Double D - Let It Snow

Dear Ones~
This time over at Double D the theme is LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW. How appropriate, it's snowing as I write this. Not sure I'm happy about it either....lol.

Here is the Mood Board provided for our inspiration:

And here's what I created:

I recently watched THIS video by Tina Zink called Emboss Resist Spotlight. It looked like so much fun I had to try it. It was easy to do, but I think the results are FABULOUS. Here I used a stamp set by Stampin' Up called Snow is Glistening, and GKD Tranquil Teal Ink. I attached some sequins and filled them with  Crystal Stickles for a sparkly accent.

Here are the Ingredients:
GKD White Heavy Weight Card Stock
Stampin' Up Snow Is Glistening Stamp Set
GKD Tranquil Teal Ink
GKD Fine Detail Embossing Powder
Sequins and Stickles

I invite you to hop on over to Double D Challenges and see what the other designers have created. And if you play along, you could win this awesome die.
 
Thanks for stopping by, I hope you are having a great week. Christmas is right around the corner now. I hope you aren't so busy that you can't enjoy the fun and fellowship of the season. Don't forget to swing by Double D and check us out.  Oh, and I so appreciate your lovely comments!!!

Double D - Run, Run Rudolph

Dear Ones~
This time over at Double D we are using DEER on our card. Any kind of deer will do, it does not have to be Christmas. Here is the Mood Board provided for our inspiration:

And here is my card:

This card has several layers. The background was done by inking up a Stampin' Up embossing folder with a couple of different colors of Distress Ink and running it through my Big Shot. Then I die cut the oval with the Memory Box Woodland Oval die and mounted it over the dry embossed background with Fun Foam for more dimension. It has trees inside the oval, very pretty. Finally I die cut the deer from Dee's Distinctive Deer dies and layered them on top. I love the white on white look with the color in the background.

Here are the Ingredients:
GKD White Heavy Weight Card
SU Woodland Texture Embossing Folder
Chipped Sapphire and Dusty Concord Distress Inks
Memory Box Woodland Oval Die
Dee's Distinctive Deer 1 & 2 Dies

You really should hop on over to Double D Challenges and see what the other designers have created. And if you play along, you could win this awesome die set.
 
Thanks for stopping by, I hope you are having a great week. As I write this we are in the first week of December. Christmas will be here before we know it.....happy holidays!!!!
