Little Witch in All of Us

Hi Crafty Friends,
How cute is this little witch ghost brewing up some potion from Ink N' Splatter's Ghoul Friends Stamp Set. I love her hat with the bow. I used Ink N' Splatter's Boo-tastic 6x6 Paper Pad for my background. The patterns are so fun!

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: What would you like to be able to brew yourself and not buy?
A: Me? Coffee because it would save me a lot of money

Nordic Snowmen Holidays

Hi Crafty Friend,
This is my second Christmas card this month to inspire you to get a jump start on your Holiday Cards! Poppy Stamps Nordic Wonderland Collection makes it easy to create elegant and whimsical cards. My card today features the Nordic Snowmen.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: Which snowman do you like better Poppy Stamp Sweet Nordic Snowman (left) or Happy Nordic Snowman (right)?
A: Me? I like the Sweet Nordic Snowman

Step 1: I started my card by putting together the snowman dies with Poppy Stamp Gladiola 6x6 Paper Pad for the pattern pieces and Poppy Stamps Twilight Purple Paper Pad. Then I die cut the Poppy Stamps Nordic Wispy Trees to match the snowman's outfits.

Step 2: Next, I used purple and gold plaid paper from Memory Box Gladiola Plaid 6x6 Paper Pad for my background and Poppy Stamps Nordic Lavish Border Dies as my snow.

Step 3: I arranged the snowmen and trees across the bottom of the card and added the Poppy Stamps Happy Holidays Moonlight Script Die at the top.

Ho-Ho-Holidays

Hi Crafty Friends,
I was inspired by Lawn Fawnatics #182 Sightseeing for these two Christmas Cards. Can you tell where I want to go? I want to visit Santa at the North Pole. And I would love a sleigh ride with his deer while I'm there. For my first card, I used the hats from the Lawn Fawn Little Snow Globe Dog Stamp Set and put little gems on the reindeer hat for "Rudolph". For my second card, I used Lawn Fawn Celebrate Santa Stamp Set with Lawn Fawn Snow Globe Die to make a shiny metallic shaker. The background is foiled with Gina K Snowflake Toner Sheet.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: Have you ever been to one of the poles?
A: Me? No
