12/23/2024 - Atlantic Hearts Sketch #609 - Peace & Happiness

Happy Monday and weclome back to another challenge at Atlantic Hearts Sketch and I made a Christmas theme card for this week’s challenge. Blocked background is always hard for me and I tried to cut out the DSP porpotionally but as you can see, the bottom row is a little off, but you can barely see. I think when you put a DSP on top of another layers it always pop so there is a white piece between the cardstock and the DSP. I also like how the trees are created with 2 different colors of cardstock. I hope this card give you some inspiration and you can find some time to create during this busy holiday season.

12/10/24 - Cardz 4 Guyz #362 Christmas Tag/Cards/3D - Holiday Card

As we slowly get into the end of the year, I have so much to reflect on and just so grateful for the opportunity to be on so many wonderful design team for making cards. I am Stampin’ Up demonstrators but mostly just doing it as a hobby and of course if I can make some $$ to cover my hobby, great, if not, no biggies, you know. So today I am sharing a card that just kind of brought me peace by looking at it. I did a small technique where I sponged inks around the focal image. The coloring is done by using Stampin’ Blends and I think I will send this off to my SS. Thanks for stopping by and remember to join us at the challenge at Cardz 4 Guyz.

12/4/24 - The Male Room #193 Everything Goes - Reindeer Fun Christmas Card

Last monthly challenge here at The Male Room and it’s free for all – everything goes! I created this post back in October when I bought the Reindeer Fun Dies since I knew I was going to be out of town for 2 weeks and needed to have my blog post ready! As you can see, this card used ALL dies and no stamping images. I only bought the dies for this purpose! I created a background using Christmas theme related prints and die cut out the reindeer image along with a cute bell. I really like this die and I can see myself creating more with it. Hope you enjoyed this card I am sharing today and be sure to join us at the challenge. Have a great month and end of the year celebration!

We are sharing anything but a card today at My Time to Craft and I created this really cute lip balm holder for Christmas that you can give to teachers/friends/kids as a stocking stuffer. I used the Iconic Celebration DSP and paired it with Cherry Cobbler cardstock to create this holder. I also used the retired tag punch on the top so I can loop a ribbon over.
