Fun Folds

Welcome back to a NEW challenge at Shopping Our Stash and its a fun challenge, something other than a regular card. I love making fun fold cards and there are so many to choose from. I follow Creating with Kristina on You Tube and she makes a fun fold every Friday. I missed a few DT challenges as I was down and out with a bronchial virus for 8 weeks and I'm so happy to be feeling good, able to craft and make a Fun Fold card for the challenge.

This is a Bay Window Card and of course I used one of my favourite House Mouse designs, such fun images and great for all ages. I found the tutorial on Delight of my Art  You Tube you can find it HERE

Here is the inside of the card using a sentiment to follow through with the cup "cake" thee. 

        

A picture that shows the card folds flat for mailing. 

I will be adding this to:

Thanks for stopping by today and head over to the SOS blog and check out the fun folds the rest of the design team have made. Then make one and add it to our gallery. 

Remnants of a Missed Challenge

 Hello and welcome to a new challenge at Shopping Our Stash~~Crafty Remnants. What a great challenge as we all have extras on our desk and sometimes they are enough to make a full card. Going back to the first challenge of 2025 at the Jingle Belles to use something new and old I picked a new die I had just received when the PO strike was over and I decided to take it for a spin on the big shot, once done I cut the rest of the layers then life got in the way and when I checked the challenge was over. The only new items were Peace cut from glitter cardstock to match the sky and the white base. 

I have so many new ideas for this die, it makes a quick CAS card, Woah I made a CAS card. I think it would work as a shaker card and a great mini slimline. 

Close up of the scene sadly the colours on the Peace die cut don't show well.

Well now you have seen what I found on my desk it's time for you to do a January clean and show us your crafty remnants. Check out the great cards the design team  have made with their crafty stash.

Glitter Me Happy!!

 Hello and welcome to the first Shopping Our Stash challenge of 2025....Glitter me happy. Glitter makes me smile but only if I'm not using loose glitter. My first idea was a technique using tombow glue with a bit of water with glitter to look like snow/ice but neither of the two glitter containers were on the shelf, so Stardust stickles was my glitter of choice for my snow scene. 

I used one of my Gruffies (he was on my desk)  and a rectangle of smooshed watercolour paper (also found on my desk) to make a holiday card (it's never too soon to start) I coloured and fussy cut the sled and snowbank, flat attached the snow but popped up the gruffie and toque. The stardust stickles was liberally applied (maybe a tad too much) to the snow bank and the toque. Sentiment was on the desk from where I stamped holiday envelopes after the PO strike was over.

Flags made from leftover scraps and a favourite sentiment were added to the inside. 

This is my first card for my 2025  holiday stash.

I am adding this to:
