Happy 4th Creative Challenge

 Hello Guys!!

Today I have a fun post for you.

 In the past my friend Wendy at WeeBeeStampin4Fun 

have occasionally challenged each other with a color, theme or whatever challenge.

This time Wendy threw down the challenge.

Our Creative Challenge this time is a 4th of July themed treat holder 

using a template we have had for years.

Here are my Red, White and Blue treat Holders:

I really didn't have any 4th of July stamps or paper in my stash, so off I went to find some.

I love this little stamp set, it has no name or maker on the packing, it also has matching dies

I also found the DSP ay a local craft store.

I used a different pattern on each one.

I used a die from the Nested Essentials die set to make the whit piece to mount my images on.

I see in this picture that my top DSP is not glued down very well lol!! I will fix that before giving these away.

The template for these is one you just print onto the cardstock and cut out.

I used Night of Navy, Real Red
 and Basic White.

Each one is decorated a little different. 

I think they turned out cute!

I filled them with Patriotic M&M's

Be sure and head over to Wendy's Blog to see her take on this template,

 I am sure it will be amazing; she is after all the Treat Holder Maker queen!!!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hi There

 Good morning, Peeps!!

Today I have a pretty little card to share. I was inspired by

the color challenge at The Paper Players 

You could use 3 colors or all the colors, 

I used Strawberry Slush, Lemon Lime Twist and Coastal Cabana.

My card:

I used the retired Mixed Medium Florals. I stamped the image with Memento Black ink. I colored using my Wink of Stella pen and my ink pads and refills.

The image is so sparkly in person, I tried to capture the sparkle in photos, but I couldn't.

I used a base of Strawberry Slush followed by a layer of white. The DSP is from the Mixed Up Patterns pack

I used the Stones and Vines EF, on the layer behind the focal image I just got this one and I love it!

My sentiment is from the More Messages stamp set,

I finished with some Strawberry Slush sequins and a white twine bow.

Thanks for coming by today!

Merry Christmas

 Hello Guys!

Today's card share is made using the challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown 

and the challenge at Christmas Kickstart Challenge:

My card:

I pulled out my retired Festive Friends Bundle.

I have to say first up that the orange on my car is very minute just on the snowgirls nose, but it is there so it counts right?

I stamped the 2 images with Memento Black ink and colored with my Blends.

I die cut them out using the matching dies.

The base of the card is Thick Whisper White and then I used a piece of Pretty in Pink cardstock an embossed with the Winter Snow EF. (retired)

I die cut a rectangle using a die in the Nste Essentials for my main image.

I die cut a couple of the trees in the Festive Friends dies using Summer Splash and added them to the rectangle and then added my Snowgirl and Elf image to this with dimensionals.

The sentiment and snowflake die cuts are from the same bundle.

I finished with a few adhesive dots.

Thanks for coming by today!

Thank you so much

Hello Peeps!

Sorry I missed a few days here. We had a bad storm blow through and I literally mean blow through. 

We had one heck of a thunderstorm with 80+ mile per hour winds. It took out houses, trees, alot of trees, cell service for some and power. Power poles were downed and so much of the area was without power for a while. Personally, I lost power around 11 on Saturday night and it was just restored on Monday around noon, for me. Some others sooner and some others it was longer. I am thankful for friends and neighbors who helped out so much, A neighbor and his grandson, cut up and remove the large limbs that was in my yard. Since losing my husband they have been a big support for me, mowing and other small things. Sone people really come through when it is so needed.

Now onto my card for today. I made this one using

the challenge at Try a Sketch on Tuesday.

My card:

I used the pretty new Violet Dreams Suite, coming in July.

I stamped the image with Memento Black ink

and colored with my Blends.

The pretty oval stamp is in the set, along with the dies to cut it all out.

I stamped the oval with a background stamp that is in the set using Gray Granite and then added the violets to it using dimensionals.

I used Fresh Freesia for my card base. 

I then used a piece of Highland Heather an added the strips to that layer using some DSP from the matching pack. 

I then embossed it using the Stone and Vine EF.

The sentiment comes from a retired set called Simply Zinnia.

I finished up with a couple of yellow dots in the flower centers an also 3 butterflies.

and finally, a small Fresh Freesia bow.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Just a Little Note

Hello guys!!

 Today I have a fun card to share that I mae using the sketch challenge at 

CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge

Since I have been doing a lot of challenges from different sites, I generally just copied the challenge graphic and saved on my desktop.

I knew I wanted to use this sketch, I had an idea right away and since I love a square card I jumped right in.

My card:

I didn't realize it when I was making my card what challenge this was from,

it is a Clean and Simple Challenge.

I probably won't be linking it over there, since it is not really a CAS car, but it's cute and wanted to show it anyway.

I used the cute Cutest Crew stamp set.

I usd Crumb Cake cardstock for my base and the DSP is from the Easter Basket Suite of Products.

I stamped and colored up the kittens and cut out with the matching die.

I only wanted the three kittens, so I just cut them apart to use the three I wanted.

I used the Nested Essentials to die cut the white rectangle; the Crumb Cake Tag I die cut out and then cut down the top to make it a tag.

I stamped some kitty paws across the bottom of the white piece with Black Memento ink and the sentiment is stamped at the top in black as well. 

I added the row of kittens to the tag with dimensionals.

The tag was added to the card with dimensionals.

I use a small hole punch to make a hole at the top of the tag.

The red strip is a die from the same set. I added some red ribbon tied with some linen thread through the hole at the top

I finished with a few red rhinestones I had in my stash. 

Well, I hope you enjoy my not so CAS square card.

Thanks for stopping by today!
