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!

Joyful Elf w/ Conie Fong

 Hello, friends! I’ve been gone for a bit while getting back into the swing of things at the beginning of the school year. But I’m back, and I am so excited to let you all know that I am now a permanent member of the Conie Fong DT, and I am so grateful for this opportunity! Today I’m sharing a fun holiday card with a *NEW* image from the Conie Fong Etsy shop! 

This sweet image is called Little Gift Girl Elf. I chose to make her super bright and cheerful for the upcoming holiday season! I added some patterned papers and ribbon from The Stamps of Life along with some bits of sparkle and die cuts to add to the fun feel.

Because I love this card so much, I chose to turn it into an easel card! This way, the loved one I send it to can display it more easily and remember the joy they bring to my life. I just love how this turned out!

Take a peek at my creation...

I actually went more of a turquoise blue for my card than true blue. I saw this fun snowy patterned paper that I had purchased YEARS ago (probably about 10 or more!), and I just HAD to use it. I also used some glitter paper from my stash, cardstock and letter dies from The Stamps of Life, a glitter enamel dot from Doodlebug Designs, and punches from Stampin' Up!

I think this turned SO fun! What do you think? I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!

I decided to start a *NEW* series on my YouTube channel called "Friday Facebook Finds". This card is the first in that series!

Christmas 24: Sketch

Take a peek at my creation...

I used a cute image from Great Impressions (no longer in business) and colored it in with glittery gel pens from Sakura. I punched it and layered it onto a green scallop punched cardstock piece, then added black liquid pearls. The sentiment was pieces together with a V E R Y old stamp set from my stash. Ink and cardstock are from The Stamps of Life, the patterned paper is from Michaels, and punches are from Stampin' Up! (circles )and EK Success (border).

I adore how these two papers work together, and they really help the other colors POP! SO fun! What do you think? I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!

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!

Hello, friends! I am SO excited to be sharing another card created for the *NEWEST* holiday card challenge, Christmas 24!

Challenges are biweekly on the 1st and 15th of the month, and this time's challenge is a COLOR CHALLENGE: Red, Green & Gold.

I love the way I was able to use the striped pattern in a way that is different. Isn't it cool how it creates square or chevron shapes? I love the non-traditional feel of this card, in general! What do you think? I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!
