Burgundy and Green Merry Christmas

I'm still playing with the Chantilly Lace dies and the Sue Wilson Merry Christmas die. This one is Burgundy and Green with pearls for accents.

Still playing with the Spellbinders and Sue Wilson dies.  This one is red metallic and silver metallic papers. 

Spellbinders and Creative Expressions Christmas

 I just received my new Spellbinders Becca's Chantilly Lace dies and decided to play.  I used some gold and white on the bottom one and cream and gold on the top one.  The Merry Christmas die is from Sue Wilson's Creative Expressions.  I added some pearls for accent.

Power Poppy Bouquet in Pinks

I used the beautiful bouquet from Power Poppy and stamped it in memento and colored it with copics. Cheerylynn square used to cut it out and on the green layers as well.  Spellbinders curved borders 2 for the yellow layer and lined it with pearls. Prima flowers and leaves to finish this card.

Power Poppy Sweet Peas

The January digital stamp set from Power Poppy is Sweet Peas, I printed it off on cryogen white and used copics to color it.  The dies are a spellbinders elegant rectangle and the saying is a peel off.  Check out the gorgeous stamps and digital from Power Poppy.

Another Switch up Your Shades for Power Poppy

I'm entering this in the Power Poppy Switch up your shades challenge.  I used the vase of Azaleas stamp for this card and embossed it in detail gold and colored it with Twinkling H2O's. I fussy cut it out and attached it to the Spellbinders circles.  The border is a Sue Wilson border and I edged all the dies in a gold pen.  The flourish is a Cheery Lynn and the flowers are from Michaels and I colored them with a copic marker.  These last two card are thank you cards for my sister's memorial fund. She lost her battle with cancer a couple of weeks ago. 

Something Old, Something New

This is for the challenge on  Our Daily Bread Design.    The image and Wishing die and sentiment is new. The label 26 I used for the image and background is old.  I used a 6" square cuttlebug on navy paper and used gold gilding wax over it for the background. The sentiment is on a Spellbinders flag and I added pine cones and branch in glittered gold.  The papers are lined with a silver pen and colored with copics. Check out the images this month on Our Daily Bread Design and all the beautiful design team cards.    

Another "Embelllish it"

The challenge on Power Poppy is to Embellish your cards. I used the stocking from the Poinsettia set to make this card.  I colored it in copics and edged everything with a Krylon silver pen.  The die cuts are from Becca's spellbinders and Cheery Lynn designs.  I used an Anna Griffin cuttlebug for texture in the background. 

More Christmas cards

I'm working on Christmas cards and these two cards are a mix of different dies from a few companies.  I used a holographic gold peel off around the edge of the card. I know the white die behind the candles is the center of another die but of course now I can't find the die to tell you which one, LOL The candles are memory box glowing candles. The saying and backing are both from Sue Wilson's creative expressions.
The second card is is a Marianne die on the bottom and Sue Wilson lavender border and I used a large scalloped square to cut it out to show the white embossed snowflake background, the Peace on Earth is Sue Wilson.  I just punched a couple of snowflakes from a Martha Stewart punch and added lots of pears to finish the card. 

Power Poppy, Bits and Pieces

Power Poppy Glads

Marcella has created some gorgeous digital stamps this month for Power Poppy.    I usually don't try digital images  because they run or smear when I use my copics to color them.  Well I thought today I would try them with my newer HP printer and Wow it's working. I printed them on cryogen white text weight paper and let them sit for about an hour or so and they are working wonderful.  This digital is the Gladioli image and I fussy cut it out after coloring it.  The die cuts are Spellbinders except for the little butterfly is Cheery Lynn.  I used some peel off borders and corners and saying to finish the 6x6 card.

Bright pink square turned diagonal is Adorning Squares, light pink oval is opulent ovals, by Spellbinders.  Tag is also spellbinders, butterfly is the small exotic butterfly by Cheery Lynn.

This gorgeous Azalea stamp is from the new Power Poppy stamp company.  Marcella designs the most gorgeous flower stamps around and they are a delight to color.  I used some pretty background paper, spellbinders Elegant ovals to cut out the shape and colored the images with copics.  I edged and lightly sponged tumbled glass distress ink around the oval and image. I added some pretty purple ribbon and a peel off gold saying to finish the card.
