Picket Fence - Jill Girl Card

 Well, I’m still on a warm caffeinated beverage challenge and holiday card quest! This time I coupled Picket Fence’s Jill Girl with some paper scraps, a Tim Holtz holiday greenery die set and Couture Creations’ The Gift of Giving paper pad.

I fussy cut the pieces of the Jill Girl image after stamping on different papers. Before assembling her, I stamped the image on bristol paper and used my Prismacolor pencils to color in the face and hair. I die cut holly sprigs, found a sentiment I thought would fit the card and started pulling everything together. Red and green twine and crystals were added as finishing touches. 

This card will be added to both the Fall 2022 | Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop and the Coffee + Holly Caffeinated Challenge #11 sponsored by Topflight Stamps (❤️❤️❤️).

Well, that’s it for today… need to do some exercising! Till next time, happy crafting!

Concord’s Cozy Up Set

 Made another card for the Coffee Loving PaperCrafters FB group’s Fall 2022 | Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop! Anyone can participate and this year, any season or occasion is fine! However, I’m still on a quest to get holiday cards done!

So I pulled out an older Concord and 9th stamp set, called Cozy Up and here’s a pic of it! Cute set from 2016!

I pulled out a sheet of Bristol paper, die cut it down and started stamping the background using a combo of brown distress inks and the new red one! I then stamped the cups, stocking and log heart with the same inks, embossing the brown images with a sparkly clear powder and the stocking with the new distress red powder. I fussy cut the images. Then I found a sheet of acetate and cut that down, leaving a strip at the top to tuck behind. I gold embossed the sentiment on that. I used an older brownish red Photoplay Christmas paper as backing. I used a strip of that to tack down the bottom bottom of the acetate once I assembled all the pieces. I think this set is adorable and don’t know why I haven’t used it more!

Pretty easy to create, once I carefully stamped, embossed and fussy cut pieces out.

Thanks for stopping by!

Warm & Cozy Studio Light/P13 Card

 Oh oh oh… if you haven’t checked it out yet,  Coffee Loving Papercrafters FB group are hosting a Fall 2022 | Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop! Just found out it started today… and, since I knew it was just around the corner, I, coincidentally, happened to pull out stamps today that I could use! This is so fun, and there are tons of sponsors, all of which I haven’t even check out yet! Look at this pretty graphic…

So, wanting to participate and kick start my participation, I pulled out this cute maybe retired? Studio Light stamp set… from a former Snowy Afternoon collection. I decided to couple it with a very pretty paper from P13, called Cozy Winter. 

Having made those decisions, I found a mixed media paper and selected watercolor paints I thought would match up with the paper. I stamped the cup and saucer lightly with a brown distress ink and proceeded to paint. I fussy cut the images out, and stamped and watercolored a star anise image. I cut the papers from the collection down, added a sparkly embossed brown sentiment fromthe Kit, twine and embellishments. I decided to also add a little sparkle as I will be turning this into a holiday card by adding glitter to the sugared sprinkles on the whipped cream!

 

Had so much fun creating this card! Next step upload to the site for a chance at winning some goodies! Be sure to check out the blog hop and cards submitted for inspiration! 

Well, thanks for stopping by… till next time, happy crafting!
