ABC Christmas meets Emerald Faeries Product Spotlight

Hello stamping friends!!

Whew! I'm still trying to recover from Ansley's birthday weekend! Since I wasn't able to get my Emerald Faeries card done for the Stamp and Create Product Spotlight on Monday, I thought I would combine it with my ABC Christmas Challenge card!!

So here it is...

As a reminder, all Emerald Faeries stamps are on sale this week for 25% off.

The ABC Christmas Challenge is:

S for Shaped Card - plus you must include Stripes, Spots, or Swirls.

We have two sponsors this challenge...

and 

Here is my card...

When I saw the stripes on socks on the adorable Willie & Mia image and I thought they looked like little elves!! Cute little Christmas Fairy Elves!! 

The papers are from MME Fly a Kite. I also used some lace, red silk, High Hopes Mistletoe stamp, and Stardust Stickles.

The circle card and snowflake background were created with my silhouette machine.

 

Now it's your turn!! Make sure to check out the ABC Christmas Challenge blog to see the rest of the awesome DT samples as well!

Magical Monday Challenge: Teal and Red Color Combo

Hello stamping friends!

I hope you had a lovely weekend. We had a great weekend. Friday night we went over a friend's house for dinner and games. I won!! ;-) Then on Saturday, my husband surprised me by buying a new car!! The van was starting to breakdown so it was time to trade it in. We got a new Ford Explorer :-)

 

Then on Sunday I went school clothes shopping (by myself - which meant it was a successful trip)! Then church Sunday afternoon. 

Today the kids start a Soccer Skills Camp! For a few hours a day through Thursday, they will learn techniques that will help them with the upcoming soccer season. 

Ok, so now it's time for the new Magical Monday Challenge. 

This week's challenge is a color combo: Red and Teal

I love this color combo.

Remember, you must use a "Magical Character" (Mermaid, Fairy, Dragon, Angel, etc...) in order to be entered into the drawing for the Sponsor's Prize. 

Speaking of Sponsors, this week we are sponsored by All That Scraps...

See the challenge post for sponsor details.

Now on to my card...

The other day I needed a card for Ansley's Horse Camp instructor so I decided to make a zig zag card using the Tutorial over at the High Hopes blog. That card didn't fit this week's challenge so you will see it for the next Magical Monday Challenge - however, I enjoyed making the zig zag card so much, I decided to make another one.

This little cutie is Ebony from Emerald Faeries. She's embossed in black, watercolored with Twinkling H2Os, then cut out. The papers are Hattie by My Mind's Eye. I also used the Pennant Die and Magical Mini Letter Seals Sentiment from Whimsy Stamps, Fairytale roses, and Butterfly die from CC Designs.

I added a #9 because this will be for a special little girl's 9th birthday soon.

Here's a few other angles...

 

Here is what it looks like when it's closed flat to fit into an envelope... 

And a close up of this sweetie... 

Now it's your turn! Let's see your take on this Magical Red and Teal challenge!! The challenge is open for 2 weeks.
