Merry Christmas

Hi and welcome, everyone! Lisa from The Relativity of Paper bringing you the daily post and asking...where do you find inspiration? For this card, I went to Pinterest and searched Santa Boots. Of course, a vast and varied selection popped up. One thing caught my eye, a wreath with elf boots and striped legs dangling, very Whoville-ish! Something so fun, so cute, something I need hanging on my front door, for sure. I immediately knew what had to be done.

Now here's the thing, it's die-cut overload! I'm learning that sometimes you just have to go for it. Load it up with everything including the kitchen sink. What is life without risk, right? Hey, sometimes it works other times not so much.

This Shake It Up dies are so much fun to create the adorable gumball machine and snow globe. I stamped a bunch of snow balls from Santa's Helper stamp set inside the circle and colored them as if they're multi colors gumballs with copic markers. The top sentiment I used is from stamp and inside card sentiment is from stamp. The pattern paper I used is

Project # 3 All 4 Mini Stamps : Camping Critters, Feathered Friends, In The Wild and Rockin Reptilians

I had so much fun creating this planner page using all 4 mini stamps (Camping Critters, Feathered Friends, In The Wild and Rockin Reptilians) and played more with my washi tapes. I used and . I also used the banner dies from and the balloon dies from to make my balloon animals.

Project # 4 Christmas Cheer

I love this peeking reindeer so much so I have to do a peekaboo card. And the dies are just the perfect dies for this project. To make it more festive feel I decided to used the pattern paper and I love it. To finish it off I sprinkled our latest sequins mixed Holly Jolly here and there.

I totally in love with this card inspired by Pinterest *lol* I cut my front panel using the die from dies and used my brick stencil to create the background wall.
