It's a Blog Hop with lots of Blog Candy!


Hello and welcome to 
Hiding in my Craft Room's blog hop!

This week not only do we have a challenge but we also have a lot of blog candy to give away! Our challenge this week is called "Christmas in July"... A perfect opportunity to catch up on all the Christmas card making. 



I wanted to make a nice, simple card, using traditional red, lime green and light brown. I like how nice this green looks against the red and how it matches the patterned paper, which is from one of my favorite Christmas sets from Shery K. Designs. I used leather, feuille and linen textured cardstocks. I embossed the red layer with a Cuttlebug folder and used a die from Spellbinders to cut the little deer. I find this die cut fits the design so very nicely! To finish the card I added gross grain ribbon in light brown and some small vynil stickers.

I hope I have inspired you to join our challenge this week! 

Now, let's talk giveaway please...

I have a bundle of digital goodies for you! That is right, I said bundle!  One lucky winner will receive this amazing prize:

    Like the Reindeer card, with embellishing, embossing & wonderful papers. Thank you for the comments on my daughter's artwork. My daughter graduated from Kansas City Art Institute in KC, MO in May with degrees in Art Animation & Art History and is currently looking for career/job. She has applied to Hallmark in KC,MO and will go there in Aug where they are going to showcase her senior animation film and hopefully a career/job will come from it.

Video Tutorial: Quick New Year's Card with Simple Stories & Deco Foil

I'm back with a fun and really easy to make card for the Holidays or the New Year and I have a video tutorial with Therm O Web today. I'm sure we all are rushing at the very last minute looking for tags and cards and wrapping gifts... I know I always am. That is why my latest Holiday projects have been on the quick and easy side so you can try them out if you need to! The usual theme for New Year's cards is usually monochromatic, metallic... But, what if we used colorful Holiday colors instead? Why not? Well, this time you'll see me use papers from Simple Stories Very Merry Collection. Video Tutorial This is short and sweet video tutorial where I show you how I put together this card. Really with card designing the hard part is figuring out what you want your card to look like in the end but once you have figured out what elements you'll be adding and where you will be placing them the card comes together pretty fast.
