Christmas cardmaking has begun!

Good evening everyone!!! Well I recently purchased some christmas images from birdie brown on etsy and just couldn’t wait to make some cards with them. I recently found this super talented digi designer and just loveeee her images. Unfortunately she will not be making any more and will be taking a break. I’m really sad by the news but we all must take care of ourselves and family first.

Here are two cards I made using “Let it snow” and “skinny Santa”

For this one I also used the new lawn fawn holiday paper pad and May arts new skinny chevron ribbon in yellow which will be up for sale in my store shortly and my christmas enamel dots.

To make the faux snow in the background i cut transparent paper and taped the sides with washi tape then added silver glitter.

Thanks for stopping by and don’t forget to leave some love at the bottom 🙂

“Color Theme” VSC #17 Challenge

Good morning everyone!!! It’s time for a new challenge over at our challenge blog but before we get into that I wanted to share with you about my new venture into the world of enamel dots. I have decided to start my own line of enamel dots. Each package contains 24 pcs and 3 different colors. Who doesn’t love these super cute embellisments. I loved hoarding them and never wanted to use them. They add flair and that pop of color to any project and are also self adhesive. They are available for sale now in the shop and also my storenvy shop. They are $2.00 each and I currently have three different sets.
