JOY OF SETS TIC TAC TOE #JOSTTT012

Wow - we are at number 12 in our Joy of Sets challenge - what a great year it has been. I want to thank all my Design Team members who have been with me all year and provided you all with some fabulous inspiration.  Our Challenge this month has been chosen by all of us - we all had a square each and I hope you enjoy joining in with us - hopefully you will be able to set aside a few moments to craft during this busy month.

My card uses the gorgeous set form Sunny Studios called Holiday Style - those bells really shine and they are just inks - greys and blacks. The bells are three step stamping and it is magical once you add the last black ink to see how they shine.  The Christmas branch is also from the same set and has been stamped in SU Old Olive, with some darker green down the middle of the branch and a touch of Tim Holtz Forest Moss sponged over the top.  I added some red and white ribbon to the bells and some red rhinestones.   The sentiment is from the same set.

Joy of Sets is my Facebook Group with members all over the world - we offer challenges, RAK's, birthday RAK's, swaps and all manner of fun things to get you crafting.  Why not come and join our group in the New Year?  

I would like to wish everyone who has joined in with us a Very Merry Christmas and see you all in 2020.


I'm also adding this into the Time Out Challenge ~150 - Merry and Cheerful

JOY OF SETS TIC TAC TOE #JOSTTT011

Another month's challenge over at our Tic Tac Toe Challenge blog - our grid this month has been chosen by Anne Marie Maclean

I went with the top line of CAS, winter and heat emboss.  I used the gorgeous stamp set from Sunny Studio Holiday Style which has this fabulous bell stamp.  It looks as though it has been embossed but it's a three set stamp and it's all done with the magic of the inks.  I used some silver embossing powder for the branch and added some liquid pearls in pewter.  I added a touch of silver ribbon to hang the bell from - the sentiment also embossed is from this lovely set.

ONE CORNER CAS CARD

The challenge over at AAA Cards #151  this week is One Corner Cas Card 





I decided to make another Christmas card - you can never have too many!  I wanted to use the Holiday Style set from Sunny Studio and forced myself to not use that gorgeous bell!  I stamped the branch with some Ranger Adirondack Earth Tones in Oregano and added some Chocolate Chip from SU with a marker pen to the branch stem.  I also added a touch of Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Shabby Shutters with a sponge dauber among the leaves.  I used Stampin Up Real Red and Cherry Cobbler to make the ornament and the same colours for the bow.  I added some Dazzling Diamonds to make it shine.  The sentiment which comes with the set was simply inked in Cherry Cobbler.
