A Few Challenges

Hey Peeps!!!

Just popping in with some cards I created for some challenges. I have been busy using paper, stamps, dies and stencils that I have had in my stash for a long time. 

For my first card, I used this weeks sketch from Freshly Made Sketches for TWO Christmas cards. 

The first one I created used the sketch as it was. I used some papers from an old paper pad and a snowman from Mama Elephants Little Agenda Snowmen.

The die cut sentiment is from My Favorite Things. The stamped sentiment is from Hello Bluebird. 

The stencils I used is from Echo Park.

My second card was inspired by the same sketch but I moved the white tag down more to the bottom.

The gnome is from Mama Elephant, the speech bubble from Hello Bluebird, and the die cut "merry" is from Sunny Studios.

The snowflakes are from a bunch of snowflake dies that I have die cut in large amounts. 

My next card I used the sketch from TGIF Challenges. I used sketch #481 as my inspiration.

The elf is from My Favorite Things and the sentiment and snowflake element are from 49 and Market.

The pattern paper is one from my stash. Below is the sketch I used for my card.

My last card I created using a sketch from Try Stampin On Tuesday. However, I was too late to enter. I am also entering it into the Jingle Bells Challenge-Embossing Challenge.

I used a combination of products on this card. A My Favorite Things sentiment and bear, a Hello Bluebird Tree, and a bunch of snowflakes from different companies.

The embossing folder is from Honey Bee Stamps-one of my favorite in my stash.

This was so fun to make. That is all from me today. I hope you all have a great day!!

There is Still Time to Play with Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #597-Anything Goes!

 Hello Friends!

Today I am popping in with a card to remind you that there is still time to play with this round of the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge!!! Challenge #597 is the THEME-ANYTHING GOES!!

I had so much fun combining the Baby Mug Additions and the Storybook 1 Dies from Pretty Pink Posh and the Simon Says Stamp Sweet Elephants Dies.

All of these adorable pieces were die cut from SCRAPS!!! I have a TON of them (as well as pattern paper, which I am also trying to utilize) and I thought yellow and green could be used for a boy or a girl.

I have been having a blast using dies to create cards. Do you like to use dies?

For my background, I used paper from the Ink Drops-Ocean by the Craft Consortium.
