TLC Designs: JINGLE TIME

Happy Thursday Friends! Are you ready for Christmas next week?! It's crazy to me that it's almost here! Have you finished all your Christmas decorating? Well, as you can see, Santa is a little behind on decorating his tree. I guess the Elves were too busy making and sorting presents that they forgot all about it, haha!

This card features the Jingle Time Digital Stamp Set from TLC Designs. I created the scene in MS Word, printed it on Xpress It Blending Card, and then colored with Copic markers. To create the oval frame, I used the Tiny Vine Oval Die.

COPICS:
Skin: E000, E00, E01, E11, E04
Hair: N0, N2
Red: R24, R27, R29, R39, R59
Black: C5, C6, C9, Black
Green: G21, G24, G46, G28
White: Liquid Applique

The decorative papers are from the Classic Santa Slimline Paper Pack. To finish off the card I added ribbon and paper flowers.

I encourage you to come and join in all the FUN on the TLC Designs Creative Sharing Facebook Group. We would love for you to share your fabulous projects with us so we can Ooooh and Aaaaah over them!

Have a wonderful Thursday and remember to Live Creatively!
Rosie

Jaded Blossom December 2022 New Release BLOG HOP!

 Happy Thursday everyone! Welcome to Jaded Blossom's December 2022 New Release Blog Hop! Now, if you're here from Jamie's Blog, you're in the right place. If you're just passing through start at the beginning because you don't want to miss a thing. I also have the complete line up at the bottom.

  For my project, I created a packet of Snowman Soup! It contains hot cocoa, marshmallows, two mini candy canes, and some Hershey kisses. 

 
I used the XL Topper Die to make the cute handle for these packets. The square Ziplock snack bags are the perfect fit for the XL Topper Die. I decided to use the accessory dies from the Gnome Dies: Winter Add Ons (snowman/snowflake), Gnome Dies: Christmas Add Ons 1 (mittens), and Gnome Dies: Gingerbread Add Ons (coffee mug) with the Gnoel Gnome Stamp. I think it turned out cute! 

  I rubbed Broken China Distress Oxide Ink onto the inside topper die panel, and used the Falling Snow Stencil with Hero Hues Unicorn White Pigment Ink to create the snow. I cut a 2nd inside topper die panel from white cardstock and tore it along the bottom to make the snowy ground. The "Snowman Soup" sentiment is from Winter Candies *Grid Style*.

***************************************

NON-TRADITIONAL CHRISTMAS COLORS!

For my card I decided to go with Black and White as my non-traditional Christmas colors. I inked up the Fair Isle Stencil with Versaclair Black Ink. Then I cut a tag from black cardstock using one of the dies in the Mini Tag Dies 2 set. The sentiment is from the Christmas Is Gnoming Stamp Set.

I used black/white twine to attach the tag to the card and raised the fair isle panel on foam tape for extra dimension.

Jaded Blossom: BIRTHDAY GNOME CUPCAKE TOPPER

Happy Friday everyone! I'm back today with my latest project for Jaded Blossom. My amazing hubby had a birthday yesterday so I made one of his favorite desserts....strawberry cupcakes with whipped buttercream frosting. I decided to create a fun birthday gnome cupcake topper for this special occasion. I LOVE the size of the Gnome Dies because they are the perfect centerpiece for your cupcakes....and they are just so stinkin' CUTE!! His favorite color is blue so I stuck to that color scheme.

The Gnome Dies have the gnome body, mustache, beard, nose, hands, and shoes. To create his little ears, I use the hands die. I used the Gnome Dies: Birthday Add Ons for the party hat and cupcake. The sentiment charm was created using the Gnome Dies: Candy Charm Add Ons with the Gnome Candies *Grid Style* Stamp Set. 

Remember, Jaded Blossom has a current ANYTHING GOES Challenge. You have until December 3rd to play along for a chance to win a free stamp set! And be sure to check out the Jaded Blossom Store for all your stamps and gift giving supplies. They have various Cutting Dies to make party favors along with Favor Bags and Boxes. 

Hugs, 

Rosie
