Good morning and welcome to a new challenge. This month we will be focusing on three colors. For my card I used my new “Coffee Break” stamp set and some new embellishemts. I watercolored the image using my peerless watercolors and then embossed the sentiment with opaque red embossing powder. I then added a few metal red hearts to the card. The hearts and stamp set can be purchased at the shop.

“Holiday Theme” VSC Challenge #29

1 Reply

Good morning crafters! It’s December 1st so that means a new challenge over at V’s Sweet challenge. Woohoo!! I just love this holiday season. I have been able to complete a lot of my projects that I had planned like my December Daily and my very first advent calendar (more info on that in the last post). I also want to try to do a Holiday card series starting today. Lets see how that goes. Anyways, I have two cards to share with you today and both use my “Christmas Cheer” stamp which is currently available as a digital download but I will have a clear set version available for purchase this week. yay!!! I am very excited about that.

So for card one I decided to try out a shaker card using foam sheets instead of my usual way which was with foam adhesive tape (which is way more expensive). I used the stitched rectangle dies from Lawn Fawn and added some sequins which is available for purchase in my shop. I colored in the ornaments with copic markers and then added glossy accents and glitter.

For my second card I used one of the ornament stamps as a pattern and heat embossed it with gold embossing powder. I then cut out some snowflake’s using a spellbinder die. I die cut the word greetings with my silhouette and then heat embossed it with some gold embossing powder.IMG_2208

Well I hope you like my cards and would love for you all to join in on our December challenge for a chance to win a $10 gift certificate to the shop. Thank you and Happy Crafting!

Advent Calendar

Leave a reply

Hello crafters!!! Wow holidays are approaching fast and of course I decided to take on a few projects like Dec daily and an advent calendar ( I blame Nicole for all of this). The good thing is that I am doing pretty good with timing(First time!) I usually wait till the last minute to do stuff and then I either do not finish it or just lose to mojo to do it.

So this year I decided to do an advent calendar after Nicole showed me hers. I couldn’t decide what kind of calendar to do and after searching through the silhouette online store I found the perfect cut file by Lori Whitlock. Now the cut file is for a 12×12 machine but I ended up resizing it to about 8×8 and I am perfectly fine with that size.

So here is my plan. I am going to buy a small lego set and then put the pieces in all 25 boxes so that way my son can built the set little by little. I will include just the instructions needed to put together the pieces for that date. Hopefully my son will enjoy it.

Well thank you for stopping by and happy crafting!!

Warm Socks

2 Replies

Good evening crafters! Just stopping by to show you a card I made using my new So Suzy Stamp sentiment I just received today. The stamp is called Warm Socks.  I created a cute dryer with socks to go with this sentiment. I then colored it in with copics. I just love how it turned out. These two go together like peanut butter and jelly lol. Well I hope you like my card and don’t forget to leave some love. Oh and sorry about the lighting. I took the picture at night so I had to substitute natural lighting with my lamp but tomorrow I will have a better picture. I was just too excited to finish this card and show you all. Thanks for stopping by and Happy Crafting!!

Christmas Cheer Stamp set

2 Replies

Hello crafters!!! Ok so I am a little late on this posting but hey better late than never .So if you do not follow me on my other social media accounts like Instagram and Facebook,  then you might not have seen my new digital stamp release and that is what I would like to talk to you about today. I recently put together a christmas stamp set but released it as digital format and plan to release it as a clear set also. (watch out for some exciting news about new stamps :insert super happy smiley emoji)

The new Christmas Cheer digital stamp set can be purchased here now and you will receive an email with a link where you can download the images.

Now I want to share with you some cards and tag I made using the digital stamp.

Just some of the reasons I like digi: 1. You can size it anyway you like 2. You get the image right away so no waiting for snail mail. 3. And if you have a die cut machine like the Silhouette then you can cut them out and not have to fussy cut them. 🙂

The sequins used in this tag is the new Snow mix sequins pack. Purchase yours here.IMG_1437 IMG_1191

The enamel dots used in the card below can also be purchased in my online shop. Click hereIMG_1190

How awesome is that falling snow! Used a stencil I made using the silhouette and smeared some embossing paste.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope that you will love this new digi. If you have any questions about digital stamps or just want to ask a question feel free to do so Vanessa@vssweetideas.com

Happy Crafting!!!
