Santa with Cookies!

It's December 1st and the Christmas season is officially upon us!  I LOVE Christmas!  I couldn't wait to use the digi stamp Mr. Claus.  The background paper is Candy Claus.  I love using fun embellishments and I used plenty on this card.  hehe!  

As you probably know by now that I love my layers and pop-dots and this card is no exception!  The picture below shows how even the layers on the tree flip up a little.

The red frame was cut out with Spellbinders and popped up on pop dots too.  I smeared a little Xmas Red Stickles on top of it to add some pretty shine.

I colored dear Santa with copics and then added a mini bell to his hat and Polar White Flower Soft to all the "fluffy" trip.  I also used it for snow on the ground.  I used Buttercup Liquid Pearls for his buttons.

 The tree is made from Taylored Expression's Trim the Tree die set.  I used White Opal Liquid Pearls and Xmas Red Stickles for ornaments. 

I used beautiful snowflake-looking buttons for both the top of the tree and the center of the bow. 

I hope you will stop by the MTME Blog and see what the other design team members have made for you today.  This week is another review so hop on over to see what the 6 sketches are that you can choose from.

Underwater Wonderment - new MTME digi release

Good morning everyone!  I'm so excited about My Time Made Easy's new digi images called Underwater Wonderment.  They will be in the store a little later this morning... Lauren is working on it as I speak... erm, type!

I made a wiper card using the new images... I think the only image I didn't use is a dolphin and that's because I just didn't have enough room on the card.  All the images are so stinkin' cute!

Here's the front of the card:

 

Now, when you open the card you get a little surprise:

How sneaky is that little seahorse?!  He pops right up because he wants to join in the fun.

This is called a wiper card.  I found the directions on Splitcoast Stampers wiper card tutorial.  Give it a try!  It was a lot of fun.

Every image and paper (except for the base which is SU) is My Time Made Easy's digi paper.  I printed Alexa the mermaid onto the orange paper so I could cut out the parts I needed to paper piece her outfit. 

For my sketch for the front of the card I used Splitcoast Stampers sketch challenge#SC337. 

There are other challenges I am entering:
A Spoonfull of Sugar- Splish Splash
ScrapCreations - anything goes


Thank you for stopping by!  I appreciate each comment - they really help keep me going!

Super Dad - My Hero!

I'm so excited about My Time Made Easy's latest digital stamp release.  I'm in love with the new bear images.  The papa bear doing things with his cubs just melts my heart.  I chose to use Super Dad for my card today.  My husband has sure been a SUPER DAD to our children and he's definitely my HERO. 

I popped up the frame on pop-dots to give it some dimension.  I also used a strip of the floral pattern from Cheerful Chirps digi paper.  I love that I can print up what I want - when I want.  I'm really enjoying using the digi products!

 

Here is MTME's Pretty Pattern sketch... I just turned it onto it's side and used is that way.

Don't forget to stop by the rest of the design team's blogs and see what they've prepared for you today.  The list is on the right side column.  I also hope you will join us in this fun sketch challenge!

My Time Made Easy ~ May 15 release

I'm so excited about My Time Made Easy's release.  Isn't this the sweeties image?  I LOVE butterflies and Amber sure is out to catch some! I used the new digi image Chase Your Dreams.

I used the color scheme from Pretty Palette #8.  I'm a little late to actually enter that challenge but I loved the color scheme so I went with it.  The Pretty Palette #9 is up and just as great!     The paper is also from MTME -  Wistful Wonder and Serenity.

This is the first ribbon rose I've made this way.  I saw the pleated ribbon at the scrapbooking store recently and just had to have it.  It's a little poofy but I'll get the hang of it.

 

I used Martha Stewart punches for the butterflies and of course I used Spellbinders to accentuate the image.  Other challenges: SCS sketch challenge and Papertake Weekly - use punches.  Thank you for stopping by and don't forget to go see the full release.
