Merry Monday Christmas Challenge #136
Today I’m playing along with the Merry Monday Challenge #136 – using the colors red, green and white.
For my card, I used the Die-namites Fancy Birdhouses die to cut white, green and red cardstock. I used a Taylored Expressions die to cut the bird. The sentiment is from My Favorite Things.
It’s rainy and dark here in the PNW – this color combination really cheers me up!
MFT Stamps – Warmest Wishes
Today, I’m sharing a card featuring the new Warmest Wishes stamp set from My Favorite Things in a color combination I don’t think I’ve ever used before!
I Copic-colored the adorable girl from the set, pairing her with a circle stamped and heat embossed with the Star Background and a sentiment from Cheerful Christmas Greetings. The white panel was cut with the stitched die in the Blueprints 13 set. (One of my most used dies!) In terms of the colors, I found that the green Copics blended well. I first tried using shades of red for her coat, but I was much happier with the results using green. One fun thing about coloring – you can try as many different combinations as you heart desires!

The Cutting Edge Challenge #15
It’s time for another Cutting Edge Challenge! Our inspiration this week is an amazing card created by Design Team member Amy Kolling.
Here’s my take on her card.
I was inspired by Amy’s colors, the snowflake motif and the diagonal lines.
I cut the chevrons with the Triple Chevies Confetti Cuts die and adhered them to the white cardstock base. I stamped and heat embossed a sentiment from Seasonal Sentiments and added silver foil snowflakes, cut with one of the dies in the Let It Snow Confetti Cuts set.
