Merry & Bright -- for Imagine That! Digistamp

It's New Release day at Imagine That! Digistamp, and I'm back with another adorable one!



This card uses Tania's Tree Costume, colored with Copic markers. Isn't she sweet?  I think she's perfect for a Christmas card.  She's bound to bring some Christmas joy to whoever gets this card!

This card also uses digital papers from Imagine That! Digistamp.  They are Merry & Bright digital papers. 




The card base was cut out on my Silhouette Cameo with a cutting file from Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons.  A Spellbinders die was used to cut out the colored Tania's Tree Costume.  The sentiment, also part of Tania's Tree Costume, was cut out with a Hot Off the Press die.  The rhinestones are from my stash. 

There are more new releases today at Imagine That! Digistamp.  Visit the blog throughout the day to see them all.  You won't be disappointed!  Then, check out the Imagine That! Digistamp Facebook group for even more inspiration. 

Pa-Rum-Pum-Pa-Pum -- for Imagine That! Digistamp

It's New Release Day at Imagine That! Digistamp and I'm super excited! There are some wonderful Christmas releases today, and the design team has outdone themselves with fantastic inspiration to share with you!

I have 2 posts for Imagine That! Digistamp today.  This first one is to share with you the wonderful new release, Little Drummer Boy:


I colored the Little Drummer Boy with Copic markers.  The designer papers on this card and the sentiment are also from Imagine That! Digistamp.  They are Christmas Flakes Digital papers.


Spellbinders dies were used to cut  out the papers and Drummer boy shape.  There's a bit of red ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon to "tie" it all together (pun intended).

More new releases coming!  Check the Imagine That! Digistamp blog throughout the day for all the new releases, and the Imagine That! Digistamp Facebook group for even more inspiration! 

Wishing you a Happy Holiday -- MHK Designs New Release, Day 3

It's day 3 of New Releases at MHK Designs.  Make sure you visit the MHK Designs blog to find out how to win today's set - and the whole new release - for yourself! Today's release is very vintage and very Christmas.  It's about beauty and memories, and I love it!

Here's what I created with Wonderful Wreath



I love colored pencils on Kraft.  This wreath was a joy to color up because it was already quite shaded, so it was as if it had "guidelines" for me to color.  Great fun!  I placed one of the sentiments from the Wonderful Wreath set smack dab in the middle of the wreath.  There was empty space there, and it seemed the place for it.  I added some red rhinestones, too, to add a bit more sparkle.

The shaped card base is a file from Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons, cut out on my Silhouette Cameo.  The designer paper is from MHK Designs - Simply Seasonal.  The crinkle ribbon is from 3 Girl JAM.




Come back again tomorrow for day 4 of the New Releases.  You won't be disappointed!

Little Moments Matter a Whole Bunch -- for Path of Positivity

Hello, my crafty friends!  Happy Monday!  It's time for a bit of crafty inspiration on the Path of Positivity Challenge blog where we are 1/2 way through this month's challenge.  The theme this month is "Friendship".  



I made this card using a pre-colored image from one of this month's guest sponsors, Sparkle N Sprinkle.



This is the Country Flowers digital stamp set.  Both the image and the sentiment are part of the kit.  I don't often use pre-colored images, but this one is so well done! Plus, the sentiment is perfect for our Friendship-themed challenge, don't you think?

Papers for this card are from My Mind's Eye 6x6 Everyday Flair paper pad.  The cross stitched oval dies are from Die-namics.  The crinkle ribbon is from 3 Girl JAM.

I hope you join us this month is the Path of Positivity Friendship Challenge.  We have great prizes, and I'd love to see what you make!

Sending Birthday Wishes -- MHK Designs New Release, Day 2

I'm so excited to share MHK Designs day 2 New Release with you!  Those oh-so-tough masculine cards and projects just got easier!  Make sure to visit the MHK Designs blog to see how to win the release (and others) for yourself.

Today's release is called, Various Vehicles.  It has so many great vintage images, it's amazing!  Here's what I created with just one of them:




I love old red trucks, so I printed the vintage truck on red card stock.  Then, I took a piece of gray card stock that was more than twice as long, folded it, glued the truck to it, and fussy cut around it all, leaving a fold by the front bumper of the truck to make it a card.  I used one of the sentiments from the Various Vehicles set and placed it in the bed of the truck.  I used a couple of rhinestones from my stash for the hubcaps.  Done!  Fun!

Set used:

Don't forget to check out what the other designers did with this set. There's lots of great ideas!  Leave a comment on their blogs for a chance to win it!
