December Daily: Days 11-15

The December Daily continues with Pages 11 through to 15 - thank you for letting me share. Just a quick reminder that the base of my December Daily is the Simple Stories line. I raided my stash for all other doo-dads which are all available in the Scrap Shotz store.

I would love for you to hook me up to your December Daily.

December Daily: Catch-up

There was lots and lots of goings on before Christmas and we have enjoyed the beauty of Rosie's cards. Let me check in to see how your December Daily is going. Below are my days 6 through 10. (I used Simple Stories throughout my December Daily.)

How is your December Daily faring?

Merry Christmas!

On behalf of Scrap Shotz, we wish all our loyal readers, forum members and friends a very Merry Christmas. May you be blessed with love and happiness from your friends and family.

Christmas Inspiration - Embossing

Look at this beautiful card created by Rosie. I find the image breathtaking.

From Rosie..."I love getting out my embossing gun at Christmas time although I have not used it as much this year as I've fallen hard for Glitter Ritz ;)) and peel off stickers. If you're a kit subscriber the stamp set this stamp is from was one of your December kit add on choices and not surprisingly it is out of stock. Contact Sandy to find out if any more will be in stock. I kept this simple again, neutral coloured card stock and red embossing powder. Done in under 10 minutes!"

Thank you for the inspiration Rosie!

Christmas Inspiration - Dies, Dies, Dies

Dies, dies, dies...how many do you have? Do you find multiple ways to use your dies? Today's inspiration shows a stunning card using a few dies, namely, Tim Holtz Tattered Poinsettia die and Dee's Distinctively Dies Wreath Builder die. 

Rosie used the  Canvas Corp Naughty or Nice stamps on kraft paper, the Tim Holtz Tattered Poinsettia die, Dee's Distinctively Dies Wreath builder die and Want2Scrap red rhinestones. She cut the poinsettia using the Tim Holtz die and glimmer misted the pieces with Tattered Angels Chalkboard mist,  Mr.Huey spray Blizzard, Shine and opaque white. Then the poinsettia layers were glued, starting with the largest to the smallest together and then allowed to dry. 

The poinsettia flower was then glued to the card base, adding wreath leaves under the flower. The sentiment was then stamped directly onto the card base. Gems were added as embellishments.

Stunning! Absolutely stunning!

Christmas Inspiration - Elizabeth Craft Designs and Copics

I have found another classically beautiful, yet quick and easy to make. The card is displayed below.

Rosie used the fantastic Elizabeth Craft Design peel off stickers available in the store.  Sandy has a great selection and if you still have a few Christmas cards to whip up they go very quickly using these stickers. Rosie used the silver poinsettia peel offs and followed Carolyn Waldschmidt's great instructions in this blog post. The flowers were coloured with Copic markers R27 and R39 and YG06 is used as the flower centers. The sentiment is a Making Memories rub on from my stash and in no time you have a beautiful card!" 

Another beautiful card which inspires us - thank you Rosie!

Christmas Inspiration - Masks

1, 2, 3...all done!!! Check out this fabulous card created by Rosie.

It has a simple yet stunning design and is quick to complete. Rosie adhered the mask to the cardstock with some repositionable adhesive, inked with Tim Holtz Festive Berries distress ink, trimmed and matted on white card stock then adhered to the green card base. Then Rosie adhered strips of red card stock to mimic ribbon on a present and matted the stamped sentiment from my stash and adhered to the card front. Lastly, she sprinkled Studio Calico wood stars from my stash on the inked background.  Studio Calico Mistable Thickers can also be used are are available in the store.
