On the Third Day of Christmas . . . Plus New Release Blog Hop - QKD

It is time again for the QKD sneak peak release hop! Can you say that three times? Yes, three times since today is my third day of Christmas here on the blog!

For the QKD blog hop, you should have come here from my Saturday stamping partner Helene, if not, head back to the QKD blog and start from the beginning!

I am loving the new releases so far!!! I absolutely love Melia's dragons (remember the Christmas Tree Dragon from Saturday!) and when I saw Frozen Dragon, I had to have him. He is just adorable with that pouty look on his face.



I used red flocking on his coat and on his hat, but it didn't photograph well. But, making this gift card holder was such a fun and easy project. I used double-sided patterned paper, folded it, stapled it and it was finished! Here are some side views of the project.




Thanks for stopping by, now it is time to head off to Meredith's blog! I can't wait to see what she has created!

On the Second Day of Christmas . . .

QKD gave to me two bicycle tires. What! LOL! Okay, I am trying to keep up with the theme of the song, but it really isn't working that well.

But my project for today is a card using the Ride with Me stamp set. I stamped the presents on another piece of cardstock and then layered on to my card base.



While this stamp set has all the extras that can work for the holidays, the bicycle part could also used for a layout about riding bikes, the first bike, etc.

So, today's project is somewhat of a non-traditional Christmas stamp set. Stay tuned for tomorrow's sneak peak blog hop. I have another dragon to share!!!!

On the First Day . . .

of Christmas, Queen Kat Designs gave to me a Dragon with a Christmas tree.



That's right! I am trying to get in the Christmas spirit and being the scrooge that I am, it is a struggle, but how can you not smile when you see that dragon! He is just adorable! That is one of the great parts of the Christmas stamps at QKD -- there are the traditional ones that I will share later on during my 12 Days of Christmas and the whimsical ones! And don't forget to think outside the box for Christmas ideas! So join me for these next days to see the fun ways to use Queen Kat Designs stamps for your Christmas projects.

Okay, it is another week of QKD Royal Monday Blog Hop! But before I get to the hop -- check out the new Twilight stamps in the store! Perfect for either Team Jacob or Team Edward!!!

Okay, now back to the challenge -- this week was an inspiration challenge, check out the QKD blog for the inspiration piece. You should have come from Helene's blog; if not head back to QKD blog and start from the beginning.

I pulled out my Basic Grey patterned paper and loved the blue colors in it, so I decided to use it for my card. Once I colored Sweet Lolita with blues and gave her some blond hair, I decided to back the blue with the orange/yellow Basic Grey. The white pattern in the orange/yellow BG reminded me of the chandelier from the inspiration piece.




Now, head off to Meredith's blog and see how she was inspired.
