Christmas Kitty

Good morning everyone! 

It's time for a new challenge at Moving Along With The Times!
This week it's Hazel's turn to host the challenge and she has provided us with a fabulous sketch to work with!

My card features the adorable "Puss in Boot" image from Lili of the Valley... 

It's colored with Copics, I paper pieced the boot and then I added a bit of sparkle to the trim & tag with the Wink of Stella Pen. The sentiment is from Hero Arts, the papers are from Bo Bunny- the Powder Mountain Collection and I used Pumice Stone DI for the distressing. I used a Recollections punch for the snowflakes, covered them with Glamour Dust and then I added a tiny drop of Baby Blue liquid pearls to the centers.

This is my last card as part of the MAWTT DT. After 2 years I've decided to step down and I wanted to take a moment to say THANK YOU to Hazel and the entire team... it's been such an honor to be part of this talented design team! I'll miss you guys but I know I will 'see' you around in blogland! :)

I'm not sure if I will post again before Christmas... so I wanted to wish you all a
VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Thanks so much for stopping by and for all of your wonderful comments! :o)
Big Hugs, Tammy

Good morning everyone!

It's time for a new challenge at Moving Along With The Times!

This week it's Red's turn to host the challenge and she would like to see our creations that reflect our Christmas Climate!

I live in Colorado and we usually have a ton of snow... so I thought I would use this adorable snowman image from Deep Red Stamps again! :)

It's stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa, colored with Copics and cut out with a MFT Stitched Circle die, I also used a few dies from the MFT Blueprints 9 set to create the tag. I stamped the snowflake background with a Hero Arts stamp & VersaMark ink, the sentiment is a $1 stamp from Michaels.

The little trees were cut with a CB die and the paper is from MME. I used Vintage Photo Distress ink for the distressing... the hand dyed seam binding, wooden heart button and twine are all from my stash.

For the sentiment I painted some chipboard letters and then covered them with Rock Candy Distress Stickles, the papers are from Bo Bunny- the Apple Cider collection.

Good morning everyone!

It's time for a new challenge at Moving Along With The Times!

This week it's Shell's turn to host the challenge and she would like to see our creations for... Someone Special at Christmas

I decided to make a Christmas card for my wonderful In-Laws! It features the beautiful On a Winter's Day image by Delicious Doodles... I printed the image in a sepia tone and then added a touch of glitter to the snow with the Wink of Stella pen. The background is embossed with the Cuttlebug 5 x7 Winter Frolic folder, I used Walnut DI for the distressing and the sentiment is computer generated. The poinsettias were cut out with Spellbinder dies, spritzed with a little Perfect Pearls Mist and then I coated them with Rock Candy Distress Stickles... you can't see it very well in the photo- but this card is
so sparkly IRL! :)

ADD TEXTURE!

Any type of texture will do- fabric, twine, lace, embossing, texture paste etc...

 And remember you don't have to make a card... your project can be anything at all, as long as you follow the theme! :)

I decided to make a 5 x 7 birthday card for my wonderful Father-in-Law and it features the adorable Fisher Moose image from Meljen's! It's colored with Copic, the sentiment is computer generated and the papers are from Authentique. For the background I used the Burlap stencil from Tim Holtz and some modeling paste, for the circles I used the Confetti stencil from Heidi Swapp, sponged in VersaMark ink and then embossed them with Aged Ivory Frantage. I cut the fish (CB die) and button (MFT die) out of corrugated kraft cardstock, distressed everything with Vintage Photo Distress ink and to finish it up I added a little raffia and a screw brad. Whew! A lot going on with this card but it was so fun to make and the best part was... my FIL loved it!
