Jen is going to give away prizes as well so make sure to hop along everyone to leave sweet comments for a chance to win!
Okay, here is what I created...;-)

Winston is driving through the snow to be home with his family for Christmas!
No matter what kind of holiday you celebrate, isn't that the most important part of all?

This super adorable image from the Winston's Home for Christmas Set is one of my all-time-favorites! AND this was actually the very first time playing with it! What!!? 
It was stamped with Antique Linen Distress Ink on watercolor paper, did some no-line watercoloring, and fussy cut. 
That lovely sentiment was heat embossed with gold EP to coordinate the gold ribbons on the presents on top of the yellow bug. 

I applied some Glossy Accent to the windshield and headlights.
I also decorated his little wreath with the Crystal Drops. 

Yeahhh! It's a slider!
The background was created with the Tattered Rose and Dried Marigold Distress Oxide Inks, a little splatter of water, and dainty snowflakes were added using the Petite Snow Stancil and Glitter Gel.

Advent Calendar with Newton's Nook Designs

Hello, lovelies!

Today I am up on the Newton's Nook Designs Blog with this super fun project that will keep you and your family excited about Christmas!

So I had this crazy idea to create an advent calendar using a bunch of NND products!

It is actually quite simple, just a bit time consuming! So the first thing I did was to die cut 24 tags using the Tags Times Two Die Set from Kraft with gold patterned paper. The dates were die cut using the Essential Alphabet Die Set and I mounted pieces of black cardstock on the back of the tags where the numbers are. 

Then I grabbed a whole bunch of Christmas stamp sets and started heat embossing them with white EP on these little seed bags. The All Aboard for Christmas Set looks so stinkin' cute on the top row, doesn't it!? The second row is mostly a collection of Mini Stamp Sets, Purr-fect Present, Mistle Toad, Ginger Snap, Fleece Navidad, Llama Delivery, and Puppy Present. 

Here's a close-up from the other side.

On day 6, I have a kitty Santa in the chimney image from the Santa Paws Newton Set.

Day 13 has light bulbs from the Holiday Lights Mini Set, and we have cute little mice playing the Nutcracker from The Nutcracker Squeak Set on days 14-17. We'll take a look at day 18 a little later... 

On the bottom row, I kind of created frames with the Poinsettia Blooms Set, aren't they gorgeous!!? I carefully lined up 3 bags to heat emboss the Main Street Christmas Set.

On day 18 has this fun image from the Reindeer Roll Call Set. I LOVE how the names and a few reindeer images are jammed in on a small rectangle! 

Day 23 looks super fun with the Let It Snow Mini Set, and Christmas Eve is dressed up with the Poinsettia Blooms Set just like the other side of this row. 

I am going to have pieces of cardstock in 3 colors and let my 3 kids pick a color (my youngest is autistic so she won't participate), then these bags will hold one of the colors each day and when they get their color, they can each pick a teeny weeny toy from a box (because they didn't fit in these bags..LOL). This way, they all get the same number of toys, and this mama doesn't have to pick who goes first! HA!

I think we'll have fun until Christmas Day!

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Hope you enjoyed it!

Happy Thanksgiving to those in the US!!!

Foiled Merry Christmas

Happy Friday, lovelies!

Today I am sharing a Christmas card that I made with some of the Therm-O-Web goodies I received!

I love these big beautiful poinsettias from the Therm-O-Web Gina K. Designs Stamp n' Stencil Wishing You Joy Set! 

I heat embossed the flower image with red EP on white cardstock and die cut them using the coordinating die set, then applied the white parts of the poinsettias using the Detail Stencil and Deco Foil Transfer Gel. Once the gel was completely dry, I ran them through my laminator with the Deco Foil Iridescent Transfer Sheets. The bonus here was I guess some of the sparkles stuck to the embossing powder so the pedals were lightly foiled as well! Isn't it pretty!!? Happy accident 💙

This gorgeous sentiment was heat embossed with gold EP on a strip of vellum along with some diamond/argyle in white. 

These leaves were die cut from green cardstock using the TOW Gina K. Stamp n' Stencil Wishing You Joy Die Set and applied the veins using the Detail Stencil and Deco Foil Transfer Gel. Once the gel was dry, they were run through the laminator with the Deco Foil Emerald Green Flocks Transfer Sheets. I LOVE the fuzziness! It also gives great dimension and texture, it is so fun!

I kept the background simple with light blue ink and some gold splatters so that the flowers really popped! Several gold sequins were sprinkled and done! I love how this card turned out!

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Hope you enjoyed it!

Newton's Nook Designs Holiday Release Day 4

 

Hello, lovelies!
Today is the last day of the Newton's Nook Designs Holiday Release!
All the new awesome products will be available for purchase tomorrow Friday the 18th in the Newton's Nook Designs Shop! 
Let's take a look at what we're revealing today!

OH.MY.GOSH.!!! 😭💕

Newton and his girlfriend had kittens together!!!!!! 

The new Newton's Christmas Kittens Set truly melts my heart 💖

This new mini set Puppy Present couldn't get any sweeter!

Look at his sweet little face!!! 

Here is another adorable mini set Purrfect Present!

This is simply adorable, it makes me purrrrr 😻💕

Alright, here is my take...;-)

Seriously, can they get any sweeter than this!!?

Coloring this adorable family was so much fun!

I stamped the image on watercolor paper and did no-line watercoloring.

I also made them Santa's hats, adult size and kid size, but you know there's always one kid that wants daddy's so daddy ends up with a teeny kid size {LOL}

This sweet image does not need many embellishments so after heat embossing the sentiment with gold EP, I only added a few each of gold and iridescent star confetti, and a piece of plaid washi tape and a couple of mini staples. This is one adorable family, I can't handle it!!!

I took advantage of these mini stamps' little size to create a couple of tags ;-)

The tags were die cut using the tag die from the Fancy Edges Tag Die Set from kraft cardstock.

I watercolored this sweet kitty in the box and die cut it using the coordinating die. 

The sentiment was heat embossed with rose gold EP on vellum so that my sparkly background, which was created with the new Christmas Lights Stencil set, wasn't all covered up. 

This one is with the cute little pup ;-)

The same design as the kitty one, the pup was watercolored and die cut with the coordinating die, and the sentiment was heat embossed with turquoise EP.

I coordinated the twines with the colors of the boxes ;-)

These were super easy but super fun to make, I think I will make a whole bunch!

Newton's Nook Designs Holiday Release Day 3

Hey, there, Newton lovers!
Today is day 3 of the Newton's Nook Designs Holiday Release and we're revealing 2 awesome stamp sets along with their coordinating die sets!

The Holiday Fringe is a new addition to the Square Card Front line! 

These square stamps are always jam-packed with so much fun!

Ohmygosh!!!

Isn't this simply amazing!!?

I totally fell in love with the new Main Street set the first time I saw it!

The coordinating die set comes with 3 bonus sentiment dies and that's always exciting as well!

Okay, here's my take...;-)

I usually like non-traditional Christmas colors but this fun-filled image was begging me to go with the red x green ;-)

I heat embossed the image with copper EP on a 4-1/4" x 4-1/4" watercolor paper and watercolored it. I kind of assigned certain colors to certain objects so it didn't end up with 50 different colors. I added lots of sparkles to the light bulbs and ornaments with pearl watercolor AND glitter pen!

I drew red diagonal stripes every 1/4" using my ruler and red watercolor colored pencil then colored in every other stripes. Now I am looking at this, maybe wider stripes might have been better but I still like how this turned out!

How cute is this little town image!!?

I was so excited to color these houses!

I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on white cardstock. I wanted fun and bright colors so it was colored in with Copic markers. The second building (looks like a church but could be anything) is my favorite with all those stained glass windows!

Santa Claus is busy delivering presents all over the world!

I heat embossed this small but magical image with sparkly black EP and die cut it with the coordinating die. Then I die cut the sliding path for him to keep moving on! I heat embossed the little snowflakes image with iridescent EP as Santa and his magical reindeer sprinkle some Christmas magic dust all over! They weren't very visible so I just went over the whole piece with the glitter pen {LOL}

Just to show some of the small details...

I applied yellow Nuvo Crystal Drops to each and every glass as glowing lights on Christmas night, also turquoise and copper on the Christmas tree. 

I added this black and white striped washi tape on the bottom to look like roads, plus to match lots of blacks on these houses I used ;-)

Here are a couple of simple tags made with the Ornaments Stancil and the sentiment dies from the Main Street Die Set. 

The tags were die cut with the Fancy Edges Tag Die Set from white cardstock, and these beautiful ornaments were applied using the new Ornaments Stancil and Therm-O-Web Metallix Gel. The sentiment was die cut from the red foil sheet.  

The believe sentiment was die cut from pink glimmer paper.

I like the red foil much better, what do you think?

{Would you like to win the “Main Street Christmas”  or the “Holiday Frings” Stamp Set?}
