ICS Blog Hop Sketch Challenge

Hello and welcome to December ICS Blog Hop!

This month, we're spotlighting the cute sketch below using Stampin' Up products.  I truly enjoy creating projects using a sketch because it gives you a chance to let your creativity flow. I wasn't sure if I wanted to do a Christmas card or any occasion card, and the occasion card won! 

I decided to use the Sweet Jar bundle. I've been wanting to play with this set for a while. I must admit the best part is creating the little jars using the sweet jar builder punch! 



I wasn't sure where to start because I don't have any Arch Dies! The sketch really helped me build up my crafting mojo. Here's my take on the sketch.  I also decorated the envelope to match the card. 




Thanks for visiting my blog, now let's head to the next person on the carousel and see what they shared.  


If you're just tiptoeing into the dazzling universe of stamping or crafting solo without a crafty sidekick...hold onto your paper snips, because I'm here to be your creative co-pilot on this colorful escapade

ICS Blog Hop Christmas is Coming

 

Hello and welcome to December ICS Blog Hop!

This month, we're spotlighting "Christmas is Coming" with some Stampin' Up crafting Fun!! Stampin' Up has huge selection of Christmas themed product. When I think of Christmas, I always think about all the great and wonderful Christmas time with family and friends.  Last year Stampin' Up added the Quick and Easy Ephemera products and they did the same thing again for this year. I'll be showcasing how I use some of the products to make this card. I decided to use the "Christmas Time Tags & More" plus the "Greetings for You" ephemera pack. 




I love how these products make crafting fun and easy! I was able to make at least eight cards with these products. I decided to add a strip of real red cardstock under the gold and white sentiment to help make everything complete.
