PoppyStamps & Memory Box Blog Hop

Memory Box and PoppyStamps are having a joint blog hop starting today December 2nd and running through December 4th.

You should have arrived here from Mary's blog and if you didn't you may want to start at the beginning of the hop so you don't miss out on a chance to win a prize or two.

The theme of our hop is Holiday Gift Tags or Wrappers!

Here is a look at my completed tag and treat bag for the hop.

 Normally this treat bag would hold a couple of holiday cookies that I share with the neighbors. But I haven't started my baking yet so added some twix candy bars instead.

For my tag I cut out several of the Vintage Happy Holidays and Leaping Deer and glued them together to get a chipboard look to them. I used the Stars stencil to add a little bit of dimension to my tag as well. A sequin added to the nose of the deer and it was done.

Here is a close up of my tag.

Here is the complete list of today's hop participants.

Poppystamps Challenge #3 ~ Sparkle & Shine

I am so excited today since it is the first of the month it is time for a new challenge over on the Poppystamps blog.

Our challenge runs for a full month and this month we want to see Sparkle & Shine on your cards.

Here is my card. Hope it Sparkles and Shines enough for the challenge.

For my card I used the Mod Snowflake Background die and embossed it into my card front. Next I die cut the Blooming Poinsettia and Vintage happy Holidays using some gold glittery foam. The picture doesn't do the glitter justice as this card really is super shiny.

Now head over to the Poppystamps blog and check out what the rest of the design team created for this challenge.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today it really means a lot to me.

Poppystamps Twinery Blog Hop

Welcome to my blog. If you are joining us on the Poppystamps and The Twinery Blog Hop, you should have arrived here at my blog from Melania Deasy's blog.

Here is my card using the Poppystamps die and twine from The Twinery.

I used the Poppystamps Moo Moo Cow die along with some Maraschino Stripe twine from The Twinery. My card was really easy to make. I hand cut a fishtail banner and then die cut the Moo Moo Cow in it. I added the stickers for the sentiment and then wrapped the twine around the top that I added some silver bells to. I then popped it up with some foam tape.

For fun I created a second card for the hop using some Mandarin Stripe twine from The Twinery that I wrapped around a cardstock circle along with the Dianna Border and Mesa Background dies from Poppystamps.

Your next stop on the hop is Denise Hahn's blog.. 

For hopping along with us there are some prizes. The Twinery is offering a Metallic Sampler Pack ($32 retail value). Poppystamps is giving away the Frozen Flakes and Elsa Butterfly Branch dies ($26.50 retail value). For details on how to enter to win, visit The Twinery and Poppystamps.

hello friend ~ STS#23

Time for a new sketch challenge over at Seize the Sketch and this weeks sketch was created by Lee Ann.

Meet sketch #23!

This was a great sketch to work with and my card came together rather quickly once I figured out what to use. That is sometimes a process in itself.

I had the butterfly, oval cut and hello sitting on my desk in my diecut bowl so it was a matter of just picking some papers to match the butterfly.

I used some new to me papers by BasicGrey from the Hghline collection. That hello die cut was originally white, but I did some watercoloring with my Persimmon distress marker and then added some pink color using my watermelon gelato.

Make sure you stop over at the Seize the Sketch blog and check out what the design team created with this sketch.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today it really means a lot to me.
