Global Design Project - 'Sketch Challenge' #gdp058

Hi there. Today is a 'Sketch Challenge' for the Global Design Project #gdp058. 
I love a Sketch Challenge - it's a fantastic opportunity to unleash your creativity. Whether it's a favourite stampset or Designer Series Paper or a colour combination or embellishments, you can create whatever you desire.

I was looking at my 'Candy Cane Lane Designer Series Paper', and thinking of the coordinating colours - Real Red & Early Espresso, to make my creation...

I really love the cute little Gingerbread Houses from the 'Candy Cane Lane DSP'. I fussy cut the Gingerbread Houses (you can cut 29 houses from 1 sheet of DSP!) and I love fussy cutting too.

The background under the house is a square of Whisper White cardstock embossed using the 'Softly Falling Textured Impression Embossing Folder'. And the sweet 'Merry Christmas' stamp from the very versatile 'Teeny Tiny Sentiments' stampset. 
I applied the embossed cardstock both ways; embossed & debossed, and adhered a Real Red cardstock mat underneath. Finally, a strip of another design from the 'Candy Cane Lane' DSP to go underneath.


Speaking of Designer Series Paper; Buy 3 Get 1 FREE for the month of October! Share with a friend. Get your Christmas DSP sorted, or treat yourself! 

Thankyou for visiting, and I hope to have inspired you to get making for your Christmas cards! It's just around the corner.

Creation Station Design Team Blog Hop - 'Holiday Catalogue Favourites'

The Holiday Catalogue is finally here, Yay!, and it is full of the most gorgeous products. My Wish List is basically; 'All of it. Please and thankyou!' Just wait and see for yourself.

 The 'Creation Station Design Team' has created for you a wonderful Blog Hop full of ideas and inspiration just for you. So let's get cracking with what I have made...

Introducing the 'Cookie Cutter Christmas' Stampset & coordinating 'Cookie Cutter Builder Punch' - a fabulous Bundle & Save 10%, if I do say so myself.

I have used all the cute characters from the stampset & coordinating 'Cookie Cutter Builder Punch', and I love how they have turned out. I use Gift tags a lot - especially for Christmas gifts, so my designs are ready to go!

 Here's Rudolph. And his shiny nose. I covered Rudolph's red nose with Fine-tip Glue to make it shiny. He is so cute.

The Gingerbread man is so sweet! I used a White Gel pen for the icing. Making them look so real you could almost eat them!

Santa is a little bit adorable! All of the pieces of Santa have been cut individually and pieced together. I used Watercolour Paper for his beard and trim to his hat, coat & pants. It would definitely be easier to Colour using Stampin' Write Markers.

Oh my goodness! Check out these cuties!!! I couldn't help it and had to make plaits for the girl. I used a Blender Pen to colour them in and I love them so much!

And the little bear. How gorgeous is the sentiment? And perfect for a Baby's First Christmas? Too much cuteness...

And I happened to make a few Baby Bear tags too. This little bear was perfect for a Baby Theme! These little gift tags are perfect for a New Baby or for a Baby Shower.

And before I go so you can go and visit the other Blogs, I have one more creation for you. 

I had to make a mini house from the 'Sweet Home Photopolymer Bundle' with the darling little mouse from the 'Merry Mice' stampset. This little guy reminds me of Clark Griswold (National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation Comedy) - in a cute kind of way, getting ready to decorate his house in Christmas lights.
With love and thanks to Louise, who last weekend invited me over to craft and use her 'Sweet Home Bundle' because I had this idea I had to make. Lucky she is only 2 minutes away!
