Christmas Joy

Hi, Diane with you today, with my card for this weeks challenge Mittens and/or Stockings with a touch of green.

I started my card with a round white card stock base, topped with a Spellbinders Heart Circle die cut from Stardream Jupiter Metallic paper. I thought this die would work cute with the little hearts in the mittens!

A few Impression Obsession Pine Branches were added to the top, along with a bow, and a jingle bell tied with Doodle Red Twine.

For the mittens I used PoppyStamps Stacked Mittens die,

cut from Pearlized Esse White Metallic paper. I cut the die twice and paper pieced red in here and there. I also cut the die from a white craft foam to give dimension.

Tiny Red Pearls were added to the flowers on two of the mittens.

A little die cut "Joy" was added for the sentiment!

Thank you for visiting with me today!

Watermelon - Yum!!!

Hi folks!  It's Holly posting today and I'm sharing a really cute, summery card with y'all.  Watermelon is such a summer staple, and yet, I'm allergic to it and I can't eat any.  But I think I can handle this paper version without any problems.  :-)   

Did you know that the raindrops from the Clouds and Rain die (Cheery Lynn Designs) make perfect seeds???  That was my inspiration for creating this watermelon card.  I kept looking at those raindrops, thinking they looked just like watermelon seeds!  LOL

To create my watermelon shape, I used some giant oval dies (Grand Oval Nestabilities from Spellbinders) and cut the three colored shapes.  I folded the green oval in half, cut down the white and red ovals slightly beyond the halfway point, and then glued them down.  

I cut out a bunch of black "seeds" from the Clouds and Rain die and then I used the Silhouette Pickmeup tool to pick up each "seed" so I could add glue (Quickie Glue Pen) to the bottom and then press it into place on my card.  I stamped the sentiment from Stampavie's With Love set above the seeds. 

Every watermelon slice needs a bee, doesn't it?  LOL  I die cut the two bee pieces from the Tiny Things with Wings (Cheery Lynn Designs) set from yellow and black cardstocks.  I then glued the black piece on top of the solid yellow piece using the Quickie Glue Pen.  The completed bee was glued near the top of the card so it looks like it is in motion.  To finish off my card, I touched off each seed with a white gel pen and I ran the edges of the green card base through a dark green ink pad.  

I hope you've enjoyed this fun touch of summer!  Have a great day!

I love your card Holly, but I'm so sorry you are allergic!!
