A Ginger Snap! PPA Sketch Challenge!

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!  Hopefully this finds you enjoying a few minutes of down time.  I am happy to share my creation for the PPA Sketch Challenge this week.

I thought I would sure a few sneak peeks with you.  Let's start with the delicious background paper from the new Love Blossoms Designer Series Paper Stack.  This stack contains many beautiful patterns that will be perfect for Valentines Day.  In the same suite are the Bloomin' Heart Thinlits Dies.  Can you believe that lacy die cut heart!  Using the Precision Base Plate makes cutting this soooooo easy.

And, here is the sketch from our very talented Nicole Watt.

Did you notice those Blushing Bride pearls that are placed on the center of a few of the flowers on the lacy heart?  They are also a sneak peek from the new Love Blossoms Embellishment Kit.  Also part of this same kit is that scrumptious Rose Red Paper Clip Bow.  It is anchoring the sweet banner & sentiment found in the new Bloomin' Love stamp set.

This suite of products is so much fun to play with that I will be excited to use it again.  In the meantime, enjoy the Holidays and if you have some time, join us over at the PPA this week.

Thanks for stopping by my blog!

A Ginger Snap! PPA Color Challenge!

It's time for another challenge from the PPA.

These are classic colors for the Season so please consider playing along with the PPA this week.

 I combined the Reason for the Season stamp set and the Boughs & Berries Textured Impressions Embossing Folder for the basic elements of my "peace" card.  The poinsettia image is colored with Real Red & Garden Green Stampin' Write Markers.  After fussy cutting the poinsettia, I popped it up with Stampin' Dimensionals.

 Using the Christmas Greetings Thinlits DiesGold Foil Paper, I cut the word "peace" out and affixed it to my card with the Fine-Tip Glue Pen.  The card base is embossed with the Boughs & Berries Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.

If you look closely at my card, you may be able to catch a glimpse of a sneak peak from the upcoming Occasions Catalog.  The center of the poinsettia & the berries from the embossing folder are dotted with  the Gold Wink of Stella Glitter Brush.

A Ginger Snap! A Sketch Challenge With the PPA 277!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!  Hopefully you are enjoying some time with family enjoying the day.  For the challenge this week, I decided to create a Christmas card.

All Ye Faithful rt

 Here's the sketch that prompted my design.  As you can see, I turned the sketch.

PPA 277 Nov 25

Winter Wonderland Specialty Designer Series Paper provided the perfect backdrop for my card.  The white snowflakes against the black as night dsp create a realistic scene.  Using all 3 images from the All Ye Faithful stamp set fills my card nicely.

The tag in the center was created using the Curvy Corner Trio Punch.  In addition, the tag is popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals.  If you look closely, some bling was added with an Iced Rhinestone Embellishment.  The folds of the robes are accented with Pool Party Ink & a Blender Pen.
