Taylored Expressions Christmas Grumpling

Hello! Today I'm sharing a Christmas card I made using Taylored Expression's Grouchy Christmas Grumplings!

I just adore the TE critters! This Holiday Grumpling was colored with Copics, along with the jingle bell in the sentiment. The matching TE dies made it a breeze to cut the fox out.  I added gold Wink of Stella to the jingle bells for some shine! The patterned Christmas paper is two-sided, so I put the Jingle Bells sheet music (found on internet and printed at home) on the striped side, and cut with My Favorite Things round stitched circles the background for the fox and the sentiment.

Thanks for joining me today!

Hello! Today at Kitty Bee Designs it's my turn at the spotlight, and here is a card I made for my bunny loving niece!

The background paper is old Creative Memories, and the smaller blocks are from my scrap stash. The dies are from My Favorite Things (Stitched Circles, Fishtail Banner), and the stamps are Doodlebug Alphabet by Clear Expressions. A Creative Memories punch made the heart for the sentiment. I'm going to stamp a birthday sentiment inside and give it to her on Oct. 30.

JAS Circle card Challenge

At Just A Scrappin', we are challenged to make circle cards. I made mine a scalloped circle using Art Philosophy and my Cricut! Here is a Christmas card I made-

The card base is white cardstock by Close To My Heart. The topper is made with green shimmer paper (Wausau), and green foil (Colorbok). The ornament was made with the Anna Griffith Winter Wonderland cartridge at 4", and I wouldn't go smaller than this as the layering pieces are extremely detailed. I used silver, gold, white, and pewter shimmer paper (Wausau) and topped the ornament with gold cording. The sentiment is on a scrap piece of white cardstock, stamped with Versamark ink and embossed with Hero Arts Green Shimmer powder. A corner rounder on opposite corners finished the sentiment.
