Christmas Stampin' All Year Long

Happy Monday Everyone!! It's a Gorjuss Christmas!!
I hope you had a good weekend. Today's challenge over at Maria's Christmas Stampin' All Year Long blog is Debbie's Sketch challenge. She gave us a sketch and also added embossed card stock to the top of the card. I would post a picture of the sketch but Blogger doesn't seem to want to post pictures at the moment. I can't get my pictures to upload into this post. UGHHHHH!!!

I made my card using Bazzill embossed cardstock for the red piece and the card base. I used DCWV patterned paper for the bottom. I used this adorable Sugar Nellie Gorjuss Girl and colored her with my copics. You can buy your Sugar Nellies and your Gorjuss Girls at Funky Kits. I cut her out with my nesties and popped her up on pop dots. I also gave her a little present to sit next to her!! I put a cute little pearl at her neck and a cute heart in her hair. She's ready for Santa to come!! I stamped my sentiment using a Sugar Nellie stamp and put stickles and pretty hearts on it as well. I used a white gel pen to put some dots on the scallops and stickles around my Gorjuss Girl too. I used some pretty glittered brads on either side and that's it. I'm not completely satisfied with it, but it turned out pretty cute, I think. I'm not sure if it's the card that's bothering me or the pictures.

(here's the out of focus shot to show my embossed cs.)

I hope you like my card. Be sure to visit the Christmas Stampin' All Year Long blog to see what the other challenge divas have created. I also have them listed on my sidebar. It's time to get started on those cards!! We'd love for you to play along, just leave a comment and a link to your creation on the Christmas Stampin' All Year Long blog or if you upload to SCS or PCP, use the keyword CSAYL. Thank you for stopping by my blog today. Be sure to come by tomorrow to see what I have to show you.

A Little Sugar for Flutterby Wednesday!!

Happy Flutterby Wednesday Everyone!!

I hope your week is going well. I'm so excited, it's my week to host the challenge and I just had to choose one of my favorite color combos as the challenge!! So this week, we are using pink and brown on our projects along with our fairies or butterflies!! This will be fun!! Dig in your stash and pull out that pink and brown and make something fabulous to show everyone!

My card this week was so much fun to make!! I used this adorable Sugar Nellie stamp (there is a butterfly, he's just small) and some Doodlebug paper. I colored my image in with my Copics and added a few highlights with my white gel pen. I used my Flower Soft on the flowers under the mailbox. I love that stuff!! It is so pretty and gives a nice 3D effect to your image. I cut her out with my nesties, popped her up on pop dots and added Bazzill flowers and Prima roses for a pretty look. I punched a lace border with my Martha Stewart punch and tied on some pink ribbon. See, plenty of pink and brown to go around!! I hope you like it.

Be sure to visit Danni's blog and link your project (not your blog) to Mr. Linky. We want to see what you make for the challenge. Be sure the check out my Flutterby Sistahs to see what they made this week. Their links are on my sidebar. Don't be shy, link that project and show us what you got!! I hope you'll come back tomorrow and see what I have to show you. I love reading your sweet comments. They mean so much! If you are following my blog I appreciate you so much and value you more than you know.

Flutterby Wednesday

Happy Wednesday to you!! I hope your week is going well. I'm glad you stopped by because it's Flutterby Wednesday!! It is also a no challenge FBW so we were free to create anyway we like!!

This week our guest designer is the super talented Lynn Put from The Queen's Scene . Welcome Lynn!! I also have exciting news to share!! This is the first week you can use fairies or butterflies for our challenges!! Yay!! Our featured team member this week is also a super talented lady, Cassie!!

I chose to use the SCS sketch from last week, SC222. I love this sketch because it is simple and let's your image take center stage. It was perfect for this adorable Sugar Nellie stamp, Maggie with Flowers. How cute is she? I added a couple of butterflies from Penny Black and Our Craft Lounge so she would qualify for the challenge.

I used Imaginesce paper and Bazzill cardstock. I cut the patterned paper and machine stitched it to the card front. I stamped Maggie onto white cardstock with Memento ink. I colored her with my copics and popped her off the card with pop dots. I used a white Inkssentials gel pen for highlights. I added Dew Drops in the four corners for a little something extra. You can find the white gel pen and some great Copic bundles at Susana's Custom Art and Card Design along with a huge selection of other stamping supplies.

We would love for you to play along with us. If you upload to PCP or SCS be sure to use FBW in your keyword box so we can find your lovely creation.

Thanks for stopping by my blog. Be sure that you stop by the other Flutterby girls' blogs and look at their creations for the week. You can find their links on my sidebar.

Today I used a beautiful Elisabeth Bell Sugar Nellie stamp called Raflective. These stamps are so beautiful. I got my butterfly from another Sugar Nellie stamp. I colored her with my Copics and today I combined Flutterby Wednesday and Madelynn's Twinkling Tuesday sketch challenge MTT12 for my card. Two challenges with one card!! Gotta love that!! I hope you enjoy it as much as i enjoyed making it.

I like the Madelynn's Twinkling Tuesday sketch because it gives a simpler layout that let's your image take center stage.

I used beautiful Daisy Bucket patterned paper and some Lil' Davis flowers that I've had in my stash for a while. I stamped the sentiment onto green cardstock and popped it up with pop dots for dimension.

Just A Quick Card

I wanted to share a quick card that I made a few days ago. I love everything snowmen so this stamp was just too cute. I cut the circle with my nesties and used pop dots to pop the snowman and the circle but the picture doesn't really show that detail very well. I also used my marker to dye the flower to match the darker ink. I hope you enjoy it and are staying warm and safe this Christmas night. Thanks for looking. See you soon.
