  Hi Everyone!


I am here to share a new Simon Says Stamp Card Kit Project !
This time with the December 2021 kit!



Thee bg panel is embossed using SSS wonderful SCANDINAVIAN CHRISTMAS . I attached my panel to another panel on a cardbase. I then cut out one of the beautiful images from the cover on the paper pad from the kit. And the sentiment is from the stamp set in the kit.

LawnFawnatics Challenge # 115 Happy New Year

Hi Everyone!

I'm here to share a card for the new Lawn Fawnatics Challenge. This time our theme is Happy New Year and we also have a mood board to inspire you! This is my take:





I made a cardbase which I covered with a black cardstock scalloped frame. I cut a panel from black cardstock and used SNOWY SKY to emboss (embossing ink) the smaller dots in gold. When I was done I still wanted more gold and glitter so I sapttered on some gold watercolor. I then diecut, stamped and embossed my centre circle. and added some diecut and colored flowers.

Make sure to pop over to the Lawn Fawnatics blog for lots of wonderful inspiration from my talented teamies and for all the info you need to play along!  By entering a card you have the chance of winning a 25 $ gift card to the Lawn Fawn Store !
