Moxie Fab Christmas Challenges

It seems it's been ages since I participated in any challenge. I got some play time this weekend and made some Christmas cards. I used to mass produce my holiday cards, but I've been inspired to make individual ones lately. I'm sure I can't do this for all the 150+ cards I have to make, but I'm having fun for now.

The first two cards are for the Jolly Holiday Card Challenge. The papers are from the brand new Graphic 45 Christmas Past. This paper collection is so beautiful. The ribbon is Offray and the sentiment is from SRM Stickers Happy Holidays. And that beautiful flourish is my new love, Zva Creative crystals.

My second card uses the beautiful Penny Black angel stamp and SRM Stickers again. The papers are Pink Paislee.

My next card is a gift card holder that I made awhile ago. It's for the Moxie Fab All Wrapped Up Challenge. I need to make special projects like this way in advance so I can send them in a timely manner to friends and family in the US. The dolls are by Hero Arts, sentiments from GinaK Designs Festive Frame. The shelf is from Nana's Needlework set. The papers are Cosmo Cricket.

Here's a close up with the gift card and/or cash inserted inside the card:

Simple Loveliness

Wednesday's post showed Layers of Color's soon to be released Cottage Rose in a fancy, shabby kind of way:-). Today's previews show how quickly you can make a set of simple note cards using the same stamp with coordinating inks and papers that many stamp companies have now. I think these make a lovely gift, don't you? The sentiment is from GinaK's Fanciful Tags set.

Here's a close up:

SRM Stickers Blog Hop

Welcome to the SRM Stickers Halloween Hop. I'm so glad you could join us and I hope you will enjoy the team's projects today, not mention, the generous giveaway of yummy stickers up for grabs! Make sure you stop by the SRM Stickers blog for more info and to see the order of the hope.

My cards today paired SRMStickers with the adorable Cosmo Cricket Nutmeg collection. We don't celebrate Halloween here in Croatia, so I thought I'd show you the cutesy approach to this holiday. I had so much fun making my first card with the Cosmo Cricket Nutmeg patterned paper and chipboard tag and SRM Express Yourself Halloween stickers. I added the uneven googly eyes. My girls think this bunny looks hilarious. :-)

For my second card, I stamped the pumpkins and colored them with Copics. They are perfect to go with that sweet sentiment from SRM Say It With Stickers Halloween. The papers are also Cosmo Cricket Nutmeg. The cardstocks used are GinaK Pumpkin Spice, white and Green Apple.

Your next stop is the lovely and talented... Kathy Racoosin! Thank you for joining us today! Happy hopping!
