Cocoa Behind Christmas Tree

Happy Monday!

Can you believe Thanksgiving has come and gone. Get ready Christmas shopping. How about making a package of Christmas cards for a gift. Everyone loves homemade crafted cards. Check out the new December digis at Sweet 'N Sassy stamps. I can't decide which one is my favorite I love them all and you will too!

For today's card I used Cocoa's Christmas Tree. I colored it with copics. I colored the ornaments with gel pens and added gold beads for the trim! I used a circle nestie and eyelet circle for my focal image. A red silk ribbon ties up the card!

Have a great week and start making those Christmas cards!!!

Cocoa's Stocking

Today I have an adorable card for you, using a brand new digi image from Sweet 'N Sassy Stamps. I paper pieced the stocking with SEI Winter Song. I cut out the focal image with my oval nestie and beaded oval. Isn't this guy just the cutest? Well I have the Christmas music playing and I think I even saw some snow flurries...

Sugar Creek Hollow Technique Challenge

Happy Saturday! Are you still stuffed with turkey? Today is our blog day over at Sugar Creek Hollow. Today we were challenged to use a faux barn board technique. Well after many attempts at slapping some paint on some paper, I went for an old background stamp to create a distressed barnboard effect. I used the Scruffy manger and the "Believe" stamp from SCH. Would you like the believe stamp you can have it for free. Go on over to the Sugar Creek Hollow store. The rust crinkle ribon is also from SCH and it is so much fun to work with!

Hop on over to the blog and see what fabulous creations the DT has done for you!
