Challenge Your Stash

 Where oh where did 2024 go?  I can't believe we are actually winding down this year.  Since today is the 28th, this means it is time to post my creation for our Challenge Your Stash on Splitcoaststampers.  We are to use something in our stash and not purchase anything for the challenge.  Our hostess this month is Barb and she challenged us to make a Christmas Card with non-traditional colors.

I decided to go with different shades of blue on my Christmas card for the challenge.  The stamp set I used is called "Smitten Stamp Set" from Dare 2b Artzy.  Th paper I used is from Hello Winter by Echo Park Paper.  I just tried to match the blues in the designer paper and colored the images.  I then fussy cut them and put different scraps of paper on the front of the card.

Creative Crew

 This month's theme for our Creative Crew group comes from Terry and her theme is Thanks Snow Much.  What a fun theme but I hope this doesn't mean we have alot of snow in our future!  HA!  I do not like cold or snow.  I love warmth....  But I do have to admit that the theme Terry came up with is lots of fun.

The stamp set used for my card is called "Bear Hugs" from Taylored Expressions.  We just used scraps of designer paper for the background.  I thought it would be fun to just use different strips of paper for the card.  The gems are from The Paper Studio.

Thanks to Terry for this great challenge.  You can see what the rest of the team did by clicking on their name below.

PIP Challenge #2449

December really seems to be winding down.  Christmas will be here before you know it.  This week's challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies Challenges is being sponsored by Newtons Nook Designs.  

I absolutely love their stamps over at Newton's Nook Designs.  I had intended to use something new I purchased from Newton's Nook Designs but it did not arrive in time which means I waited too long to order.  I am kind of a last minute gal.

For my card today I am using the stamp set "Frosty Folks" from Newton's Nook.  Unfortunately this stamp is retired and no longer available but I just loved it and had to use it.  If you are looking for cute snowmen images, go to Newtons Nook HERE.  The faces on these adorable snowmen are just so cute.

I colored the image with my copic markers and then fussy cut the image out.  I used some scrap pieces of designer paper that I had and came up with this cute little card.  I am happy to say I have another Christmas card for my stash.  Now if they would all get mailed I would be a happy camper. 

I am also entering this card in Inky Paws Challenge where you were to post a holiday card you are working on.  

Hopefully my new stamps and dies will arrive this week and I will be able to post another card.  In the mean time be sure and join us over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies Challenges and create something for the challenge this week.
