Stars

 Happy New Years Eve Day!! It's my last blog post of 2024 and I'm still in Holiday mode, it is always nice to have Winter cards available. I didn't get many cards mailed as Canada Post was on strike so Winter cards it is. Shopping Our Stash is celebrating Stars, we want to see stars on your project.

Who can resist a super cute gnome? I stamped and coloured him and even though I have the dies I fussy cut him out. My stars are not huge but there are quite a few in this piece of 6 x 6 Christmas paper pad from Dollarama.

Second card I made with the gnome set and again I fussy cute her out and coloured in my favourite colour, there are stars in this patterned paper as well. The size of the paper pad works well for mini slimline cards.

Both cards have the same inside sentiment by Hero Arts (one of my first I bought) and a piece of patterned paper. 

Thanks for closing out the 2024 SOS season with me. Head over to the SOS blog and check out the inspiration cards the rest of the team has made.

Rudolph Days ~~~ July

 Hello my crafty friends it's time for the July edition of Rudolph Days. I haven't been crafting in over two weeks and it will be a bit longer. I had my knee fail me and I collapsed on the floor and broke my ankle it has been a bit of a trial as I did not want to stay so in order to come home I was fitted for an air boot and crutches and of course not to put a lot of weight on the broken ankle until the Dr. calls. I immediately knew I would not be able to take care of my Design Team duties, so they are shelved until I can put weight on my leg but on July 25th I realized I can't miss Rudolph days so knowing I had lots of off cuts, some coloured images etc. I could make one but it took me 2 days to glue it together. 

My day in a recliner that I am in bed when it's time to turn out the lights. 

And now my card.

The super cute penguin image is a digital stamp from Bugaboo Stamps it was already coloured and layered on the tag die. Ribbon was on my desk. Card base from my file folder I did have to cut the striped layer  and because the die cut sentiment I had from my stash wasn't suitable I did die cut the Happy Holidays (when turning the handle of the big shot I hit something and a magnet with cog dies one it and a few other things have hit the floor, one more thing my daughter is going to have to pick up for me)

Close up of the Bugaboo image sadly they are no longer in business. They were Canadian and sponsored many challenges.

I'm adding this to:

Rudolph Days ~~ July Challenge

Twinkle

 Hello and welcome to the July's Happy little Stampers Christmas Challenge, hard to believe it's here so soon. The July challenge is Anything Goes and the option is Twinkle. 

I am back to the cottage for the Canada Day weekend this is my second time bring craft items, I have the basics that stay all summer and the rest I tote back and forth and I'm not doing so well remembering o bring sentiments that match the theme of  the planed card. This time I packed glitter cardstock but  what I planned on using would not die cut so plan b which didn't work out but will be used. I did tuck a 6.5 inch X 3.25 inch piece of silver glitter cardstock which cut beautifully but it shed so much glitter I was covered and because it's humid it's still sticking to me. But since it was my last shot at getting my card done I had to run with it. 

I made a mini slimline card 6.25 X 3.25, I cut the ornaments and flat attached them to the red layer which was then on the off cut from the ornaments, I covered as much as I could to minimalize shedding.  The sentiment will be added when I get home

Close up of the ornaments so you can see they are silver not gold, perhaps it is because I used a red background. 

By the end of the summer I might be organize, I can only hope.

Thank for stopping by and you have the month of July to get a few holiday cards done and add them to the Happy Little Stampers Christmas Challenge for July, remember it's always anything goes but you have the option of making it TWINKLE. 

Happy Holidays from A Tiny Craft ATC Challenge.

 For the fifth challenge at  A Tiny Craft ATC Challenge the theme is Happy Holidays

 and of course in the hustle and bustle of getting cards, and presents and decorating I decided to make something with many, many, many pieces and here is the results.

It's a grouping of 4 as I have plans for 3 of them, I am putting them in a sports card holder to give to the great grands.  I will continue to make monthly cards to add to the holder.

A single atc, I did put acetate in for the window and the tail lights are Starform stickers, 

For an added element I added holly leaves and berries.

Santa's license plate...HoHoHo
