This month Sin City Stamps partnered with Cottonwood Arts . I love CA's canvases and I've enjoyed making projects with them during the last months. Let's take a look at a set of butterfly canvases I presented separately, but that were designed to go together as a set. I used a stamp set called Love of Butterflies on both projects. It's a plate of rubber you can find on Sin City Stamps store! There are step by step tutorials available for both canvases. Visit my snapguide page or Sin City Stamps blog to check them out! Hope you are inspired to get some Cottonwood Arts canvases or journals to try out some mixed media projects. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Ann Butler Designs has partnered with Enviromental Technologies and the team has been busy creating projects using resin pieces and more that are being featured on ETI's  blog !

TUTORIAL I have a complete tutorial for you to check out, were I show you how I made my canvas, step by step! CLICK HERE to check it out! On the other hand, I want to take a minute to remember and honor my father... Today is a very special day since it would have been my father's birthday if he were alive. We miss him every single day! May the Lord continue to bless him. Thanks so much for stopping by! I'd like to submit my canvas to: City Crafter - Favorite Techniques (mixed media layering)

A new challenge is up at Classy Cards 'n Such: Christmas Brights, and I decided to mix a few patterns with bright colors to create my card this week! I certainly went a little CAS with this one! I used Spellbinders dies mostly to make my card. I altered some Fancy Label Tags Two die cuts, cut them in half and used them as borders, adhering them to the back of the yellow block. I mixed two different snowflake sets to create that large snowflake. The largest snowflake was die cut with the Snowflake Pendant set from Spellbinders and the smallest one was cut with the Snowflake set from Stampendous. I double mounted the snowflakes to give them more dimension and embellished them with some Baby Rhinestones Silver.

I have a Christmas tag to share with you today, made with Ewe-N-Me Printables' Cocoa/Treat Envelope - Holiday Kris 101. I love this vintage Santa image. I printed the Holiday Kris 101 image and die cut the Santa using a label die with a delicate border. I die cut a second label from metallic embossed cardstock in cream. I mounted the Santa image to the metallic die cut and then adhered a white cardstock label on the back too, to add a message. Finally I added glitter glue to the Christmas tree on the image, trying not to wet the paper too much. This framed Santa would certainly look great on a card too! I invite you to experiment with this lovely vintage file and find out what you can come up with! Thanks so much for stopping by.

Today I want to share with you a cute pink Christmas card! I thought I'd make a girly Christmas card to keep on my stash since I know there may be a Christmas newborn baby, or also a girl I could give this card to with a girly gift this year. I decided to focus on the lovely Stardream Rose Quartz metallic cardstock, so I die cut a layer and some filigree embellishments from it. I used white leather textured cardstock for my cardbase and top layer, which I die cut using A2 Matting Basics A . I die cut some ornament shaped windows on the top layer with Spellbinders Holiday Tags. I also added a lattice die cut from Heavyweight Vellum with Spellbinders Fancy Lattice and adhered it to the back of the top layer. Next, I attached the pink filigree ornaments to the windows using some Tombow Mono Multi Glue . Before mounting it all to my card base I added a cute tule bow and pink ribbon. To finish the clean and cute design I added large pearls and Baby Rhinestones - Silver . I...

Today we are taking a look back at Our Daily Bread Designs November Release. As you may know already I've been invited to join ODBD this month as a guest designer. I've been delighted with all your kind and encouraging comments, and of course I'll have a wonderful time designing with ODBD's Splendorous Stars Christmas Collection. Here is a card and gift box set I made for today: I wanted to create a delicate card, so I die cut the card base using the Flourished Star Pattern frame. I added a piece of lilac ribbon around the front of the card and adhered a double bow embellished with a couple of stars. I added a large sentiment, which I stamped and heat embossed in silver on a label die cut. To add contrast, I sponged the label with Memento Lulu Lavender ink. I heat embossed in silver the largest star with a large patterned star stamp. This star stamp didn't precisely coordinate with the size of the star die, but it covered the die cut completely, and m...
