The Holly and Ivy #42

Hello! Here we are in December, who's got their cards out ? Not me. I have plenty done, but I signed up for a last minute craft show this weekend. So I will send out my cards from what I don't sell this weekend or I'll spend all day Sunday making more to send out. This is one I mass produced for the previous shows and it has proved to be a good seller. The stamp is from the Ton stamps. Anyone else stalk Effie's videos on you tube? Her coloring skills are fabulous. As always the challenge is an anything goes..so play along . Thanks for stopping by today.

Hello! I'm sharing my card for this week's color challenge. We've asked you to re-visit our previous color challenges and make one a seasonal card. Mine is from challenge #288, I hosted that challenge and truth be told and made both cards at the same time. I wasn't happy with the background panel when  I made it for the witch card, it wasn't spooky feeling to me. So I made it a Christmas card and saved it for this challenge. It was great to be prepared early. I can't wait to see what color combos everyone picks, should be interesting. Thanks for stopping by.

Hello! Welcome to our 300th challenge! I'm excited to be a part of it. This is my 2nd year as part of this DT and I really feel I've grown as a cardmaker since joining. I now push myself out of my comfort zone. Sometimes projects end up in the trash , but I keep trying. I really had fun with this card. I wanted to create a fun birthday card for our birthday challenge. I used the birthday ballons stamp and die set from PTI and SSS balloons die (larger balloon) , went with rainbow colors to add a festive feel to the card. I hope you will join in the fun and play along with us. Thanks for stopping by today.

Hello! Only a few more days until Thanksgiving. Who's ready to mail out their Christmas cards? ME!
It has helped so much to create cards all year long. I love snowmen , so this fun die from MFT was a must have for me.  I think I will try this die with another sentiment for a fun winter themed card in the future. I hope you play along with us. Thanks for stopping by today.

Hello! I'm back with a card for this week's color challenge. Don't these colors scream Christmas to you? They did to me.I used a PTI stamp called botanical blocks IV.  I am very picky about my "Holly" stamps. My older sister's name was Holly, she was born on Christmas. This is my 23rd Christmas since her passing, still miss her. I hope you will play along with us. Thanks for stopping by.

Santa

Hello! I've been really busy today and hardly had a moment to sit down. I've excited to play with this die from Spellbinders. Who doesn't love Santa? I can't get enough Santa stamps or dies. My mom loves Santa and has her whole tree decorated with Santa ornaments. I'll save this one for her. I'm playing along with the following challenges: Color Throw down and CAS Christmas card challenge. Thanks for stopping by today.

Greetings to all ! I'm sharing my card for this week's sketch challenge. While making this card I discovered that I only have 1 "Let it snow" sentiment . You read that correctly, only 1. No die cuts either. I must correct this TODAY!!!! SO as soon as I finish this post I will be shopping !!! I have 6 snowflake dies, 3 snowman dies , 4 snowflakes stamp/die combo, and 12 snowman stamp and stamp die combo. How did I not notice this yet? So I used the funky snowflake die from SSS and some fun patterned paper I've been hoarding. If you check back on a previous post you can see how I used the negative space and the paper for a different card. I really loved the look of the grey for this. I'm going to have to get more of that paper from Hobby Lobby. I hope you will play along too. Also playing along with Happy Little Stampers Christmas challenge. Thanks for stopping by today.
