Christmas Joy (for me & YOU!)
As promised here is my new Kitchen Sink Stamps card. I used 3 different sets for this card, 1 of them is for a new release sometime December - can you tell which one?
The first set is called Playful Alphabet and it's so much fun!! There are tons of possibilities with this set. Each letter has a different pattern inside and I just love how the "o" looks like a candy cane or peppermint candy! For the background on the white layer I used Backgrounds & Borders. Can I tell you how HUGE this set is?? There are tons of designs and in different sizes too - how great!! This swirl reminds me of Christmas ribbon candy. The final set I used (for Christmas) is called Never a Loss 4 Words and it too is HUGE - tons of words in different sizes and a beautiful font, definitely a MUST HAVE!
The colors for this card came from the ribbon which is American Crafts and available in the Paper Pretties Corner Store as are the beautiful Swarovski crystals over the "i" and in the "y". It's hard to see from the photo but over to the right of the "Joy" image I paper pierced a line.
Fun card! The sketch is Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge #26. I'm too late for her drawing but the sketch is awesome - give it a try!!
I think it's about time for some blog candy don't you agree? The last time I did a give away I asked for name submissions for blog candy and I never told you what I chose . . . the overwhelming choice was Jules Jewels (there were variations on the spelling but I went with they way I spell my nickname). So leave me a comment on this post - tell me which Kitchen Sink Stamp set is your favorite. I will choose a winner on Monday, Nov. 12 and that person will receive the new Playful Christmas set (I will order it and have it sent directly from KSS).
Have fun and tell your friends! :) Have a great day everyone!
I love the new set with the Christmas trees.
ReplyDeleteHit submit accidentally. Meant to add that I don't have it but I see huge potential in it.
ReplyDeleteI love the three step holly and mistle toe set. Thanks for the chance. Your card it wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteI was going to say the 3 step Holly and Mistletoe set but Jodene beat me to it, my next favorite is Thanksgiving, must be the time of year. I love your card, it is great and that O is perfect.
ReplyDeleteThis Jules would LOVE to win your Jewels... wait -- this is getting complicated! Anyway, thanks for the chance to win! I'd love to try out these stamps!
ReplyDeleteHi Julie,
ReplyDeleteLoved your card! Kitchen sink has several winners on their hands!
My favorite set is the Playful Alphabet. My second is the Playful Christmas set you are giving away (guess I am in a "playful" mood), so it would be cool to win your blog candy.
Thanks for sharing your art with us and giving us so many pretty samples for inspiration!

I really like the playful alphabet. So cute!
ReplyDeleteI really like the Playful Trees - so I hope I win! I also like Playful Alphabet. BTW I love your card.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Card Jules, the gems are the perfect touch!
ReplyDeleteGreat card you created. The letters really set it off and look so fun. My favorite set is Snow Flurry. It looks like it is full of possibilities.
ReplyDeleteTks for the chance of winning such great blog candy!
Hi Julie!
ReplyDeleteThanks for a chance to win! I love the 3 step holly and mistletoe set!
Love your card!
The three step holly and mistletoe is beautiful! But the letters are great as well...one can never have too many!
ReplyDeletethis is such a bright, cheerful card. I think I like the 3-step Holly & Mistletoe set best.
ReplyDeleteYour Christmas card is so fun and colorful!! I love that alphabet!
ReplyDeleteI really like this card! Such nice bright colors, and that alphabet looks like such fun! I think I'd have to say that Playful Alphabet would be my favorite, just because it's so versatile!! Thanks for the chance at some fun Jewels! ;-)
ReplyDeleteCute card! Love how you used all three stamp sets. Count me in! Perfect timing to make some fun XMAS stuff with this set. I love all the stamp sets that Kitch Sink has for sell, but I would say the Pretty Petals...only cuz it can be used for anything. Of course I want them ALL! Thanks for a chance at this sweet candy.

I don't have any KS stamps (yet) so I can't tell you a favorite...but I do like the snow flurries set...especially the joy letters. Your card is sooooo cute! I love the "o" being a candy!
ReplyDeleteI like the colors in your card! Very bright and festive! I think my favorite KSS set is either Snow Flurry or Thanks with Style.
ReplyDeleteI love the Playful Alphabet set - esp after seeing your card! It is so different than anything I've seen. I like how it's big enough it can be the focal point of a card (or scrapbook page)!
ReplyDeleteDon't count me for the blog candy...for obvious reasons, but I just wanted to say how much I love this card! I want to CASE it! Love ya! Keep up the awesome work!!
ReplyDeleteI love Thanks With Style and hope to have it soon!
ReplyDeleteLOVE your card, Julie! How fun and colorful! Which set is my favorite? Well. . . whichever one you create with, so it changes everyday! LOL
ReplyDeleteThe 3 step flower set is on my wish list. I like your catchy name!
