Gingerbread Houses...

Been a crazy week as I've been trying to finish these cards for a few days now... :( Tried Sunday Stamps' latest sketch challenge for inspiration. Using up some scraps of the vintage gingerbread pattern paper and paired with the stamped with embossing powder on chocolate chip cardstock ~ cutest gingerbread house. Finished with some teeny embellies and voila! 2 more cards to make 231 cards of my 240 card goal...only 9 cards away..gasp..

Happy Friday everyone.

Christmas Homes

So I wasn't sure I was going to be able to tackle this week's Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge..as it was a bit chaotic here...Managed to start and finish 4 cards..mixing and matching the vintage pattern papers...finishing with the stamped and embossed with white gingerbread houses on the chocolate chip cardstock and punched. Loving these peppermint embellies that my bestie gifted me. I am loving the ribbon nows as I have a ton of ribbon that's been collecting dust for forever and a day.. Voila! 4 cards completed and now I'm at 229/240 card goal...and ahead of plan..even better. Which is your fave?

Holiday House Snow Globes

Cecile's sketch for inspiration from Freshly Made Sketches... Embossed the white gingerbread houses on chocolate chip cardstock.. for a different look from the crumbcake houses and added the peppermint candy embelishments. Decided to make faux snow globes for the gingerbread houses..added a sentiment here and there. Finished with these vintage (2008) glittery snowflakes on acetate. Using pattern papers from the vintage pattern paper stash. Which one is your fave? Getting closer to meeting my goal as I am now at 204/240 cards...36 more cards and I've achieved my goal for 2024.

Peppermint Christmas - *** WINNER***

On a roll with the Christmas cards and up for inspiration, the weekly sketch from Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge..decided to use the vintage gingerbread pattern paper in the stash..and my bestie gifted me these teeny peppermint embellishments and had to try them on the white embossed gingerbread houses on kraft cardstock. Pattern papers..foam tape. Used some red bakers twine and ribbon (gasp) on the ornament card. Had to try the balmy blue/pool party combination with crumb cake. With that folks... 199 cards/240 card goal. So excited! Voila!
