Christmas Elf w/ Conie Fong

  Hello, friends! I’m back to share some holiday cheer! In this post, I’m sharing a festive card featuring a darling image from the Conie Fong Etsy shop!

This image is called Candy Cane Boy Elf. You can get him on his own, or in a trio of darling elves! I added this sweetie to a card base created with patterned paper and washi tape, then added a die cut sentiment and some rhinestone stickers for some festive flair.

I also added some Stickles to the image for more texture and shine. I LOVE the way this card turned out!

I'm entering this card into these fantastic challenges~

Christmas 24: Sketch Challenge

I wanted to use some fun shapes for this card, and the poinsettia dies from Spellbinders were the perfect fit! I also used some glitter paper from my stash, cardstock from The Stamps of Life, gold pearls from Close to My Heart, a sentiment from Great Impressions, and punches from Stampin' Up!

Christmas 24: Snowflakes!

Hello, friends! I am SO excited to be sharing another card created for  Christmas 24! If you follow along, you will have 24 cards made before the Christmas holiday each year! Challenges are biweekly on the 1st and 15th of the month, and this time's challenge is SNOWFLAKES!

I decided to start a *NEW* series on my YouTube channel called "Friday Facebook Finds". This card is the first in that series! I found this darling Mama Elephant stamp set AND ITS MATCHING DIES for only $3!!! How insane is that?! I also used some fun paper and cardstock from The Stamps of Life, washi tape from Doodlebug Designs, punches from Stampin' Up!, and liquid pearls and pearl accents from my stash.

I think this turned out totally cute! What do you think? I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below! If you'd like to see the process I went through to make this card, check out this video on my YouTube channel!

I decided to use the Holiday Deer and Santa's Sleigh digital stamp sets from MHKDesigns for my creation for the hop. Take a peek...

I started by creating a digital panel with some soon to be released digital paper and the image from the Holiday Deer digital stamp set. I colored the image with colored pencils and then added some Stickles and Liquid Pearls to accent the image.

I matted the panel in black, then added some twine, a button, and a sentiment from the Santa's Sleigh digital stamp set, framed in silver glitter paper for added texture.  I love the way this turned out! I can't wait to hear your thoughts in the comments below! :)

MHKDesigns: Season's Greetings

Hello, friends!  Welcome to the June 2017 Release for the MHKDesigns Etsy Shop!  I have 5 fabulous  new sets to share this month and they cover MANY occasions!  I just know you will LOVE all the creations that my team and I have to share, as well!  Today's set is called...

Season's Greetings

And here is my card set~

When I go to make Christmas cards, I usually go overboard and then find it difficult to mail them! Too many embellishments. So, I decided to keep these cards SUPER CAS and see what the result would be. I know it's not too clear from the photo, but the only embellishment on these is some Stickles in Diamond Dust in strategic areas all over each image. 

I think the final product is the perfect mail-able, and still festive, holiday card! What do you think?! I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below! :)

And now, let's talk about how to get this new set OR the entire release for FREE!  Here's what you'll need to do...
