Snippet card

 

Dry embossed panel I cut my snippet from:

I got this darling set from a friend of mine for no reason.  I have seen a

lot of darling cards made with it, and I just had to make her a thank 

you card with it.  I had a scrap (snippet) of an inked dry 

embossed panel that I did not like but thought would make a

good die cut chair.

JDS-Candy Cane

 It's a new month so new images at Jan's Digital Stamp store

and a new challenge.

 

My card is made with Candy Cane. I cut this image out on my

Scan n Cut and colored with Copic markers.  Used a newish

die cut, patterned paper to match my kraft card stock, a few

gems and a sticker Merry Christmas to finish off. 

I hope you will join in the challenge and check out the cards my

talented teammates have made.

A few fun challenges:

 

Gnome Birthday Wishes

 

 

This card is for a good friend that I met online and have 

been lucky enough to meet up with a a Stamping 

Convention.  Gnome and front sentiment are from

Technique Junkies, die cuts by Lawn Fawn and Stampin Up, 

papers from Stampin Up, and inside sentiment by IO. 

I added Wink of Stella to the hat, and added Sakura gel pen

 and white gel pen accents to the patterned paper.   I added

 a wobble element to the gnome for fun.

Snippet card

 

 Snippets:

I got a new die from Simon Says stamp, Circle of Leaves, and can see

so many ways to use it. I had to play with it right away but am just now

posting the cards I made.  I went to my container of backgrounds

for these cards.

JDS-Free Merry Christmas and Candy Cane

 It's mid month at the monthly challenge at Jan's Digi Stamps.

 

 I thought this free Merry Christmas would be perfect for a

shaker card.  I added the Holly from Mrs. Teddy Bear.  I cut 5 layers 

of my  frame versus using foam tape-I think this gives a nicer

 look even  though it is more time consuming.  Sequins 

from my stash.

Pumpkin Pie

It's a new month so time for new releases and a new monthly

challenge at Jan's Digi Stamps.

I had so much fun making this card.  I used the new set

Pumpkin Pie, ( part of the Fall sale) papers by Stampin Up.  

This was the easiest fun  fold I have ever made. I cut two colored 

panels 4 1/4 by 5 1/2 inches.  White card stock is 4 by 11 1/2 inches 

and scored at2" and 6 1/2 ", fold and set closed on the back panel,  

glue the back panel then fold and put glue on the smallest panel, 

keeping it closed and set the front panel on top to line up with

the back panel.  Design your card either vertical or horizontal.

That's it-so easy!

JDS-Santa's Holiday

Mid month for Jan's Digi Stamps:

 

 

Santa's Holiday was so fun to create with.  I ink blended

a beach, an ocean and sky, stenciled clouds on the

sky.   I colored Santa and added glossy accents

to his drink and some glitter to his cap and sleeve trim

before fussy cutting and added him to the beach. I

added a sentiment from this set and now I am wishing

I was in that chair!

JDS-Christmas 1926

 Time for new releases and a Christmas sale at Jan's Digi Stamps.

Christmas in July-time to start on those Christmas cards, Jan

has a Christmas sale for this month.

 

My card is made with the new set: Christmas 1926.  I printed my wreath

twice, colored one and put it on top of the other for dimension.  I added

red to the berries with a gel pen, and added Glossy Accents to the ribbon.

Shiny papers are DCVW Mercury glass from Michaels. Then I went on to create 

my window card.

Clear out time

 Whenever I tidy my craft room I try to find things to use up to decrease the

clutter as I don't want to part with any stamps, stencils etc.  I found a stack of

black and white floral card stock that I wanted to use up and a set of

envelopes with a scallop edge.  I made 14 cards and used a lot of snippets.

Here are 3 of them:

Snippets for card 1:
