Get Happy Card 1

I fell in love with the Gossamer Blue Get Happy Christmas line this year! I couldn't WAIT for it to ship, I even signed up for their newsletter so I could order it asap, which I did! And I even made a video to share with everyone the pieces of the collection that I got.

This is the first card that I have made with this kit and I am SO HAPPY with the way it has turned out!!

I even videoed the creation of this card in case you'd like to see it. I did go extra heavy with the embossing powder bag, sorry about that...

Lawnscaping Challenge #70, Take 1!

I adore the polkadot/ star snowy background from the Let it Snow set of Lawn Fawn Stamps. So when I saw Challenge #70 was Polka Dots I couldn't resist making a card from this set, and since I needed some on hand I also used the Happy Hanukkah set.
I used a kraft cardbase that I had on hand, Some fine White embossing powder from Inkadinkadoo, some paper from the new Cosmo Cricket Creative Girl 8x8 paper pad, some scraps of a piece of paper from Glitz Design's Yours Truly Collection and two Wilton brand doilies. I stamped the Menorah in Spice Tin colored Ink (Jenni Bowling for Ranger Dye Ink) and then filled in the flames with gold stickles. I also brushed around the edges of the doily with the ink and REALLY swiped the inkpad on the doily I layered underneath the first one.
This card is fairly simple, I then stamped Happy Hanukkah on a scrap of the Glitz Design paper and embossed, then cut the flag end and adhered it to my card. That background is simply one of my favorties. I think it's so fun and versatile!

Thanks for looking!

I loved the idea of taking a sentiment and making diagonal stripes across with it. So I pulled out some supplies, heavy on the ink this time and made this card.
