We Three Kings (multiples of 3) Challenge at Jingle Belles


The current challenge at Jingle Belles is to have three of a kind on your card; three trees, three stockings, etc.  Just like their previous challenge, my card came together in about 30 minutes...I hope this bodes well for the remainder of 2018; I can stare at supplies for hours and not have anything come together.  This was easy-peasy.

I used an MFT Die-namics to cut the three circles and edge from both the holly paper and white foam and adhered them together.  I cut the base layers from coordinating 6x6 papers, and then placed the flair buttons in the circles.  Done.  I think I may be using this die quite often in the future :)

Happy Saturday!

Supplies:
die:  MFT Die-namics "Stitched Triple Peek-a-Boo Window and Edge"
paper:  Pebbles "Home For Christmas" 6x6
adhesive flair buttons:  Echo Park "Christmas Cheer" by Lori Whitlock

Simon Says Stamp Patterned Paper challenge

The current Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge is "Use Patterned Paper."  They are showcasing Doodlebug products, and you know I love me some Doodlebug!  My die cut hearts are Doodlebug "Sweet Cakes" papers and the glittery chevron is Doodlebug Sugar Coated card stock.

My die is "Heart Parade" by Simon Says Stamp and my sentiment is an SRM sticker.  The black card stock is also by Simon Says Stamp.

These papers and die make my heart happy.  Thank you for stopping by :)

Look What Santa Brought Me Challenge at Jingle Belles and SSS



The My Favorite Things Die-namics "Winter Wreath" has been on my wish list for months, but it never came back in stock at MFTstamps.com...fortunately Santa found it at amazon.com.  I die cut it four times from Ponderosa Pine linen card stock (XPEDX).  It cuts beautifully even without the precision plate! 

My card practically designed itself; I knew I wanted to use my new wreath die for this first Jingle Belles challenge of 2018 and for the "Something New" Wednesday challenge at Simon Says Stamp, and I created this card from start to finish in about 30 minutes.

The sentiment is a die by Avery Elle and I cut it and the MFT Winter Wreath bow from gold glitter sticker paper.  My "berries" are adhesive sequins by Jillibean Soup.  I cut my two base layers using MFT Die-namics Blueprints 20; the base layer is red linen (XPEDX) and I embossed the white card stock layer with Tim Holtz "Bricked."

Happy 2018!
