Merry Christmas with Newton's Nook Fireside Friends

Hello and welcome!

I had a little time to play in the cave today and made this fun Christmas card with one of my favorite dog/cat images from Newton's Nook.  The sentiment is also from another set by Newton's Nook called Beautiful Baubles.  The plaid paper is from Papertrey Ink and it was used both for a mat and paper piecing the dog/cat bed.  The images were stamped in Gina K. Designs Amalgam ink and colored with a variety of alcohol markers.  There is sparkle pen on the fire flames and the red bow.

I have linked my supplies below.  

Here's a close look at those cute critters:

And a closer look at the sparkle on the fire and bow:

I'd love to hear what you think of this card so feel free to leave me a comment below.

You Are Amazing - Happy Birthday Circles with Pinkfresh Studio

Hello and welcome!

I have a birthday card made with a brand new to me die set from Pinkfresh Studio that I recently purchased from Simon Says Stamp.  It's called "Floral Squares." 

I've been wanting this die set for a long time, since I saw several lovely cards made with it.  It's such a cool set because you get 6 different dies in it and they are perfect for CAS creations, which I make a lot of!  It's also my first time to enter the challenge over at Pinkfresh Studio too.  Here's a look at their challenge graphic:

This month theme is Circles, so I used lots of circles on my card:

die cuts, water droplet gems, and actual water droplets on the Distress Oxide inks.

I make so many very clean and simple cards that I wanted to add a little more to this one, so I covered more of the white space.  Originally I only had the biggest circle on the card and that was going to be it for the card.  I really liked it that way, but I pushed myself to add more to it, and for me, that is a very hard thing to do! I actually don't like it as well with all the covered up white space, but that's me - I love me some clean and simple creations!

The sentiments are from Simon Says Stamp's "You Matter" stamp set.

Here's another look at my card:
