Merriest Of Christmas – Merry Monday #269
Happy Monday… my crafty friends I’m back with another card for this weeks Merry Monday Christmas challenge. This week Debbie challenged us to create a Christmas card with three of the colors in the photo inspiration below. I’ve been under the weather the past few das and now I have a nasty sinus infection geez… I have no energy for anything.
I was in Michael’s a few days ago and ran across this cute little stamp set Merriest by AI (Art Impressions). I love the Girlfriends stamp set they just crack me up. I decided to ink this baby up and color these gals…
You can hear them belting out those Christmas Carols totally off key. You have to admit they are super cute! I hope you like my take on this weeks photo inspiration while your checking me out you should head on over and check out the rest of the Design Team creations.
I’m sorry I didn’t do a breakout this week this girl is trying to feel better.
Have a great week!

Whoops….TTTC027-Featured Designer Teresa DeWitt-Pierce
Hello my crafty friends… Happy Tic Tac Toe Thursday! My post is a little late this week I’ve been under the weather and yesterday I felt Flu like symptoms. We have exactly 17 days before Christmas…… and I hope your “NICE and not NAUGHTY” cause WHOOPS!!! He sees everything! While your checking out my card for this week please head on over and see what the rest of the Design Team is up to this week.
For my design this week I kept it simple. I stamped the Lil Inker Moody Santa imgae onto X-Press It Blending Card and colored with various copic markers. I die-cut the Taylored Expressions Diagonal Stripes Cutting Plate out of Real Red cardstock. I die cut the Santa with the die from the Moody Santa die and adhered onto a Lawn Fawn Lg Stitched Circle that was cut from Bazzill Vellum and adhered onto the Diagonal Stripes panel.
To finish off my card I removed some of the stripes from the diagonal cutting plate and adhered onto an A2 Top Fold card base to look like a Candy Cane. The sentiment was stamped with SSS Clear Ink and heat embossed with Stampendous Detail White embossing powder. Pretty easy my friends.

Paper: X-Press It Blending Card, (SU) Real Red, Bazzill Vellum

Merry Christmas – Merry Monday Christmas #268
Happy Monday… my crafty friends I’m back with another card for this weeks Merry Monday Christmas challenge. This week Deanne challenged us to create a Christmas card with a Santa hat. I was a little lost on this one considering I didn’t have a stamp with a Santa hat nor a die cut. I used the new Stamp set form the Simon Says Stamp December Card kit (Christmas Squad). You should head on over to see what the rest of the Design Team has created this week.
I stamped the Santa image onto X-Press It Blending card with Memento Tuxedo Black ink (copic friendly) and colored with various Copic Markers ( E31,33 C1, 110, 0, R24,27 RV21) then die cut with a Lawn Fawn (Lg Stitched 4 Bar Rectangles Die). I wanted the Santa hat to be the focal point on my design so I added some Nuvo Glitter Accents to the fur trim and Nuvo Crystal Glaze to the hat. Here’s a close up of the hat.
To finish my card I cut a panel of the Doodlebug design (Milk & Cookies 6×6 paper) with the Santa’s on it and adhered to an A2 Top Fold Stampin Up (Real Red) card base.
Crafty Supplies:
Paper: X-Press It Blending Card, Real Red (SU)
Specialty Paper: Doodlebug (Milk & Cookies 6×6 paper pad)

Happy Monday… my crafty friends I’m back with another card for this weeks Merry Monday Christmas challenge. This week Colleen challenged us to create a Christmas card in (green, blue, white, silver and vellum)
For my design this week I’m using the Poinsettia Ribbon die from Memory Box. I die cut it in (DCWV) Glitzy Glitter Silver and Blueish Teal card-stock and adhered the Blueish Teal poinsettia petals onto the silver petals. I love this die!
I did a little ink smooshing watercolor technique for the background in Twisted Citron Distress ink. I added few spatters of Nuvo Glitter Drops to add some glam. I stamped the sentiment from PTI Holiday Wishes (Vol. 1) stamp set and heat embossed with Hero Arts Silver embossing powder.
I offset the panel to Silver card-stock and then mounted to a 5.5 inch square white card base.
