Sending Holiday Hugs

Hello, everyone!  Today I am hosting the Ways To Use It Challenge on Splitcoaststampers and the challenge is to use a popped up element on your card.  This was the perfect chance to make another fun Pop-Up Box card.

Creative Nugget:  The directions for this fun box can be found HERE.  These cute penguins from the Holiday Hugs stamp set were colored with Copic Markers and popped up with small strips of acetate.  Around the bottom of the box are snowy drifts cut with the Hillside Edges Dies.  Some sparkle was added with Crystal Snow and rhinestones.  This will go to my great-niece for Christmas.

These stamps and dies can be found at the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Store:

This is the last day to receive 20% off all Christmas/Fall stamp sets!

Christmas Cheer

Hello friends…happy Friday to you all!  I'm sending you a little Christmas cheer to brighten your day. Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps is featuring two new stamp sets designed by Diane Zechman today...Holiday Hugs and Poinsettias & Candles. If you like snowmen and penguins, wait until you see the adorable Holiday Hugs stamp set used for my sample…it's sooooo cute!

Creative Nugget:  Pebbles papers were used to make the background panels for this Mojo Monday sketch design.

The snowman image from the Holiday Hugs set was colored with Copic Markers and a few of the snowflakes were lightly stamped around him with Tumbled Glass Distress ink.  The little horizontal border was cut with a Hillside Edges Die and covered with Crystal Snow for added sparkle.  Crystal Snow was also added  on the drift under the snowman.  Stitching, Wink of Stella, glitter dots, and gems add to the sparkle and finish the card.

Here are both of the stamp sets being featured today and the Hillside Edges Die available at the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Store:
