Good morning crafty friends!

Today I'm featuring a fun set called Mistletoe and Holly from Spellbinders/Fun Stampers Journey.

This set has my favorite critter for Christmas cards...DEER!  (look at my last 2 posts if you don't believe me! Haha! )

I was thrilled to get a critter set this month with deer and holly and mistletoe.  Such a fun, sweet and traditional set!  This scene was created with fussy cutting the pieces and coloring with Copic markers.  I used some distress ink and made a snowy background.  I die cut a frame using my old favorite Hemstitch rectangles set.

New Holiday Cheer Collection - Spellbinders

Good morning friends!

I'm here today with a fresh batch of cards I made this weekend using some new dies from Spellbinders and Sharyn Sowell.

You can view the whole collection HERE .  

I love coloring with my markers, but you don't have to use just stamps for coloring. You can do that with dies as well!

This card uses the Shapeabilities Starry Forest die set.  

I cut all the cute critters and trees out of heavy white card stock, and colored all the pieces with my alcohol markers.  I free hand cut some snow drifts and arranged my little scene.  I finished it off with a simple foiled sentiment using the November Glimmer Hot Foil kit.  (it's a MUST HAVE for the holidays!  

Shapeabilities Starry Forrest Etched Dies Sharyn Sowell Holiday 2019 Collection is a set of five dies. With one set, you can create a sweet holiday woodland scene! Everything is included even the Christmas tree.

Sharyn Sowell Holiday 2019 Collection is full of magical silhouettes of the season. A wonderful addition to your holiday-themed etched dies and hot foil plates collection!

This card is what I call a one cut and done!  I used the beautiful Love Came Down background die.  I layered it over an ink blended piece of cardstock and it was complete!

Thanks for stopping in today to see my cards.  I have linked all my products throughout my post.  Some affiliate links may be used at no cost to you, and help support my blog.

Come back tomorrow for some more fun cards for the season!

Hey there crafty friends!  I recently had a chance to play with some fun new Hot Foil Glimmer products from Spellbinders.

You can see all the new fun items HERE .

This card features three different NEW Hot Foil sets now available from Spellbinders.  I used the Art Deco borders (so fun!) to make an angled stripe on my card.  Then I foiled up the pretty Layered flowers (and the dies are included) and colored with Copics.  I love coloring and foiling together...such a stunning effect!  I added the sentiment using the Thank You Combo foil plates.

So simple, so pretty!

I used two different plates from the new Spellbinders Holiday Cheer Foil plate collection!  These two plates are really workhorses because they are big, bold and look fantastic foiled on anything.

Joyous Bird - FSJ Stamp of the Month kit

Greetings friends!  Today I made my first cards for the upcoming Christmas holiday.  I know it seems like Summer just ended but I need to get a head start on the cards and tags and all the holiday making because it will be here soon!

This month's "Joyous Bird" creates gorgeous floral cards, scrapbook pages, and more.  You can see the stamp set HERE.

The set this month really lends itself to being heat embossed.  Its a beautiful, delicate dove....so elegant and sends the perfect message of Peace and Joy.

For this card I embossed the bird and the branches in gold.  I colored the florals with markers, and then I fussy cut everything out.

Then I took a piece of blue card stock, and ink blended Chipped Sapphire Distress ink.  I used a white pigment ink to stamp the stars and snowflakes.  I assembled the cut out pieces as shown and added a few sequins for some extra sparkle.

My second card used much of the same techniques except I layered some gold card stock as a frame around the edge.  Again, I used my favorite must have Spellbinders Hemstitch rectangles.  (you really need these!)
