Guest Designer Leslie!

Hey crafty friends! Guest designer Leslie aka @lesdep is here taking over the blog today with more Christmas in July inspiration! I've been looking through my Jaded Blossom stash and was so excited to find these gingerbread people from the Gnome Dies: Gingerbread Add On are the perfect size for the new Hot Air Balloon die. Add in the lights and tree tops from the Build a Christmas Tree dies and you have the perfect Holiday Adventure card!


I also used the Christmas Blessings Stamp set and the Cloud stencil to complete this card. Check out how I made it here: https://youtu.be/MNlFTDfir7g

Have a great day!

Mrs. Claus Baking Co.

Hi everyone and happy Tuesday!

Stacey from Stacey's Creative Corner here and keeping with the "Christmas in July" mindset that I am currently in, I decided to make a Christmas card to add to my stash for this upcoming holiday season to share with you. 

Here is a look at the card that I created:


Isn't this Mrs. Claus the sweetest? I just think she is so adorable!
I created my card by using the Scallop Rectangle Dies 2 and cutting out two pieces of patterned paper. I cut down the striped patterned paper into a 1.75" strip and adhered it to my other piece of patterned paper before adding them to my white A2 card base. I cut out a smaller scallop by using the Scallop Rectangle Dies 2 once again and stamped my greeting from the Mrs. Claus Baking Co. stamp set into the bottom right corner. I added some doodling and then popped up the sentiment piece onto my card with foam tape. I stamped Mrs. Claus with some Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored her with my Copic markers. I fussy cut her out and added her to my sentiment panel. I added some holly from the Christmas Dies and some more doodling to the perimeter of my card to complete the look. 


I added just a touch of sparkle to her hair bow and to the center of the heart cookie. 

One Christmas card down, many more to go haha!


Thank you so much for stopping by today and taking a look at my latest creation!
I really appreciate it!
I hope you have a great crafty day!
