Warm Cocoa

Happy Saturday, peeps! I've got another Christmas card for you and it just happens to fulfill the Jingle Belles' Christmas Feast challenge!  I recently got this fun Christmas Cookies embossing folder and just had to pair it up with a mug of hot cocoa!  Here we go:

I embossed a piece of Crumb Cake with the folder, then sponged on some white craft ink to look like icing!  The little mug from the retired Scentsational Season was perfect stamped in Real Red, and I added some "steam", heat embossed on vellum (CTMH):

The sentiment is from TPC called Sweet Christmas, and I don't remember where the inside sentiment came from, sorry!

Thanks for popping in today! It's chili cook-off tonight, so I will be in the kitchen for the rest of the day!  Enjoy it and be blessed!

Happy Wednesday, everyone!  I needed a little Christmas card for a secret sister, and when I saw the sketch at Hand Stamped Sentiments, as well as the Curtain Call challenge, I decided to pair them up!

I had some of this older SU paper on my desk from another project, so I just used some bits of it along with a couple of cute candy and gingerbread images from TPC’s Sweet Christmas:

I embossed the gingerbread man with white craft ink and white embossing powder, and the candy is colored with markers and embellished with a Jelly Roll pen….it’s really fun and sparkly in real life, it’s a shame you can’t see it here!

The sentiment is from Lil’Inkers, and I combined some red and silver baker’s twine along with a couple of embossing folders to finish it off!  It’s as sweet as my secret sister is….she is a real sweetheart!

Grampy (also know as Mr Gadget in our household) was getting frustrated as he watched Cassidy “open” our mail by ripping apart the envelopes, so (only as a man can do) he showed her how to use a butter knife as an letter opener:

Success!  Now I just have to watch that she doesn’t try to do this on her own!

Enjoy your day!

Merry Monday 106 Gingerbread People

 

Hey, peeps, it’s Monday!  Did you have a good weekend?  Although the pollen count was crazy, I made it through!!   And now it’s time for another Merry Monday, and Katie has a sweet-as-can-be challenge for us:

I just happened to get a new set of  Christmas stamps last week, and it just happened to have gingerbread people in it!!!  So here ya go:

I stamped my people on Baked Brown Sugar cardstock in white craft ink, then heat embossed them with white embossing powder.  I gave them a bit more color and shading with some reinkers and aquapainters, then mounted them on a snowflake-embossed oval:

I added the banner and a few buttons, then stamped the inside with this sweet sentiment:

Papers are from Simple Stories’ Handmade Holiday!  I am also entering this in the Christmas Card Challenges 22 – Anything Goes- and the Jingle Belles challenge, All Bundled Up – to use at least three layers!  Hope you’ll play along with us too and share your sweet creation at the Merry Monday blog!

Moon Bounce!
