Birthday Presents

Hi Crafty Friends,
I have a CAS card for you today featuring Poppy Stamps Frilly Gifts Die 2699. I made a present in every color of the rainbow with a light shade for the bow and darker shade for the present. I framed these presents with the Poppy Stamps Scallop Pinpoint Frame Dies 2751.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: What present would you like for your birthday this year?
A: Me? A nice set of cooling sheets

Step #1: I die cut the Frilly Gifts in pink, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Then, I embossed the center of the Pinpoint Frames die to give my card some texture and mounted the scallop framed and center on my card base.
Step #2: I arranged my presents in rainbow order on the center of my card. Then I finished my card with a  birthday sentiment from Poppy Stamps Birthday Banners Stamp and Die Set.

Gimmie Some Peppermints

Hi Crafty Friends,
I was inspired by Jaded Blossom's February Challenge Stencil. For this cute peppermint/candy cane gnome card. I stenciled the background with Jaded Blossom Peppermint Stencil and added the Jaded Blossom Peppermint Candy die in the corner. The little gnome is Jaded Blossom Gnome Dies with Jaded Blossom Christmas Add-On 1 Dies. The sweet sentiment is Jaded Blossom Gnome Baked Stamp Set. The background dies are Jaded Blossom Scallop Rectangles. I decided to go with peppermints for Christmas Kickstart Challenge #107 A Christmas Sing Along with Owl City Peppermint Winter.
