WHITE-out

 Welcome back to a NEW challenge at Shopping Our Stash, the challenge for this fortnight is a White-out challenge, create a card that features NO WHITE.  I thought it was an opportunity to make a non-traditional holiday card, I really need to work on my stash. I shopped "as usual" in my parts box and found some die-cuts, probably from last years holiday crafting and I made a card around them using not a speck of white. 

I started out with a teal base, a layer of aqua mirror cardstock and a layer of pale aqua which was embossed with a Darice music folder. The bells are silver and bows are in the aqua mirror cardstock. The sentiment is silver as are the chains hanging the bells, both I believe are from Starform. 

The inside was finished with a scrap of aqua mirror cardstock a silver bell and a bow and the sentiment is a very old Hero Arts vertical stamp. 

I am adding this to:

Jingle Belles Challenge ~~ We Three Kings

Thanks for stopping by today, check out the rest of the design team cards then put away that white cardstock and dig out the pretty colours and add a card to the gallery. 

I'm Counting On You!!

 Another two weeks has flown by, am I the only one that thinks days and weeks just fly by? It just seems like we were celebrating the new year and now it's March and closer to spring. All the huge piles of snow have melted with the warmer weather and it didn't take as long as I thought. That being noted I need to tell you about the new challenge at Shopping Our Stash, I'm Counting On You which we want to see a number or numbers on your card and since it's March guess what number is on my card.

Yep you are right March 17, St. Patrick's Day!! I used my super cute Shamrock Fluffles Stamp and using a "sheetload" sketch a couple of patterned papers from a 6X6 pad. And there is more.....

As per the cutting guide of SUYSNov2024 using the two 6X6 pieces of patterned paper 1 piece of cardstock and two A2 bases it made two super cute cards 

Finished the inside of both cards with a sentiment and a couple of left over scraps of patterned paper, there very little waste. I didn't have a proper St. Patrick's sentiment with my old printer I would find a free sentiment site and computer generate it but I have not tried with the new printer yet. 

Thanks for visiting today and I hope to see your project in our gallery. 

C is for Cold

 Welcome to a new challenge at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers, the prompt or the month of March is C is for Cold. I heard we will be having another "cold" snap next weekend so I'm going to enjoy the double digits while I can. Sorry no Edna prompt this challenge, my laptop was being a pita and I finally lost patience after 2 hours of trying to get pages to load, good job there was only one photo to edit.  

I used the snow-bear grumpling and  the sentiment from the same set, I found the sky, snowbanks, and trees in my "parts" box so I was half way  already. I fussy cut the snow-bear flat attached the base but popped up the head and body, wasn't sure about doing the fussy cutting as my scissors are mia, and I just fussy cut a santa yesterday. I'm going to blame the cat on this one. 

Thanks for stopping by today and hope to see your C is for Cold project on our gallery.
