SHOPPING OUR STASH #382 - Washi Washi Washi!

Welcome back crafty friends!

This week's challenge at 

SHOPPING OUR STASH is a fun one:

Use Washi tape on your project!

I have a couple dozen tapes that I very rarely use, so

this was the perfect challenge for me to use some of them.

Here's my card:

and the inside:

I simply made rows of a bunch of colorful tapes, then die cut

the tree. I added some gold glitter paper behind the cut out for a 

bit of glitz, and finished off with a die cut sentiment.

Since I had the tree die cut, I made another card:

and the inside:

That green paper behind the tree is some ancient paper I've been hoarding. It is

glossy and has the feel of vinyl rather than paper. Very fun and funky!

Now's your turn to break out those neglected Washi tapes and have some fun

using them! Be sure to link up at Shopping Our Stash so that we can admire it!

If you're in need of more inspiration, do check out what my fabulous teammies

have created using Washi tape!

Thanks for visiting and I hope you have a great day!

Yum....cake!

Hello and happy Saturday to you!

I'm just popping in with a card I made for a few challenges.

Lots of stash shopping went into this card.

The sentiment is from an American Crafts set dated back in 2008;

the cake is from an MFT set dated 2010! There are a lot of metallic touches on this card:

 the gold embossed sentiment, gold floss on the die cut tag, gold sequins. I even edged 

the tag, white die cut circle and edge of the DP in gold ink! The cake was colored 

with Spectrum Noir markers then I went over the icing with a WOS pen. 

You can see the shimmer a bit more in this pic:

Guess it's time for me to get a move on and start putting up some Christmas decorations.

There should be an icy/rain mix arriving soon to our neck of the woods, so

indoors I shall stay. LOL!

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day!

Holiday bells

Hi there and welcome friends!

I hope that all who celebrated Thanksgiving yesterday had

a wonderful day, filled with family, friends, and food!

I'm popping in with a card I've made for the 

Time Out Challenge #123. We are prompted to use

black, white, and one other color. 

I've gone with gold for my choice:

here's the inside:

I die cut that fabulous Doodled Christmas Bells cover plate in black card stock, 

and filled in the bell with gold glitter paper, using the cuts from this card. 

(I couldn't let those pieces go to waste!) That's adhered to a white card base, then

 I finished the front off with a simple sentiment that was gold embossed

 onto a strip of black card.

That's all for now. I never brave the Black Friday crazies out on the roads, so 

I'll just have to make more Christmas cards. (wink)

Thanks for visiting, and I hope you have a great day!

SHOPPING OUR STASH #381 - Inspired by a Food or Beverage Label

Hello and welcome back my friends!

This week I'm hosting at SHOPPING OUR STASH,

and I've picked another crazy challenge for you. LOL!

This week, we want you to make something that was 

inspired by a food or beverage label!

For my card, I was inspired by the Harvester wine label:

and the inside:

I used two stamps from the same set, and with the help of

some masking, created my flowery panel.

I gotta say, this was so much fun to make!

Now it's your turn! So many ideas are out there. Be sure to link up

at Shopping Our Stash so we can admire them! For more ideas,

SHOPPING OUR STASH #380 Tic-Tac-Toe

Hiya crafty friends and welcome back!

This week at SHOPPING OUR STASH, Mimi is your hostess

and she's created this lovely Tic-Tac-Toe board

for you to be inspired by!

For my card, I've used the center column-

Stamps/stash more than 5 yrs old/Happy Birthday:

Yes, I realize that the mug of beer stamp is rather new, but the

sentiment below it comes from a stamp set from 2013.

Also, the papers I've used are from a collection from 2012.

I stamped Happy Birthday on the inside, along

with some tiny word stamps to say

'Holy Sh*t You're 30!'

This was already sent out last week to my nephew who

turned 30 yesterday. OMG! My family members are

getting older! (As for me, I refuse to grow up. *wink*)

So now it's your turn to break out that much loved hoarded paper,

those beloved stamps, that bit of leftover ribbon you've

been holding on to for years to use on a 'special' project. 

We'd love to see it, so be sure to link up at Shopping Our Stash

so we can admire it! For more ideas, do check out what my

lovely teammies have come up with for this challenge!

Thanks for visiting, and I hope you have a fantastic day!

Ahh, a sketch challenge with lots of layers!

Hey all, I'm popping in with a card I've made based on the

newly resurrected Mojo Monday #502! I'm so

happy that Julee brought it back, because

sketches with lots of layers are my thing,

and there doesn't seem to be many left out there in blogland.

I may have basically cased her card, (thank you for the inspiration Julee!),

 but I've put my own spin on it. Check it:

and the inside:

 

Lots of stash shopping with this one. And can you believe that

poinsettia stamp was just inked for the first time? (since 2012!)

Really, the only thing newish on this card is the twig dies, which I 

purchased at the beginning of the year. (or the end of last year).

That's it for now. I'm going to go get my jammies on

and relax with my hubby and fur baby now.

Have a good evening!

SHOPPING OUR STASH #379 - It's Raining Cats & Dogs

 Hey crafty friends!

It's time for a new challenge at

SHOPPING OUR STASH!

This week's challenge is called:

It's Raining Cats & Dogs.

Anything showing a cat, dog, or rain even, is good!

Here's the card I made:

and the inside:

 

I searched my stash and came across this never-before-been-inked pup stamp!

How cute is he?! I colored him up with my Spectrum Noir markers.

I remembered that I had a couple 12" x 12" papers from the Raining Cats & Dogs

collections by Graphic 45 and so had to use some.

Now it's your turn to break out your dog and/or cat items and join us

here at Shopping Our Stash! For more ideas, do yourself a favor and
