Don't be a Grinch

Hello!  I have a fun card to share over on the KaDoodle Bug Designs blog today.  My card was created with the Jolly Christmas Faces cutting file and I stamped the face with the Peachy Keen Everyday Character 1 7/8" stamp set.  I absolutely love the larger face stamps from Peachy Keen Stamps, they work so perfectly with the cutting files.  All of the papers are from the DCWV All About Christmas Stack.

A touch of Stickles were added to the holly for a sparkly effect.  I cut out a set of banners using the Fish Tail Banner dies and created a couple of layers with the different sizes.  The sentiment is from the Scrappy Moms Merry & Bright (retired stamp set).  A couple of scattered snowflakes were the finishing touch on my card.

Hello Santa!

Hello!  Today I have a fun project to share over on the KaDoodle Bug Designs blog which were created with the Christmas Ornament Pals from KaDoodle Bug Designs.  I slightly modified the ornaments so that I could add them to a tag base which was cut from the Phrases cartridge.  The papers are from the DCWV Christmas Combo Mat stack.

The gingerbread ornament face was stamped with the Peachy Keen Candy Cane Face stamp set and the other faces were stamped with the Peachy Keen Ornament Face stamp set.  

The sentiment is from the APB Hello Santa Stamp set.  I stamped the sentiment on a scalloped circle and layered it on top of a snowflake.  Some Holly Berry Trendy Twine was tied to each of the tags.

Let's Veg Out Layout

Today I have a single page layout to share over on the KaDoodle Bug Designs blog.  My layout was inspired by the adorable Shoptastic Cuties - Tomato Cutie and Cucumber Cutie from KaDoodle Bug Designs.  I am so happy to have my tomato garden back this summer so I wanted to create a layout page to memorialize it.  I found the perfect papers from the DCWV Watercolor Florals stack to use for my layout.  Looking at the pictures of the layout, the cucumber looks a bit like the hornworms that are often seen around tomato plants.

The tools and sign were cut from the Cricut Freshly Picked cartridge.  The grass along the bottom was punched with the Fiskars Grass punch and the fence was punched with Martha Stewart Fence punch. Some wood grain washi from my stash was used as an accent.  I embellished the tag, sign and tools with a bit of Lime Orangesicle Trendy Twine.  The finishing touch was some paper flowers with bling.
