{ Document December 2018 }

I am so excited to share my Document December album with you. I created an album that would fit our 4″ x 6″  and 3″ x 4″ journaling tags just by punching holes to create a quick and easy December album. The album is 4.25″ x 7.25″ with two binder rings. I decorated the outside with Document December 2018 Kit  from Elle’s Studio.

I prepped a few pages by using some of my ideas I collected over time. One of them is this little envelope pocket I created to fit 4″ x 6″ tags. These will be scattered throughout the album. I designed the pocket in Silhouette Studio. Let me know if you want me to share the file.

They can be filled with photos, journaling and bits and pieces collected in December. Envelope pockets are made from white cardstock, which leaves lot of room for stamping and adding embellishments from the kit. I want everything in this album to have my own personal touch.

In addition to storing all of my Document December products in an Ikea plastic bin (Antonius), there is room for the album, as well. This will make it easy for me to transport all of the essentials to any room in my house for very easy documenting.  To keep the ideas in my album flowing, I also created a list of daily photo ideas and prompts.
I hope I gave you some ideas to get started on your Document December project!

Supplies | Document December 2018 Kit, 25 Acrylic, Hazel Alphabet Stickers—White, Christmas Shapes and Dots Puffy Stickers, Candy Cane Puffy Alphabet Stickers, Christmas Seals Stamp, Oh What Fun Stamp, Tis The Season paper collection.

{ Impression Obsession DT challenge – Quick Christmas Cards }

Hi and welcome to our  Impression Obsession challenge – Quick Christmas cards.

I need several Christmas thank you cards for some of my friends. I thought I would use my Misti to mass produce several using the same design. This was super easy. I used one ink for the images and then black for the sentiment and a stripe at the top. I added gold washi to all the cards and then added a colored cardstock base.

This would be a great gift for a dear friend or a family member.

{ Gina K. Designs & CardMaker Blog Hop }

Hi and welcome to Gina K. Designs and CardMaker blog hop. Today we are showcasing cards and/or other paper-crafting projects made using Home for the Holidays StampTV Kit.

The Home for the Holidays StampTV Kit is full of stamps, patterned paper, card stock and dies to help you create beautiful card projects throughout the autumn season and beyond!

The color palette includes Red Velvet, Turquoise Sea, Jelly Bean Green, Christmas Pine, Charcoal Brown, Kraft,  along with Ivory accents. 

Here is what I created.

For this first card I used Christmas Magic stamp set (fairy) and Home for the Holidays stamp set (snowflake)

She is colored using my Prismacolor pencils. I used the matching die to cut her out and 3D foam squares for dimension. I just love those snowflakes. They were stamped matching the colors in the patterned paper and die cut. I added sequins to the center of each one.

My second card uses Christmas Greenery stamp set. I used all the little bits to stamp the background and heat emboss using clear embossing powder.

The trees are stamped at the bottom with white ink and heat embossed using white embossing powder. I layered one of the patterned papers with Kraft cardstock and added sequins.

Thanks fo stopping by.

{ Impression Obsession DT challenge – Snowy Wishes }

Hi and welcome to our  Impression Obsession challenge – Snowy Wishes.

Here is my card.

I just love this stamp set with matching dies - Riding Pretty. I have an old card that I made with it, right here on the shelf, and I wanted to use this set for the challenge. The set is perfect for any occasion depending what is in the basket. I used to cut this bike out by hand, but not now.
I die cut the scalloped circle from glitter felt. I stamped Silent Night on a piece of white cardstock. The Fir Trees are die cut from vellum and I added white paint and glitter to the edges so they look like they are full of snow.
The bicycle is colored with Prismacolor pencils and I added a little twine to the tree that is popped up with foam adhesive. I added Hill Landscape Layers under the bike and they are all snow.

{ Impression Obsession Design Team Thursday }

It’s my turn to share a project I created using Impression Obsession stamps and dies. Today I have a little altered and glittery frame and I only used dies.

The frame was hot pink and I painted it white. I die cut two Spring Wreaths from iCraft adhesive from Therm O Web. It’s sticky on both sides. You peel off the top liner and add glitter and peel off the bottom liner to adhere it. I die cut the Reindeer from iCraft Deco Foil white foam adhesive. It has adhesive on both sides, as well. I added gold Deco Foil. The “peace” is die cut from vellum and adhered to the reindeer.
The frame is about 4 x 4 inches.  I added gold Deco Foil to the frame using iCraft Deco Foil liquid adhesive. I just used a make up sponge to add the adhesive to the frame and then added gold Deco Foil. I love how it turned out.

Impression Obsession dies:
Spring Wreath
Peace
Reindeer

That is all from me today. Have a great Thursday!

Hi and welcome to our  Impression Obsession challenge – Season’s Greetings.

Here is my card.

I just love these nontraditional colors for Christmas. I made a similar card not that long ago and I thought I would use the same “recipe”. I am using the Starburst stamp for the first time. Behind it I layered Wood Tag stamped in pink . The small pink stars are Wooden Star Block that I cut out the star only. I have layers of All-in-One Frames – Circles behind the tag that is popped up with 3D foam squares from Therm O Web. A little pin at the top, holding it all together, with twine and some sequins. The sentiment is from Christmas Words stamp set.

{ Card Kit Monday – Tags and Branches – take 3 }

Hello and happy Monday. I have a new card today using the Tags and Branches Card Kit Monday kit. I saw this awesome challenge on Always Plying With Paper and thought I would use the same colors to make a Holiday card.

I made the chevron card background really large, to fit the card front. The banner is cut out from white cardstock. I skipped the heart tag and added the flowers. It’s another freebie I shared a while ago Layered Flowers. I cut the three flower layers from different cardstock and patterned paper. I added some Heidi Swapp color shine and some sequins.

That silver wasn’t showing up that well, so here is one more photo. I love the gold from this pack as, as well. The cardstock is super thick and smooth and my Silhouette Cameo loves it. Its DCWV pack that I got at Michaels, I think. The sentiment is from brand new stamp set from Technique Tuesday called Poinsettia Wishes.

Let me know if you have any questions. If you don’t have this Card Kit Monday – Tags and Branches go HERE and download it. It’s free.

Here is the little photo for The Challenge #50

Have a great day!
