Christmas Card Challenge # 26 - Candy Canes.

Welcome to a new Christmas Card Challenge!

 

This week we have a super sweet theme for you:

 

 

Candy Canes!

 

This is my take: 

 

I've chosed these super-cute koala digi stamps from Dearie Dolls which I colored with Copics and glitter. I went for tags this week (I printed them too small to use them on a card...).

 

As usual, I invite you to have a look at my teamies creations which you'll find here on the blog as usual.

 

Sadly, this is our last challenge.

 

I've created one card each week since June 2013 and I'll surely miss my Sunday posts. 

 

I'd like to thank all those who commented and appreciated my cards, those who entered our challenges and also thank you teamies! It's been great working with you all!

Sweet Little Heart Tags.

Good morning!

 

I'm here today to show you some new tags I've just finished:

 

 

These cute girls and angels are from Dearie Dolls and I thought they were perfect to be used in some metallic heart tags I had in my stash.

 

I've colored them with Copics and made different tags for various occasions: Get Well, Thank You and I Love You, perfect to be added to a bunch of flowers or a chocolate box!

 

In detail:

 

 

They'll be soon in my shop if you are interested.

Tags.

I sometimes put my cards aside to make tags.

I love to make them, to prepare the piles of things I need to assemble my tags and I love to work in a sort of "mass production".

A few days ago I made these ones:

I first chose the image: I wanted to use the little mouse on the right and then I decided I needed to pair her with another image to make a set. They were both free from Dearie Dolls a while ago. I used a textured pink cardstock for the tag (I also made a blue version), a paper doily ribbon and a paper green stripe. Some snow dots made with paint and lots of glitter give the final touch.

Simple and oh... so cute!

A Bit Sad...

After watching her stamps for a while, last February I decided to treat myself with one of her images. Last week, I finally had an idea on how to use this stamp on a card and I created this:

I am talking about Dearie Dolls digi stamps: lovely dolls, bunnies, girls...

Just after Easter Sunday, I decided I had some time to spend browsing through her store and treat myself with some new digis...

But...

Both shops were disapeared from the web.

I contacted Mary Ellen, the creator, and she confirmed that her shops are closed now but hopefully they'll re-open soon.

The girl on the card reminds me of my daughter and I chose it with her. She loves to cook with me or with her dad and this image is just perfect for her.

When I bought it I already had in mind the way I'd have colored her dress: red and white! Then I decided to go for a new kraft paper in order to be able to enter my card in a Challenge I love but I had never entered before, That's Crafty Challenge # 60 down at The Spotted Chick blog.

I used a Doodlebug paper from the Sweet Cakes Collection (I love it, it's been terrible to use it for my card but I can't keep it forever without purpose, right?), a red ribbon and a fork charm I bought the other day for this card (I also wanted a spoon charm but I couldn't find it!).

Well, I love it and I hope Dearie Dolls will be back soon!
