Hello crafty friends! I hope you had a wonderful weekend filled with everything you love! I'm sharing a little card I recently made for this week's challenge at The Shabby Tea Room - 'Gingham Country Christmas'!
The Tea Room is sponsored this week by My Time Made Easy and I used the Gingham Candied Apple paper from the shop on the base of my card - LOVE!!
I stamped the presents and adorable little rocking horse using the Homespun Holidays stamp set and then die cut them with the coordinating Homespun Holidays Sweet Cuts die - easy peesy! The sentiment was stamped onto a banner using the same set and then double mounted on a base of Kraft cardstock! The tree was die cut from aqua glitter chipboard using a die from PTI and then I added some homespun cotton lace trim, burlap ribbon bow and a couple of delicious Rusty Jingle Bells!
Please be sure to visit The Shabby Tea Room to be inspired by the rest of the teamies gorgeous projects this week, and then I hope you'll have time to give our 'Gingham Country Christmas' challenge a try for a chance to win an awesome prize package from My Time Made Easy!
I decided that I am going with an aqua, red and cream color palette for my main holiday card this year! I adore these colors together!! I have about 30 cards made ... 30 more to go! Off to get a couple more made ...
I ... love ... Christmas!! Everything about this magical time of the year just makes me giddy inside! The baking, the decorations, the entertaining, the gathering with family and friends, the food and yummy smells ... I just adore it all! It truly is the most wonderful time of the year! I'm going to savor every precious moment because it all goes by so incredibly quickly.
I stamped the yummy candy canes on the left side of this card using the Ho Ho Ho stamp set and then stamped the sentiment inside a die cut ornament shape using the Make the Season Bright stamp set!
I hope you found some inspiration in the projects the teamies and I have shared with you over the past four days for the November *new* product release here at Paper Sweeties! Before we wrap up this month's release and move forward looking to December, we have just a couple more cards and gift ideas to share to help spark your holiday creativity!
I created little 3" x 5" 2014 calendars to give this Christmas as stocking stuffers and hostess gifts! I used various different stamp and dies from the Paper Sweeties line up to add a different image and sentiment to each of the months. I've shared 9 months of inspiration for this month's release and will be sharing the final 3 months at the beginning of December for our next release ... yes Paper Sweeties fans, we will be releasing all of the new in December products on 12/1 so you don't have to wait until the middle of the month for our regularly scheduled release! This way, you'll get an extra three weeks of paper crafting in before the big day arrives! Mark your calendars, bookmark our site, follow us on Bloglovin' (link on sidebar -->) so you won't miss a minute of the fun!

Hello friends! Welcome to The Shabby Tea Room #192 - 'Holiday Baking'!
This week we are to be inspired by the lovely photo and create a card/project with a baking theme and include the chalkboard technique, white, red & orange.
The Tea Room is sponsored by Digital Papers by Janet Etsy this week and I got to design with the Sweet Apple file - love! That adorable polka dotted apple surrounded by the cream and aqua dots makes me smile 🙂
Please be sure to visit The Shabby Tea Room to be inspired by the rest of the Shabby Girls gorgeous work this week and then we hope you'll have time to play along with our Holiday Baking challenge for a chance to win some yumminess from Janet's Etsy Shop!
I love the soft color palette, twill tape bow, candy dots and snipett of lace trim that finish off this festive card! The mixy-matchy patterned papers give it a warm, comfortable and homespun feeling ... perfect to send off to that special friend this season to let them know how grateful you are to have them in your life!
