I wanted to show you something simple yet elegant Christmas card that you can whip within just minutes. With a ribbon of your choice and couple stamp sets, you can create multiple cards without a hassle! I really am enjoying this Gold Hemp I got with my order last month from RRR. Don’t you just LOVE the bright gold color? It sure pops out the card perfectly. I like the sturdiness of the hemp and it makes it easier for you to tie a bow quickly. Have you checked out all different sorts of colors in their hemp collection? Make sure to head over the online shop to see all the cool trims. And you know what? They are having a 4 day sale right now!!

Since I wanted to make sure the color of the hemp pops out and shows easily, I stamped a background stamp with a brown color ink pad. That way it shows the trim well. Color contrasting is fun and simple! Another thing that I have been enjoying from RRR is the November Ribbon Club Assortment (see the pic below). Each month, you can enjoy different ribbons that are coordinated well for your projects and you can get them at a discounted price. It is economical and helps you get inspired! Make sure to check it out and try out the club membership. You will see other projects featuring those club assortment ribbons on my blog as well.

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed my card. Make sure to hop along to the next stop, Cherly’s blog to see what she has created for us! I will be back tomorrow with a new project.

    Happy Holidays and for those who are celebrating, Merry Christmas- Many of us are spending today in an unusual way this year, and many of us are also remembering those we lost. I ask that you keep others in your thoughts this holiday season πŸ’• sending hugs and loves to your way ❀️❀️

Made cookies and cheesecake brownies for our next door neighbors who are spending today alone. I added a little touch with stamps and inks to dress up the cookie boxes 🎁

    Happy view πŸ₯°πŸ₯° New ink storage system for my office/studio desk. I wanted the most used inks right at my fingertips and these Alex drawers hold them perfectly. I am keeping both full sized and cubes together, along with 1 mini cube blending tool for each color family. β€οΈπŸ§‘πŸ’›πŸ’šπŸ’™πŸ’œ #scrapsandstamps #inkstorage #craftroom #craftroomorganization #homestudio
    Good morning and happy Saturday lovlies!! πŸ‘‹πŸ»πŸ‘‹πŸ» I just realized my last post about 3-4 months ago was a glance at my studio. Lots of things happened in the past few months and Ive been just too stressed out that I lost my desire to craft. 😣Its been a rough yr for everyone and Im ready for a new start! 😍 Are you?? Im going to start working towards getting some routines where I can feel better and add creativity back to life. Why wait till Jan? We can start now πŸ’•

I just moved and finally got around to finishing up my studio. Im such a perfectionist that it took me a while to get everything where I wanted. πŸ˜… Im happy how it turned out and grateful that I can still have a place to work and craft. Im excited to share projects with you soon πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯°

    Took a couple of days off this week to recharge - mental break helps a lot! πŸ‘πŸ» While I enjoyed stay-home break, I finished swatching all of #danielsmithwatercolors - now I’ll build my own palette from these and start doing some watercolor with them. Seeing all these made me really happy πŸ₯°πŸ₯° Swatching watercolors are one of my fav ways to distress. What creative projects are you working on this weekend?? #watercolorswatches #watercolor #danielsmithwatercolor #danielsmithartistsmaterials #colorswatches
    Hello, beautiful! (Yes, you!) ❀️ Spring (or summer) floral wreath 🌼🌺 - created effortlessly with brand new stamp from #altenew πŸ’• sending early summer warmth to your way, hope you are having a great week! πŸ₯°πŸ₯° #scrapsandstamps #handmadecards #handmade #cardmaking #layeredstamping #altenewblossomwreath
    I decided to do something new and challenging during this #stayathome time. Took a beginner calligraphy class by @piecescalligraphy and I cant believe how fast 90min went by!! 😍😍 I have a lot of practice to do but really enjoyed learning. These are some of the things we did. My p’s are pretty horrible πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Cant wait for the next session!

    Happy Monday everyone- πŸ’•πŸ’• I was itching for a change so the other day I moved things around a bit in my studio. (This happens more often than not πŸ˜‚) Even just a tiny bit of change can bring a big difference and give a fresh feel to your daily norm. Controlling what we can and not losing hope πŸ™πŸ» I wish you a fabulous and lovely week ahead πŸ’™

    More therapeutic watercoloring session - I find taking the time to color each image with watercolor really helps me to relax. I think it has to do with a slow moving, soft transition of the pigments and water.

This card was made using a brand new #altenewstatementflowers stamp set and #altenewspringgarden
