The Golden Years

 Hello and welcome to a new challenge at Shopping Our Stash, the Golden Years yep I think I'm there LOL, kidding aside we want your to make a card featuring the colour GOLD. Lots of great ideas for the colour gold, golden anniversary, wedding card, confirmation and the one I chose was Christmas mainly because  I need to build my Holiday card stash.

 
I have gone the "easy route" and used some patterned cardstock from a paper pad from the dollar store I bought 2 years ago, I might have bought more than one. The snowflake wreath is really hard to see, it was plan "b" as I could not find the original die (found it after I was finished). The JOY die is one I have had a long time but never used, there is a word die and a shadow and because I wanted to pop it up I cut the shadow out of gold mirror cardstock. (also from the dollar store)

Finished the inside with a scrap of the patterned paper and a sentiment I found in the off cuts box.

Thanks for stopping by today and check out how the rest of the design team have featured gold.

Bent Out of Shape

 Welcome to a new challenge at Shopping Our Stash and the theme is Bent Out of Shape which is just make a shaped card (no squares or rectangles allowed). I have received really cute shaped cards one was a gorgeous layered butterfly birthday card and a super adorable mitten card for Christmas swap and if you have been to the main blog there are yummy cupcakes, now for me it's a circle easel card.

I had already decided I was making a "rocker" card but for some reason, being in a hurry I could not locate my infinity circles that I use so on to plan B I knew where this die set was so thought I might be able to adapt it to make the rocker card but when looking for it I found this whole set die cut and was never glued together BONUS. I have had it several years and it's so pretty. The gems I used are from my stash they are many years old. I had 3 packages of purple to pick from too.

Side view of the easel and the Birthday sentiment is popped up.

Best part is it folds flat for mailing in a square envelope.

Thanks for stopping by today and check out the shaped cards the rest of the design team have made.

B is for Black Black Heart

 Hello and welcome to a new month and a new challenge at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers!!

The theme is Valentine with black or anti Valentine. Took me a while to figure something out but I saw a meme that caught my fancy and went with it and a snarky cat.

Since my great grandson is all Halloween I'm giving this to him for Valentines day, he might agree with the quote. 

I found the scrap of glitter black cardstock in the black file folder, I cut the heart and flat attached it all but the top bit so I could tuck the cat in it. The snarky cat is flat attached under the heart but the rest is elevated as you can see in the photo.

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to check out the rest of the design team cards on the  Main Blog.
