Tuesday Morning Sketches - TMS 536

Hello, everyone!  Happy 2020!  Tuesday Morning Sketches is kicking off the new year by revisiting some of our favourite sketches from 2019!  This week's sketch was chosen by Andrea, and it's TMS 408 designed by Debbie.  I enjoyed playing with this sketch and I hope you will too!  For my card, I decided to rotate the sketch clockwise.

This gorgeous snowy scene is A Crofter's Winter from Delicious Doodles.  I've had this digital image for many years and have used it a couple times before, but I recently rediscovered it in my digital stash.  I can see the warmth coming out of the chimmey and inviting you into the cozy cabin by the fireplace, all toasty and warm on this cold winter's day!  I printed the image in grey and added Stampin' Up Dazzling Diamonds glitter on parts of the scene.  The photo below shows the sparkle a bit better.

For the sentiment, I used my brand-new stamp and die set from Simon Says Stamp called Christmas Word Mix 1.  I heat-embossed the sentiment in silver (The Artful Stamper) and die-cut with the coordinating die.  Behind the sentiment circle I added some silver eyelash trim.  The background panel is embossed with Darice Snowflake Background (a well-used old favourite), and I added some lacy ribbon from my Dollarama stash.

Here's my new stamp and die set:

Skatin' by to say Hi

Hello, everybody!  Happy New Year!  Before I share my card, I would like to welcome a new follower - Lynne Everett - thank you for joining me!  If you could please leave a comment with a link to your blog, then I can hop over and follow you too!

Yesterday I started playing along in the Holiday Critters Chaos Challenge over at Bugaboo Stamps - Catch the Bug Challenge Blog, and today I was able to make one more card!  I was inspired by Holiday Chaos Day 6 - Colour Combo.

This adorable image is Bugaboo Stamps - Little Penguin Skate.  I did some colouring and doodling with black and white markers, and added a little pink to his cheek.  I fussy-cut the image so I could pop him up on foam tape. To make the background, I cut strips of coloured cardstock, adhered them to a black panel, and then embossed with Darice Snowflake Background. The sentiment is a clear stamp and I cut it into a banner shape.  Here's the colour inspiration graphic:

Gingerbread Happy Holidays

I'm back!  Yes, it's me again!  I'm trying to get my cards posted by the end of today, so I may be back with more if I have time.

On this card, I've used my all-time favourite set of Beccy's Place called Gingerbread! This little guy was a leftover from my cardmaking spree in November.  He is the precoloured version and was fussy-cut so I could pop him up on foam tape. I added Nuvo Crystal Drops Simply White for the icing on his head and extremities and added Nuvo Jewel Drops Rosewater on his eyes and buttons. I also added a tiny die-cut bowtie (Your Next Stamp). The background paper and Joyeux sentiment are from Gecko Galz.  The Happy Holidays sentiment and landscape border were unused leftovers from other cards.

Set of 4 Tags - Warm Winter Wishes

Hi, everyone!  I'm back again!  This time I'm sharing a set of tags!  I'm playing along in the Holiday Critters Chaos Challenge over at Bugaboo Stamps - Catch the Bug Challenge Blog!   I was inspired by Holiday Chaos Day 3 - Anything but a Card with Holiday Critter and Glitter.

The image is Snowflake Reindeer Silhouette from Bugaboo Stamps, and I printed it in four different colours and fussy-cut.  I die-cut four white tags, stamped a sentiment (MFT Stamps) in a coordinating ink colour, and embossed with Die'sire Embossalicious Let it Snow.  I added a thin strip of glitter cardstock, a punched snowflake in the same glitter cardstock, and ribbon in coordinating colours.

May Your Days be Merry and Bright

Hi, everybody!  I'm playing along in the Holiday Critters Chaos Challenge over at Bugaboo Stamps - Catch the Bug Challenge Blog!   I was inspired by Holiday Chaos Day 4 - Tick Tac Toe - Pick Three In a Row, and I went with Glitter, Free, and Kraft.

This adorable image is Christmas Hedgie from Bugaboo Stamps, and I went with the precoloured version and fussy-cut so I could pop him up on foam tape.  I added Stardust Stickles glitter on his hat pompom and trim.  I stamped two rubber stamps for the sentiment.  The kraft cardstock is embossed with Darice Snowflake Background.  I adhered two strips of washi tape (one is red glitter) and some gold holly leaves with three red gems.

My card design was inspired by Bugaboo Stamps - Stella Says Sketch Challenge 721:

Elf and Rudolph

Hello, everyone!  I saw the fun Holiday Critters Chaos Challenge over at Bugaboo Stamps - Catch the Bug Challenge Blog and wanted to play along!  I don't know if I'll be able to play in all seven challenges but I'll see what I can do!  This card was inspired by Holiday Chaos Day 1 - Create a Project using a Holiday Critter and Snow.

This adorable image is Elf Brat and Rudolph from Bugaboo Stamps.  I went with the precoloured image and printed it on white glitter cardstock to fit an A2 size card.  I created a punny sentiment with my Dymo Label Maker and popped it up on foam tape.  I added Glossy Accents to the ornaments, bells, belt buckle, and Rudolph's nose.  Below is another photo below so you can see the sparkle of the cardstock, as well as the Glossy Accents.

All Snippets / Leftovers

Hi, everybody!  Today I'm sharing a card I made using all snippets/leftovers!  Most of the items on my card were in my pile of unused leftovers from the cards I made in November/ December.  However, the cute stamped reindeer faux postage arrived in the mail!  It was adhered on the outside of an envelope which contained a card from a blog friend (thank you, Bunny!).  I recognized it as a stamp from Simon Says Stamp, and I quickly cut it from the envelope so I could re-use it!  The poinsettia circle postage stamp was on the same envelope!   Everything else was in my pile of leftovers, and it felt great to use these items!
