Paper Smooches SPARKS: December Picture Perfect challenge

Hello, friends:}

Today we start another weekly challenge over at Paper Smooches SPARKS blog!! This week is a Picture Perfect challenge.  

This week we are inspired by the following picture:

Picture: Credit

I found inspiration with the stacked rocks/items, silver, and kind of simplicity of the photo/jewelry design (I know that stacked rock design wasn't easy to put together... but it made me think of a simple card design). And get this---- I used ONLY ONE die set!

I used the Paper Smooches Christmas Words die set. I really wanted to make the sentiment pop so I used white on white cardstock except for the word "Christ". Jesus is the reason:) I also used Imagine Crafts Wedding Dress pico embellisher to outline the die cut words. LOVE it! 

That's it for me today--but be sure to stop by the other Paper Smooches SPARKS DT members' blogs and leave them some love.

Virtual Smooches: Reindeer Tags 3 Ways

Hello, friends:}

Today is my day to share a video over on the  Paper Smooches video blog- Virtual Smooches! 

I'm continuing my Christmas CAS series... and wanted to share how to create a reindeer tag 3 different ways! 

Truth be told... I created 3 different versions because the first one was WAY TOO SIMPLE! The second tag was better but just needed one more detail! LOL! 

Here's a sneak peek of my video-- this is the 3rd version of the tag:

Virtual Smooches: Christmas CAS (part 1) Snowflake Wreath card

Hello, friends:}

Today is my day to share a video over on the  Paper Smooches video blog- Virtual Smooches! 

I'm going to do my best to make at least 3 or 4 Christmas creations this year...so I'm starting a NEW series on the VS blog called "Christmas CAS". 

I never have time...so I need something simple during the holiday season! LOL! 

I've created a simple glittered snowflake wreath card after being inspired by THIS photo. I think that this card could be mass produced-- SUPER simple!
