Summertime......

Welcome to a new challenge at Shopping Our Stash and the theme is Summertime, create a card featuring something you would see or experience in the summer. So many options and I had so many ideas and that is where I usually get behind as I can't make up my mind which I want to make. Here is what I decided to make.

I had 2 Happy Hopper stamps picked and this is the one I chose to use for my card. The patterned paper is called Sea Sparkle from Marianne designs and perfect for  a beach scene.  The sketch I used is a Sheetload from November 2024, it's one of my favourites, I added a few sparkly mini sequins because everything is better with bling, and a "fun" diecut.

Finished the inside with a Printworks wood block sentiment and a scrap of patterned paper.

25 Days of Christmas Tags 2017 ~~ Day 3

I'm a bit behind with my "days" Friday was an unusually busy day and we left for the cottage early evening, this weekend is last until spring. For us it's an extra weekend as we are closing it for the winter. Once home I will have all my craft supplies in one place and not have to wonder where something is. Tracy Neely at In My Creative Opinion is hosting 25 days of Christmas Tags 2017 and although I'm playing catch up it's ok, you too can jump in at any time just check out the rules HERE

There were so many to choose from but I chose Kelly Griglione's tag. Now I have a sleigh die from Marianne Creatables but of course took it home last weekend (story of my creating) but I had a white shiny sleigh but the copic marker wouldn't colour it so I did the next best thing and reversed the colours. Here is Kelly's tag.

Adorable tag love the striped ribbon.

The holly leaves are a die cut and I have no idea who's it is or where I got it from but for some reason it was here at the cottage in a box. For the berries I used glitter stickers from Starform in red/gold.

Jingle Belles Rock the Pink Christmas for the cure take #7

So happy I could finish another card for the Jingle Belles Challenge, I cut two Marianne Designs ornaments and only used one so I couldn't see the second pink glitter ornament just sitting around and Tuesday Morning Sketches had the perfect sketch for me to use.

Although the ornament looks copper it is really pink. I layered it on some white sparkle paper and used the same for the snowflakes.  

close up but it still looks copper, these ornament dies I bought at least 4 years ago and it's the first time they have been cut.  Oh dear....I'm a hoarder.

Finished the inside with a Impression Obsession  sentiment.

Here comes Santa Claus.......

The jolly old fella is making his appearance at the Jingle Belle's Challenge!! Only a couple of days left to get this posted too.  Last Friday Lauren's card inspired me to dig out several dies that haven't seen a lot of action.

The Sleigh and reindeer are Marianne Designs (Creatables) The snow is an unbranded die and the fir trees are from Impression Obsession, I layered the sleigh and reindeer to give dimension. Since this was a "Santa" challenge I added the Santa hat brad (eyelet outlet store) to make it  appear as if Santa is driving the sleigh.

 I also added an Eyelet Outlet tiny red rhinestone from a package of swirly bling to Rudolph's nose.

Finished the inside with scraps left over from the front of the card,  and a very appropriate sentiment.
