Hello and Welcome to another challenge at Merry Monday! This weeks challenge is bought to you by Sue. She has challenged us to use pastel colors for our Christmas card. I hope you get a chance to play along with us this week. You can check out the rest of the Design Team designs HERE!
For my design this week I use a panel of the Kohi I-Noor Bristol card and ink blended a soufflé of Distress inks onto the panel (Peacock Feathers, Scattered Straw, Worn Lipstick, Picked Raspberry). The panel was die cut with the SSS Ring Wreath twice (once with Neenah) the ornaments were inlayed into the die cut and a few were adhered with foam dots for dimension. The sentiment is from the SSS/Avery Elle Merry Mistletoe Stamptember collaboration stamped with Mama Elephant (Dark Storm Ink). This card was pretty easy to pull together.
To finish my card I added a few Ranger Gold Stickles and a loosely tied bow with Gold Twine. I hope you’ll join in the fun this week!

Happy Monday… my crafty friends I’m back with another card for this weeks Merry Monday Christmas challenge. This week Nina challenged us to create a Christmas card with snow. You can read all about the challenge HERE and also see what the rest of the design team created this week.
My design this week I wanted to use the Avery Elle Dashing through the Snow stamp set. I blended Peacock Feathers, Chipped Sapphire Distress inks onto (4×5.25) panel of Kohi I-Noor Bristol card, I die cut the Lawn Fawn Snowy Backdrop and used it as a stencil to add the snowy look to my night sky background. I used a sponge dauber to add the VersaMark ink and heat embossed with Stampendous Fine Detail (EP). The snowy hills was die cut out of Neenah Solar white card and ink blended with a little Chipped Sapphire distress ink to match the background.
I stamped the image from the stamp set and Copic colored with various Copic Markers (YG95,97,99 BG9, 11,13, 18 R46,BG57, Y13, E37) and cut it out with my Brother Scan N Cut. The sentiment was stamped with VersaFine Onyx ink, to finish off my card I splattered a few droplets of Copic Opaque White and my Sakura White Gelly Roll pen to add snow onto the car and tree and adhered onto an A2 Neenah Solar White card base. I hope you like my take on this weeks challenge don’t forget to head on over and play along with us this week.

Hello, my crafty friends…….. It feel like it’s been forever since I’ve sat down and really had an opportunity to create. It felt good to just play. I moved a couple of months ago and it seem as though things were in a disarray including me.. (lol) so this past weekend I did nothing but play. My new craft space is called the Loft-A-Mania it’s cute and cozy.
Well my friends it’s Tic Tac Toe Thursday and for my design this week I knew I wanted to create off the bottom row across (Sequins, Watercolor, Square) I know it says square you’ve had one of those moments where you finished the design and you look at the challenge and realize Oop’s yeah! that’s what I said.
I wanted to do some ink smooshing so I took a few distress inks (Picked Raspberry, Festive Berries, Abandoned Coral) and smooshed onto a 4×5.25 panel of Strathmore Watercolor paper. I love how this background turned out… I die cut the SSS Clipping Hearts die out of the smooshed panel and inlay the hearts into the panel and popped some of the hearts with foam dots for dimension.
The love sentiment was die cut with the SSS Love die out of Stampin Up Gold Foil paper. I stamped the Sending You sentiment with the SSS Love stamp onto Basic Black cardstock with VersaMark ink and heat embossed with SSS Fine Gold (EP).
To finish off my design I added a few Lucy’s Little Things True Love sequins and adhered the panel onto an A2 Top Fold Neenah Solar White Card base. I hope you’ll join in the fun this week and while your at it you should check out the rest of the Design Team.
