Oh my gosh, I can't tell you how excited I am for this issue to finally hit the newsstands!  This issue is actually my first cover so it definitely holds a special place in my heart!  Eek, so excited!  

For the blog hop, we were asked to create a card die cutting something other than cardstock/paper.  I've had this cork for longer than I'd like to admit so I decided it was finally time to put it to use.  

I paired the cork up with the clip and some of the latest Paper Smooches stamps!  :) As it turns out, it's pretty easy to stamp on cork. Fun!

Cameo Spotlight Card

Hi All!

Just popping in super quick to share a card I created for the latest Cameo Spotlight Challenge.  

You can read more about it here. 

It's late, I'm exhausted, here's my card.  

Green: Scarf, Washi Tape.

Orange: Snowman nose.

Red: Snowman hat.

Grey: Background, polaroid. 

I used probably my two most favorite Paper Smooches stamps: Freezy Fellas, Geo-Graphic. 

I cut the super cute 'ho ho ho' polaroid out with my Silhouette Cameo.

Holiday Cheer

Just popping in to share another fun Paper Smooches card. 

 Are you sick of this snowman yet?  You better not be because I've got a few more cards with him coming!  :)  
 

I'm enjoying just playing with my stamps!  It's so relaxing and I'm excited to have a stash for cards to give away.  Fact: I don't make my own Christmas cards to send out in the mail.  I generally order photo cards... but I do give out handmade cards with cookies to the neighbors & friends.  So, that redeems me- right? I could see giving this card with some hot cocoa mix... YUM!

The snowman and his yummy coffee/cocoa are both from Warm Hearts and the sentiment is from Christmas Sampler.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Shopping list:

Paper Smooches: Warm Hearts, Christmas Sampler

Dies: PTI In the Meadow, Pinking Border Die.

Avery Elle 10 Minute Craft Dash

Avery Elle is sponsoring this weeks 10 minute craft dash!  

Super fun!

I'm generally a slow poke but since I just got some new washi tapes in the perfect colors I knew exactly what I wanted to do!  :) 

The speech bubble and sentiment is from Picture It by Avery Elle.  I love this set.  Well, I love all her sets. :)  I also used Avery Elle Ultra Smooth Pure White and Kraft cardstock.  If you haven't tried Avery Elle cardstock, you must!  It's seriously the best I've found.

Be sure to check out what Jamie and the rest of the Avery Elle DT has for you too!
