Falling for the Holidays 2022 {BYSHC} Linky Party ~ Decorative Ornaments ~ Pretty Pink Posh

 Hello there crafty friend!

Today I'm sharing a beautiful card for the Falling for the Holidays 2022 {BYSHC} Linky Party using a beautiful ornament stamp called Decorative Ornaments and a wonderful stencil called Layered Winter Foliage from brand new Sponsor Pretty Pink Posh. I just love how this card turned out!

I started by stamping the beautiful ornaments. I used Memento Tuxedo ink and Copic colored the ornaments with the following Copic Markers:

Greens ~ YG11, G24, G46

Pinks ~ R000, R20

Reds ~ R000, R20, R14, R27

I used the coordinating Decorative Ornaments dies to die cut the ornaments. I punched a hole in the top with a 1/16" circle punch and thread {Natural} May Arts Burlap string from Unity Stamp Co. through the holes. I tied pretty bows at the top of each ornament and set them aside.

The Layered Winter Foliage Stencils is actually a 3 pack set of stencils... loved how easy it was to use! I started with the pinecones and blended Tea Dye Distress Oxide ink. It took just a minute to adjust my second stencil with the leaves and I ink blended Shabby Shutters Distress Oxide ink. I placed the third stencil over the card front and blended Spun Sugar Distress Oxide ink and just a tiny bit of Candied Apple Distress Oxide ink. I used a very light hand with all of my blending and it gave me this beautiful almost pastel background... I love it!

I die cut the card front with the second largest die from the Big and Little Chain Rectangle die set from Sponsor Gina Marie Designs. I added foam tape to the backs of the ornaments and secured the ends of the string to the back of the panel using scotch tape. I removed the backing from the foam tape and popped up the ornaments. I adhered the panel to a Kraft A2 top fold card base using iCraft UltraBond Adhesive from new Sponsor Therm O Web. Love it!

{BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 11 ~ Ornate Joy ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

I am back with my weekly Christmas card and this time I've used a sweet Itty Bitty set from Unity Stamp Co. called Ornate Joy! I just love this beautiful stamp and it's another one that I just haven't inked up until now.

I stamped the Ornate Joy stamp with Memento Tuxedo black ink, but before I colored it I actually looked for a pretty paper to use for my card and decided to use the lovely Snowy Winter Greetings from a past Whit Kit. Of course, I gravitated to the blue papers... love these!! 

I colored up the ornaments with the following Copic markers:

Snowflake Ornaments ~ BG70, BG72

Red Ornament ~ R000, R14, R27, Y15

Tree Ornament ~ BG70, BG72, YG11, G24, G46, R27, Y15, B00, E55, E57

Noel Ornament ~ C00, C2, R000, R14, R27

Here's another look at {BYSHC} Sketch 11.

Unity Stamp Company ~ Holly Jolly Critters Ornament

Hello there crafty friends!

I'm sharing an adorable ornament today that I created using the newly release Holly Jolly Critters from Unity Stamp Company! This is such an adorable set... you have to check it out ---> Holly Jolly Critters!! I've just been itching to make some ornaments for the holiday season coming up and these little critters were absolutely perfect!

I die cut the sentiment directly with the Papertrey Ink Center Style: Feminine Die and also die cut the beautiful Holiday Intrigue papers... also from Unity!! I die cut the top piece four times with a coordinating red card stock. I adhered all of my pieces together with some liquid glue and then set the base of the ornament aside. I then colored up this cute penguin... love his little knit scarf!

I used the following Copic markers:

Penguin ~ C00, C1, Y06, YR15

Scarf ~ R000, R14, R27

I fussy cut him out and popped him up on the ornament. I added a few red enamel dots! Bam!

Here's a look at the back with the beautiful Holiday Intrigue papers... loving these gorgeous papers designed by the fabulous Angie Blom for Unity!! To finish off the ornament I added some sheer white organza ribbon. Now, I made this to be an ornament, but this could easily be a Christmas tag with just a little white piece of card stock on this back side and a quick To/From stamp. Easy peasy!

Be sure to check out the Unity website for a bunch of fun new releases 

including papers and stamps!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.
