colored it with Copic markers. The patterned papers are from Christmas-themed collections; however, I think they work fantastic for these bright, juicy fruits! Here in Wisconsin, the temperature is in the 30's, so I'm creating some summer warmth with this card. 

I created the scalloped edge by cutting a piece of patterned paper 1 x 3 inches. The scalloped, stitched edge was added to the piece using the Sew Stamper tool from We R Memory Keepers. This is my new favorite tool! You can add even stitch marks in no time at all! I then cut around the stitches to create the scallops. 

Thanks for stopping by! Head to Mojo Monday to link up your own creation!
