2016 Holiday Card Series #21 and Lawnscaping Challenge #144


Hi friends! Today's post is bittersweet. Not only is it the final card in my 2016 Holiday Card Series, it's also our very last Lawnscaping Challenge. I've been on the Lawnscaping design team since day one, and it has been such a wonderful experience, working with amazingly talented ladies, and making so many wonderful friends. I'm so sad to see it end. 


Challenge #144 is all about Christmas. I wanted to do something extra special, so I created my first ever pop-up box card. I love how it has so much dimension, yet still folds flat to fit inside an A2 size envelope without even any extra postage! I used the Lawn Fawn and Simon Says Stamp Stamptember collaboration set, Happy Howlidays. But if you missed out on that set, not to worry. In the video I give you suggestions for how to recreate a very similar card using other images. Click on the video link to watch it there in HD and please don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe.



Please head over to the Lawnscaping Challenge blog and check out the other amazing design team projects and don't forget to link up your own to play along. It's your last chance to win a FREE stamp set of your choice from Lawn Fawn. I hope you'll join us. Have a great day!

2016 Holiday Card Series #20


Hi there, friends! Today I bring you Day 20 in my 2016 Holiday Card Series! Just one card to go, and then I'll be taking a break to enjoy spending time with my family over the holidays. For today's card, I used the adorable Memory Box Snowglobe Wishes stamp set. This sleeping deer just stole my heart! And I love how Santa is tiptoeing up with his sack full of goodies to leave this sweet deer a Christmas gift.

2016 Holiday Card Series #19


Hi friends! Today I bring you these sweet Shake It Up Polar Bears from Kraftin' Kimmie  for Day 19 of my 2016 Holiday Card Series. I thought it would be fun to create a scene that flowed across three tags on a card front, made up of a Distress Inked background. My images were watercolored using Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens. Don't these cute little guys make you smile?

2016 Holiday Card Series #18


Happy Monday, friends! I'm starting the week off with another episode in my 2016 Holiday Card Series! We're coming down to the wire here with Day 18. Today I'm using this super adorable set, the Beary Merry by Neat & Tangled. Isn't that bear just the cutest!

I wanted to create a more rustic looking card, using the gorgeous Christmas Deliver 6x6 by Carta Bella. I did some Copic coloring, and added a little paper-piecing to take advantage of a few more of those lovely patterns.

2016 Holiday Card Series #17


Happy Friday, everyone, and welcome to Day #17 in my 2016 Holiday Card Series! Today I'm recreating a card that I originally shared for Lawn Fawn's A Very Fawny Holiday Week, because I loved this little glimpse inside the igloo with these penguins from Snow Cool. I used the tree and string of lights from Cheery Christmas to help set the scene, along with a sentiment from Merry Messages.

Can you spot my big oops on this card? I bet you can't! In the video, I show you how to take your screw ups and fix them, because believe me, I do it all the time!

Friends, I am so excited to be bringing you Card #16 in my 2016 Holiday Card Series this morning, because this Cup of Happiness set from Your Next Stamp is seriously the cutest thing ever! I was dying to color these cuties up and share them with you. Just look at the faces on those marshmallow guys! So hilarious! And that bear mug is just too, too cute.

I hope you enjoy the video. All supplies are listed and linked below the video in the description bar, although YouTube has been glitchy with links lately for me. I've contacted Support and I hope to have it resolved quickly for you guys. 

But for now, click on the YouTube icon at the bottom right corner to watch there in HD, and please don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe. It means a lot to have your support! Love you guys!



I would also like to enter this card in the Your Next Stamp Color Challenge #53. These papers worked beautifully for their color scheme.

2016 Holiday Card Series #14


Happy Friday, friends! Today I bring you Card #14 in my 2016 Holiday Card Series. This one features the adorable Avery Elle Polar Pals stamp set, which I have been itching to use for quite a while. It's funny, I really, really dislike snow (yes, I do live in the reigning Snowiest City in the US), yet these arctic critters are some of my most favorite of all -- especially polar bears! And I love creating scenes with them.

I colored my images with Copic markers and all colors and supplies are listed in the video, with links in the description bar below. I hope you enjoy it!
