Hi friends! It's my turn to post over at Poppystamps. Stop by for a little bit of merry and a fun stencil technique!

Joy

Hi there! I'm popping is for a quick minute tonight to share a card for a couple of challenges. My sweet freind Marcia is looking for pink and aqua over at Color Hues and Jaydee wants Clean and Simple Christmas cards at The Paper Players. One card, two challenges... here we go!

I used the sweet little snowbaby by Impression Obsession as the O in my JOY (TSM) die cut. I colored this little cutie with Copic then die cut her with a MFT stitched circle. Once I decided on placement, I stamped my favorite Hero Arts snowflake in PTI's Aqua Mist ink. 

 

And off we go to the galleries. 

Thanks for taking a look!

Hey there! It's time for a new challenge at Just Us Girls. Sue is our hostess this week and she's looking for JOY on your cards. I used a die cut from my sweet friend Marcia as a jumping off point. Take a look...

Marcia was kind enough to send me a few PTI JOY dies cuts in various colors last year. I thought it was a good fit for the Poppystamps Arched Gothic Cathedral Window... sadly retired, but ever so pretty! I tucked a cranberry version of the word into the corner of the window then proceeded to decorate with MFT images. Vellum was added to the window for softness and everything was popped onto an embossed (SSS) panel.

What does the word JOY say to you? We look forward to finding out when you add your card to our gallery!

Thanks

Happy Friday! It's a beautiful sunny day here in Ohio. The hubs spent the morning at Sweet P's school for a Veteran's Day assembly. It's a small gym, so it was veterans only. That's okay, they need those special times together too! Our girl was chosen as one of the students to read a poem to the veterans. She was very excited to surprise her papa! My morning was spent putting this card together for The Flower Challenge. 

This SB Cosmos panel was already foiled so I grabbed the stencils and got to work! I used warm autumn colors then framed it with this pretty PTI Border Bling die. My favorite Altenew thanks fit perfectly. Easy peasy and I love the way it turned out!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hey there, ready for a new challenge at Just Us Girls? Carol has given us this fun combination for color week. Here's my take on them. You'll noticed I went with a lighter shade of blue. 

 

 

My sweet friend Michele was kind enough to send me a few of her cutie little PB carolers to play with. I colored this one up in our challenge colors then added her to a row of birch trees (ME) sprinkled with snowflakes and joy.

While I was at it, I colored another and surrounded her with snowflakes (WF)! They both have Stickles added to their hats and the pom poms on the jackets. 

We can't wait to find out how you'll use Carol's fun color combination. You will be in our gallery this week, won't you? I sure hope so!
