Complements


When I first saw the sticker sheets that come in the White Pines Complements I knew I had to do a card using the singing animals and the MOOSE!  These cards actually went thru several variations until I found the right combo of elements. The problem was I wanted to show off the super cute animals but the background couldn't be too busy or they would get lost. The solution turned out to be creating my own background and I used the cute little star from the Festive Trees (B1493) stamp set. This is a hostess rewards stamp and I also use it for my sentiments on both cards. I random stamped the stars, the sentiments and sponge distressed the banners using Glacier ink.
Other products I used are White Pines Paper Packet for my little banners, Red Shimmer Trim, Gold Foil Tape and the green strip and blue holly and berries strip are from the compliment sticker sheets.

About the compliments... I love them! When it was announced that they were changing the compliments I was excited because CTMH always gives us great product to work with. All the compliments packets now feature the 2 6x6 sticker sheets and a separate packet of goodies that typically contains printed Kraft die-cuts (like the trees on both these cards) and it also has either printed vellum die-cuts, chipboard or printed plastic die-cuts that all coordinate with the theme of the paper packet.

For my Christmas Card workshops I am including a compliments packet with each kit and so far everyone has been very happy with them and they are going home with a ton of extra's to use on other projects.

Thank you for stopping by and I truly appreciate your comments.

Happy Crafting!

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #225

Recently I had a Facebook conversation with a lovely lady about card making, etc. and we were discussing Christmas cards... my response was "it's never to early to start creating Christmas cards!" and in celebration of that fact I present to you my first Christmas Card for 2017.  I actually got the idea for this card way back in March when I got my first sneak peak of the Jack Paper Collection and then I saw the bear in the Jack - Cardmaking Stamp and Thin Cuts. This weeks sketch from Atlantic Hearts seems to be the perfect time to make my idea into reality.

While I used the design for inspiration you can see that the design change slightly to accommodate my elements. I initially was going to have the Bear and tree on a background square like the sketch but it made it too heavy and distracted the eye, so instead I made my angled cross piece heavier and used White Glitter Paper to create some snow.  
I carefully ripped the glitter paper to create the uneven edge of my snow…

Atlantic Hearts #233

This card and I are not the best of friends!  The vision in my head for this weeks sketch from Atlantic Hearts just did not work and then this didn't work, and that didn't work.  Some days!  But I have made myself be okay with this card and I think it kinda follows the sketch.
For this card, I used papers from both the Silver & Gold (background) and Beary Christmas (tree) paper packets.  Ruby Cardstock was used for my frame and deer which are both Cricut cuts and the star, banner and tree are all thin cuts from the Beary Christmas Cardmaking Stamp & Thin Cuts set.  I stamped the sentiment in Ruby Ink.  The star is cut out on Gold Glitter Paper and the gold background stripe and the tree trunk is shimmer trim.

Thank you for stopping by and I truly appreciate your comments.  I hope I have inspired you to come play along with us at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge!

Happy Crafting!
