Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

This week, the Jingle Belles have challenged us to make a card using inchies.  I love paper pad covers almost as much as I love the paper inside.  There are often miniature images of the patterned paper, perfect for inchies or banners.  These are 4.25" x 5.5" cards. 

I embossed the 3.5" x 5" card, but the sentiment was hard to read.  Looks pretty good in the picture, though!

Just a few more days to join us at Words 2 Craft By for our Blizzard of Kisses challenge!!

Hip to Be Square

The Cards in Envy challenge is Hip to Be Square.  Sadly, I needed another sympathy card.

Magenta Style stickers.  I used both the positive and the negative parts of the stickers, and layered them on gold and black.  There are still a few days left to join the Words 2 Craft By Just Keep Swimming challenge!

Dogs!!!

This week's challenge over at the Mod Squad Challenge Blog is Teacher's Pet - use a pet or an animal. 

The paw print paper is dry embossed with paw prints.  Inka Dinka Do images, die cuts from Spellbinders, stash ribbon. Come play along with us at Words 2 Craft By - Just Keep Swimming!

OWH VCMP Inchie Challenge

Operation Write Home is hosting a Virtual Card Making Party this weekend, with nwe challenges every few hours. 

First hostess, Nancy at Scrap Happens!

Her challenge, make an inchie card using the sketch she provided. 

I was going for this:

 Instead, I stamped my sentiment poorly, then tried to erase the goober. Didn't work out so well.  Hey, there are no mistakes, only opportunities for embellishment, right?!?!?  So I improvised:

DCWV Christmas Combo papers, SU Sincere Salutations sentiment (my all time favorite set).  Sizzix Holly and Berries #2 texture plate.  Spellbinder die, stash ribbon.
