You are my happy
I was playing with inks yesterday and this card is the result. I love the soft, subtle colors of the Soft Pastels Colorbox Chalk Paintbox.
Using the Jumbo Rollagraph Wheel - Define It and Watermark Embossing Ink , I created a pattern on gray cardstock, which I then embossed with Colorbox Donna Salazar Jasmine Embossing Powder. Using Foam Stylus Tips. I added colors from the Soft Pastels Colorbox Chalk Paintbox. I then used a tissue to rub off some ink, allowing the embossed words to show through.
I stamped my image with Colorbox Donna Salazar Black Inx and then embossed with Colorbox Donna Salazar Black Embossing Powder. I used Spellbinders dies to set my image and create the label. Hero Arts stamp with Colorbox Donna Salazar Black Inx was used on white cardstock that was cut to fit the label.

Merry Christmas Eve
Merry Christmas Eve to you. This is today's post at Just Imagine / Kreaxions.
As we all know, tomorrow is THE day. Hope everyone is done with their shopping and gift wrapping and taking some time to enjoy and relax. Just in case you need to create a card, here's a perfect one for today.
Because I didn't want to take away from the stamped image by using pattern papers, I opted to use Kreaxions punch 312 along the edge of the card. It's a perfect addition to the stamped image. As you can see, a large and small snowflake is punched each time you use the punch. Since I wanted the punched snowflakes to show, I also punched a strip of white cardstock and adhered it "off center" under the edge of the card.
The image was stamped on blue, white, pink and gray cardstock with Colorbox's Donna Salazar Jasmine Inx and embossed with Jasmine Embossing Powder. I then paper pieced the scene together and lightly inked around the snowman with Petal Point Inks for some depth.
Before adhering the image, I spritzed the black card with Clearsnap's Vanilla Smooch Spritz.
Enjoy your holiday season.

Cardstock: Bazzill
Ink: Colorbox Petal Point Inks-Celebration, Donna Salazar Jasmine Inx and Embossing Powder

Wintertime
Time to finish those last minute cards and gifts. I used Bo Bunny pattern papers on this set, first punching along the bottom of my card with Kreaxions punch #311. I loved the open effect along the edge, so I inserted some pattern paper to finish off the bottom of my card.
The stamp was colored with Copic Markers. The sentiment was stamped with Donna Salazar Black Inx and then embossed.
\
The box was made with 2 pieces of pattern paper, each 8" x 8", then folded and scored. No tape was used and the box stays together nicely. I used the same punch on white cardstock and added it around the box. Then, I just added some twine to hold it together and you are done - a perfect box for something small and awesome!!!
Add a tag and voila - done and done.

Winter Wonderland
It is time for snow. I can feel it coming. Who wouldn't love the following card, made with a mixture of Clearsnap and Imaginisce products. It was so much fun to make.
I used the Doodle Rollagraph wheel along the bottom of the cardstock with Jasmine Inx and Embossing Powder. I then used Design Adhesives Snow Fun with Jasmine Embossing Powder along the top section of the card. A piece of Imaginisce Christmas Magic paper was added in the center.
Before adhering the snowman and sentiment, I spritzed them with Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz for a little shimmer. Once they dried, I added them to the card with foam adhesives.

Merry Christmas
Christmas is only a few days away and it's time to finish up Christmas card. I've had this stamp for quite awhile, but could never get the stamped image to look quite right. But, I was able to finally get the look I wanted with Colorbox's Petal Point Celebration Inks and Scentz Snickerdoodle Embossing Powder.
Cut cardstock to fit card front.
Cut 2 pieces of Graphic45 pattern paper to fit front.
Punch edge of one with Fiskars punch.
Ink stamp with 3 stamp colors, being careful not to overlap too much.
Spritz the stamp with water and stamp on white cardstock.
Add Scentz Snickerdoodle Embossing Powder and heat set.
Die cut into a circle and ink edges with gold.
Mat with brown cardstock die cut into a scalloped circle.
Stamp sentiment in gold ink and emboss with Scentz Snickerdoodle Embossing Powder.
Add to card front.
I love that the Snickerdoodle Embossing Powder did not overpower the ink colors. It allowed the colors to show through while providing a nice metallic effect.

Authentique papers are very sturdy and can hold up to the whatever I create. I was lucky enough to work with the Splendid paper line this month. These shoes are always fun to make and this paperline was perfect to use. I love that the papers are doublesided because both sides are visable in my projects. I used my Scor-pal to get good crease lines so the shoes would stand up well. Add a quick and easy matching purse and the recipient is sure to be thrilled!! This purse is about 4" wide, but it's big enough to hold some candy, chapstick or even a gift card.
I wrapped up some candy kisses and placed them inside the shoes for a little something sweet for the recipient.
Remember, there are 2 Blog Hop Prizes:
From Authentique Paper – Authentique Paper prize pack ($20 retail value)

Merry Christmice
This is the card I submitted for the first round of the Spellbinders Design Team tryouts. Alas, I did not make it, so I can now show off this card. I love how it all came together.
I started with Spellbinders Grand Scalloped Circles and created the card base, allowing the cutting edge to go off the edge of the cardstock so I had a card. I then used my Scor-pal to score the card. I cut another seperate Scalloped Circle for the top layer which I adhered half way up to create the stand.
I used a digi image from Elizabeth O. Dulemba and colored it with Copic Markers, adding some Spica pens for shimmer.
I cut a Grand Circle from black cardstock and a smaller Circle from gray cardstock. On the gray cardstock, I used Clearsnap's Music Notes Rollagraph Wheel with Ancient Page Pine Ink, then also inked around the edges of the circle. Some black twine from the Twinery was used around this circle.
For the base, I added another gray circle which was inked with Ancient Page Pine Ink. The sentiment was also stamped then inked with Ancient Page Pine Ink was added to the center of the base with foam adhesives to allow the card to stand up once it was open. Finally, I inked around the scallops with Donna Salazar's Black Mix'd Media Inx.

It's almost Christmas and we are finalizing our gifts. Gifts always need tags, so pull out your supplies and make a few. I guarantee they will be original!!
Giving a bottle of wine at the holidays always seems so boring; however, add a hand made tag and you've got a wonderfully festive holiday gift!
I used the Christmas Gifts Rollagraph Wheel with Stephanie Barnard Strawberry ink, then added Scentz Snickerdoodle Embossing Powder. Not only does the embossing powder create a fun blend of colors when mixed with the red ink, it also gives off a wonderfully festive scent while creating!!
Lots of Thoughts Design Adhesives created the "To/From" on the label and I added Scentz Peppermint Embossing Powder on top. One of the Banner Wishes "Cheers" was a perfect addition under the wreath. Cherry Pie Design Adhesives was used on the banner and Scentz Peppermint Embossing Powder was used on the sentiment.
I die cut holes in the tags and added an Imaginisce die cut Wreath on top. A little red ink just finished off the edges of the die cut. Just place the tag over the neck of the wine bottle and you are done. Why not create one or two today.

Imaginarium Designs
Imaginarium Designs is having a Design Team Call so I am showcasing my use of chipboard. I like to create a variety of projects and love to use chipboard for dimension.
I used chipboard elements down the right side of the page to hold information.
This butterfly card has a scalloped circle and butterfly cut from matboard, inked and embossed.
Used chipboard photo turns and letters.
Chipboard cut into 4" squares and covered with pattern paper, creating a post it note holder for coaches/teachers. The chipboard pieces were bound with the Bind it All, then placed in cellophane bags for a quick gift-to-go.
I cut chipboard with my Cricut as the base for the mountains before adding the cardstock.
The chipboard tree was painted and added to my card as the focal element.
For this mini envelope album, chipboard elements were used throughout.
Chipboard cut into 4" squares, covered with pattern paper and bound with the Bind It All to create a mini album about a newborn.
This is a Maya Road chipboard purse with chipboard inserts.
I altered these wooden letters altered with pattern paper and assorted chipboard elements.
Thanks for looking.

Also, be sure and stop by the Scor-pal Fan Page and leave a comment too because we will be giving away a Scor-Tape prize pack over there to someone who left a comment both there *and* on the blog. Because, after all, when you are making special gifts you want them to stay together and you want the best.
Of course, be sure and stop by the Jillibean Soup Blog too because they are playing along with Scor-pal this week as well!
I adore these pretty Christmas papers from Jillibean Soup and I had so much fun creating with them.
Using my Scor-Pal, I made Criss Cross cards from cardstock and decorated them with Jillibean papers. These cards are really quick and easy to do and so much fun to decorate. The interior card pulls out and can showcase a nice sentiment or some more pretty paper.
Little boxes can add just the right touch to any occasion. These little boxes can easily hold 3 Ghiradelli chocolates for a little something sweet for that special "someone". Just add a little ribbon and a tag to finish them off.
Thanks for stopping by today.
Supplies:
Scoring tool: Scor-pal
Cardstock: Bazzill
Pattern paper, stickers, buttons: Jillibean Soup
Ink: Clearsnap Chestnut Roan Chalk Ink
Twine: The Twinery

Thinking of You
The softness of Clearsnap inks provided a dreamy look to this card.
I used the butterfly punch (604), using the punched butterflies as stencils for the backg round of my card. Placing the butterflies down, I lightly inked over them with Clearsnap's Chiffon Ink. Once I was done, I lightly inked the spaces between the butterflies with Clearsnap's Peridot Ink. A light spray of Smooch Spritz in Vanilla shimmer added a little bit of shine. The sentiment was stamped directly on the inked and spritz background.
Then I used punch #924 to create a border across the center of my card.
