Challenge #329 at Shopping Our Stash is ~~ Transportation!!!

At Shopping Our Stash we want to see what you would travel in....lots of ideas...trucks, cars, boats, planes, balloon well you get the idea. I decided to go with something older than me ....a bi-plane. I needed a masculine get well card, if you think a birthday card is hard try making a get well card.

I used Scrap and Stamp with Frenchie's tutorial for the fold, very interesting and very easy to do. the background paper is old and it's the first time I've used the bi-plane image and I've had it for eons. i used a circle of velum for the propeller and  a brad from my stash. 

The card when it's open. (the recipient loved it)

Stash items are:

Patterned paper ~~ Stampin'up (3 or 4 years old)

Stamp set ~~ Stampin'up  1/12 to 2 years old

scrap of velum who knows how old lol.

Thanks for joining me today and please stop by the SOS Blog and check out the different types of Transportation the rest of the Design Team have made.

25 Days of Christmas Tags ~~ Day 12

Finally caught up with the 25 Days of Christmas Tags (for now) It was so hard to pick a tag for inspiration today because they are all fantastic!!! I chose Lindsey's tag again mostly because I had an super cute House Mouse skiing mouse already coloured and fussy cut, score!!! half my work is done!

Again I use some already smooshed cardstock, I'm using up scraps and that's a good thing. Now I don't have a circle tag die so I first cut the hanger part then cut the circle, the sentiment is a peel and stick from that package from the $$ store. 

Here is Lindsey's tag day 11

As you see I didn't have red baker's twine or bells but the rest is pretty close, I just love that super cute bunny with the looooooong scarf. Thanks Lindsey for all the inspiration.

25 Days of Christmas Tags ~~ Day 11

Day 11 at the 25 Days of Christmas tags I picked Lindsey's tag, we seem to have a lot of similar stamps and I love her designs. (all but the colourburst backgrounds)  so for this one I used a piece of already smooshed blue cardstock. Using a spellbinder die I cut the tag. The Merry Christmas is made with the Avery label maker I bought at a yardsale this past summer.  Again the super cute polar bear is one of those mini clear stamps I bought for around a $1, I fussy cut him and the presents are part of another stamp that I fussy cut (what a chore)

Here is Lindsey's tag

Isn't her polar bear just the cutest?

thanks for dropping by today!! 

I'm a Guest Design Team member at House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge!!!

I was very excited and honoured to be invited to be a Guest Designer at one of my favourite challenge blogs. I have been a House Mouse lover for many years and have an over-abundance of stamps. My first House Mouse stamp was bought at a yard sale when I didn't even know what stamping was all about but I was hooked with stamping and house mouse design stamps.  Now what is the challenge?

Challenge #254 at House Mouse and Friends Monday challenge is as always Anything Goes with an option of "Frosty" which means lots of glitter and bling!! So without any more chit chat here mine is.

My card is featuring Booda and is a "Gruffie" called Beary Fast Sled.  So for my "snowy" bits I used heat and stick powder and Diamond sugar dust (craft decor) on the snow, Star dust stickles on his hat and silver glitter paper for the frame. The  background was made with Broken china distress oxide ink, I need more practice with the splashing of water on it.

Close up and I hope you can see the glitter on his toque. 

I fussy cut the image and popped everything up. 

Finished the inside with the off-cut from the background and an ancient sentiment from Stampabilities.

There you have my first guest design team card!! so I hope you will join us at House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge for Anything goes with the option of "Frosty"

25 Days of Christmas Tags ~~ Day10

Day 10 at the 25 Days of Christmas Tags I chose Tracy's super cute snowman tag and I even did some masking and sponging with distress oxide broken china ink. I also found a couple of my little bells. The image is a Snag'em stamp over 10 maybe even 15 years old. I have a bunch of 99 cent little sets some from Michaels but this one was from Mary Maxim in the U.S. on one of my shopping trips.

The sentiment is a peel and stick sentiment package I bought at Dollar Tree

Here is Tracy's Tag day 10

As you see I even managed to make a mini tag too.

I've been having fun making these super cute tags the only thing is it is so hard to pick a tag to use as inspiration they are all so fabulous, I might even go back and do a few extra as I have not made many tags. Thanks for visiting and stay tuned day 11 will be here soon.

25 Days of Christmas Tags ~~ Day 9

For Day 9 I chose Kathy Schweinfurth's tag,  It was so cute and I thought I had everything under control but since I was trying to get caught up I forgot to look closely at the tag and I missed the white script on the red and the holly at the bottom, funny I had picked some patterned paper out too.

The image I used is from Bugaboo Stamps, the holly is an unbranded die I bought. The sentiment I am not sure who's it is. 

Here is Kathy's Tag day 9

I'm pleased how my tag turned out only three more and I'm caught up and I hope I find time to keep making them on the same day.

25 Days of Christmas Tags 2017 ~~ Day 8

Be prepared or warned!!! I got caught up on my 25 Days of Christmas Tags ~~ Wow. Day 8 tag I picked Lindsey's tag with the cute kitty in the stocking, I tried to make a green colour burst background but after two "fails" I chose some already smooshed cardstock.

Of course I didn't have a kitty in a stocking but I had a house mouse in a stocking, 

Here is Lindsey's tag ~~ its the one on the right.

That's all for Day 8 Thanks for checking.
