Merry Monday Jingle Bells

Hello there!  Hope you are having a great evening!  

I made this card this afternoon for the Merry Monday Christmas Challenge this week to use bells.  This set is called Jingle Bells and is from Our Daily Bread designs.   I colored with copics.  I used several ODBD dies: Rectangles, Double Stitched Rectangles, and Stitched Ovals.  The designer paper is from the ODBD Christmas 2014 Paper Collection.  I added stickles to the image for sparkle and a tiny gold bow to complete the card!

Merry Monday Guest Appearance!

***If you are here for my ODBD February Mid Month Release Blog post, it is HERE!***

Good morning!  Such an exciting day!!! 

Because I was the challenge winner last week, 

this week I am the guest designer at the Merry Monday Christmas Challenge Blog!!!

Woohoo!

Thank you Bonnie and the Merry Monday team for letting me guest with y'all this week!

So the challenge this week, Merry Monday Christmas Challenge # 192,
is to create a Christmas card with berries on it.

 
I decided to use this cute little set by Paper Sweeties that I purchased recently at the Heirloom Festival.  Such a cute set of stamps and dies and I had fun with them!  I made a frame for my little scene with Spellbinders A2 dies.  I tore white card stock to create the snow and added stickles for sparkle.  The berries and the string of Christmas lights have a coat of Diamond Glaze too.

Glory to God

Back again today with a card I made for the 

Merry Monday challenge this week to do the Chalkboard Technique.  

I have never actually done the chalkboard technique!  

Can you believe it?   And I really like how this turned out!

I used this great stamp from ODBD called In The Highest.  I stamped it in white ink onto black card stock and then heat embossed it in white.  I trimmed around the image and distressed the edges.  I used white ink to lightly sponge around the image to mimic chalk.  I also used white ink on the edges of the bottom black layer and on the ODBD Small Bow die cut.  The red panel is cut and embossed with ODBD Double Stitched Rectangles. I added a red button to the bow to complete the card.

Here are links to the ODBD products I used today:

Enjoy your evening!

Merry Monday Santa-A Day Late!

Hello!  

I have two cards for the Merry Monday Challenge#190 this week, 

to create a card with a Santa theme.

This Santa image is from Jolly Old St Nick by StampinUp!  

I colored him with copics to match the designer paper and added stickles for a little sparkle.  

Here is my second card:

Editing to add:  I tried to link up both cards to the Merry Monday Christmas Challenge but was unsuccessful.  I also wanted to mention that the tag on my second card was made for the SCSCCFEB16 challenge this month but since I rarely use tags at Christmas I used it as the focal point.  Here is a pic of the card and tag together before making the second card:

Merry Monday Challenge-One Layer Card

 Hey there! 

 I made this card for this week's  

Merry Monday Christmas Challenge 189-Create a One Layer Christmas Card.  

One layer cards are one of THE hardest cards for me to do!  Probably because I never have paper substantial enough (in my opinion) to not appear flimsy when I am done!  Y'all know me!  I am a layer kinda girl!  LOL!  But since I am determined to actually meet my quota of Christmas cards this year, I decided to try this challenge.  I did remember getting some very sturdy card stock last year, so I searched the world over and finally found it hiding in my stash of paper! This card stock is very thick but it is great for copics and it is very sturdy paper.  The only problem I had was folding it in half.  I ended up sanding it a little to smooth the paper breaks.  Anyway, I like the finished result and I did make a second card just like this!  Woohoo!  Two more down!

This stamp set, Worship the Lord, is one of my all time favorite sets from Our Daily Bread designs!  I framed it by embossing around the image with an ODBD Rectangle die.  I colored with copics and then added stickles to give sparkle to the snowy/icy areas!

I am also entering this to:

Warm Wishes

 

Last week I learned of the Merry Monday Christmas Challenge Blog!  And guess what?  I got Honorable Mention for my card last week!  Woohoo!!  Thanks Merry Monday!!!  So, I am playing again.  This time the challenge is to use a warm beverage.  This cute image (Warm My Heart)  is from North Coast Creations (an ODBD sister company) and is stamped onto Kraft paper  and ODBD Christmas (2014 and 2015) paper and then paper pieced.  The Double Stitched Rectangle dies are from ODBD also.

Thanks for stopping by!  

I have more cards to share later! I've been busy, busy!

My First Merry Monday Christmas Challenge!

Hi there!  I am playing in a 'new to me' challenge at the Merry Monday Christmas Challenge Blog!  This week the challenge is to use plaid.  I can't remember who makes this paper but I have used both sides of the same sheet on this card.  The card stock is cream.  The image is James Snowman from LOTV and is colored with copic markers.  The sentiment is from SU!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  See you again tomorrow!
