12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop Day 2

Welcome to the Twelve Days of Christmas Blog Hop! You should have come from Inga's blog. If you are starting here and wish to hop from the beginning of the hop, please visit Lisa’s blog. This is 12 days of Christmas, with each day offering a different project on each blog. Each crafter is sharing something new each day of the hop that has to do with Christmas. Hopefully, you’ll pick up some great ideas for your own Christmas gift giving this season. You don’t want to miss a day so, grab a cup of coffee, sit back, and enjoy!

Here is my project for DAY 2:

I used a Tim Holtz Stamper's Anonymous Santa stamp for this card. I stamped and embossed all of the image, then I cut it out. The edge is done in my new Tim Holtz Distress berry red ink. Then sentiment is a Michael's Reflection's stamp that was stamped and embossed on a Tim Holtz tattered banner die. The green is a Spellbinder Nestabilitie lattice rectangle. It is mounted on a piece of red cardstock. The inside is done with a JRL Design Christmas sentiment stamp, which I stamped and embossed in red on the next smaller size of the Nestabilitie rectangle.

Your next stop on the hop is Kerri’s blog.

I am offering blog candy, but you have to participate with a comment every day. Don’t forget to come back every day and leave a comment for your chance to win this stamp set from Pink By Design.

The other day I called up my BFF and asked her if she wanted to go shopping. Well of course she did. LOL We had a plan to go to the Hobby lobby. I had not been to this store in quite a few years, since it is not close by. It's about 45 minutes to an hour away, but of course we were going on a a Friday, after work, and it was raining like crazy. I even printed out 40% off coupons for each of us and we left for our big craft store shopping trip. However, when we got to the store, it was closed. Not just closed due to hours, but not there anymore closed! Wow were we disappointed. Well I knew of another store in the same town, although on the opposite side of town, so we decided to not be defeated and drove to that store - Artco. We were in heaven! We shopped till we dropped. I think we were there for at least 3 hours! We had a great time finding all kinds of things to add to our stash. One thing that I found was this Mouse House October stamp of the month stamp that I used today for my card.

My project for today is a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card. The card is made from orange textured card stock. A piece of K&Comapnay paper was cut and added to the front. I added a bat trim from the same package of K&Company Halloween paper. I stamped the House Mouse stamp in black and embossed it. I used Copics to color it. I used Stampin' Up pens to color the sentiment on the insde. I used white cardstock, rounded the corners, then distressed the edges with Tim Holtz lilac distressing ink for both the image and the sentiment. Then I put it on a piece of purple cardstock behind both. I specifically bought these two stamps, so that I could make this card for my other BFF, who has a collection of Mouse House stamps. I know she will love it and appreciate it.

Now on to AMY blog to see another great project!

13 Days of Halloween Blog Hop Day 6

DAY 6

My project for today is a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card. The card is made from orange textured card stock. A piece of K&Comapnay Swirly green paper was cut smaller and adde to the front. A witch flying in front of a moon was fussy cut from a piece of K&Company Halloween paper. The witches stamp is from American Art Stamps. I stamped it in black and embossedit. I stamped the sentiment part again, also embossing it. This allowed me to use copics without worry of bleeding, plus made the ink stand out more and not get washed out. I colored the sentiment with copics and popped it up with pop dots. I used copics on the witches and tree. The moon is colored with bright yellow stickles. I used my Zutter to diestress the edges. I love that tool in my craft room. I could easily use a different tool, but you just put the eddge of the paper in, pull it through and it's done. It's so fast, a little noisy, but very effective. I then diestressed the edges of the white paper with Tim Hotz Distressing Ink - Rusty Hinges and decided to rub it all over the paper to take away the brightness of the white.
