Decided to create with Sugar Rush Paper Pack using the ice cream cone design papers as one of the panels and coordinated it with our Ice Cream Dream stamp set.  From another design paper fussy-cut one of the circles and layered them all with Pomegranate cardstock. Stamped the dog and ice cream dish, colored using ShinHan and Copic alcohol base pens, cut with Brother's Scan/Cut, adhered with 3D foam tape to panels and added liquid glass to parts of the images.  

  

The design of the card was created using the MoJo Monday Sketch Challenge #480 and Between the Folds #38A "Love Theme".

The inside of the card was stamped and masked with a couple of the ice cream treat stamps and the sentiment "You Are My Happy".  Click on photos below to enlarge to see the detail of the liquid glass on the stamped images.

A LOT OF NEW STUFF: Just received my order with this new Paper Pack "Hello Lovely" and used a variety of the design papers to create my project, leaving the inside of the card blank for a birthday sentiment or any occasion.  Instead of hearts I decided to use a floral bouquet with a sentiment which was also in my order The coloring was done with a Water Pen using the CTMH ink colors used in the paper pack. And, love the new Gold Glitter Gems, they look so nice with these design papers.

The Magic of Winter - H2H Cold Days Warm Heart

For the month of January this week's Heart2Heart Challenge is "Cold Days, Warm Heart." 

Please join this week's challenge AND you have all month to create to be eligible for recognition as a Top 10 for January Challenges. For other inspirations please hop on by to see all the DT members and participant creations. 

Looking back when we lived in the Southtowns or Snow Belt of Buffalo, New York many times we watched from our windows the snowflakes falling from the sky...though the weather was cold it was a warm fuzzy feeling inside...the magic of Winter. 

Experimented with a couple of different embossing folders and techniques for coloring, but chose this as my final.  My other experiments won't go unused...just a head start for my 2017 Christmas Card stash.  

Dry embossed the background, sponged on Glacier (sounds cold) ink, heat embossed with clear embossing powder and layered on Glacier cardstock.  The sentiment focal point was a die cut from Cricut Design Space, using variety of cardstock...Glacier for the frame, White Daisy for the snowflakes, and a white glitter paper for the Sentiment.  After assembled added Wink of Stella to the frame and snowflakes.     

One of my favorite stamps were used for the inside of the card and stamped with Glacier Ink.

Smiles Begin with You - AHSC #194

My card this week as Design Team Member for Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #194. Join this challenge...you have until Sunday, January 15th to enter your project.

The design team reveal for this sketch will be on Wednesdays, so be sure to stop by to see the beautiful cards from the rest of the design team and other entrant inspirations for this challenge...and every Monday for new sketches. 

My first intent was to create another Christmas Card...you'd think I would tire of them...but just thinking about my stash and how nice it was when I completed and sent out timely this past Christmas.  

Since we don't see a lot of snow out here in Arizona, my thoughts went to the upcoming spring... however, that may be pushing it.

When looking through my stamps I wanted my focal point to be the sentiment and decided on this one and stamped on design paper.  As far as the design paper I really wanted to use one of the new packets but my order had not come in yet as of yesterday and couldn't wait to see if it came in today.  So again started going through my stash of design papers and decided on Charlotte.  Trying many zip strips from Charlotte, the banner at the bottom of my card was found in this packet but is the design paper from La Vie En Rose...perfect for my card.  

The flowers and leaves of the floral bouquet were stamped on several design papers, fussy-cut, curled the edges and attached with 3D Thin Foam Tape.  Same stamp set was used for the corner florals on the inside of the card.

Merry Christmas - H2H Season of White

Honored to be a new Design Team Member for Heart2Heart. This week's Challenge for the month of January is "Season of White." Please join us weekly for inspirational challenges ... AND you have all month to create and be eligible for recognition of the Top 10.  Hop on by to see all the DT members and participants creations.  

I have been a participant of Heart2Heart for a couple of years and each month awarded the badge of "Addict"  One of the many reasons I enjoyed participating ... the variety of Heart2Heart challenges of inspiration, themes, sketches, colors and more.  

However, now as a DT Member I was finding it difficult to choose my interpretation for this week's "Season of White" challenge ... in fact I had three cards under construction and finally decided my interpretation was to use a favorite retired Paper Pack "White Pines" and make my 2nd Christmas card for my 2017 stash.  

This was a fairly easy card to put together with a little layering and didn't really need any embellishments because the design papers are so pretty.  Finished with a die-cut sentiment.
