Jingle Belles Rock Silver, Gold and Copper.

What a great prompt for a challenge, I don't use heavy metals often so it was a great way to get me out of my comfort zone.  For this card I used gold and white.

The background was embossed with a large Cuttlebug snowflake folder, the snowflakes are from Elizabeth Craft Designs, the dots are leftovers from the centers of the smaller snowflake die. I also added the Merry I believe it is a set die and stamps from Hero Arts.

Since this card is a commissioned card I haven't personalized the inside, but it will be computer generated.

thanks for looking today and have a fantastic weekend.

Shopping Our Stash has a New Challenge ~~ Snow much Fun!!!

Challenge #331 at Shopping Our Stash is Snow Much Fun!!! We want to see anything snow related on your project but don't forget the part about using your stash.

I decided to make a "snow" scene out side a window,  I'm glad the scene is cute but that wallpaper is so 50's. The stamp I used is a long retired Stampin'up set and I love it for my window cards. 

Close up of the scene, I did put acetate for the window and popped the window up but decided not to make it a shaker.

Finished the inside and will add the extra tree I cut and seems to have disappeared, it's probably not too far from my table.

Thanks for looking today and head over to the Main Blog and check out what the rest of the design team have made.

25 Days of Christmas Tags 2017 ~~ day 26 ~~ Bonus day!!

Surprise it's a bonus tag, High Hopes Stamps is sponsoring the bonus tag day at the 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2017.  I am so happy I managed to get caught up and this is my last tag for the challenge hop.  As most of my readers know I love purple and I just had to use Kristine's purple tag as inspiration. Here is what I made.

I didn't have the adorable penguin from High Hopes Stamps so I used the cute one from Bugaboo Stamps, as you see I do love all shades of purple.

I fussy cut the penguin out and popped him up. I cut a few hills and a tree.

Here is Kristine's tag

  

This was the sentiment I thought I could use but it was too large for the tag. It is from High Hopes Stamps and I've had it for quite a few years.  It's just so Canadian.

Thanks again for spending time looking at all the super tags I made and I hope you made some too.

House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge #255

Here I am again with my second post as a Guest Design team member ( I am still over the moon) at House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge #255  is as always Anything Goes or an optional theme ~~ December Birthday.  Oddly enough I have two December birthdays to make cards for so for me it's a two-fer. 

I have no idea what the fold is called but I really wanted to try it, the card when folded fits in a 5 X 5 envelope. For Christmas I love plaids and burgundy so I chose them for the birthday card  I used my Elizabeth craft design stitched circle and spellbinder's scalloped circle, the ovals are spellbinders classic dies and the sentiment is from a retired set of Stampin'up.

Close up of the image. 

I guess you would call it either the inside or back of the card 

Thanks for looking today and don't forget to check out the HMFMC Blog and see how the design team have interpreted the challenge. Remember December Birthday is only an option you can enter Anything Goes.

25 Days of Christmas Tags 2017 ~~ Day 25

It's not the last day for the 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2017 there is a bonus day with a new sponsor.  For this day I chose Tracey's tag, just because it was cute and I had a digi that worked perfect.

Look at me sponging and splashing water on my background, the image is from Dr. Digi and the sentiment was computer generated.

Here is Tracey's Tag

Tracey's is a super tag don't you think?

25 Days of Christmas Tags 2017 ~~ Day 24

25 Days of Christmas Tags 2017 day 24 has fabulous inspirational tags it was hard to choose, since I have been following the challenge I have dug out and used many items that have been neglected, this time it was a Hero Arts stamp and die set that I really had to have because it would make quick cards but I stamped the deer and trees once but never made anything with them but the large tree die was perfect for my tag.

It's a gift card holder, once you get the base cut it's quick and easy to make a few. This design is only one of the two that Holly made...still want to make the other one too. I only have one size sequins so just use a few, the star was some scrap glitter paper and a Fiskers star punch that wow was sitting right on my crafting table. bonus.

Here is Holly's tags.

I even had peace love and joy tiny stamps also never been used.

25 Days of Christmas Tags 2017 ~~ Day 24

Thanks for looking again today, there will be one more soon.

25 Days of Christmas Tags 2017 ~~ Day 23

Again a marathon of crafting and now I have done all 25 there is a bonus day!!! more about that when I get to Day 26.  For today's tag I chose Amy Kolling's tags although I only got one of them done they were both great.

I had a scrap of red glitter cardstock in my scrap box so using spellbinders classic circles I cut the base, the JOY is cut from a sizzix long skinny die I bought eons ago and had to unwrap it to use it. It cuts Peace, Love, Joy & Hope, I even have the base and plates to go with it.  Must mean I have too much "stuff"

Here is Amy's tags

Both are just gorgeous.
