Merry Monday #26-{Christmas Deer}

Welcome to another week at Merry Monday!  The idea behind this challenge is to get a head start on your Christmas cards!  Each week, I create a sketch and I choose one Merry Monday Winner who will then be a Guest Designer for a future challenge!  So get out your Christmas supplies and let's get to work!

For my card, I mixed old with new...using the Holiday Lineup stamp set and the new "Sweet Essentials" sentiment set. The deer are coloured with Copics and I used a small snowflake at the top for my shape. I have to say, this is not my most favourite card I have ever created but it took me 20 minutes and that included the time to photograph it. Lately I have been creating cards in record time, mostly because I have no time! I can't wait to get some real time in my craft space! The design team has created some wonderful samples to inspire you and welcome to Cindy, our Guest Designer this week!

Friday Mashup #25- "Sketch it Square and Manly"

This week at the Friday Mashup, Kasey has an awesome challenge all lined up for you!  It is a terrific sketch with a manly twist!

 

So here is the "Mashup" Challenge :

1. Make a project using the "Square Sketch above ".
2. Or Make a Project that has a "Masculine" theme.
3. Or "Mash it Up" and create a "Square Project using the Sketch, with a Masculine theme".

I decided to ink up an old Christmas Favourite, inspired by my friend Tasha...she loves the Holiday Lineup stamp set and this is what I created....

I love colouring and so I spent some quality time on my card, colouring each piece of clothing! I also used the new "Dazzling Details" glitter glue from the Holiday Mini...I added little pieces of glitter to the pompoms on the elves hats!  So much fun!!!  I also added some of the new "mini bells" to my snowflakes, and the card now jingles....hehehe...love it!!!

We hope that you will join the Friday Mashup Challenge this week!  Please be sure to visit the other DT Members to see their wonderful creations!

Paper Players Challenge #20-A Sketch from ME!

This week at the Paper Players we have a new sketch for you to try, created by me!  Yippee! I love the "Holiday Line-Up" stamp set and recently purchased it.  This set is so adorable and offers some great colouring ooportunities.  But if you are like me and crazy busy all the time, sometimes colouring is not always an option.

So for my card this week I decided to feature a technique called Spotlighting.  I found the technique on the wonderful stamping site called Splitcoast Stampers.  Just click HERE to see how to spotlight an image and give it a try yourself!

Supplies Used:
Stamps: Holiday Line-Up, Bright Christmas (Holiday Mini)
Paper: Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Naturals White
Ink: Early Espresso, Real Red Marker, Crumb Cake Marker
Tools: 1 1/4" Circle Punch, 1 3/8" Circle Punch, 1 1/4" Real Red Grosgrain Ribbon

Please visit the blogs of my wonderful design team to see what they created using the sketch!
