Why not pink?!
Zig Watercolors were used to add color to the POINSETTIA JAR.
I adore the font with SENDING LOVE. I'm thinking how easy it would be to mask off, "this Christmas" and use just, "Sending Love" for everyday!


While the Zigs were out...I colored the SNOWBIRD IN BRANCH from Tara Caldwell.

HOP LIST!
Hooray! We have one more day of the Hop.

Be back tomorrow for DAY 4!

Halloween with Lindsay Ostrom is always fun and never scary!
Her crazy bats, BEN and BART are hanging out in the die cut TREE FRAME! These bats were fussy cut and curved with a ball stylus. Silicone was used to help their rounded bodies stay plump!
A little bit of an eerie sky for the BATS ABOUT YOU to be stamped on.

DAY 2 HOP LIST!
Thanks for looking
See you back tomorrow for DAY 3!

The NEW PINE BRANCH is simple, elegant, beautiful!
First I stamped the BRANCH in black onto Neenah Solar white 110 paper. It was then colored with Copics.
 The Season's Greeting from the CHRISTMAS WORDS cling set was stamped in red. 
Next, this layer was embossed.
After constructing the card, I went back over the image and highlighted it with Bobunny Glitter Paste. 
So, so easy!

 Todays Hop List!
Enjoy the hop...hope to see you back tomorrow for day 2!

O CHRISTMAS TREE!

Something Fun for the Holidays...
Take A Bough!

Isn't this a great die set?
Recently, Impressive Ideas starting carrying Concord & 9th.
We are loving all their great stamps and dies.


The tree is one of the many designs you can make with Take A Bough. The ornaments and star are also included in the set. Check out their blog to see just how many different ways it can use it. 
The construction of the tree is easy and there are endless ways it could be decorated!
I went for the classic traditional look and trimmed it with tiny silk bows and gold mirror ornaments.
The elegant PEACE die is from Impression Obsession.
The gold trim along the sides is from Little B.

If you are near the Atlanta area, come by  IMPRESSIVE IDEAS and see all the new holiday items.
And of course, the wonderful everyday selection, classes and samples to help get you inspired!

Have a great weekend!

Simple square card!
I needed a quick card this week and what could be easier than stamping a saying!
I have paired up TRUE NORTH along with some stamps from Dina's GRUNGE MAP cling set. I love the repetition of the stamped compass.


The sweet sentiment inside fits nicely with words of encouragement on the front.

Thanks for looking!

SSCB#58 FABRIC


Add Fabric! 

Want to play along for a chance to win a $20 Serendipity Stamps Gift Certificate?
For the month of August, Serendipity's challenge is to add fabric to your design. Lace, ribbon, embellishments, swatches...it all works!
You can find all the details HERE on the SSCB.

Let's see what the DT came up with!
Karen Amidon...you are here!

Boo! 
I have been designing holiday cards recently and enjoying getting a jump start on things!
I know that it's a little early and not everyone plays with Halloween but, you gotta smile when you see these guys! 
I used black felt on the front panel for my fabric. The GHOSTIES were stamped and fussy cut twice.

When the card is open, you can see the entire GHOSTIES stamp.
I have added the TRICK OR TREAT bag to the design. It has been stamped a second time masking the words. The handles were made with twine along with the garland on the fence.
The BOO die cut is shadowed with a second die cut done in black.


Seeing it all stretched out!
The bats in the center panel are die cut in craft foam from the CREEPY WREATH.
STAMP OF THE MONTH 
50% OFF

LAMB WITH HEART

Thanks for looking and don't forget the next Blog Hop will be
