Debi Ryan: Simple Snow Hugs

I have two cards to share with you today, both are Christmas one layer cards. If you haven't joined in the Holiday Inspiration Club yet, with one layer Christmas cards to get you ahead for this year, there's still time.

For both cards, I've used Snow Hugs, The first one I've done in greens.

Vicki: Paper piecing with Beach Babes and This N' That

Ugh! With this Polar Vortex hanging around making most of the country miserable with relentless wind, cold and snow, I can't help but "Dwell in the Possibility" of warmer weather! So, my Vintrigue selection of Rogue Redhead Designs stamps were in order for this card.  I used an image from the Beach Babes Plate and sentiment from the This N' That Plate to create this colorful and fun card.

 "Dwell in the Possibility"

Pantone's color of the year for 2014 is Radiant Orchid, not one you see often in crafting, but colors in my newest paper collection, Violet Crush from Kaisercraft.  I love this collection! The card base of white cardstock is covered with two layers of patterned paper.  The hearts are die-cut in two different sizes, with two patterns for each size.   I cut the hearts in half and pieced together the different patterns for each heart.  Next, I stamped the girl image on both white and patterned paper.  I fussy cut the dress from the patterned paper and pieced it over the cut out cardstock image.  The leaves are die-cut from a matching green paper in my scrap stash. I added a few fussy cut butterflies, pearls, the stamped sentiment tag with twine bow and some white faux stitching to complete the scene.

Helene: Christmas Paper Piecing with Relish Reading

Our new Holiday Inspiration Club has me thinking about all the wonderful things I can make ahead of time with my favorite RRD stamps.

You know I do a lot of fussy cutting so our latest Rebel challenge to show some paper piecing was calling my name.

For my patterned papers, I chose the Nontraditional Christmas digital collage sheets from My Artistic Adventures Etsy.  These included the BINGO card for my base and the tree.

The image of the woman reading in the chair is from RRD Relish Reading plate.  I stamped her on beige card and then again several times on the patterns.  After fussing cutting the chair, skirt and pillow, I pieced them all together.

I found a scrap of felt trim to anchor the chair and tree to the "floor".  Hero Arts turquoise gems on the tree, Stampin' Up snow flury die for the snowflake and an antique bingo card cover/button from my stash complete the card.  I used Ranger distress markers to edge the papers and tried to alter the red to pink on the bingo piece.

I love the nontraditional pink and turquoise colors with the vintage image.  I hope you do too.

I can't wait to see what you make for the Rebel challenge!  If you link up by  February 2, you will be in the running for a $15 US voucher to the Rogue Redhead Store.   Til then, Helene

Krisha: A Parisian Paper Piecing with Milliner Misses!

Isn't Parisian a cool description??  Since the Rogue Redhead's Rebel challenge #31 is paper piecing I had to take the challenge......right?  Actually I was over at Hobby Lobby, wondering around with my nifty 50% of one item coupon and I saw this roll of ribbon.  Well the lights flashed and the bells went off! ( and people were beginning to stare)  I knew right then exactly what I was going to do.  Back over to the pretty papers I flew and found just what I needed.  On an embossed background I stamped one of the Milliner Misses plate RRD007, then pieced in the pink paper hat with black and white trim. I did use a pen for the top of the hat and the brim.  Her jacket was pieced with the same black and white print that is also the background print.  The pink ribbon was added and over that the black Eifel Tower ( my new TH die, LOVE IT)  The sentiment is from the RRD plate RRD011 Nature Notes, stamped on pink and two black rhinestones were added to finish it off.  Her face and hair were done with colored pencil and OMS.
I know one should not brag, but I just love the way this card turned out.
