We have a fabulous new sponsor, Uniko Studio, for the Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge:  Sweet Snowflakes challenge!

The LEAD of this challenge will receive a gift certificate to use at Uniko Studio!

You won't want to miss what the special guests and crew have whipped up using Uniko Studio's Stunning Snowflakes stamp set!



I used the set, Stunning Snowflakes, to make this CAS card.  I stamped the backside of the snowflakes in Simon Says Sea Glass and Fresh Ink Melon.  I wanted the snowflakes to look like the cookies in the inspiration photo.  Then I stamped the snowflakes in WPlus9 white ink.  I colored them in with Star Dust Stickles and then added in the sentiment on a banner.

God is our refuge...

One thing I love about this hobby is that we make things to hopefully make a bright spot in someones day.  In a world where things are going wrong all around us, where bad things happen, where people are mean, where people get sick...I know that a card with a positive message, can brighten a day.

The sentiment on this card is one of my new favorites.  God is our refuge and strength through these scary times.  My heart is going out today, to all the kids in that Colorado school today.  I am saddened for them and I can't quit thinking about it.  I can't imagine if it were my kids.  I pray over my kids every day and I am so lucky to know that we do have God taking care of us, no matter the situation.

I stamped the sentiment in Versamark and then heat embossed with white powder on gray card stock. Then I added in some colorful strips of paper and a bow.  The little enamel dots were an afterthought and I covered them, and the center of the bow with glitter.  Now that I sit here looking at it, not sure if I love those enamel dots...but we are going to go with it today.  lol

I said it already, but I do love this sentiment (link below).  It is one in a new set from Simon Says, called Blessed.  And in such a gorgeous font....

Let every heart...

Have you seen this amazing new Plain Jane from Verve?

I LOVE the font and the saying.  Such a perfect sentiment for cards this time of year.  I stamped in in Delicata Gold Ink and then attached it to the card with some foam tape.  I added in a little Cameo cut holly.  The background is distress ink and the Diagonal Striped stencil from Simon Says.

Hope you like!  So glad you could stop in today!  Have a great day!

Merry and Bright...

Just wanted to stop in with a CAS, maybe not totally quick, but simple...Christmas card.

IMG_0707

I found this Silhouette cut in the store.  (link below) They had a huge 50% off sale of all of their cuts so I had to stock up, right?  This one is one of my favorites.  I cut the image out on white Neenah card stock and then colored them each with Copics.  I glued them all down with liquid glue so its nice and flat.  The sentiment is from Simon Says Merry Trees.

This card is now on its way to one of my sweet blogging friends.  It's nice and flat so it mails easy, too!

Hope you all have a great Monday.  Thanks for stopping in!
