Santa Claus is Coming to Town - PDE Linky Party

Are you Linking Up with PDE? Every Friday starts a new PDE Linky Party and today is my DT day for the month of December. Many of my DT sisters and I have some wonderful projects to inspire you today, so head on over to see all of them after scrolling though my project for you!

I'm using a file I picked up from the Silhouette store last Christmas for this card. When I bought this file, I knew that it would always be one of my favorites and that I'd get many uses out of it.

This Santa silhouette with his reindeer is just too cute! I hope that Santa is stopping by your house this Christmas holiday to bring you gifts and to remind you of the greatest gift of all - Jesus!

The background paper for this is from Carta Bella and the sentiment from My Craft Spot.

Stop by the PDE Blog and link up all your projects this week. The theme is always 

Anything Goes!!!

Thanks for dropping by!

Blessings,

                    

Merry Christmas, Snow Kisses! PDE Linky Party!

It's Friday and that means another Friday Linky Party has started at 

PDE Linky Party

where the theme is always Anything Goes!!!

And it is not just a card party - this linky party is for anything at all that you have created, so head on over there and show off your Creativity!!!

Because paper is a part of my DNA, I have another card to share with you today!

This sweet guy and his Polaroid frame are old freebies from Treasure Box Designs. You can find the Snowman and a file that includes a Polaroid frame both in the $1 section of the store. 

(Update: The Snowman file is on p.3 of the TBD store and there is a file on p.4 that includes a polaroid frame. I blended a couple of files together to make the card. Go here to find them. Hope this helps those who are trying to find the files to make this cutie!!!)

I just love how my Snowman turned out!!! Snowmen are my fav!!! The card is A2 sized. The background paper, from Doodlebug Design's Sugarplums collection was cut at 4" by 4 1/4". I then took the snowman and the frame and adjusted the pieces to the sizes that would work for my card. The sentiments are from My Craft Spot and were stamped using Weathered Wood Distress Ink. The snowflake is a Martha Stewart punch and I finished it off with a red sequin. 

I think he is just cute as can be and I hope you like my Snow Guy too!!! 

Thank for dropping by! And don't forget to link up all your creativeness at the PDE Linky Party this week!

Blessings,

You've Been Boo'd!

It's time for another 

PDE Linky Party!!!

The theme is Halloween Treats!!! This one will be fun as we are all getting those last minute treats ready for school parties and such!

I have always liked the idea of secretly leaving a treat on the neighbor's door, ringing the bell, and running off. I haven't done it, but this year I have at least made the boxes. Maybe I'll let the kids give it a try as we have several widows as neighbors.

So here they are:

Can I say, "EASY to put together!!! The box itself is two pieces of paper - the top part of the box and the bottom part. Glue some tabs on both pieces and slide the top over the bottom. Done!!! Nothing better than a quick treat box!!! The box is from SVG Attic's Halloween Character Boxes. The paper for the ghosty top is from Doodlebug Design. It is the Kraft in Color White Woodgrain. It is one of my favorite papers. Anyway I had started these late one night earlier this week. I made the first box with a plain white top and it took me two seconds to say, "No, that's just not going to work! I need a patterned paper!" My next thought was that my local craft store a block down the street carries the Kraft in Color collection year round. So the next morning I was off to pick some up. I'm so glad I did. I really like how they turned out. The sentiment is from Scrappy Mom's Stamps' Bewitched set. It was stamped onto a Labels Ten die from Spellbinders. 

Here is a close up of one of them. 

So glad you came by today!!! Hope to see you again soon!

Don't forget to link up your treat boxes this week at PDE Linky Party!

Blessings,

Get Well - PDE Linky Party

Hey, All!!! It is another Friday post for the PDE Linky Party!

And this week's theme is Get Well!

With Halloween coming up, I have witches and goblins and everything spooky on the brain. So when I made this project, I couldn't help but go in that direction.

The tissue box was made using a tutorial I found on the Splitcoast Stampers site. To add some dimension to the box itself, I broke out an embossing folder and ran the panels through my Cuttlebug. I then took some silver ink and lightly ran it over the sides to add some color to the impressions. For my opening at the top of the box, I used a Spellbinders Label 10 die. The Skull and Crossbones file is from Miss Kate Cuttables. For the sentiment, I used a die from the Spellbinders Nested Pennants set and stamped Get Well to it. 

I wanted to print out a sentiment that says, "Don't Die"; but maybe that would have been too much. LOL! Hope you enjoy my project and that you will give it or something similar a try. Have a great weekend and don't forget to drop by the PDE Linky Party with your Get Well projects.

This week's theme: Besties Card

Here is a little inspiration for you to get your creative juices flowing!!! 

Lots of clean white space is hard for me, but I really like how all the white makes the blues and pinks on this card pop. The card is A2 size with a white on white background. The background piece is inked with Summer Sky Memento Ink. Memento Inks are my go to inks for most projects although I do prefer Color Box inks for my brown tones. The Cat file is from Miss Kate Cuttables. I only used 3 main layers to create this instead of the five shown in the PDF, and then, of course, cut the pink layers for the cheeks and the heart. For the eyes and nose, I used a black marker to color them in. The layers were inked with the same Summer Sky ink to add depth to the piecings. The sentiment is from Jaded Blossom's Super Hero (Revamp) set and is stamped onto a cut file from Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons.

Hope you enjoy this card and will give it or something similar a try.

Flip Flopping Summer Fun - PDE Linky Party

There is a new challenge over at the

Pause, Dream, Enjoy (PDE) Linky Party!

The Theme: Summer Fun!!!

It starts today and you have one week to link up. We can't wait to see your projects.

Here is a gift set that I made to help get the Party started:

Have a Sun-sational Day! There is nothing I like more on a sunny day than to wear my flip flops!!!

The card is A2 size and uses an SVG file from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs. The background paper is from Doodlebug Designs and the pink border is made using a piece of cardstock from Papertrey Ink. The base itself is a piece of Recollections brand 110# cardstock from Michaels. The stamped sentiment is from Cardz TV's Summer Fun set. I finished it all off with a piece of Totally Pink Trendy Twine (one of my all time favorite twine colors!!).

For my treat sack, I used the small candy sack w/ flat bottom from Annie's Paper Boutique (Home of Trendy Twine). I added some bright, fun candies and then attached a matching tag to it with some ribbon and a tad bit more of the twine. The tag also uses the flip flop file from LSHD and the same patterned paper for the background. You will notice on both sets of flip flops, I used my Cuttlebug and embossed the paper using the Spots and Dots folder.

Like I said earlier, I am looking forward to seeing all your fun projects. Thanks so much for stopping by. I appreciate you all and always enjoy your comments. I invite you to visit my Facebook and Pinterest pages as well.

Have a wonderful weekend!!!

Blessings,
