Christmas Cupcake

Howdy Friends! Well, I finally had a chance to stamp for the first time in almost 6 weeks! :) I'm a week late on doing this color challenge, but better late than never! :) We were supposed to use Bravo Burgundy, Very Vanilla, and Kraft. I'm out of BB...so I used ruby red instead. It's close, but not exact.

I used the adorable Christmas Cupcake stamp from Treehouse Stamps. :) I did the paper piercing technique on it. All the papers can be found at Treehouse Stamps. They are from the Basic Grey Wassail Paper Pad! :) I added some liquid pearls to add a little more class to this card. :) I hope you like it!

Hugs,

Double Embossed Eat Ham

This is for today's SKETCH CHALLENGE. I included Tuesday's COLOR CHALLENGE - Neutrals with a Pop, and did another of Monday's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE - Double Embossing. I had to do another of the double embossing challenge since I finally figured it out and missed the CC Tuesday so I had to include it as well. I am addicted and can not help it. LOL. I used the cuttlebug Houndstooth folder and the large rectangle Nestie on the focal panel which was then stamped in espress ink and colored with copics E30, E31, E33, E34, E35, 337, R24, R27, R29, Y08 and Y17. My main image is matted on creamy caramel. Panel 2 is summer sun and panels 4 is a real red 1in square spilt in the middle. My stamp set I used was recently released by TREEHOUSE STAMPS - Eat Ham. Hope you like it.

Wonderful Winter Polar Bear

This is for today's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE - Double Embossing. I used today's sketch from MOJO MONDAY. My stamp is from the dollar bin Snag'Em images from TREEHOUSE STAMPS. My image was stamped in black and colored with copic markers after using the Cuttlebug Snowflake embossing folder and Labels #3 for the double emboss center. This is matted on baja breeze cs. This polar bear is just too adorable. My dp is from My Minds Eye Wonderful Winter. It is so glittery and shiny. My base is kiwi kiss cs. RECIPE: Stamps: Polar Bear - Snag'em from Treehouse Stamps Paper: white, baja breeze, kiwi kiss, MME Wonderful Winter Ink: black, kiwi kiss Accessories: 3mm gems, ribbon, stickles Techniques: double embossing

I used Recollections Halloween dp for this and kiwi kiss on the front panel. I punched a Martha Stewart Witch and Cauldron & Spider in black and stamped this cute sentiment from a recently released set called "Best Witches" from TREEHOUSE STAMPS in black. Hope you like it.

Eat Ham Sneak Peek

This is for tonights release from TREEHOUSE STAMPS. Ashley is releasing 4 sets tonight at midnight that you will not want to miss. This is just one of the 4. This set is called "EAT HAM" and it is just adorable to me. I love the sentiments in it. I stamped the turkey in espress ink then colored with copics and applied stickles. I stamped the Eat Ham on white, drew a box around it and used the stem from Simple Wishes #one of the other sets being released# for the sign post. This is popped up in front of the turkey image. I used some stripped dp I also got from Treehouse Stamps and some matching solid cs for the top. I hand doodled across the top and joined the dp and cs with some brown 1/2in satin ribbon. I really hope you like it. RECIPE: Stamps: Eat Ham - THS Paper: white, stripped dp, banana creme Ink: espresso Accessories: ribbon, dimensionals, stickles Techniques: copic coloring, 3D Neva

Each wrapper paper measures 3 1/2" by 3". Going long ways... score at 1" & 2 1/2". Then just wrap & glue. Add whatever embellishments you'd like...and that's it! :) I used the Eerie & Indian Summer decorative papers from Basic Grey.
