Bright and Cheerful Giving, Just For You! TSOT #251

Hello Stamping Friends,

This will be a quick post today as I am doing this over the Christmas holiday.  ;-)  I hope it finds you well and full of joy!

Today's card is based on the sketch and theme at Try Stampin' Or Not On Tuesday.  

The theme this week is "giving"

and the sketch is below.  Isn't it fun and whimsical?  My first thought was of the new Stampin' Up! Occasions catalog beginning on January 3, 2016.  I'm so excited for these products lines to be available to everyone!  I will post supplies at the bottom, so check them out!

Praying you each had a blessed Christmas season

Christmas Wreath For Try Stampin' On Tuesday #249

Hello Stampin' Friends!

Back today with a new Christmas card for the sketch and theme challenge over at Try Stampin' On Tuesday.  

Here is the sketch, and the theme is "the holidays."

I know this is such a busy time for most folks, but if you have just a few minutes to spare, make a holiday card and share it with us at the Try Stampin' On Tuesday challenge blog. You may also share it on our TSOT Facebook Page.   

Happy Stampin and Happy Holidays!

My card:

I stamped the wreath from Wondrous Wreath on Shimmery White cardstock and die cut it with the coordinating die set, Wonderful Wreath Framelits.  I added some Lost Lagoon berries and bow.  The background is from the Season Of Cheer dsp.

A little detail:

The pearls were my "go to" bling on this soft wreath and the Soft Sky seam binding ribbon, which is now retired.

Non-Traditional Christmas for TSOT #247

Hello Stamping Friends!

Here today with the latest sketch, theme and color challenge over at Try Stampin-Or Not-On Tuesday, courtesy of designer, Kaylin.

The challenge is to highlight ornaments in non-traditional colors with this sketch, so I took this challenge full on!   

(I had to dig in my paper stash to find this paper from a number of years ago!  Glad I held onto it.)

Happy Stamping,

My Card:

 I love how this card turned out.  It's really my stamping aesthetic.  Quick and easy!

A little detail:

 A simple coordination of color panels that highlight the variety of colors in this Basic Grey paper, with the true meaning of Christmas elevated... Joy!

A little touch of linen thread for a natural accent is what I wanted for this distressed paper.  

Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.  ;-)
