Friday Mashup! Sugar and Spice...


Hello Stamping Friends!! I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!
Now that Thanksgiving is behind us, I am officialy in "panic mode" for Christmas cards! This week's Friday Mashup gives me a chance to design something that will be fun and easy to duplicate. Lesley has a fun challenge for this week's challenge... http://www.fridaymashup.com/
  1. Make a project with a Christmas theme
  2. Make a project using aqua, chocolate, and white
  3. Or Mash it Up and make a project with a Christmas theme using aqua, chocolate and white
In terms of the colors, I chose Tempting Turquoise, Chocolate Chip, and Whisper White. I started with a chocolate chip card base, and added a strip of tempting turquoise. I added a whisper white panel, embossed with the tulip frame impressions folder in my Big Shot. I stamped the sentiment from God's Blessings, and the ornaments from Tags 'til Christmas. Next, I used my marker to add lines to those ornaments. Then I used my favorite Baby Jesus stamp from the retired Miracle of Christmas set, punched out with my ornament punch, sponged the edges, and popped up in the center. I sponged the edge of the white layer, and embellished with 1/4" grosgrain ribbon and basic jewel pearls colored with my marker.

I never would have considered this color scheme for Christmas...but it was a fun challenge! I should be able to do manyy more quickly after Thanksgiving vacation. I better...you should see my mailing list!!

Hope you join us this week at the Friday Mashup! Check out the blog http://www.fridaymashup.com/ for some yummy inspiration pieces...then link up your creations! Can't wait to see them!!

  1. I am always looking for something to do with this ornament stamp and punch. I really like the idea of punching out an image that isn't one of the ornaments. Very cool...

  3. I never seem to be able to come up with ideas for my ornament stamps. What a great idea to hang and overlap them like that! Very fun card, Kim!
