The SSINK DT's Favorite Holiday Bundles

This is my favorite bundle: Jingle All the Way, and for SSINK's holiday bundle challenge, I had to use this with Glitter Paper. Santa is landing in glittering beds of snow in the dark of the night. To help the die cuts pop against the monochromatic white glitter, I backed one set with black card stock and let the bottom layers appear to be one layer.

SSINK Challenge: Playing with Markers

Today's SSINK Challenge is Playing with Markers. And with matching card stock, patterned papers, and markers -- and an orange paperclip bow from Paper Pumpkin's kit from August. I love the "Lighthearted Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set" with the die cut matching leaf from the "Vintage Leaves Photopolymer Bundle."

Challenge #253

Celebrate Dad

{Super Dad!!!}

All Dad's are super! And they all need a "super" card. This one was made for my husband who I happen to think is a really super dad!

This fun card was made with help from Summer Celebrations and the Superman Cricut Cartridge. This pop-up card will fold flat to fit into a standard A2 envelope.
