Celebrate with Paper Smooches

Hello and Welcome!

I'm getting into fast gear with creating Christmas cards. And it is just not the start of the holidays without a Paper Smooches gnome Santa card.

This card was inspired by  Paper Smooches' November Challenge mood board. I used the colors along with the leaves (substituted snowflakes) and the pink gift pictures. The gifts in this card are from Paper Smooches' Hullabaloo stamps set. The tiny golden stars are from Simon Says Stamps' Stacked Stars die cut.

Jerome the Gnome, from Paper Smooches' Forest Whimsy stamp set, is such a versatile little guy. Color his hat red - Santa. Green - a gnome. And (a big favorite with my guys) brown - a dwarf. And speaking of versatile, Paper Smooches' Celebrate Word Die (which here was cut 3x and coated with Glossy Accents) can be used for so many occasions too!

This card is entered in:

• The November Mood Board Challenge at Paper Smooches

• The "Let It Snow" Monday challenge at Simon Says Stamp

• The "Baby It's Cold Outside" Wednesday challenge at Simon Says Stamp

Enjoy the holidays!

Season's Greetings Tag

Hello and Welcome!

With Christmas just around the corner, it is time to start making some fun cards and tags!

This tag was inspired by Tracey McNeely's Happy Holidays tag from Day 17 of her "25 Days Of Christmas Tags" Challenge. The kids are a stamps by Waffle Flower colored with Zig watercolor markers. The snow border is Hero Arts' Snowflake Edge Fancy Die cut from DCWV white glitter cardstock. I make the background by blending Distress Oxide Inks and splattering it with white paint. The sentiment is by Verve stamped on vellum.
