Warm Wishes | Avery Elle

I'm back again with another project that was inspired by Tracey McNeely's 25 Days of Christmas Tags!  

This one was inspired by Day 17 - Avery Elle.

I started off with the retired Avery Elle Circle Tag Die.

I combined:

Party Pals  |  Dear Santa  |  Polar Pals

Those cute Party Pals make me smile.  The sentiment is from the retired Polar Pals set and I used the hat and holly from the Dear Santa set.

I was inspired by Avery Elle's Jamie Gracz's tag:

I used an embossing folder for added texture on my tag.

Thanks for the wonderful inspiration Jamie!

A Bushel and a Peck | My Favorite Things

The MFT BB Harvest Mouse set is so cute.  I stamped and cut out all the images and colored them up with copic markers.

Loving this color trio with a pop of red, what do you think?  Those guys crack me up...they're so busy.

I made this especially for my boy and then forgot to put it in his care package!  So it'll go out separately to him.  We always miss him, especially during the holidays.  I'm happy that his Dad and Stepmom now live in NY too.  

Looking forward to seeing the boy for Christmas....as I listen to Christmas music while typing up this post.

This was inspired by the MFT Sketch Challenge:

Warm Winter Greetings | Pretty Pink Posh

Have you been following Tracey McNeely's 25 Days of Christmas Tags?  

It's such a great way to dive into your crafty supplies and ink up some sets!   I was inspired by Day 12 - Pretty Pink Posh.

Any guesses which tag inspired me?

I inked up the Christmas Friends set.  The sentiment is from the Holiday Greetings set.

I combined Worn Lipstick and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide on the Scallop Square Tags Die.

I was inspired by Tracey McNeely!  

I used the same color palette and overall design although yes, mine is a caffeinated design.

A big thank you to Tracey for all the inspiration!

Fa La La | Reverse Confetti | Black Friday SALE!

Hello and Happy Friday!  Today I'm sharing a couple of holiday designs featuring Reverse Confetti!

I combined the Boo To You and Fa La La Circle Confetti Cuts.  I kept both designs clean and simple = postal friendly.

My first one combines Salsa and Sunshine inks.  The strips on the side are one of my favorite basic cardstock colors, Stone.

This was inspired by The Paper Players:

This next one is a more playful design combining Lime Green and Iced Aqua.  The Fa La La has been cut and trimmed from gold cardstock.

The pattern strip is from our latest 6x6 paper pad, Winter Solstice.

Both cards were inspired by CAS(E) this sketch!

So excited that Reverse Confetti has started their Black Friday SALE early!  It's today through November 25th!

Awesome SALE!  Great time to load up!  Here are a couple of my recent Reverse Confetti favorites:

Let it Snow | Lawn Fawn

I didn't start this card until I cleaned off my desk this morning which took forever!  Now it's messy again but I I think every set that I used had their first inking today:

I know, that's a ton of sets but let's focus on the positive that I'm using what I have.  So let's start with my paper choices:

Knock on Wood 6x6

Really Rainbow 6x6

Really Rainbow Christmas 6x6

I adore the Stitched Mountain Borders, they look so fun in the Knock on Wood paper!  I wanted to cut the snowy tops in Craft Foam but I challenged myself to make a postal friendly card, no craft foam, no foam adhesive and no bumpiness.

I combined the following Lawn Fawn stamp sets:

Critters in the Arctic

Frosty Fairy Friends

Beary Happy Holidays

Here are the copics I used:

The Copic Ciao is E51.   Something I've been doing is to pop the copics I'm using for a project in mason jars for ease and organization.  Yes, my desk can get that messy = things get lost.

I'm linking up to Lawn Fawnatics:

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Seagull with a coffee | MFT Stamps | Blogaversary Winners!

Huh?  Seagulls + Coffee?  Ha, why not?

I think this might be the first time I've inked up the MFT Seaside Seagulls set.

I was inspired by the latest MFT Sketch:

Have you noticed lately that I've been posting multiples of caffeinated designs?

It was to have a total of 10 Coffee Designs so that I could use them for my blogaversary prizes:
