Back Again With a New Card for the Jingle Belles.

I don't know when I've had so much mojo to make cards, I think it was the sketch that did it. I love the Sketch and it uses tags.  Again I used blue and white for my card, this time a little deeper blue. The image I used has been stamped and coloured  (don't spread it around) for over two years.  Finally I get a chance to use it.  I'm not sure what I was making but I stamped and coloured a whole lot and I didn't need it. I have a small box of small images that are ready to use, a lot of die cuts as well.

A super cute house mouse in an ornament and he works perfect for the circle tag dies, again I used the leaf/stem flourish for the tag hanger. Although you can't see it well I embossed the white layer wth an ornament embossing folder added the border die (though it looked like ornaments) an a strip of lace. The sentiment is from Tim Holtz Holiday sentiments.

Finished the nside with a strip of blue and a bit of lace and another sentiment from Stampendous.  You can never have too many Christmas sentiments.

Oh Christmas Sketch, Oh Christmas Sketch

I'm earlier than usual playing along with the Jingle Belles Rock Challenge,  It is a fabulous sketch I love it because I can use one or more of my 12 tag dies, I seemed to accumulate a few but they won't go to waste since I LOVE this sketch.  First up is a super cute penguin I have had on my table since last year (well moved 3 of them from spot to spot) It was coloured and the background was also a scrap of oxide background. So here is my rendition of the sketch.

I haven't been in the red/green mode lately for Christmas cards and since this is Winter  I needed to go with the blues. The snowflake strip is from Elizableth craft designs and the let it snow from Tim Holtz holiday words. The swirl I used is part of a leaf swirl I've had for years and two of the swirls minus the leaves made a perfect hanger for my tag. The penguin was cut in white and coloured with alcohol markers the eyes and beak are scraps of cardstock. 

Finished the inside with a scrap of patterned paper and a Stampendous sentiment.

White on White Christmas ~~ With a Touch of Gold and Sparkle

Back again with a card for the Jingle Belles Challenge Rustic Glam Christmas.  I decided even though I left all the parts for a similar card at home I really wanted to make it for the challenge. One of my favourite JB challenges is the one where I can made white on white cards and I wasn't going to miss making two. 

I layered the three trees, one gold one shimmer white and the top one glittery white. The frame and background is shimmer white and the embossing folder I used was from Stampin'up the name eludes me at the moment. Two trees and the frame are popped up.

Close up of the elevation of the trees.

Finished the inside with a gold embossed sentiment.
