Noel ~ The-Day-Before-Christmas Edwin

Happy Sunday Everyone!
Hope you are all keeping well.

It is chilly out there, brrrr... We've had some freezing temperature
here in Vancouver and had our first snow fall Friday night.
Wasn't much snow but it feels like winter is here already.

Today, I have a new DT card to share with you.
I made a star shape card for The Ribbon Girl's last Magnolia Only
challenge for this year; the theme is an easy one ~ Christmas!

The stamp I used is The-Day-Before-Christmas Edwin.
I have colored the image with Distress Ink pads and dusted
glitters here and there for extra sparkles.

The following embellishments are available at The Ribbon Girl Shop:

9mm white/white spot organza, natural hemp twine, shiny red berry,

Kort and Godt blue rolled rose flower and ivory beaded berries,

brown cone, 3mm aqua bead string, 6mm sticky tape.

Designer paper and Sentiment ~ Magnolia

Dies ~ QuicKutz Nesting Stars, Memory Box, Magnolia, La La Land
(I have used the Magnolia poinsettia dies to make my own
poinsettia flower. You can find my tutorial here.)

You can see all the gorgeous DT creations at The Ribbon Girl Inspiration Blog.
We would love it if you can join in the fun creating and win great
prizes from The Ribbon Girl and Magnolia Sweden.

Izzy's Aussie Christmas ~ LDRS Guest Design

Morning Everyone!

Can't believe the time is just zooming by, we are into mid November already!
I have been busy making Christmas cards the last 2 weeks,
especially the ones that are going overseas.

A while back, I was asked to be one of the guest designers for November
at Little Darlings Rubber Stamps. Angie and Ann Marie, thanks so much for
 this generous offer!  How can I say no, their stamps are super adorable!
Angie has some new gorgeous releases recently, they just make your heart sing.

Today I am showcasing one of my GDT cards using

Izzy's Aussie Christmas by CandiBean.

As usual, I water colored the image with Distress Ink pads.
I added some sparkly fluff on the Santa's hat and Izzy's boot trims.

The card measures about 6" in diameter.

I have used various Maja Design papers from the Vintage Winter,
It's Christmas Time, and A Gift for You collections.

Dies used are from QuikKutz, Go Kreate, Magnolia, and Memory Box.

The following embellishments are available at The Ribbon Girl Shop:

10mm red/cream square check ribbon, pink medium pom pom trim,

5mm ivory s/a pearl, 5mm red s/a crystals.

All you need to do is creating a card with Christmas theme.
