Inky Paws Challenge #56

You all know that I am a huge fan of Newton's Nook Designs.  I decided to do something a little different for my project today.  I noticed on the Inky Paws Challenge #56 that they were having a color challenge. 
I love playing along with these challenges because it gives me a chance to use my adorable stamps. 
I am getting ready to go on a retreat and wanted to make gift bags for everyone.  I used the stamp set Boo Crew and colored the images.  I cut a piece of halloween paper into a 4 1/2" square.  I folded it in half and cut a window out for the handle and added ribbon.  I then adhered a few embellishments along with the colored image.
So now I only have 54 more treat bags to make.

Thanks for stopping by to see my post for the day.

Challenge Your Stash

Since today is the 28th, it means that it is time for "Challenge Your Stash".  Today's challenge was from Terry.  Her challenge was to use Washi tape.  Well that was not a problem for me because I have a real weakness for washi tape when I see it in the store.  I don't use it very often but I always enjoy looking at it. 
I went to my halloween stash and used the coordinating tapes for my background.  I am not exactly sure where the stamp came from because a friend just handed me the image and asked me to color it and make it in to a card.  So here is my fun card for Terry's challenge.

Prickley Pear Kitty and Holly

Today I am posting a card made from the new release this month from Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps.  It was my favorite stamp from this set.  The stamp is called Kitty and Holly
I think this card reminds me of my two orange tabbies and the trouble they get in to with all the Christmas decorations when they are out.   Cats seem to be so curious about everything.  Bring out a box and they are there.

I stamped the image on Neenah Classic Crest Paper with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.  I then colored it with my copic markers.  I used red stickles on the berries to give it a little sparkle and green on the holly to have it shine.  The sentiment is also from the new release set called Welcome Christmas.

I know I will be making several more of these cards because I love the image.  Be sure and check out the Prickley Pear Blog to see what the other design team members designed this week.

I decided to enter in the following challenge:

MFT Innovation Master Superstar

Since there were 3 different categories in the superstar contest, I thought I might as well try all 3.  I decided to enter this card in the 2017 Card Design Superstar contest. The 3rd category was Innovation Master which means an interactive card of some kind. 

For my card today I started with the cute little stamp set called Fierce Friends
I had seen this tutorial online about a folded card and have been wanting to try it for a long time.  So I started with an 8 x 8" piece of brown cardstock and first scored 2" all the way around.  Once you see the inside you will see where else I scored.  I then cut out 12 pieces of 1 3/4" x 1 3/4" pieces of vanilla cardstock and stamped away with different stamps for the Fierce Friend Stamp set.  This is what the inside looked like.

This was such a fun card to make and will continue to make more.

Thanks for stopping by to see my card and thanks also to My Favorite Things for having this wonderful contest.

Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

I am on a roll making cards for the Fall Coffee Lovers Bloghop.  Such a great bloghop and I am having so much fun bringing out my coffee stamps.
For this card I took a piece of 4" x 5 1/4" watercolor cardstock and stamped the dry embossed the Lawn Fawn leaves and then used watercolor crayons to color in the images.  I then stamped a coffee cup stamp from  Papertrey Ink.  The sentiment is also from the Papertrey Ink Set.  

Thanks for stopping by and be sure and check out the blog with all the fantastic sponsors and other creation people who have made a project for this hop.

For this card I took a piece of 4" x 5 1/4" vanilla cardstock and stamped the various fall leaves from the Close To My  Heart fall leaf set.  I then stamped a couple coffee stamps from the coffee cup Papertrey Ink set.  The sentiment is from The Angel Company that is no longer in business.
