Wishing Everyone A Very Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas Everyone! It is Christmas Eve and I wish for you all a happy, healthy and safe new year! 

And, of course don't forget there are prizes involved. Make sure you are commenting so that you have a shot at a prize as winners will be chosen from the comments left this week!

So without further ado, here is today's creations...

I really adore how both of these cards came out, and these use stamps from Cheery Christmas and Whit's Weenies. Both of these were created using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and Copics. Well friends, that will finish my GIU week. Time to do some last minute wrapping, So is anyone else still wrapping presents or is it just me????

Let me know and leave me a comment!Thanks so much for hanging with me this week. I have had a blast and will see you all in the new year. And as always, I can't wait to see what you create!

Hugs!

Is It Just Me???

How is it Thursday? Christmas Eve is tomorrow night? And how is it possibly winding down 2021????So, if you have been paying attention, while today is Thursday and should be my GIU Day 4, well yesterday got away from me. So tomorrow I will have two projects for you. And don't forget there are prizes involved. Make sure you are commenting so that you have a shot at a prize as winners will be chosen from the comments left this week!

So without further ado, here is today's creation...

This fabulous last minute card comes together so asily and is made using Cheery Christmas. I have used a bit of heat embossing with clear embossing powder, which, at least I think anyway, gives it a more finished look. So is anyone else still scrambling or is it just me????

Let me know and leave me a comment! I will be back tomorrow, but until then I can't wait to see what you create!

Hugs!

For Winter Solstice...

For my Day 2 as a GIU Girl, today it made sense to me, since it is Winter Solstice, to use this stamp set, which is totally perfect! A Beauty All Its Own is illustrated by Phyllis Harris and is one of my all-time favorite stamp sets and one of my favorite illustrators!

I will be back each day this week with new projects for you, AND there are prizes involved. Make sure you are commenting so that you have a shot at a prize as winners will be chosen from the comments left this week!

So without further ado, here is today's creation...

What do you think of this sweet image that is perfect for today?

I Am So Excited!

Hi Everyone and Happy Monday! I get to be the GIU Girl this week! (GIU is Growing In Unity), and this is really a fun thing for me! And a little bit of trivia for you all, I actually started as a GIU Girl when I first decided to try out for a design team. From there my journey started! 

I will be back each day this week with new projects for you, AND there are prizes involved. More on that as we get through the week, but make sure you are commenting so that you have a shot at a prize as winners will be chosen from the comments left this week!

So without further ado, here is a favorite stamp that I truly adore for Christmas cards. Have a look!

This is called Owl Warmhearted and is jyst such a sweet image and comes with two wonderful sentiments. Oh and a little enabler alert, it is on sale right now! I have colored up this fun image by Angie Blom with Copic markers and used some patterned papers from an older paper pad from The Stamps Of Life called Hope and Joy Collection. 

What do you think of this sweet image and super easy and quick last minute Christmas card?

Let me know and leave me a comment! I will be back tomorrow, but until then I can't wait to see what you create!

Hugs!

More Christmas Card Fun!

Hello Friends! Today I am bringing you a fairly quick and easy holiday card. For this project I am using Bonsai Cardstock and Habanero Cardstock along with Curious Metallic Cardstock in White Silver as well as Classic Crest Solar White Cardstock 110 lb.

 

I am using Classic Crest Solar White Cardstock 110 lb for my card base, which I am cutting to 5 1/2 inches by 8 1/2 inches and then scoring at 4 1/4 inches to create my card base. Next I am cutting my Bonsai Cardstock to 41/8 inches by 5 3/8 inches. Next, I am cutting my Habanero Cardstock down to 4 inches by 5 1/4 inches. I am then adhering these layers sing ScorTape.

I then cut down a panel that was designed as a slimline card panel. It is part of a panel set from Whimsy Stamps and is called SurReally Cool Christmas. I cut this panel down to 4 3/4 inches by 3 5/8 inches. Now when I put that together I felt it still needed a little something. 

I used the Curious Metallic Cardstock in White Silver and cut it to 4 7/8 inches by 3 3/4 inches. And that made a big difference for me. Now I am trying to make sure that I have some cards in Spanish as well as in English as I live in the Southwest and we do have a lot of Spanish speaking friends. I used a die from Penny Black for my sentiment cutting it out of the same Curious Metallic Cardstock in White Silver and I used a few jewels from a Queen and Company Bling set I have to dot my letter Is. I did use ScorTape on the back of my cardstock when I ran it through my die cutting machine so that my sentiment would actually be a sticker. And there you have it. I love how this came out.

I have an affiliate link for CutCaardstock if you would please consider using it. It doesn't cost you anything to use and does help me continue to bring you fun and fabulous projects! Here is the link:

I do hope you have enjoyed this project, and as always I can't wait to see what you create!

Hugs,

Judy
