Nordic Christmas!

Hi! Later today, the new Nordic Christmas line will be available from Crafter's Companion.  This release is simply FANTASTIC! I know it's tough to think of the holidays right now, but this makes it easier.  :)

There are stamp sets and embossing folders being released! I used the Christmas Cheer set for this creation and I colored it in with Spectrum Noir Blendable Colored pencils:

Deer: 090, 094, 088, 053
Hat/Blanket/Shoes: 032, 033, 043
Scarf: 061, 063
Lights: 014, 049, 021, 069, 027

I also die cut the sentiment out using the Die'Sire Essentials Scalloped Rectangles dies and added some color to the background with Broken China Distress ink.  Oh, and some Frosted Lace and Cranberry stickles were added for that finishing touch!

Don't forget to check out the new release later today AND pop back becuase I'll have another creation for you this week from this release!

Thanks for stopping by!

All supplies linked above and available on the Crafter's Companion website unless otherwise noted.

Spotted Sneak Peek

Hi!
Today I've got a little sneak peek for you from The Alley Way Stamps March Release! You can win the entire Spotted set! Head over to the TAWS blog to find out how!

For this card, I was inspired to use Native American colors.  I thought the pinks, blues and tans would work well with the triangles from Spotted! I also love the idea of cutting around the edges of the triangles.  The sentiment is from another set that's coming out in March, but I can't give the details on that one away yet!

Thanks for stopping by and good luck!

I'm entering this card in the Through The Craft Room Door Anything Goes Challenge.

A Little Sneak... Sheena's A Little Bit Festive!

Sneak Peek time! Sheena Douglass has some adorable new stamp sets coming out for Crafter's Companion! They aren't available until June 19, but it will be well worth the wait!

I decided to use the adorable faux hearts, color them in with Spectrum Noirs and then embossed them (using Petite Dots).  I also added some Walnut Stain Distress Ink to make them look more worn and realistic.

And because my husband always complains I don't put anything on the isnide of my cards - I added the sweet sentiment inside along with a button.
