Curtain Call Candy Cane {all is calm}

It's time for a new Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge!

We have a new sponsor, Avery Elle, for the Curtain Call Inspiration: Candy Cane!  A randomly selected participant in the Candy Cane challenge will receive a $20 Avery Elle gift certificate, while the LEAD will be invited as a Guest Designer in a future challenge!

Here is the full card. I used the adorable Let it Snow stamp set. I just love the trees in the set, but opted to leave them off this card (don't worry, I already made my reminder card and I made sure to ink up those trees!). I love this sentiment and added some snocone snowflakes to the lil' inker designs stitched mats-circle die. I also added the sweet birdie duo to the candy cane twine. Super cute, huh?!

Make sure you visit each of the designers' blogs for more inspiration!

Sweet Sunday Sketch no.249 {seriously awesome}

 It's a seriously awesome Sunday! I took a break from holiday cards and whipped up this fun card for the current Sweet Sunday Sketch. I love that Karen included a tilted panel with this week's sketch. I hope you love it, too. 
I love a top folding card, so I flipped the sketch a bit. I used the Stitched Stars from Lil' Inker Designs for the trio of elements in the sketch. I took it a step further and added the gorgeous word dies-Seriously and Awesome. The stamped sentiment is from the Hello, Awesome stamps set. I think those little sets are just perfect and so budget friendly. 

A few other details to point out are the new Long & Skinny rectangles. This die set JUST released and it's seriously awesome. I also added a Stitched Mats-rectangles around the edge of my card base. 

The colors are two more new ones from MFT-persimmon and peach bellini. Here is a look at the sketch. 

I hope you will join in on all the fun this week.  Please hop on over to see what the Sweet Sunday Stampers have created this weekend:

 Sooooo excited about this blog hop. Amy Tsuruta has to be on e of the most dedicated bloggers and commenters out there. That girls rocks! She has organized another FUN blogging event, it's the Holiday Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.

I pulled out one of my favorite coffee set, Be a Barista from Reverse Confetti (they are one of the amazing and generous sponors for this hop! I'll tell you a bit more about that in a bit). 

I used the largest Circle 'n Scallops die to cut out my circle and then stamped some Whole Lotta Dots behind it. I used the new gorgeous colors from MFT. Blueberry, Wild Wisteria, and Island teal....yum! I stamped my sentiment onto a Tag Me banner pieces,tucked in some thread and added some enamel dots and clear rhinestones (another inspiration from Jodi Collins).  I colored the mug up with my copics and cut it out. It was the prefect accent for my coffee loving card!
