Pinkfresh Poinsettia
I started by stamping and heat embossing the big Poinsettia stamp set twice: once with gold embossing powder on Hammermill and once with Distress Embossing Glaze in Speckled Egg on vellum.

Kat Scrappiness Christmas Lantern
One thing I love about Kat Scrappiness is that she has lots of shaker dies! This older Christmas Lantern is one of them.

Stitchmas: Day 9 – 12
This year I’m co-hosting an Instagram hop using the Spellbinders Stitchmas Advent Calendar. We’re hopping on even days, starting on December 2nd.

Merry Giveaway Cards
I cut out the A2 Cover Die from an old background. The background was stamped with a Taylored Expressions background stamp and heat embossed in light blue.
-
California Santa
I want my Santa to sit at the bottom of an A2 card with the sentiment above him. It’s a pretty big sentiment, so it’s important to plan out my card.
-
Oval Holiday Shaker
I cut the oval base layer three times from red foil cardstock and once from clear acetate. Next I cut the oval frame three times from red glitter foam.
-
Stitchmas: Day 5 – 8
I cut the star background from Hammermill Cardstock and the segments from Recollections Gold Foil Cardstock.
-
A Slimline Christmas
I had a dual purpose for these cards. I needed to create a card with an old kit or subscription for an Instagram hop and I needed sample cards for my next giveaway.
-
Stitchmas: Day 1 – 4
My plan was to create round ornaments with my stitched die cuts, using wooden coasters as my base. I started by painting the edges with gold paint.

November Pinkfresh Challenge: Floral Bauble
I heat embossed the images and sentiment in Ranger Super Fine Gold Embossing Powder. Then I used the layering stencils with the challenge colors.

November Pinkfresh Challenge: Holiday Gifts
I die cut and stenciled the faux envelope in Begonia. I arranged the presents and greenery coming out of the envelope more or less following the image on the packaging.
-
November Pinkfresh Challenge: Holiday Spirit
For my background I stenciled Holiday Foliage with Warm Buff, Doe and Lunar Paste in Cookie Dough.

Kat Scrappiness Vellum Snowflake Frame
I started out by stamping and heat embossing the foliage arrangement from the Christmas Add-On Stamp for the Holiday Lantern.

Reindeer Shaker Card
I’m still charmed by Simon Hurley’s Woodland Wildlife Stamp and Die Set. So for an Instagram challenge with a snow globe theme, I watercolored the reindeer from it.
-
Christmas Boutique
When I got this die set I felt kind of meh about it. But now that I’ve created a card with it, I think it’s super cute! It was fun to put together, too.
-
Green Craftmas
First I used my Pinkfresh Solid Hot Foil Plate with all the cool-toned leftover foil to make my own foiled cardstock.
-
Reindeer Games
The reindeer images were stamped on Hammermill 100 lbs cardstock with brown alcohol-marker-friendly ink and I colored them with my Ohuhu markers.
-
Candy Cane Shaker
After I was done, I had lots of leftover strips of red, pink and white glitter cardstock. I didn’t want to just recycle it, so I made a shaker card.

First Influencer Haul
These are the Kat Scrappiness products I bought to serve as a foundation for my fall and winter crafting as an official influencer of the brand.

Spellbinders Xmas in July Haul
These are the Spellbinders products I received in my Christmas in July haul.

Have a Norse Yule
I stamped YULE and the Norse greeting with Versamark and used Lumberjack Plaid Embossing Powder to heat emboss them. Then I cut out the license plate with the die.
-
Shabby Chic Tim Holtz Santa
I want this card to be shabby chic, so I’m using a lot of gesso. Over-simplified, gesso is thick, matte white paint.
