Merry Kissmas!

Happy Wednesday! Hope you're all having a great week so far and for those of you here in the US, hope your Thanksgiving preparations are going well! I'm looking forward to some yummy food and family time and hope you all have a great time! I have a quick card to share with you today. The sketch is from this week's SCS Sketch Challenge, (SC256) and I'm using my newly arrived {ippity} set called Kissmas & Mistletoe. This is also a sneak peek into my Season Saturdays project and blog candy...so make sure to check back then! Now onto my card and here it is, Merry Kissmas!

 

I wanted to make a CAS card with this sketch and really show off the adorable tree that is part of this set. In the middle I added some chunky glitter around the cut out center and sewed the yummy designer paper onto the card base. 

The tree is stamped on Cosmo Cricket's Nutmeg paper pad, cut out, and finished off with a halfback pearl. The sentiment is stamped onto kraft card stock, punch out with Large Oval punch and layered onto a scallop oval punch piece - around both edges I added some dashes. I finished off this piece with a halfback pearl on the heart. I adhered it to the card front and made it look like it was hanging from the ribbon/button piece.

HSE CIC34

Happy Sunday and you know what that means - Hope Stamps Eternal Cupcake Inspiration Challenge (CIC34). I love the fact that is getting colder and colder out and Rachel selected the perfect cupcake with such rich rich colors for us to draw inspiration from. Here it is.

 

I wanted to color in the sweet little image from Stampavie called Mouse on Orange Daisy and thought it was perfect to use for today's challenge.

I colored the image in with Copics, cut it out with Curved Rectangles Nestabilities, and sponged it. 

The base of the card is Kraft card stock and I adhered a slightly smaller piece of designer paper from the Cosmo Cricket's Nutmeg Paper Pad. I adhered the cut out image to the card front with dimensionals and tied some ribbon towards the bottom of the card front. To finish off the card I adhered some buttons.

Now check out what the rest of the Sweeties have come up with.
