Here are all the holiday cards I made at the end of 2016. To keep up with my latest projects and cards – instagram handle: zehra/rosebest

All of these cards were personalized using the Penned Alphabet set from Concord and 9th. Love this set. A truly worth buying set.

I used Altenew henna elements and colored with zig clean color pens. Gold embossed added sequins and ribbon.

Male cards are always a little hard for me, but this turned out well, a little lace is always good. MFT stamps and dies.

A simple shaker card with tons of sequins and MFT background die. also used viva pen for glitter.

This was a male card made easy by tons of Impression obsession dies and stickles, soft distress inks background.

Another male card with snowman-paperpieced and dies colored with distress inks.

This was made with a tim hotlz stencil and Altenew Lily stamp with Altenew inks.

Dry embossed the background and added rolled roses fro MFT-love to color them with distress inks. ribbon and pearls are great to give finishing touches.

I used a digital stamp from Make it Crafty and colored with copics. Added tons of white gel pen.

I won a few stamps in Instagram and these were so adorable I made a little scene. colored with distress markers. lots of stickles.

I used martha stewart punch for the wreath and a cute snowman stamp from my stash colored with gel pens. Stencl at the back is from MFT.

This is nothing but embossing with silver and gold ranger embossing powder.

First time I used Rub ons in the background. Santa is colored with copics.

Used inlay techniques with MFT ornaments die colored with zig pens. gems completed the card

Aren’t these penguins adorable. loved making hills and coloring with copics. Lots of stickles. This was a male card too.

Last a few lip balm holders. check the lip balms here- http://www.rosebest.com

This is a long post. There are nine cards in all. These are all for the Love Fest challenge at Splitcoast stampers. I was on a card making frenzy and so enjoyed it.

This is for Puppy Love– card with a warm critter

I sponged watercolor paper with distress inks and then stamped with Versafine Ink, I used a ribbon and twine for the thread of affection. The main panel was cut with MFT postage die. I added brad and a wooden button for the final touch.

I am also adding it in Really Reasonable Ribbon- Show me the green

The inside is simple

This is for Lovey Dovey Spring- by Stamping Bella

The main panel is another diecut from MFT. The image is from Fred She Said- Doodled Floral Image. I love their images. I colored it with copics and paper pieced and colored the yellow flower and the leaves. I added white gel pen for effect. I love the sequins paper peeking through the lace. The saying is from MFT Fabulous sayings.

I am adding this to Great Impressions- Spring Celebrations and Simply Create Too- Shop in your stash– all the items used are from my stash.

The inside

This is for Doodle Do- Taylored Expressions

This card was heavily influenced by Jennifer McGuire. I love her videos and ideas. I added a doodled border and colored it with copics. I love the feathers and sentiment from MFT. I added some buttons for texture. When I embossed my feathers a spot did not have embossed powder on it, I took a brush and added embossing ink and then added the powder to even it out.

I am adding it to Challenge 4 everybody- Anything goes– this is a 5.5×5.5 card.

The inside

This is for the Inspiration Challenge- By Cat’s Pajamas, love the birdhouse and the iron gates.

I used lots of MFT diecuts. papers are from different paper pads and scrap. the corners looked like the gates, I added pearls to the branch and house.

I am adding this to Simon Says Stamp- Anything goes with pearls

The inside

This is for the Color Challenge-Sweet n’Sassy. Colors were white, red, pink and brown with additional ingredient of Love.

I had this lovely out of print paper that had browns and pinks and I thought it was perfect. I added MFT die and stamp. Love this saying with this heart. Added some sequins to balance the card.

I am adding it to Challenges 4 everybody- anything goes

The inside

This is for Let’s Score- Scor Pal

It is very hard to capture the score lines on a picture, they are above and below the sentiment. This is by far my favorite embossing folder. Then I added the MFT -Fabulous sayings(this is an awesome stamp set) so many ways to dress up a statement. Love it. I added a Pretty Posey die colored with alcohol inks on glossy accent paper. I added a pearl and a couple rose leaves.

I am adding this to Jo’s Scrap Shack- Florals

Here is the inside

Scor lines are added above and below the yellow paper. and a little flower.

This is for Die Cut Crazy- Simon Says Stamp. I was amazed how fast this was done once I thought of what to do. I

I diecut some LJD butterflies and Fancy butterfly by MPD- both from MFT. Is tamped the big dots on the butterfly underneath the fancy butterfly. is tamped corresponding inks on the other butterflies, all with MFT inks. I added colored pearls, colored the red ones with R28 and was done.

I am adding this to Fashionable Stamping Challenge- Anything goes

Here is the inside

I choose Classy and Elegant for the challenge by Paper Smooches.

I stenciled a rose using MFT stencil and MFT inks-Olive, Jelly bean green. RazzleBerry and Lemon drop ink, Then I added a ribbon. This ribbon was given to me by my secret admirer(sshhh, don’t tell anyone it is my 8 year old daughter). She finds little things to give me wraps it up and writes- for Mommy from your secret admirer. It is adorable. I added a little MFT sentiment.

I am adding it to CAS on Sunday- color me Pretty; and Addicted to Stamps and More- CAS

I forgot to do an inside, will work on it.

Here is my last card for the day

Lots of layers- Paper Perfect Crafting

I distressed all the layers to add a layered look and make it more distinct. The main panel I die cut and colored the die cuts with distress markers and water. The background is peacock feathers and tumbled glass. The sentiment is from Verve.

I am adding this to Crafting from the heart- use die cuts.

Here is the inside

MFTWSC150/ focus on what’s right.

I made this using MFT sketch 150, I took a few liberties with it. The between strip I used hemp cord as I wanted my saying to be the focus.

Pardon the photograph, I will clean it all by tomorrow hopefully, I have no electricity and I am trying to get this up on time.

Since I had no electricity I could not use my vagaond, I did find the pinking circle in my scraps- it is from the MFT lollipop treats., I did not use the fishtail banner as it would hide my sentiment. I think this MFT sentiment is perfect for the circumstance. I needed to use it. I added distress markers on the background of the stamp with water brush and wipes. Then I added it to a square that I pierced holes with the help of a plastic canvas. The blu raspeberry ink was used to stamp the MFT-LJD textile background stamp- it is beautiful and I used an EK success punch on it’s side. The butterfly was also colored with distress markers, stickes and some pink glitter in it’s middle body. A pearl swirl completed the card.

I am playing along with Hope You can Cling to Challenges at Splitcoaststampers. It is a wonderful cause, and brings cheer and hope to many battling cancer. These cards will be sent to Houston,UT MD Anderson Cancer Center. You can play along too. This challenge was Sending flowers.

I love all flowers at Fred She Said, Tracey makes the best flowers, so I used her latest ones- growing together, I colored them with prisma pencils and then added different highlights to each, white gel pen, stickes, Faber Castell pens. I used the precored background, bees and dragons. i added stickles and glossy accents to them. Also the leaves have some glossy accents. Some flowers are flat, some are popped. I added a ribbon at the bottom.

I am adding this to Crafting when we can– make your own flowers.

I will hopefully have a card for this month of October every day.

I love this sentiment, so that the focus would be the sentiment I did the bordered technique, I had wanted to try it, I do ahve some mistakes but I guess I need to take more care when I do this again. I colored two flower centers with R5 and added sakura glitter pem, some sequins, distress marker and glossy accents to teh leaves and the card was done. The sentiment is from MFT and so are the lovely flowers and leaves- those are from the Pretty pocket stamp.

here is the inside

I am entering it in Simon says stamp- use clear stamp and Challenge 4 everybody- anything goes.

butterflies, cardstock, celebration, copics, distress ink, distress markers, flower, Fred She Said, handmade card, handmade flowers, martha Stewart punch, memory box die, MFT dienamics, pearls, ribbon, stickles, summer

I used tons of Fred She Said images for this card, love how it came out.

I started with cutting a window from memory box die, i had got this a long time ago. i also used the Hello die from MFT stamps and colored it with pickled rapberry and salty ocean distress ink.

Whenever I use a Fred she said image I save the extras I have printed or not used, so I was just looking through that and saw this fun scene- from Smelling the cherry blossom that fit perfectly in the window. I colored it with copic markers and distress ink. the birds are from Emma Caroler, flowers are from the new Happy flowers. I added some Martha Stewart leaf punch.

The flowers and leaves in the corner bunch are from the first set I owned from FSS and still my favorite polka dotty flowers, I colored them with distress inks and embossed them with a stylus, added pearls. I wanted more foilage so added Martha Stewart leaves.

I added a ribbon to the card before adding the window, lots of pop dots used on the card window and flowers. Added butterflies from Flutterbies for your flowers and some stickles on it, colored with copic markers.

here is a close up of the scene

here is the inside of the card
