Challenge for Monday, October 23, 2020

 The challenge this week is to make at least one card from the items you have been sent... here are the cards I made!

Sorry they are a bit askew... what my mind is like these days...

Supplies used:

B&T paper - Comfort & Joy

cardstock - black, white daisy

ink - Memento Tuxedo black

stamps - C1864 Comfort & Joy - Cardmaking

The first card uses a die set from My Favorite Things... Blueprints 18, which I don't think is available anymore.  I also used the dull green Triblend marker to outline the holly leaves, and used the Berry Christmas Dots to represent the holly berries.  Be creative!

The second card uses theStitched simple brackets thin cuts Z3687.  I outlined everything using a variety of Triblend markers.  If you have some holly leaves or pine sprigs you could further decorate the front.  This is a special fold card... and on the inside place the white cs to the left of the poinsietta paper so there is a place to write.

Of course, switch these up, or make something totally different from the pieces you have been given!

Happy stamping!

Challenge for Monday, October 12, 2020

 Hi all!

Lots of people are out of town, or going out of town, but here is the challenge anyway!  You really have until the end of the month to complete it!  The pieces went out in Wednesday's mail, so should arrive soon.

You will receive some stamped animals and greetings from D1970 Oh, Hay There.  There is also a mini envelope cut from Z3767. 

You will receive everything but the base card to complete this card, or use some of the pieces to design your own!

Here is my card...

Full disclosure... I intended to frame the card with sangria cardstock, but at the last minute I realized I didn't have enough.  So... I have framed mine in olive cardstock, and that is what I sent you.  If you have sangria paper, you might consider it!

There is a little card inside the envelope that says "xo special delivery".

I also stamped for you an elephant and a bird... you didn't hear me say this, but if you want more envelopes just trace around them and cut on the inside line.  I was going to send more, but could not decide on paper, so there you go.  

The hands for the monkey are stamped separately so you can cut them out and put them over the envelope.  With the elephant there is the end of his truck, and with the bird, it's beak.

Happy stamping!!

Challenge for Monday, October 5, 2020

 Happy fall y'all!!  Even though it doesn't feel like it yet!

The challenge for Monday, October 5, is to make a card using the card sketch that I sent you in a recent email message.

Here is the card I made! 

Full disclosure... these are all pieces that were hanging around my desk... the sloth I colored on a camping trip some time ago!  Feels good to use some stuff up!

Happy stamping!!
