Today we are sharing "Anything Goes" using Concord&9th products. If you know me, I love their products a lot.


I used the Blossom Die as my starting point. I really love this die and how it can be used in a variety of ways.

Merry and Bright: RG Lumberjack

Hello Everyone!
Did you check out the AWESOME Deals and Bundle Deals by Richard? If not, you MUST check it out HERE on the RG youtube chanel. Today, I made a card using some products from the Deal of the Week "Gift for You Bundle" 

Here is how my card looks


And here are some steps for you.
Cut the tag using Whip Cream cardstock. Apply clear embossing ink to the edges and emboss using FSJ Gold embossing powder.
Flick some FSJ Turbo Teal Silk and let it dry.
Apply the acrylic paints to the Pine Tree Wood Chip. Let dry.
Make cardbase using Whip Cream cardstock.
Cut a mat layer from Whip Cream cardstock and emboss it using FSJ Bubble Bubble stencil for some snowy trxture. Mat this layer using FSJ Turbo Teal cardstock.
Adhere the Pine tree to the tag and stamp the sentiment.
Adhere the FSJ Star-fetti and apply some clear glitter spray using a brush.
Adhere a piece of FSJ Gold designer paper behind the tag and using some liquid adhesive adhere it to the white mat layer.

Here is another view for you.


And here is a close-up to see all the sparkle and subtle shine.


I really like how festive the wooden chip tree look. Hope you got inspired. Do check out the Bundle deals. They really are great value :)

Timber Scene: RG Lumberjack

Hello Everyone!
Did you check out the AWESOME Deals and Bundle Deals by Richard? If not, you MUST check it out HERE on the RG youtube chanel. He has a wonderful deal on the RG Amaze machine too. 
I am sharing a card using the Pine Tree image from the Timber Stamp/Die combo. I really like how versatile these products are. 
I had a blast creating this sunset kind of night sky. We went up in the mountains and the view just stayed with me and some time back I came across a calendar and this card came to life :)
You can check out more photos, full supply list and how I created this card HERE on the RG blog.

Merry Everything: MFT

Hello everyone! Christmas is just round the corner. I have yet to finish more Christmas cards, so today, I created a card using some My Favorite Things, products along with Tim Holtz stencils and some Nuvo products by Tonic Studios.


I die-cut some flowers and leaves and colored them using Zig Clean color real brush markers. Sponged some distress inks through the stencil using the stencil brush for a soft look. Die-cut the frame and used the Nuvo Gilding flakes to get thos wonderful texture look. Stamped the sentiment and adhered the flowers. I used some Nuvo crystal drops for the flower centers. The more I use the Nuvo products, the more I am loving them :)




Have a nice crafty day :)

Merry Christmas: Simon Says Guest Designer

Hello everyone! I am so happy and excited to be guest designing with Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge this month.

Today we are sharing Christmas cards featuring Simon Says Stamps Dies


I used the stacked stars die to create the falling stars on my card. I then adhered it to the sponged mat layer. I love the look of colors peeking through the black cardstock. This in-laid die-cutting did take a bit of effort but the results are so worth it.


Since I had this AWESOME sentiment out, I created another card. It is not on challenge theme but I couldn't stop myself. Look how adorable this cute penguin looks :)
