Snow Globe Fun

Hello Friends!  Today I have a few ideas to share with you.  I used the Cottage Cutz Snow Globe and  Snowglobe, Winter accessories die.  This is such a fun die with so many possibilities.  I have 2 globes assembled and ready to put on a card.  While looking at the globe it reminded me of an ornament, so I used a Cottage Impressions stamp, Cardinal with Holly Stamp.  I also used the branch and ornament hook from the Winter Bird With Ornament die.


I hope you feel inspired to look at your dies and the many ways they can be used.  Thanks so much for having a look.

Hugs and Smiles,
Janice

Peachy Keen Challenge 65

Hello friends!  Time for another Tuesday sketch challenge with a twist.
THE CHALLENGE

TWIST: Paper Piece your stamped image to give it a bit of dimension and flair!
Guidelines:
Design must be new
Link up by 11/28 - 11:59 pm CDT

I always try to think outside the box when I look at a sketch.  When I saw the stripes on the sketch I thought of candy cane stripes.  So from there I think, what stamps do I have that would work well with candy canes?  Of course PK-412 Too Sweet to Eat is perfect.  So I am thinking I will use some red and white strips of Christmas patterned paper for the background.  While browsing AC Moore, I saw some painted ivy bowls.  So I thought, wouldn't it be cute to paint the vase with red and white stripes and fill it with candy canes.  So that is what I did.  A fun holiday decoration and the jar was only 59 cents.  The vase is the circle with the painted stripes for the background.  The tag with the stamped ginger is the focal point..  I stamped the peppermint candies and colored them with copics.  I used a circle punch to punch the candies.  The clothes for the ginger boy were paper pieced.  I hope you will be inspired to think outside the box.  Please check out what the other designers have made here.  I look forward to seeing how you interpret the PKS sketch.  Have fun!

Winter is Coming Already

Hello friends!  I've just returned from a really fun gathering with my Crafty friends from the Peachy Keen Design Team and Lorie and Angelica that are also on this team.  Lots of great memories that I will cherish forever!  For today's card I used the newly released die Snowman in Mug available for pre-order for next shipment.  I am loving the new Christmas release.  I cut the die cuts from white cardstock.  I wanted to use a Peachy Keen face so I traced and cut the snowman from a piece of shimmering white cardstock so it wouldn't have the details in the face.  I then used Copics to color the images and mounted it on Stampin Up designer paper and cardstock.  The ribbon is also Stampin Up.  Expect to see more winter designs shortly.


Hugs and smiles,
Janice

So Thank-fall Blog Hop


Welcome to the "So Thank-Fall" Getting Cricky Blog Hop!!


We're so happy you could join us for this month's Getting Cricky Design Team Blog Hop!!  Each of us, along with our Special Guest - Letillia from Diva of 5, are so pleased to have you here with us!!  Along the way, you'll see NEW ideas for creating cards and projects with Kristal's stamps sets!!

If you've hopped along from Amy's blog then you are in the right place!! If you are just joining me from your dashboard, or reading this via email, please be sure to CLICK HERE to start at the beginning with Kristal's blog (you'll want to catch up on all the FUN!!)...

Each of Kristal's stamp sets benefit charity. At least $1 per stamp set goes to benefit the charity noted on the stamp set package. Kristal is donating to the following charities: Cancer Angels, Storefront Shelter for Homeless Children, Intrepid & Fallen Heroes, E. Glaser Pediatric AIDS  Foundation, Doorways Shelter for Women & Children (Domestic Violence), Wayside House for Women, Camp Good Days & Special Times, Adopt a Classroom, and Autism Research Institute. Kristal will donate $1 for every stamp set sold, retail or wholesale to the charity noted; and over time believes this will add up to some wonderful miracles for these special people. So you can feel good that each time you purchase a K Andrew Designs art stamp set, someone around the country is receiving some good help!


K Andrew's stamps are all made and assembled here in the USA, which is very important to Kristal. This ensures all product materials are safe and that jobs are being provided and maintained here in America.  You can learn even more about Kristal's stamps (and pick some up for yourself) by visiting her online store: K Andrew Designs:

Here are 2 cards I made using the sets Owly-hoo, Pirate Party, and Pirate Tales and Fish Scales.
