Come Adore Him

Hello, Pretty Cute Stamp fans! Can you believe it is December? Where does the time go? Before we know it, Christmas will be here!

 

Today, I am showcasing the holiday sets, Nativity 1 and Nativity 2. The simple image and cute sentiment make it easy to create this CAS card.

 

To start this card, I stamped the image of baby Jesus in the center of the card. I colored in the image with a variety of markers. Also added a shadow effect with a gray marker. The sentiment is stamped at the bottom of the card. A few sequins are added to the card and the bottom corner. 

 

Thank you for stopping by!

Using Sentiments As Focal Images!

Karla here today, and I sure hope all of my US friends had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend! We put up our tree and decorated for Christmas on Friday while we listened to Christmas music and had some very yummy snacks!

I'm sharing these cute cards and boxes today, and I wanted to let you know how I made them. I've been using a lot of the Heidi Swapp Believe paper this year and have also been enjoying the One Sheet Wonder video instructions by Angie at My Chic'n Scratch. I love that you can take one sheet of patterned paper and some cardstock to create all these projects!!

I used the sentiments from the Nativity 1 and Nativity 2 stamp sets, as well as one on the inside of my card (bottom photo) from the Oh, Christmas Tree set, by Pretty Cute Stamps as my focal images. They are beautiful sentiments and are printed in wonderful fonts. I absolutely love the adorable images, but I really wanted to focus on these amazing sentiments this time!

I love these cute little folded bags! The video link above shows you how to cut and fold all the pieces using just a scoring board and cutter. I love how CAS the cards are and even though I usually struggle with that style of card I am really happy with how they turned out. I think the sentiments really show up using these layouts. Below each card (bottom row) I've shown the coordinating inside sentiment.

Thanks so much for joining me today! Don't forget to check out our Gift Giving Challenge at this month and you could win yourself a fabulous gift certificate!

PCS Nativity Magnetic Board

 Hello, stamping friends! I am stepping out of my comfort zone and using stamps for a non-card project! I am excited to show you my Pretty Cute Stamps Nativity Magnetic Board!

 

I am using the Pretty Cute Stamps Nativity 1 and Nativity 2 stamp sets for this project!

 

With Christmas around the corner, times are going to get busy! Sometimes the Christmas time is full of parties and family get-togethers.  During this special time of the year, we sometimes forget the true meaning of Christmas! I created this magnetic scene to help explain the Christmas Story to the little kiddos.

 

And you can change the scene as the storytelling continues.

I made a trip to the dollar tree and bought a small baking sheet and a pack of laminating cards.

 Using sheets of 12x12 cardstock, I created the background scene and attached to the baking sheet.

 It is time to stamp and color in the different images. Once I finished, I cut them out and placed them into the laminated sheets. Cut the images out and attach a magnet to the back of each piece.

 

Now it is time to tell the story!

 

 Thank you for stopping by today!
