MLC AUG- Sweet Christmas

Welcome to August with Merry Little Christmas! Here is my card for this month using a Sketch from an online stamp night with my Stampin' Up Demonstrator. Loved using an older DSP to layer for a fun card. I added a Gingerbread house to the front for my main element and colored it to coordinate with the paper. 

Added some stick on pearls and some glitter pen over some elements on the house to finish off the card.

I hope you visit all my teammates to see what they created this month and join us on the blog for the challenge, can't wait to see what you create!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Welcome to August and it's time for another SID sketch! Loved that this months sketch is a slim, helped to encourage me to make a slimline card.

Here is my take on the sketch this month... it was for a co-worker who had surgery on her elbow.

July SID

Hello and welcome to my card for Stick It Down's June card sketch! I didn't stick with a total take of the sketch, but instantly thought about an embossing folder for the background! 

With the embossed background I added some coffee rings for some color. Instead of using a sentiment strip I used a panel with a whole image that I colored with Copics. The lid and the sleeve of the cup are stamped, fussy cut and added on top for some fun dimension!

Jun SID- Life's a beach

Hello crafty friends, it's time to share my card for June's Stick It Down Sketch. Here is a look at the sketch incase you haven't seen it yet.

Here is my card, I stayed pretty true to the sketch this time around, just moved my sentiment to the bottom portion of my main image. I just recently acquired an Avery Elle set that has been on my wish list since it was released and wanted to use it for this months card. I searched through my stash for some pattern paper and found an older Lawn Fawn pack that would be perfect. I layered the paper according to the sketch and added my colored die cut beach houses with some foam adhesive.

MLC- May

Welcome to May and our new month of  Merry Little Christmas challenge christmas blog. This month is as always anything goes!

 This month I made for cards using the A and B sides of some pattern paper from the stash. I used the same layout for the card to pick and choose how the paper was going to be adhered down. The top of the card is actually folded back and stuck down with the pattern paper adhered on top. I then just added the sentiment on a die cut piece of white. They could be jazzed up a little more, but I choose to leave them clean and simple. This is a good way to use up some paper stash... if you are like me and have way more pattern paper then you need and keep buying more! ;-)

I hope you visit all my teammates to see what they created this month and join us on the blog for the challenge, can't wait to see what you create!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
