Birch Press Design - Foil Morning Rose

I used lots of foil of today's Birch Press Design project.  So pretty!

SOSS #225 - R for Reindeer

I cannot believe it's 2023 and time for another Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers Challenge already!  This time we're asking you to include a reindeer on your card.

I don't recall if I used Glossy Accents on the reindeer's nose but it would have been a great touch.

Simon Says Stamp Hugs Release: Crocus

Have you seen the Simon Says Stamp Hugs release?  I got a selection of products from it as part of my Golden Bone winnings but the holidays got in the way so I didn't have a play until last night.

I must say I'm rather pleased with how my coloring turned out on the crocuses (croci?). And I wish I could have captured the texture of the embossing folder better.  Trust me, it's amazing.

Poinsettia Joy

I took advantage of some mega holiday sales and had a play, mixing my new Pinkfresh Studio and Honey Bee Studio hot foil plates with an image I colored up years ago, literally, and added some finishing touches to it with some deeper shading. I love how bold this card is!

I'm entering Jingle Belles What Did Santa Bring You and Peace on Earth #31 (always anything goes).

Gnawsome Birthday

This card is so very gnawsome! Valentiney but birthday at the same time plus super cute!  I hope LF comes out with an add-on to include "gnawsome" and maybe some baby beavers.

I used a failed stenciled background from ages ago for the tiny hearts then colored the rest to match.

I'm entering this in AAA Birthday #45 Anything Goes and Lawn Fawnatics #140 Let’s Celebrate.

Love Ya So Dam Much!

Remember how I made a few paper strip cardstock panels and said I'd use them all someday? Well, I wasn't kidding.

And, to say I absolutely love the latest Lawn Fawn release would be no exaggeration either.  Just look at those beavers!  And the pun?!  How could I not, right?

It Moose Be Your Birthday

I thought of the LF Let It Shine Starry Skies paper when I saw the most recent Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #139 inspiration board.

I had colored up this moose ages and ages ago so this card was relatively quick to put together.  I did some quick sponging of the trees and the mountains, even adding some glitter pen to the trees.  So shiny!
