Gingerbread Bakery

Hello to all!  I'm going to make an attempt to get all my Christmas projects posted and clean out my photo file.  Today's offering is a trio of cards made using Papertrey Ink's Gingerbread Bakery set.

I thought the chalkboard style stamp in this set makes the perfect menu board for all these yummy treats.

 

I bought this set last year and hadn't inked it up until this season of Christmas card making.  I added a tree from their Christmas Tree Farm set and the coffee cup is from my stash.  An older die from Impression Obsession.

 

The woodgrain background gives these cards a natural farmhouse look.

 

 

I had an extra chalkboard sign left over, so I added it to a snowflake embossed background and added some yummy desserts.

 

 

All sugared up!  The Plum Pudding is from Elizabeth Craft Designs and the pie is from Spellbinders.  These yummy desserts make my mouth water for something sweet. 

 

I'll be entering one of these cards into the following challenges:

Word Art Wednesday ~ Anything Goes

Krafty Chicks Challenge ~ All Occasion

Farm Fresh Mason Jar Card ~ Double D Challenges

Good morning, friends~ It's the first Wednesday of the month so that means it's time for a new challenge over at Double D Challenges.  The theme is "Baa-Cluck-Moo-Neigh-Oink-Quack", or in my case.... "Cock-A-Doodle-Doo!"

I was stumped on what I was going to do for this challenge, as I don't have many farm animal stamps or dies, but I did find this Rooster from Papertrey Ink, that had been sitting in my NBUS pile.  

The card base was made using Honey Bee Stamps Mason Jar Card.  I love the generous size of this die.  It allows plenty of room for this handsome rooster.

The flowers are from Spellbinders Garden Shutters Collection, "Daisy Delight" and the "Picket Fence" is from Amy Design.

Here's a list of products I used to make today's card:

Spellbinders Small Die of the Month ~ October

Good morning y'all!  Spellbinders is bringing you all the feels for a farmhouse Fall and Christmas this month with the Small Die of the Month Club kit. 

I fell instantly in love with this months Small Die of the Month.  Not only is this truck die as cute as can be but it comes complete with pumpkins for fall, a Christmas tree and a layered gift box for any occasion, which I didn't use so you'll have to keep watching for that post!  

Look at those Cinderella pumpkins...  Aren't they the best!  I used the Mini Slimline Envelope & Nested Card Creator to create the card base and coordinating envelope.  The sentiment is cut using this month's Large Die of the Month, which you'll see more of if you come back this Friday.

I had to make a Christmas card using the Christmas tree die from the set.  The Christmas garland is also from the Large Die of the Month.  I used another one of the sentiment dies from the LDOM on this card as well.

Spellbinders Invitation ~ Christmas Traditions~ Through The Woods

Is it too early to say that Christmas is around the corner?  Let the Christmas Traditions release from Spellbinders help you get a jump start on your holiday card making needs.  

Today's featured set is called Through The Woods and it's as sweet as it is nostalgic.

Nest all 12 thin metal dies to create a fun layered Christmas tree scene in an ornament arrangement. I used the Forevergreen Embossing Folder in the background and added papers from the Winter Wishes 6x6 paper pack.  The flowers are from the September Small Die of the Month.  

Use the scene dies themselves for a great focal accent.  For this card, I cut a piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock using the largest Nestabilities Deckled Rectangle and added some DOX ink to the inside edges, while it was still in the die.  

I stamped the sentiment using Christmas Time Sentiments, and built the scene using the detailed dies from Through The Woods.  I added more flowers from the September Small Die of the Month.  This is a great way to extend the use of your dies.

The Christmas Traditions Collection is timeless in style.  It's a beautiful collection that you must check out!  

Here's a list of supplies you can find at Spellbinders:

Mellow Yellow ~ TSOC

Good morning y'all!  Vickie is hosting this week's new challenge over at The Sisterhood of Crafters and her theme is called "Mellow Yellow".  With the Farmhouse style being all the rage right now, I made this card for the challenge:

I started by building the Marianne Designs Ladder and House Plants using soft shades of yellow, green and white.  The background is embossed using Stampin' Up Brick EF.  

I also added a Cottage Cutz Orchid, which I colored using copics and gave the flowers sparkly yellow centers.

Does this meet the requirements for "Mellow Yellow"?

Cards of Encouragement

Good morning friends~  Just popping on to share some cards I made using papers from Mintay by Karola called Bloomville.

I made a set of inspirational cards to give as a gift at a women's retreat.

The printed papers and elements in this paper set are stunning and so cheerful!

The nest, bird and butterfly were fussy cut from a bonus sheet that's included on the back cover of the paper pack.

Paired with a variety of scripture stamps, this set of cards came out beautifully.

Because we all need a little boost of encouragement from time to time.
