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~

Check out the cards I made for this first time around...

These cards use 1 stamp set each (left is Technique Tuesday, right is Inspired By Stamping--no longer available), 2 colors of ink (from The Stamps of Life), and 3 washi tapes (from my stash)!

Hi, all! Happy JUNE! How has your summer started? I hope you are all well and staying safe! This month, we have another of our twice a year rainbow challenges for you! This month's challenge is called Pastel Rainbow! Take a peek at our fun inspiration for this month...

SO much inspiration there, don't you agree? I LOVE it! I really wanted to make the soft colors I used to POP here and there, so I went for a LOT of white with hints of pastel rainbow! Here's what I came up with...

I created this card with a bunch of washi's from my stash, a new Darice embossing folder, a die cut sentiment from Spellbinders, and papers from The Stamps of Life. I added some hints of color to the embossed panel with Sakura gel pens.

I totally love how this card turned out! I got to use some of my washi stash, and I love the way the embossing looks on the white card with hints of color! What do you think? I would love to hear your opinion about it in the comments below!

Christmas 24: Christmas Trees

Hello, friends! I am SO excited to be sharing another card created for the *NEWEST* holiday card challenge, 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 CHRISTMAS TREES. Make sure your card has at least one on it!  Take a peek at my creation...

I layered about 10 punched trees on top of each other, then added a star and washi tape (cut in half, lengthwise) from Fun Stampers Journey to create my Christmas tree. All papers and embellishments are from Fun Stampers Journey, but the punch is from Stampin' Up!. Thank you, LeAnn, for letting me raid your stash! It was such a fun day! :)

I adore how these two papers work together, and they just happen to be one sheet of double sided patterned paper!!! SO perfect! What do you think? I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!

Hi, all! Happy March! I am very much looking forward to SPRING! How about you??? We decided to use a spring color for our inspiration thi month at The Rainbow Card Challenge. This month's challenge is called Especially Emerald!

SO much inspiration there, don't you agree? I LOVE it! I was very inspired by the striped tights in the challenge photo. Here's what I came up with...

I used patterned paper and cardstock from The Stamps of Life, washi from Doodlebug Design and my stash, a die cut from Simon Says Stamp, and a smattering of sequins from a garage sale of yesteryear. I love the way these patterns work together!

I totally love how this card turned out! I got to use my washi tape stash and other items that needed to be used. Yep, I buy things and sometimes take forever to use them! Anyone else?! What do you think? I would love to hear your opinion about it in the comments below!
