Its Hustling at Ninabrook!!!


Good Morning Everyone!

I hope you are enjoying this fast approaching Holiday Season!!

I am back this month and my Ninabrook package was filled with gorgeous stuff from Fancy Pants!
This time, I will be playing with the Holiday Hustle Papers and Embellishments,
 a wonderful collections of Holiday and Black and White themes.

For my first card I layered a bunch of the gorgeous patterned papers together and then added a little banner which the bottoms are a part of the FP embellishments. And did you see the cute little bow button! (That's FP too!)


Next I used a Spellbinders die to create a Poinsettia and put it on some of the
Merry Holly Days paper.  
Did you know that Ninabrook has a bunch of awesome Spellbinders dies?
Seeing that Christmas is coming, I always need tags.... so I made one using one of the great tags from the FP ephemera. I also layered a button by putting a Gumdrops from Your Next Stamp on it!
(Ninabrook sells these!)
 Lastly, I created a cute little treat box for you! This gorgeous FP paper was perfect for the base and I used another one of the tags from the FP collection.

Merry Christmas Coffee!

And for my final card of the Hop....
I used a Paper Pad by American Crafts called Hot Cocoa! This paper pad is
one of my favourites because it has all coffee themed things including kraft paper.
I layered some of the patterned papers and one of the cut outs. Then I used an organza ribbon
from my stash.

This has been such a fun hop and I really appreciate all the work everyone does for this Hop and the generous sponsors! Also to all the people who post such sweet comments, thank you!!
Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and special New Year!

Christmas Card


Good Morning and welcome to my 12 Days of Christmas Card series where I will showcase some of the cards I have made for Christmas featuring some of my favourite new (and maybe old) stamp sets and dies.

For Day Five, I didn't use a Christmas stamp but altered it for what I needed it for....a Christmas Card for my Girls Highland Dance teacher!

This is Ainsley the Scottish Dancer from Your Next Stamp. I stamped her and coloured her with Copic markers and then I paper pieced her skirt with some tartan paper.

Thanks for looking and come back tomorrow to see Day Six!
