Cards by Kerri

Hello!  This is my first time participating in the Papertrey Ink Blog Hop!  The theme of the hop is a quick and easy wrapping or tag.  I chose to make one of these super quick and easy 2-5-7-10 Boxes, but I left an open top.  I used Aqua Mist cs for the base and some dp from the Rustic Snowflakes paper pad.  I stamped one of the trees from Tree Trimming Trio with Aqua Mist and added the Pure Poppy ornaments.  The sentiment is from Signature Christmas.  Very quick and easy!  Thank you so much for stopping by!

Hello!  It's so nice that the kids are home this week--no school, no activities, which means I don't have to run all over the place and I can play in some SCS challenges!!!  Today's Color Challenge was to use Old Olive, Pretty in Pink, and Bermuda Bay.  I seriously went a little overboard this year with Christmas stamps lol, but I am determined to put them all to good use!  There are just soooo many adorable images out there, and I am a sucker for adorable!  Anywho, I used C.C. Designs Swiss Pixies Nora for this card.  For the snowflake bg I used a stamp that comes with the Your Next Stamp set Fhiona and Friend Penguin.  I stamped the snowflakes with Bermuda Bay, but stamped off once to get the lighter color. 

Speaking of YNS~today is Karen's Mom's Birthday!  Happy Birthday Karen's mom!!!  To celebrate, Karen is offering FREE SHIPPING(Code HBMFS) OR 20% OFF YOUR ENTIRE ORDER(CodeHBM20)!!!  This offer ends Tomorrow at Midnight so make sure you take advantage!  Thank you so much for stopping by and have a fabulous day : )

Hello!  I made this card yesterday, but I'm just now getting it posted!  I just love Mercy's sketches, and couldn't wait to play with one of my new PTI stamp sets~Christmas Friends!  I was very drawn to the beautiful flourishes in this set, and the birds are so cute too!  I paired it with PTI Signature Christmas for the sentiment and Basic Grey Wassail dp. 

Hello!  I made this for the Midnight Madness Sketch this week : )  Besides using the sketch, we were also asked to make a Christmas card.  On top of that, each DT member is going to choose a favorite card, and that card will displayed on their blog during the Midnight Madness Holiday Blog Hop December 8-15th! 

I just adore these images from Belles 'n Whistles, and after seeing this adorable image called Rockin' Around, I had to order it!  My daughter LOVES horses and all stuffed animals, so this reminded me of her : )  Thank you so much for stopping by, and make sure you come back later to check out what I'll be giving away for my Blogiversary!!!

Hello!  I picked up this cute little angel in the $1.00 bin at Michael's last week : )  I thought she was the perfect size for Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge #47.  I stamped the angel twice, cut one out, and popped it up on Dimensionals.  I added Diamond Stickles to her wings so she is super sparkly IRL ; )  The dp is from the K&Company Peppermint Twist Mat Pad.  Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Hello!  I've been dying to make one of these awesome Snow Globe cards, so I finally sat down yesterday and did it!  Aren't they cool!  I also used another Digiment that will be released tomorrow!  I seriously LOVE these Christmas song Digiments!  Michelle is offering a super special deal tomorrow~All 24 Digiments For $8.00!!!  Get a second set for only $4.00 and send them to a friend!  That totally rocks!!!  Also, make sure you go by the Digiments blog and leave a comment because one commenter will win the entire release!

For my card I used my PTI Tree Trimming Trio set.  I punched the snowflakes with my Martha Stewart punch, and used retired Ski Slope DSP from SU.  This also qualifies for this week's Saturday Spotlight Challenge to use an image more than once.  I stamped the ornament image 3 times : )  I'm definitely going to make more of these!  Thank you so much for stopping by today, and have a fabulous weekend!
