More Christmas Rose

I've rediscovered an old stamp that I love -- the Diagonal Stripe background stamp!  I deeply enjoy the diagonal edge around the edge of a card.  It's a nice way to give a little edge to an otherwise romantic design.

I popped out some elements from this rose image. The central portion of the rose is popped up on Dimensionals, as are the three pinecones.  For a little shine, I cut out the bud design from the Christmas Layers dies from pink Glimmer paper and added them around the image.

Happy Tuesday!

Now this is something a whole lot different from my usual style.  Yes, I have a secret, and it's a guilty love of Crafty Secrets stamps!  I love the retro look of the images and all the detail.  

Most of the paper used is DSP from Memory Box and the clip art is from Creative Scraps.  The moon and the little witch are from Crafty Secrets Costume Cuties, the banner from Artsy Banner -- all three are watercolored.  the tickets and the sentiment are from Creative Scraps.

Making a masculine card is always a little difficult.  This set, Golden Afternoon, from the 2019 Occasions mini catalog is a very good choice for something guy-ish.  The large and small tree images are suitable and the sentiments are either gender neutral or spiritual.

Snow Globe Roses

This was made using the new Christmastime Is Here DSP that will be available on November 1st.  It's so pretty, and would be great to use throughout the year!  I'm still totally captivated with the Snow Globe Scenes domes and making shaker cards -- so, yet another one.

Sno-Pig!

Don't ask me why, because I don't know...

I had the little carrot noses from the Let It Snow embellishment kit and the This Little Piggy stamp set on my desk. Somehow the carrot ended up on the pig's snout, and that was that -- Sno-Pig was born.

There's so much on this card, I don't think that I can even explain.  Just one of those projects that seems like it's too cute to stop working on, but hard to get it to come right.  All the DSP changed three times, Sno-Pig got three different hats, the ribbon was a disaster, whole thing is contrived -- but Sno-Pig still has some charm, I think!

Christmastime Is Here product suite

I made this card by watercoloring the larger of the rose images on white, then fussy cutting it out.  I used the middle-size label of the Stitched Seasons framelits to cut out a piece from Whisper White, which I then ran through the Big Shot in the Square Lattice embossing folder.  I pieced together two label cuts in Night of Navy to create a layer behind the central image.  The filigree top and bottom were cut from gold foil paper using the Rose dies.  Gold glitter enamel dots anchor the corners.
