A Tiny Craft (ATC) Challenge - December: Happy Holidays

 Hello and welcome!

It's time for the December challenge at

A Tiny Craft (ATC) Challenge!

This month's theme is HAPPY HOLIDAYS.

Whatever holiday you celebrate at this time of year

is what we'd like to see!

Artist Trading Cards and Coins are both accepted.

We celebrate Christmas, so that's what I went with:

Here are some close ups:

All those fiddly die cuts! But I'm so happy with how these came out.

The background paper edges were swiped with a 

Veramark inkpad, then gold heat embossed. To continue

with the gold accents, all the flower centers were Stickled in gold.

I hope that you will join us in making some holiday ATC's and

link up at A Tiny Craft (ATC) Challenge! Need some more eye candy?

Just check out the blogs of my teammies to see their amazing creations.

We will be taking January off but will be back on February 15th

for the next challenge, so stay tuned!

From my home to yours, I wish you a very Merry Christmas

and a Happy New Year!

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #200 - S is for SNARKY!!

 

Hello snarky peeps and welcome!

We are celebrating our 200th challenge at the

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS!

Holy Crap! 200! Of course,

it is S for SNARKY!

To mark this historic event, we even have a sponsor!

LOST COAST DESIGNS has generously supplied

us with $10 for the winner to spend on their site!

You'll see that many of my Sistahs created snarky

Christmas projects, but your creation need not be

holiday specific to play along, just add some snark!

Here's what I came up with:

OMG, I made another CAS card. Who am I!

Love this sentiment paired with Tim's paper dolls.

I even tinted the boy's clothes with ink, but with my

crack photography skillz, you can't really tell.

I hope that you'll join Edna, my Sisters, and our current

reigning Queen, Michelle, and play along in our SNARKY

challenge at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers!

This is the last challenge of the year, but we will be back

SHOPPING OUR STASH #460 - Do You Want to Build a Snowman?

 

Hello crafty friends and welcome!

It's time for the last challenge of this year over at

SHOPPING OUR STASH:

Do You Want to Build a Snowman?

I'm pretty sure you've figured out that we want to see a 

snowman or more on your projects.

Here's what I came up with:

Here's the inside:

I broke out some ancient snowman stickers from my stash

for this card, along with some beloved Paper Smooches

sentiment stamps. On the front panel, I added a tiny heart

sticker, and when I was burnishing it with my bone folder,

I discovered it wasn't a heart, but a bird! LOL! 

I hope that you'll join us in our Snowman challenge at

Shopping Our Stash! Your projects don't necessarily need to

be holiday themed. Snowmen are around all winter, and people

do have birthdays in winter. Just sayin'. :)

Also, some news. As of this challenge, I'll be stepping down as a

design team member here. It was a hard decision to make,

but sometimes life gets in the way. I've loved the past

8 years being on this team, and will miss all these

wonderful, amazing, creative ladies. 

(But don't worry, I'll still be stalking the blog

and playing along!)

Thanks for visiting. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas

and a happy New Year!

Supplies:

Stamps: Paper Smooches -All Yule Need, Christmas Sampler

Hello and welcome crafty friends!

It's December 1st! HOW is it December 1st already?!

I'm pretty sure it was just August yesterday. 😉

Well, since it's a new month that means it's the start of a

new STAMPlorations Theme & Photo Prompt Challenge!

This month's theme is stamps and candles.

As always, you can use just the theme, just the photo, or

combine both on your projects. My card uses mostly the

theme, but it does use colors from the photo:

I started by stamping the Christmas Candles large image onto

my panel and coloring with Spectrum Noir markers. I added

a thin frame around it using black glitter card stock.

I stamped one of the sentiments from the Christmas Bell Medley set in the

corner then adhered to a green card base. On the inside I

stamped a sentiment from the Yuletide Deer stamp set.

It's hard to tell but the flames and poinsettia centers received a 

healthy dose of diamond Stickles, and the candles were winked

by Stella.

I hope that you'll join us and link up your project at

STAMPlorations Theme & Photo Prompt Challenge!

We'd love to see how you interpret the challenge.
