My Favorite Things Guest Designer .....YAY !!!

Hello everyone! 

Happy Thursday!  I am super excited, honored, and thankful to be 

today's guest designer on the My Favorite Things blog!! 

I can not thank My Favorite Things 

enough for this amazing opportunity! 

It is a dream come true! 

I created this card to share with you using two products from the brand new

release. Town Bears stamp set and. It is such an adorable set. 

I began by die cutting the base of my card using Die-namics

Stitched Rectangle dies. I used the largest one. 

I then stamped the bear, trees, and houses using MFT Hybrid Ink 

in the color Black Licorice.  I created masks for the images 

in order to create a patterned background. 

After taking off all of the masking (favorite part when creating these types of cards)

I colored my images using Copic markers. 

For the greens in the trees, I used G99, 94, YG95, YG67, YG17, YG13,

YG03, YG21. For the trunk of the trees, I used E47, 44, and 41. 

For the navy areas I used, B99, B95,  B93, and B0000.

For my bear, I began with YR27, YR24, YR21, and YR20

(I used these colors for the rust toned areas as well). 

I then went over the bear using E47, E44, E55, E35, and E31.

I loved how the background came out. I wanted to make my little bear standout a bit more, I decided to die cut another piece of cardstock using the same pale

gray color with the Die-namics Stitched Tag-Corner Square STAX. 

I stamped the bear and the trees once again and colored them using

the same colors from the background. 

I glued the finished piece to the base of my card. 

My card was finished. 

I also have the treat box I created for my advent calendar to share with you. 

For today's box I used the same file from the online Silhouette store. 

It is the Favor Box by Lori Whitlock design ID# 187420

I used the adorable Town Bears stamp set again. 

I used the same color combinations of Copic as I did for yesterday's box,

you can find the ones I used here. 

For the 11 I used the Pop-Up Numbers Die-namics set. 

I truly loved creating with this set. 

I hope you enjoy and feel inspired to create.

Thank you so much for stopping by. 

Wishing you a wonderful and Blessed day

CDD Social Media Mood Board Challenge December 2017 ....

Happy Wednesday everyone!

I am so happy to be stopping by today...

I feel as if I haven't crafted in a while. 

It has been a bit busy for me and I have to be honest 

I feel as though my crafty mojo took a mini vacation, lol. 

I am happy to say that today (thank you GOD) I felt creative

and actually had ideas!!  YAY!!! 

For today I created this treat box as part of my Advent Calendar. 

I love the Winter Village Digital stamp set from Craftin Desert Divas. 

From the moment Tara showed us this set, I knew I would love creating

with it. 

I began by creating a scene onto my favor box die cut file. 

This box is from the online Silhouette store
Favor Box by Lori Whitlock
design ID# 187420.

I cut out my scene and colored it in using Copic markers. 

For my colors, I was inspired by our current

 CDD Monthly Social Media Mood Board Challenge: 

I hope you will join us, create something and share with us on the CDD Gallery. 

I used my all time go to red combination R46, R27, R17, and R05. 

I added a bit of R89 and E18 to deepen the shadow areas. 

For the green areas, I used G99, G94, YG17, and YG03.

I then added my 'snow' using my Uni-Ball white pen. 

Here is how it looked once I finished coloring. 

I love how easy it was to create. 

I hope you enjoy. 

Than you so much for taking the time to stop by. 

Wishing you a wonderful and Blessed day.
