Challenge Your Stash

 Well I don't know how it happened but the month of November has just flown by.  I almost forgot today is the 28th and that I needed to post my card I made for our Challenge Your Stash Group on Splitcoaststampers.  Kari was our hostess this month and her theme was to reuse/recycle/repurpose.  

For my card I used this adorable stamp set from Close to my heart called Gnome For Christmas.  I colored the images with my copic markers and then fussy cut them out.  My reuse part of the card is at the bottom where I used some polyfill stuffing from a pillow I was going to throw away.  Thought it would make perfect snow.  

Thanks Kari for a great challenge and helping us to "Think outside the box".  

PIP Challenge #2147

 I am excited for our challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies this week.  Our Challenge this week (#2147) is being sponsored by Lawn Fawn.  I just love all the adorable stamps that Lawn Fawn has.  

The hardest part for me this month on the challenge was which stamp set should I use?  I have so many and it was a tough decision.  Since Christmas is right around the corner I have decided to use the Snow Globe Scenes stamp set.  

I think foxes are just the cutest animals and have such fun personalities so of course I had to use a fox in my card.  I stamped the fox/star image on tan paper and then colored the image.  I cut out the snow globe and then cut out the center circle.  I added an acrylic circle behind the snow globe and then used thin foam tape to adhere to the fox image.  I added some glitter before adhering to the image.  I used some snowflake paper for the background and used the Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside border for the bottom of the card.

This was such a fun shaker card to make.  Thanks for stopping by and be sure and check out what the rest of the design team has created over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies for our challenge this week.

Classy Card Ladies

 Well I don't know how it happened but the 15th of the month has rolled around again which means it is time for our Classy Card Ladies challenge.  This is our last challenge for the year as we will be taking the month of December off.  Our challenge this month is sent from Carol and Shelly.  

Carol and Shelly decided our theme this month would be Celebrate the seasons and play tic-tac-toe.

For the Tic-Tac-Toe challenge we are to pick a row of three and use all of those elements on your card.  For my card I decided to use the center row which includes Ribbon, Ornament and a Christmas Tree.  You will see on my card below that I embossed the tree with gold embossing powder which has ornaments hanging from the tree.  I used some gold ribbon at the bottom of the Merry Christmas Paper strip. 

The items I used for this card are:

Image - Unity Christmas Tree of Hope, Joy, Love

Designer Paper - Paper Studio

Ribbon - Hobby Lobby

It is always fun to see what the other girls do with the image sent.  Shelly actually sent me the Unity stamp which will be a great addition to my Christmas Stamps.  Click on each name below and see what the other girls did with the challenge this month.

PIP Challenge #2145

 Time for Challenge #2145 over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies Challenges.  Today's challenge is being sponsored by Cas-ual Fridays Stamps.

                                           

For my card today I decided to use a digital stamp that they have in their store called "Patridge Digi".  I am thrilled that they have digital stamps and clear stamps to choose from.  

I printed the image off on my printer and then colored it with my copic markers.  The sentiment comes with the stamp set.  The background papers are from LDRS Creative called Christmas Cottage.

Be sure and check out the Cas-Ual Fridays Stamps store because they have some wonderful stamps to choose from.

Challenge Your Stash

 Today is reveal day for our Challenge Your Stash group on Splitcoaststampers.  Sue was our hostess this month and she challenged us to make a masculine card.  

My great nephews birthday is November 1 so I decided to make him a birthday card.  He is an avid baseball player so I had purchased this image on canvas a while back thinking I would do something with it.  I took the canvas off the cardboard and cut it down to a 4 3/4 x 6 3/4 size.  I then colored the image with my copic markers.  I added the number 32 because that is his number on all his teams.  (It was his mommas number when she played so a tribute to her).  I also added the Happy Birthday on the front.

This was a fun card to make and a little out of the ordinary but I'm sure he will like it.  He will definitely like the cash inside.  

PIP Challenge #2143

 Time again for another challenge over at Pammie's Inky Pinkies.  We are doing Challenge #2143 and it is being sponsored by Beccy's Place.  

You find find some adorable digital images at her store.  Be sure and check it out. 

For my card today I decided to use the Merle Digital Stamp from Beccy's Place.  I have a friend who loves Giraffes so I thought I would get a jump on my Christmas cards and make her a card.

I colored the image with my copic markers and even used some glossy accents on the lights.  The sentiment is from the same stamp set.  I used the stitched mini slim stacklet from Taylored Expressions to cut out the giraffe.  I then used the petite Scallop Mini Slim Stacklet for the red part of the card.

I am loving the mini slimline cards.  So easy to make.

Thanks for stopping by and be sure and check out what the other members of the design team have done for our challenge this week. 

Classy Card Ladies

 Is it really October?  Can't believe this month is just flying by.  Since today is the 15th, this means time for our Classy Card Ladies Challenge.  LJ and Darlene are our hostesses this month and they came up with a wonderful challenge.  The challenge was to use Snarky or Humorous sentiments for our card.

The sentiments are from Neat and Tangled.  I decided to add a dog from Newtons Nook to my card and then I found a free digital image of a fire hydrant.  The paper is by Lawn Fawn called Really Rainbow.  

Such a fun challenge.  Be sure and check out all the other Classy Card Ladies and see what they came up with for the challenge this month.

I colored the image with my copic markers and pop dotted it on to my card.  I hope you enjoyed my card.  You can see what the rest of the Classy Card Ladies did with our challenge by clicking on their names below.
