Double D - Snuggle Up, Buttercup

Dear Ones~
This time over at Double D we are snuggling up with a warm and cozy theme. Here is a Mood Board for our inspiration:
And here is my card:
I used a Stampin' Up 3-D embossing folder called Cable Knit for the background on this card. It's really fabulous and looks just like a cable knit sweater. I also used some GKD stamps, and Warm Cocoa Ink for a cozy feel.



Here are the Ingredients:
PTI Rustic Cream Card  
GKD Warm Cocoa Card
SU Cable Knit EF
GKD Nordic Winter Stamps
GKD Fabulous Holiday Filler Stamps
Stash Ribbon

Mod Squad Challenge - Modern Grid

Dear Ones~
It's my turn to host again over at the Mod Squad Challenge. I have chosen to do a Modern Grid. This technique is very easy. First, create an image on your cardstock panel. Then with a ruler, draw grid lines, skipping over the focal image. This makes the focal look as if it is popped up against the background grid. After you have drawn your grid you can decorate the squares any way you like.

STV - Square Up

Dear Ones~
This sweet little card has been created for the November Release Challenge over at Stamp TV. Gina has challenged us to make a square card. One of my favorite things to do.

Here's what I created:
I just love this cute little 4 1/2 square card. I used Warm Cocoa card stock and ink, and found that sweet little gingerbread man button in my stash. I used the Wreath Builder Stencil and the stamp set by Claire Brennan called Nordic Winter. So much fun to make this card.

Here are the Ingredients:
GKD Warm Cocoa and Sandy Beach Card Stock
PTI Rustic Cream Card Stock
GKD Warm Cocoa Ink
Spellbinders Scalloped Square Die
GKD Nordic Winter Stamp Set
GKD Wreath Builder Stencil
Stash Gingerbread Man Button
Stash Twine
Judy Dots

Well, most of the leaves have fallen from the trees and Daylight Savings Time is about to end, so it will be getting dark about 6 pm. Time to settle in for winter and enjoy playing in my craft room. Hope you can find some time to do that too. And maybe make a grilled cheese sandwich to go with a cup of tomato soup.

Thanks for stopping by, I always adore your wonderful comments.
