Poinsettia Die Cuts

 This is for the "Poinsettia" themed Christmas challenge, using Tim Holtz poinsettia die and embossing folder set, and I think the embossing folder for the background is Simon Says Stamp. I keep my folders in this container (below) that I got from Ikea years back. They are organized by theme a little bit in here, flowers and trees/leaves in the front, followed by frames, birthday, and then holidays in the back. Packaging was just taking up room so I removed it (but save it all in the closet).

Weekly Christmas Card Challenge

There is a fun way to challenge yourself to get a headstart on next year's Christmas card making with this Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/351932248498687 Each week features a different theme to motivate you. The first prompt was to recycle some gift wrap or gift tags, the "no peeking" was wrapping paper.

Week 2 was bears, (Stampendous stamps and dies.)

Week 3- Mistletoe or Wine. I used Crafters Companion stencils.

                                 Week 4- Trio of Trees, various die cuts used.

                               

                                Week 5- Pink and blue. Hero Arts transfer for greeting, sequins to decorate tree.

 

Stencilled Peonies

 This card uses all Hero Arts supplies for the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge of Clean and Simple featuring Hero Arts. I used the Color Layering Peonies stencils with the Ode To Andy Warhol background stamp and the Collage Backgrounds transfers.

All Aboard!

 A fun card using Sunny Studio Stamps images, Graphic45 paper and die cut sentiment for Simon Says Stamp Monday die cutting challenge.

Christmas Minis

 

Fun with Sizzix Tim Holtz Christmas Minis, Christmas 2024 paper pack and sticker book. For the top Santa I used the packaging from the Holiday Baubles embellishments for the shaker. For Simon's Monday dies challenge, celebrating Die-cember.

Festive Friends

 How cute are the Spellbinders Festive Friends dies! 

Corny Scarecrow

 

I showed some photos of the distress oxide colors I like to use for outdoor scenes, it looks more smoothly blended in real life.

The Scarecrow dies are from Elizabeth Craft Designs.
