Christmas coffee


This was a new embossing folder/die cut to me last year kind of after the holiday season and I did not get a lot of time to use it so this year I have tried to figure out different ways to use it and found out that I could make gift tags out of the skeleton piece (the actual coffee cup) that’s left over and they have turned out really cute. For this one I used craft card paper and went over The embossed portion with a pearlized White ink. I put a merry Christmas paper behind it and used a scallop punch for the center of the card use the same pearlized White ink for my Christmas wishes. Using diecuts and figuring out what to do with the leftover skeleton pieces is a new technique that I have challenged myself with.

Peace on earth




 This is a new die cut to me and I layered it on a silver crystal paper and then I am bossed in crystal powder so it’s kind of difficult to read I had to get a goofy angle on it to even get the picture to show.
I really enjoy diecuts. Sometimes I struggle how to piece them together and I have a whole bushel pack full, and sometimes I forget to get them out and actually use them! But they are one of my favorite holiday utensils/ techniques to use.

Stampers bag


The image is by stampers delight I fussy cut her out I colored her with pencils, and placed her on a pink bag I like using washy tape especially in big open spaces like on bags. Also the string of beards. This sentiment makes a perfect Christmas vacation card for someone who just wants to lounge around and get warm, or for someone who may be home sick with a nasty bug. The bag can be used basically for any occasion.

H m I 💗 snowmen


The image is house mouse, colored with pencils. I have used an oval die cut around the image.
I started on white card stock and layered on a snowflake patterned paper and my sentiment is done in black and I used a little bit of blue ink around the edges and drew it in. I really have decided I like using glitter glue this season and so I have use that on the snowman to make it sparkle.
