Not a Creature was Stirring....

Hello! Today I have a Doodle Pantry Christmas Card to show you. The image is from the 'Holiday Ants' set. This set includes two different images and several sentiments. It is also available pre-colored and with coodinating digi papers. I chose to color the image myself, but I used the red digi paper on my card. My layout is from JUGS104. I used a Cuttlebug Snowflake Folder for the white background panel, and two different punches from E.K. Success. My embellishments are a felt snowflake from JoAnn's Fabrics and Crafts, Crystal Domes, and Ribbon.
Because the sentiment was a two-part one, I decorated the inside of my card as well.



Have a great day! Amy

Digital Tuesday Challenge 'Fall Colors'

Hello and welcome to another Digital Tuesday Challenge. Our challenge this week is 'Fall Colors'; simply make a card or project using the colors you see in the Fall. It doesn't have to be fall-themed, you only need to use Fall Colors and one digital element. Our sponsor this week is 'Wee Stamps'.

To make my card, I used the Wee Stamps image "Sweet Blossom" and a sketch I Love Sketches. I focused on all the plum and red colors you see this time of year. My paper is Basic Grey 'Indian Summer'. I used felt buttons from JoAnn's, ribbon from Stampin Up!, hemp, and dew drops for embellishment. I put Stickles on all the flowers in the main image.


If you'd like to play along with us this week, simply click on the Digital Tuesday Challenge Blinkie in my sidebar and it will take you directly to the Challenge Site with further instructions.


Have a great day! Amy

Give Thanks

Hello! Today I have a Paper Fashions Fall/Thanksgiving Card that uses three different sets. The basket is from the 'All About Containers' set, the gourds are from the 'Thanksgiving Blessings' set, and the sentiment is from the 'Thanksgiving Blessings Sentiments' set.

To make my card, I used fall paper from Papertrey Ink. I cut out the gourds and the basket, and I popped the basket only up on dimensionals, but glued the gourds to the sentiment panel. For embellishment I used a felt button flower from JoAnn's Fabrics and Crafts, ribbon, a fabric button brad from Stampin Up! and dew drops. I'm making some progress on my house for the Christmas Walk. I got the upstairs bedrooms and hallway cleaned and decorated, the kitchen cleaned and about 3/4 decorated, one tree completely assembled and up, one tree assembled but has yet to be decorated, and I'm about 3/4 of the way done with the family room. So I only have about 7 rooms left plus the outside, and about 4 weeks left till the walk. Wish me luck! LOL! Have a great day! Amy
