Treat/ Gift Card Holder

Hello! Today I have a fun little Treat/Gift Card holder for you. It's for the "Anything But A Card Challenge" over on Stamp TV. We were to make a treat holder. I think it makes a cute gift card holder too. Carolina has this cute little mitten template there for us to use. It is also for the Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge and the Crazy 4 Challenge's challenge to make a Gift Card holder. The All That Scraps Weekly Wednesday Challenge this week is any thing Christmas! I think this is a fun way to hand out those gift card Christmas presents. Thanks for stopping by!

Poinsettia Watering Can

Hello! It's starting to look and feel like winter! We had 3+ inches of snow yesterday. It was Beautiful this morning with the trees all covered in snow. Love this kind of snow, it's to warm out to stick on the roads and it's gone in a day or so!

On to my card. I don't usually make square cards because I don't have any clear envelopes/sleeves to stick them in but I had this Beautiful Poinsettia image that I received from my friend Stacy over on SCS and it was to large for a normal A2 size card. The base of my card is a 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 Embossed card from DCVW. This is another multiple challenge card. I used the color challenge on Stamp TV. The colors were Red, Green, and Gold. I used the Sketch Saturday sketch # 80. The Creative Card Crew challenge this week was to make a Christmas card. The Incy Wincy Challenge is to use Red & Green and Rosie & Dee's challenge was Red, Green and a bit of Bling! I think it also fits the Flourishes Timeless Tuesday challenge which was a CAS card this week. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great week!

Blue Christmas

Hello! Today's card is a another multiple challenge card! I used the Stamp TV Potluck Challenge to "Show our Wrinkles"! I misted the music BG layer with some water and "wrinkled" it up. The ABC Challenge this week is the letter "I" for Indigo Blue. The Cuttlebug Challenge this week is "Glitter". I stamped the image with Colorbox Frost White ink and covered it with Snowflake Embossing Tinsel by Ranger. The tree is very sparkly! The PaperPlay Challenge this week was Christmas without Red or Green and the A Spoon full of Sugar was a non traditional (no red or green) Christmas. The Sophisti-Cat Challenge this week was Snowflakes and Sparkle. I used the CB snowflake embossing folder and the tree is full of sparkle! Thanks to Avril for the heads up this is also for the Tuesday Taggers challenge to use a Christmas Carol. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great weekend!

Christmas Kitty

Hello! Today I have another multiple challenge card for you! The Stampin' Sisters in Christ challenge this week was to have a present somewhere on your card. When I saw the High Hopes sketch challenge this week I knew that I could turn the one panel into a present pretty easily. It's also for the La-La's weekly Wednesday challenge which was to use buttons and for the Stamp TV technique challenge to use Liquid Applique. It's for the Pollycraft Monday challenge to create something with a Christmas theme and for the Kraftin Kimmie challenge which is Touchy Feely. I think the Liquid Applique works for that and I did some dry embossing also! I'm tickled with how this card turned out! Thanks for stopping by and let me know what you think. Have a great day!

It's time for another CSS Challenge hop! This time Jessica has challenged us to stamp and color on DP and to use glitter. I used my Sakura clear stardust pen on the topiary and on the butterflies. I couldn't get a good picture to show the sparkle. Thanks to my friend Julie for helping me out with a hat pin! I always wanted to try one! As a bonus we could decorate the inside of of our cards to coordinate, so I used some of the same DP and more butterfly punches on the inside. Deceided to leave off the sentiment that way I have a blank card handy! Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of the hop!

Lucky

Today I thought I'd share a photo that I took a couple of weeks ago while trying to photograph some of my cards. This is Lucky he is a spoiled rotten baby and likes to "help" me. It makes picture taking very interesting. I have to make sure there are no paws or a tail in my pictures! I may share more kitty photo's in the future as Lucky is one of many! They seem to have a way of finding me. Happy Thanksgiving!!

It's a Small World

I was supposed to go to Ephrata to L&L Rubber Stamps last week but my SIL couldn't get off work to go along with me so I just waited and went myself today. I was talking to another customer there and she said I looked familiar and wondered if I was on Stamp TV, I said yes!! She asked if I was Janice and again I said Yes! The funny thing is a couple of weeks ago on Stamp TV I was telling her, ma54k aka Mary Anne about L&L and gave her the address. What are the chances that we'd both show up there at the same time??!!! She is jumping on the Copic bandwagon and her DH was getting them for her for Christmas. I helped her pick out some of the basic must have colors, IMO. Can't wait to see the cards she makes with them! I've since heard that since her Birthday is on Thursday(Thanksgiving day) her DH said Happy Birthday and let her have them now!! How sweet is that?? Have fun Mary and Happy Birthday!!
