Peace, Love, & Sparkly Stuff!

Hi there! I'm here today with a quick card I created for the Card Concept "Krafty Christmas" challenge. I loved the inspiration piece and knew immediately what I wanted to do!

I pulled out the Triple Chevies, North Pole Wishes and North Pole Wishes dies and Tinsel 'n Trim and set out to make this super quick card

To make the sparkley chevies, I cut out three sets of the chevron and used the largest and middle size chevies for the card. The middle sized chevron was run through my Xyron sticker maker and then I shaked some gold glitter on the sticky side. I clued the sparkley cheron on top of the white chevron and then glued them down on the kraft card base. I stamped the sentiment from Tinsel 'n Trim and then cut out a couple holly leaves and berries using the North Pole Wishes dies and the stamped them with the coordinating North Pole Wishes stamps. The loopy border at the bottom is from Tinsel 'n Trim.

As for the style I used to create this card, I'd say I used the Clean and Graphic style. I have some very defined design elements but a bit too much glitter and little die pieces to be considered Clean and Simple!

That's all I have today, hope you have a fantastic Thanksgiving week!! Thanks for stopping by today!

Verve Stamps November Spotlight Hops: Day 3

Hi there! Welcome back, we have more new goodies to share with you today!

The Verve Divas and special guests are back for another day of spotlighting the new holiday release! And the wait is almost over... everything previewed this week will be available in the Verve online store tomorrow (Thursday, 11/20). So come hop along with us and see our first looks at today's featured products!

Today's spotlight is shining on the Weary World set and Psalm 119:105 Plain Jane illustrated by Julee Tilman, as well as the coordinating Starry Stable Die Set.

Here's my card using Weary World and the Starry Stable die set 

On a 3x3 inch square of Tim Holtz watercolor paper, I sponged a few blue Distress Inks to create the night sky. Next, using the Starry Stable dies, I cut out the stable and the smallest star. I colored the images with my Tombow markers and then adhered the small star into the big one at the top of the stable. I attached this piece to the 3x3 sponged background with dimensionals and created some snow fall and the snow drifts with white dimensional effects. 

I have a few piece of this polka dot vellum from Michaels that I've had forEVER and decided to finally use some! It looks a bit like snow to me, so I thought it worked! I finished the card off with a couple stamped sentiments and the silver cord.

Verve Stamps November Spotlight Hops: Day 2

Hi there, lovelies!! Welcome back to Day 2 of our Verve Stamps November Release sneak peeks!!

 The Verve Divas and special guests are back for another day of spotlighting the new holiday release! Everything previewed this week will be available in the Verve online store on Thursday, 11/20. So come hop along with us and see what's new at Verve!

Today's spotlight is shining on the Pinecone Christmas set illustrated by Chaitali Narla and the coordinating Poinsettia Pinecones Die Set.

I created this fun card using papers from a few different collections, and don't know what they are cause they're all scraps, haha! Sorry! More than likely it's MMM or Simple Stories! I stamped the largest poinsettia image and clear embossed it on the green striped panel. I stamped a sentiment on a piece of cardstock in brown ink, and then attached a poinsettia I cut out of a piece of book paper using the new Poinsettia Pinecones dies. We have new sequins this month too, the Holiday Sequin Mix. If you have any Verve sequins, you know these are sparkley beyond all imagining! So gorgeous! I took three red sequins and glued them to the center of the poinsettia. 

The "holiday favorites" piece you see is just a pice of the patterned paper I cut out:)

25 Days of Christmas Tags

Hey there! Tracey McNeely is hosting her 25 Days of Christmas Tags event again on her blog this year for the 4th year! Tracey has invited the Confetti Crew members to join in as her guests! We were asked to make a Christmas Tag using some awesome Reverse

Confetti products.

We just had an AMAZING stamp release at Reverse Confetti so you may recognize some of the new goodies on my tag/bag! The red tag base was created with the Tag Me Too die. The white tag is the largest in the Tag Me dies. I took the largest snowflake from Let it Snow and cut a snowflake out of the middle of the white tag. Then I cut another, smaller, snowflake out of silver foil cardstock and nested it in the negative of the larger snowflake. The flag that "Merry" is stamped on is also from Tag Me. The smaller silver tag peeking out from behind the white tag is the smallest tag from Tag Me. The sentiments are from Bring on the Merry from last Christmas. I cut a few garlands from silver foil cardstock using the new Circle Garland confetti cuts.

There are so many fabulous prizes to be won, just head over to Tracey's blog, In My Creative Opinion, to find out how you can have a chance to win! Also make sure that you also leave a comment here for an extra chance to win, thanks for stopping by!!
