Hello and Happy Friday!
First thing I want to do here is to thank everyone who commented and sent me emails about my clay ornaments SO very much! I can't tell you how much your kind words meant to me. It's one thing for me to like them, and of course my sweet husband, but I really had no idea I would get such a wonderful response to them, and I have to say it just really made my week! So thank you again so so much! I am sweeping off the cobwebs in my Etsy store and making a new banner. I hope to have some in there for sale soon!
Now it's time for a new challenge at Festive Friday!
Check out the cute inspiration photo! When I first looked at it, I thought "that's a cookie, and I don't have any cookie stamps." Hmmmm.... I kept trying to figure out what I would use. I even thought, well, I'll just go with the colors and the holly. Okay that'll work! Then as I got started, it totally dawned on me that gingerbread men are Christmas cookies! haha! And gingerbread men I do have! So I got out my little Papertrey Ink guy and went to work :)
and here is what I came up with!
The gingerbread man , holly, pine and snowflakes are from Papertrey Ink. The bow and little sprig of Mistletoe are from WPlus9. The sentiment is from Waltzing Mouse. The stitched mat is from Lil' Inkers.
I just stamped and die cut all the pieces, arranged them in a pleasing manner and stuck them down with foam tape. Voila, a Christmas cookie card! :D
I hope you will play along with us at Festive Friday!
You can also check out the amazing talent from the other design team members at Festive Friday!
I hope you all have a safe and wonderful weekend! The are predicting an ice storm here for us on Sunday. Oh I can't tell you how wrong I hope they are.
Hugs,
Kay :)
You make it sound so easy to put together this card, Kay! I, for one, would struggle with this. You are so very talented and I love your sweet gingerbread man!
ReplyDeleteEach of those comments was very much deserved, Kay. You are one extremely talented lady who deserves every success that comes your way. *Ü* Your talents are shown in this adorable card as well. I just adore how you are able to take some simple individual stamped pieces and group them together to create a design that is beautiful and works so well, like they are meant to be put together. It's just so inspiring. Thank you for sharing! Oh goodness, I do hope "they" are wrong about an ice storm as well. This must feel like the winter that wouldn't go away by now!! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteA perfect take on the inspiration photo Kay. A beautiful layout. Perfect as always.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous card Kay. Such a fun cluster of elements.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if my chin has come up off the floor since you shared your ornaments!! They are absolutely incredible and I am so glad you are going Etsy!! And speaking of incredible - well, my chin might as well stay on the floor, because just look at your card!! Total, complete perfection. Flawless. Amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteFirstly, I have to say that I'm so glad you're going to offer your gorgeous ornaments in your Etsy Store...I'll be the first in line when you do!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is the CUTEST Gingerbread Man in the whole world! I love how you layered all the beautiful elements and the color combo is so pretty, Kay! You make it seem so easy, but it's really not, and that is a sign of a 'True Artist'! Thank you so much for inspiring us once again at Festive Friday ♥
I always smile when I see your beautiful cards thanks :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll sell me one of your stunning clay ornaments... Truly, I was so blown away! You know you have at least one sold to me! ;)
ReplyDeleteI saw your card before even remembering what picture this week was, and it totally threw me thinking, "was there a gingerbread one?" But I LOVED that you went there with it. This week has been one of my faves for seeing the vast difference in designs from the team. Anyway, I am in love with how graphic your card is and it's so 'you', if that makes sense!
So glad you will be adding them to your store!
ReplyDeleteThis card is adorable and I love all the different stamps co. You used to make this sweet card.
Applauding wildly your decision to bring your GORGEOUS ornaments into your Etsy story! Hope you have plenty in stock, because I'm predicting sell-out after sell-out. Such beautiful works of art, showcasing your phenomenal talents, will be treasured by your customers, and you know there will be plenty of those come opening day! Your card here: more evidence of your awesome creativity. Love the various elements you've combined ever so perfectly, ever so pleasingly. This is one super sweet card! The smile on the gingerbread man's face - well, he's captured my response 100%! On this -40C morning, you've made my day warmer and sparkly!
