SF 2020 - November - Happy Holidays - Blog Hop

Be sure to hop through all the blogs on the list near the bottom for tons of wonderful inspiration!
It is a Happy Holidays kind of month!

~*~*~*~*~

So I wanted to just have a little fun this month. Was working on split shape cards and had some Jolly Ranchers and the Trimming the Town DSP sitting on my desk when I noticed similar colors. So I went with it - grabbed my Merry Moose set and coordinating punch and came up with this fun ensemble.

The card uses that split shape technique with our stitched circles in Misty Moonlight, Old Olive, Poppy Parade and Whisper White. The colors were just bright and kind of crazy - so I thought, why not add a green moose - right!?!

And I liked it! So then I had to do something with those matching Jolly Rancher candies, and our 3x3" acetate boxes did the trick. Filled up that little box and put a strip of Whisper White around it vertically to form a band.
Then attached some layers of matching colors to secure it.

Added some circles and a strip of DSP with a Holiday sentiment; and of course another green moose! Who could resist that - but I'm hoping those circles don't look too much like a target! I like my moose alive.

I hope you liked my Holiday projects and that maybe they brought a smile to your face.

November - Happy Holidays Hop with Stampin' Friends

I LOVE the HOLIDAYS! Once Halloween is passed and I know we're headed into Thanksgiving - Christmas and New Years - well I just get happy all over. So today I am sharing my personal wish for you - that you will have a "SWEET SEASON"! My card is made with elements from Stampin' Up!'s Candy Cane Christmas set - as well as the cute little gingerbread house that is fussy cut from the Candy Cane Lane Designer Series Paper.

These cards were just so fun to make - and I can't wait to sent them out to some special people before Christmas. Just getting that envelope in the mail would be enough to make me smile.

To me the RED background on the CRUMB CAKE - just makes the entire card pop. The red layer with the house is popped up on dimensionals and the peppermint candies were attached with glue dots. And how about that beautiful Stitched Edge Real Red ribbon. Plus a few sprinkles of pearls - like drops of white frosting.

And speaking of SWEET - here's a cute little matching treat. Cello bags of nuggets wrapped in DSP from the same set of paper, tied and topped with a cute little Gingerbread House tag.

And on the back another special wish to the recipient. Not get your creative juices going to make your own sweet treats.

For lots more fun inspiration - be sure you continue on through this hop to see all the great ideas being shared.
