Some Sassy Studio Cards

Happy New Years Eve!  Hope you will all be safe as you celebrate!

I haven't had much time to post lately, so I'm doubling these two Sassy Studio cards up today.

The first uses Cocoa Carol.  The sketch is form Card Patterns sketch #96.



This second one used The Nutcracker.  This is for the challenge going on now at Sassy Studio Designs.  This week the challenge is to make a thank you card.  We all need these after the holidays, right.  So play along if you can for the chance to win 2 SSD images.



Images from SSD, Papers from SU, PTI, MME, Images colored with copics

D2D Oldies but Goodies Holiday cards

Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas, we are in the process of digging out from a major storm right now.  30 plus inches and lots of drifts.  Glad to be warm and dry though!

These two cards are from my contribution to the Card Ideas blog, we had some holiday cards posted on the 24th and 25th of December using some of the older D2D images.  It was fun to go back to some of the older images and revisit them.


My first card uses the Beary Good image.  Love the little bear sneaking the cookies, so funny.  I used MMSC83 for this one.  The papers are PTI and Basic Gray.


This one uses Snow Dog, another funny imgage!  I used SU cardstock and Bo Bunny patterns here.  Yet another one of Midnight Madness's sketches (MMSC82).  Love those fantastic sketches they provide each week!  I usually go the simpler route with them, so cool to have the simple or fancy option.

If you would like to see some more cards with oldies, but goodies from D2D, check out this post on the Card Ideas Blog.

Be warm, be safe, be well!

Snowfolks

Can't believe Christmas eve is tomorrow, yikes, I need to get things done.  Haven't started wrapping yet and still need to go grocery shopping.

But before I get to that, I wanted to post a few more snowy cards using two more of the Snowfolks images from Designed2Delight.


This first one is made with Heartfelt Wishes.  I used the Midnight Madness sketch #84 for this layout.  I love the liquid pearl snowflakes falling all around her.


This next one uses Winter's Cheer.  This cute image comes with many great sentiments, too.  This one is the Friday Sketchers sketch #133.

Thanks for dropping by.  Hope you have a "Very Merry"!

Snowman Love

This is the freebie of the week from D2D, if you didn't play along last week, you can pick up Snowman Love in the D2D store. He is part of the Snowfolks collection, they are my favorite group of images in Faith's store.  All of them are so different and cute.

I used the clean and simple sketch from Card Patterns #95 this week.  Perfect to make up a quick card during this busy time of year!

Hope everyone is well and all prepared for the holidays. We've been dealing with various colds and croup here, so things are not really getting done.  Oh well, it will all get done eventually (or it won't, lol).

Stay warm!

Stamps:  Designed2Delight Snowman Love
Ink:  Printer
Paper:  PTI ssw, Blue Bayou, Ridinghood Red, MME patterned

Green Poinsettias

I know this is a bright one, lol!  I saw my blogging friend Annie color these D2D poinsettias green a few weeks back (check out her card here).  Thought it was a brilliant idea, so I gave it a go.  A fun change from the typical red.

The layout is pretty simple, just played around with them to get them to fit.

Thanks for dropping by today.  We've got to get our tree.  The house was torn apart all week to have some windows installed, so we thought it would be better to get the tree when the job was finished.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Image and sentiment:  Designed2Delight
Paper:  PTI ssw, SU Gable Green, Green Galore
Ink:  Printer
Embellishments:  copics, nesties, BG embossing folder, stickles, bellas baubles, dimensionals, corner rounder

Happy Birthday Faith!




Today is Faith's birthday.  Faith is the owner and artist of Designed2Delight. The DT put together a great showing of birthday cards for her today on the Card Ideas Blog. She is a wonderful person, and a great artist!  I feel lucky to have the opportunity to work with her on her DT!  So here's to you Faith, enjoy your special day!

I used the sketch from The Corrosive Challenge Blog (challenge #94) for the layout. This cupcake image is from D2D and called Cherry on Top. I had to do mine chocolate, that is the only cupcake choice in my opinion, LOL!

Happy Birthday Faith and many more.  If you would like to wish Faith a Happy Birthday, too, leave her a message on the Delightful Inspiration blog.
