Holiday Card Series| Day 4 | KWCardDesign

Hello all!  Sorry for the break in posts the last week, but I took a little break from blogging and videos to celebrate my birthday last weekend - I took a trip to St. Louis, MO for a shopping trip at IKEA! I've been so excited to go since I learned there was going to be one 3 hours away from me - believe me that is close compared to the one that was over 8!

Anyway - I am back to continue to my Holiday Card Series for 2015 with this card.

I used stencil from Heidi Swapp to create my inked background using Distress Inks, then I added shimmer to my polka dots with a little Mister Huey Shine mist.  I die cut that panel using the stitched Femme Frames from Mama Elephant, and also die cut a piece of pattern paper from Lawn Fawn with the scalloped frame from the same die set.  I also die cut three pieces of white card stock using the Jingle Snowflakes die from Simon Says Stamp.  I wanted my top piece to be gold - so I heat embossed it with some WOW embossing powder.  My sentiment comes from My Favorite Things - I love this font.  All the supplies used are listed below!  

Below is the video tutorial!!  Enjoy!!

LSC # 70 Polka Dots

Happy Monday everyone!!  'Tis time!  'Tis time for another Lawnscaping Challenge!  Can you believe it!  This month is flying by!!
For this challenge - we are focusing on that fun polka dots!  There are so many patterns, and colors that incorporate polka dots!  Big small, random, colorful - as long as there is a polka dot pattern - we want you to use it!

And, for this challenge this is what I came up with!

I had fun making this card! I have fun making all my cards - but for specifically for this one I had fun coming up with different polka dot patterns to mix and match together! I used papers from the Peace Joy Love 6x6 paper pad ( the black polka dot and the green bokah pattern) and the other two patterns come from the Crate paper Bundled Up 6x6 collection - I love these papers in the pad!

I stamped and die cute the banners from the Winter Gifts stamp set and the matching dies Tag, You're It. I adhered all my banners to a piece of white card stock, and then stamped at the top and "stitching" image from a Simon Says Stamp stamp set.  To "ground" the white card stock panel to the kraft card base, I cut some thin strips of black card stock and adhered it to the card.  For a fun element - instead of the reinforce circles for the tags, I added some fun sequins also from the Peace Joy Love collection.  

To finish it off - I added my sentiment "Happy Holiday's" and a snowflake and one more sequins on top.

Simple card - but I think it is fun with all the polka dots and fun festive colors!!  I hope you are able to join us over at the blog!!  Our awesome sponsor is none other than the incredible Lawn Fawn!!

See you soon!
