Winter on Mushroom Lane

It's a new challenge at Cornish Heritage Farms   and I'd love to see you create a winter themed card. With so many stamps and digital images available to you in the store,   you have tons of options.

I chose to work with Christmas at 16 Mushroom Lane.  Isn't this digital stamp perfect for this challenge?



 

The background paper was embossed with a Cuttlebug embossing folder.  The image was colored with Zig Markers and then die cut.  The sentiment is from the Night Before Christmas.

Who luvs u?

It's my day to post on the Basically Bare blog.  Check out my post using the Owl Embellies. 



 
 
 
 

I inked the owl with several shades of brown ink from Clearsnap, then assembled the owl.  Random left over stickers created a fun sentiment.

Naughty or Nice

Hey everyone, it's a new challenge at The Crafters Challenge Blog.  Today's sponsor is Fred She Said and the challenge is to make it sparkle!

I loved this Naughty or Nice Elf  digi image, so I colored her with Coic Markers.  The coordinated sentiment was cut apart so that a piece could be added to the interior of the card.






The pattern paper is from MME and is totally sparkled up so it was perfect to use as the back drop for this little elf!



And the interior-------

Merry Christmas

Hi everyone. It's Wednesday and that means its time for a new challenge at Mark's Finest Papers and Stamps. 

This week's Simple Salutations Challenge #76 is all about using non traditional Christmas colors on your Christmas cards this week.

 
I chose to create a 4" square card this week used the Holiday Tags set with some pink and gray papers (love this combination).  I stamped branches from the Joyous Seasons set directly on the background paper, adding a few Robins Nest Dew Drops.  Santa was stamped on an oval die cut and the sentiment was added across the top of the card.

Better Not Pout

Hey everyone, it's a new challenge at Cornish Heritage Farms   and Frances would like us to create a card inspired by a Christmas Carol.

Working with the Night Before Christmas stamp set, I found this music sheet that I could use as a background.  The December calendar worked well as the base for my sentiment "Better not pout", which as you know comes from the Christmas song - Santa Claus is Coming to Town.

Just for you Tags

Hi everyone, it's a new challenge on the  Oozak blog  and we'd love to see your  creations using something new and something old.  I needed some tags so I that's what I created.


 
 
The "old" is the Justrite Stampers I have had for awhile.  The "new" is the Spellbinders wreath die I recently received.

 
 
These are pretty easy to make too. Just emboss the tag with a Cuttlebug embossing folder and ink it with black ink.  Stamp the sentiment and die cut the wreath.  Assemble two layers of wreaths, adhere around the sentiments.   To simulate the berries, I used Robin's Nest Dew Drops, adhering them with the Best Glue Ever from ScraPerfect. 
 
 
Supplies:
Cardstock: Stampin Up
Embossing:  Cuttlebug
Stamps: Justrite Stapers
Ink: Clearsnap
Dies: Spellbinders
Staples: Tim Holtz
Adhesive: ScraPerfect
Dew Drops: Robin's Nest

Solace

Good morning everyone.  It's Thomas Kinkade week at Cornish Heritage Farms. 

This week I'm using  The Forest Chapel   stamp which is another incredibly detailed stamp.  I stamped the image with Clearsnap's Blackbird  Chalk Ink, then I added touches of color with Zig Markers.  



Ranger Antique Linen and Broken China Distress Inks were used over the image to provide a twilight effect. Walnut Ink was used along the edges of the image and the card.  Then the completed image was matted with brown and blue cardstock to help accentuate the flowing stream.



Thanks for stopping by today.

Happy Birthday

Hi everyone. It's Wednesday and that means its time for a new challenge at Marks Finest Papers and Stamps     Come on and try them, you'll love them and there is a chance to win some awesome stamps from Mark's Finest Papers and Stamps.

This week's Simple Salutations Challenge #74 is all about creating masculine birthday cards.  I used theTiger and Time sets to create this card.



 
 
 
This card came together quickly by using the same papers and inks.  I stamped the Tiger on Kraft cardstock using Ranger Walnut Stain and gently inked the edges with additional Walnut Stain.  The "sorry" sentiment was stamped directly on an oval die cut.  Happy Birthday was stamped on cream cardstock, inked with Walnut Stain and mounted on Kraft cardstock.  It was then added tot he oval with pop dots for dimension.

Santa's List

It's a new challenge at Cornish Heritage Farms   and since December 4 is Santa's List Day, Frances would like us to create a card inspired by Santa himself!  There are so many options here.

I chose to work with the Night Before Christmas stamp set, just adding some color to the perimeter of the image and the leaves on the sentiment.






To emphasize the image, I scored the cardstock above and below the image.  Since I used Core-dinations cardstock, the scoring allowed the under color to show through.
