Merry & Bright

 Hello, Everyone!  Hope your week is panning out to be wonderful, merry & bright!

I have a card today, to head over to Color Hues #7 - magenta & blue.  Here's my disclaimer... while I did use those colors, they are definitely different in my pictures, maybe because of indoor lighting?  I don't know, sorry but just know they are the true colors.  Here it is ~

You might be able to detect the magenta on the base cs.  When I photographed this card originally, I noticed that some flower soft fell off his hat so I had to repair that.  Then I thought that the lights needed some glossy accents, so I fixed that as well.  Much better, but my pictures turned out less than desirable!  I guess sometimes you just gotta roll with the punches!  Here's a close-up ~

I've got a few more cards to post, another day.  Meantime...

Supplies:

   JD - Warm Wishes

   PTI - In the Meadows die

   PB - Simple Stackers (NBUS, new to me die)

Thank you, Friends, and I hope your week continues to be a blessing.

Hugs,

'Tis the Season Elf

 Hello again!

Another quick post so a card can meet up with a challenge.  I'm nearing completion of my dash, except those that go to immediate family and can be made later to drop off (safely)!

Amazingly, this card meets up with two MFT challenges, a sketch (MFTWSC518) and a color (MFTCC154), all while using MFT products -- I almost never make that happen!

And here's my inspiration, I think you'll see it  😁  While my red is not quite as rich as the one below, the 1st layer of paper is red.

Success?  I think so, and Hubbs actually likes this one "because the colors just pop"!  Win-win!

Supplies:

   MFT - Santa's Elves

Thank you for stopping by, and spending your precious moments with me, I really do appreciate ALL of you!

Hugs,

Reindeer Prance

 Howdy all!  I'm still on a mad dash for cards, so I'll try to keep this short.

I was inspired by a new die and a sketch, and this is what I came up with ~

Another layering die from SB, what you can't see is that I winked a bit on the frame and each individual snowflake from the ef.  Here's a close-up~

I will be entering these at:

Supplies:  

   TPS - Snowflakes e/f

   SB - Reindeer Prance Layering set (NBUS)

Thank you to everyone for the "safety" well-wishes, I'm doing what I can!  Hope your holiday prep is underway, and hopefully a bit AHEAD of me  😁  Blessings to all of you and of course...

Hugs,

Season's Greetings Pinwheel

 Hello again, I hope everyone is doing awesome!  Please stay safe and protect yourself!  I just returned to work after 2 weeks off and returned to 13 new people out with you know what!  What a shocker...

On to better things...  I made another card, no challenge, just wanting to do one of these "pinwheels" for awhile so why not make it Christmas?  

I couldn't come up with 2 patterned papers that I liked together so I opted for a little bling instead.  I cut two black base layers and made the 8-pointed pattern; then cut 4 of each of the other papers before splaying them out, in an orderly fashion of course!  A small snowflake brad shows off the center point.  And a close-up to MAYBE see the sparkle on the glitter paper...

Thanks for popping in again, it's great to see everyone!

Hugs,

TK

True Gifts of Christmas

 Howdy!

Are you still making Christmas cards?  Are you storing up for next year?  Are you ahead of ME and got yours in the mail?  Well, I'm not too far behind but since I'm back to work, and now working OT to catch up, my cards aren't quite ready to send.  I'll probably still continue with the making of more since all the supplies are out, and well I can post until Christmas and you won't think me batty - lol.

Onto the card ~ there isn't a challenge for this one, only the chance to use a new product and get it in the regular Christmas bin.  While the product is new to me, I've had it a very short time...

Sorry for the weird photo angle, but I wanted the shine to shine, and the gold sentiment to show!  This is a 3-part die allowing you to cut the layers:  1) the blue background, 2) the gold star and rays, attached to an arched window, and 3) the nativity scene.  Once they're all layered, the top layer covers the others as far as the arch is concerned and you get the white frame.  I applied some gold "tape", it's quite mirror-y, in fact you can even see the tiles reflected in it from my hearth!  Above that the sentiment was stamped using gold pigment ink -- love it!

Supplies:

   MB - Nativity Layering Set

   TE - In/Out Christmas sentiments

Hope your week is off to a bang, and a lovely one at that!

Hugs,

TK
