12 Days of Christmas Product Spotlight

It is so easy to create a card when you coordinate products. Today I have used My Mind's Eye 12 Days of Christams designer paper along with the 12 Days of Christmas rhinestones to make this adorable card.

This is the adorable Penny Black stamp, which I stamped with Memento Tuxedo black ink and colored with the copics pictured below:

Welcome to my first Thursday post! Jacilynn & I will be sharing Thursday's each month with you. For this week's post I have gone with our Winter Theme because it's just that time of year.

More stuff...Whimsy Winter Notables 1 with the Elegant Die, Ultra Fine White Flower Soft, Spellbinders Lacey Oval, Memento Tuxedo Black for stamping on Xpress It & Jenni Bowlin Chili Powder for the sentiment.

You Warm My Heart!


Today's card is for One Crazy Stamper and features images from Your Next Stamp which I colored with the Copic markers shown below:
I created the scalloped border with a scalloped edge punch which I did twice, offsetting the scallops slightly to form a rope-like strip which I embellished with varying sized pearls to resemble snowballs!

Designer paper is by Bo Bunny.

Don't forget to share your Christmas/Holiday cards in our monthly challenge!  Get all the details on the prize info and anter your card on this post!

Stay warm!

You're the best! Xpress It Tape Review

I really can't get enough of Mo's images. This one is from Stamping Bella.  And the papers are from My Mind's Eye and I LOVE this color combination.

I wanted to introduce you to Xpress It tape if you haven't already tried it.  I have personally been using Xpress It tape for a few months now and have had great success with it. It was the perfect thing to attach my fence on this card.  I use it to adhere my background papers to my cards.  Here's a picture of what it looks like in case you've never seen it before.  It comes in a roll and seems to last forever. I especially love that I can cut off strips of as much or as little as I want and love that it sticks well.
Thanks for taking a look today and remember we have a "Christmas/Holiday" challenge going on for the month of December.

Tools/Embellishments- Magnolia doohickey die, CC Cutter butterfly, Viva Decor Pens, Copic Markers, Xpress It tape
