More Holiday Cards

Hi friends! While I was working on my tags for yesterday's Keeping Christmas blog hop, I ran across a bag filled with cut and colored digitals that didn't make it onto cards last season.  I had a bit of time, and decided to make a few more cards before I stuffed all the Christmas goodies back in the closet for another month.

I loved these two papers from the Sugar Plum collection, so cut them to 4 x 5.25" for the back panels, then used the remainder for the horizontal strip on each card.  I added some riding hood red mats and a border from the Lacey Trim Duo Die Set to give a little contrast, then got to work layering everything together.

The sentiment for the first card is from the My Cup to Yours DIGITAL Set and had already been foiled with my Minc machine in silver.  I accented with the three holly mugs... one from the Good Cheer DIGITAL Set and the others from Holiday Sweets DIGITAL Set.  A little stickles on the berries and whip cream and that card was done. I wasn't able to capture the shiny silver Minc foiling in this photo, but did capture it on the top photo.

The second card uses the cupcake images from theHoliday Sweets DIGITAL Set. and a sentiment from the  Good Cheer DIGITAL Set.  I matted the sentiment and added the cupcakes to finish off this super easy card.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a fabulous Tuesday. The boys have their Kindergarten graduation this morning so there's sure to be tears as we say goodbye to the fantastic teachers who have poured their souls into our little boys for the past 3 years. Isn't their graduation portrait adorable? 💓 💓 💓  So proud of these boys!

Cup of Cheer

Hi friends! Happy Saturday! I've got one more card I made for the Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.  I didn't have enough time to blog it yesterday before I took the kiddos to yet another holiday party, so I uploaded it to my Splitcoast gallery to make it in time for last night's entry deadline.

I used the Holiday Sweets DIGITAL Set for this card, cutting the sentiment with a stitched circle die and matting with a pinking circle, then layering onto a glittery snowflake.  I then added some designer paper to the bottom of a kraft tag and then embossed the top half with a snowflake embossing folder.  Some thin little ribbon accents it and I then layered the whole thing onto a newsprint tag. 

The cup is also from Holiday Sweets and I colored with Copics and cut with the retired Cuppa Joe Die Set.  The black paper is from the CHRISTmas Collection by Bella Blvd and I finished with a bit of seam binding and an embossed crumb cake card base.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. It's a big bowl day for Boise State University, our town college, and the boys are beyond excited to watch the game. A couple weeks ago when I asked Trevor what he wanted for Christmas this year he said he wanted Boise State to win the Las Vegas Bowl!  Haha! Hope Santa can pull this one out.  LOL

Cyber Tea and Cookies

Hi friends! I hope you had a fabulous weekend. We enjoyed lots of holiday time with family and taught the boys to play Monopoly. Such precious memories.

We've all been still struggling through our colds, so lots of tea with honey has been in order. My boys really love tea. We make them an herbal gingerbread spice tea and add a touch of honey. And on the side, there always needs to be three Nyakers gingersnap cookies. They'll call you on it if they're missing one. Haha!

Anyhow, so our many tea and cookies moments had me thinking of the I just want to sip tea and eat Christmas cookies sentiment from the Santa & Coffee DIGITAL Set.  The printable pdf file have a few of the fully built sentiment options on it, but the individual png and jpeg files included in the digi have the building parts as well, so you could substitute your type of drink or activity to customize the sentiment in a number of ways. The cookie and tea cup images are from the Holiday Sweets DIGITAL Set.  I colored them with copics and fussy cut each one, adding a bit of brown sponging around the cookies and some glitter sprinkles to the centers.

I wanted to make my sentiment reminiscent of a ginger cookie, so cut it in a circle, and matted with a crumb cake scalloped circle die cut.  I sponged with a bit of gathered twigs to give that brown around the edges feel of a baked cookie. 

My papers are from the Merry Merry collection by pebbles and the skewed panels are 2 x 3.5" long and then matted with crumb cake.  I added a bit of ribbon and some more sponging to finish off the card.
