Get Ready For Winter

Are you ready for some fun??
At Double D our theme is  
Get Ready for WINTER
and we have a fun mood board for inspiration!

I focused on the upper left corner, the steamy hot drink on a cold winters day!
I pulled out my much loved Pretty Pink Posh Winter Mug die
and a 3D embossing folder from Sizzix and set to work.
I filled my mug with a pine tree marshmallow, a glittery snowflake and
a couple of roasted marshmallows.
Of course I had to keep my cup warm
so I wrapped it with a die cut scarf from the PPP 
Fall Mug Additions die.

Come on over to Double D and have some 'winter' fun with us
and check out all the winter beauty from the teams!!

Peace On Earth #76

Only a few more challenges left at Peace On Earth for this year,
so hopefully you can join in with us too.
As always, we have a fun inspiration board
but you can create anything as long as it is Christmas themed! 

Look at all those fun birds in the inspiration board,
how can you resist them, I know I couldn't!

I used an old set from Sparkle N Sprinkle I received while I was on
their design team Winter Bird House and added  some snowy Stickles
along with a few snowflakes,  I once again used The Ton
Easy Expressions Holiday stamp and dies for the sentiment.

Come on over to Peace On Earth and have some fun with us!!

Two Old Bats Reminder November 2024

Hello friends, we are halfway through our Halloween challenge at
Two Old Bats and hope you will come and join us for our year round challenge! 
We have a fun mood board for plenty of inspiration if needed!!

Myself, I always try to challenge me to using the inspirational mood board.
If you saw my original post for this challenge you might remember I used the
same Spellbinders leaf die to make the upper left pumpkin leaves,
but this time changing to the bottom right photo.  I inked these silly ghosts with
Memento London Fog ink, some google-y eyes, had drew the mouths and a layered
BOO die cut sentiment from Tonic Studios.
The background paper came out of my Halloween scrap paper bag!!

We would LOVE to have YOU join us at our year round
Two Old Bats challenge!!

Beautiful Blossoms November Challenge

 Hello friends it's once again time for a new challenge at
Beautiful Blossoms and we have an optional mood board
but you can create anything, any color as long as 'blooms'
are your focal point!

I know it doesn't probably look  like it, but I did try to stick as close to the colors 
as I could, I know mine are a little brighter and maybe a bit more summery,
but these were the color inks I had to work with.  I think had I  gone with a
different background paper the colors would of fallen in to place better!
I used The Ton Posy Bouquet stencil and a various supply of inks from
Dew Drop, Altenew and even Simon Says Stamp.
The 'frame' under the stenciled flowers is from Cottage Cutz
and the sentiment from The Ton.  I added a bit of 'bling' using
Pretty Pink Posh Party Mix Gems.
I love this stencil as it is so petite and I surely wish
other companies would do the same instead of all those
6x6 stencils, just my opinion!

Come and join in some floral fun with us at
Beautiful Blossoms, we would love to see your creations!!

Landscapes

At The Sisterhood of Crafters our theme is LANDSCAPES.
I had this 'landscape already done and just needed to put it
together for a card.  I think it will make a great masculine card! 

Several years back my BFF and challenge 'partner in crime'
came for a visit and brought her Stampscape Stamps with her
and we had lots of fun getting inky and making  scenes
This is one of my scenes, I have yet to purchase any of these stamps
and think I need to treat myself to a BIG shopping spree of these stamps!
I really like the mill stamp as my hone sits on an old mill run and our front
walk, right at the front door has the old mill stone as part of the walkway,
pretty cool!

We would love to see YOUR landscapes at
The Sisterhood of Crafters!

Coffee/Cocoa Warm Drinks

 Hello friends, it's time for a new challenge at 
Can You Handle The Pressure
where we are all about embossing folders!
Our OPTIONAL theme is Coffee/Cocoa Warm Drinks!
You can create anything goes though as long as you have used an
embossing folder, that is a must requirement!

For my card I pulled an OLD and never been used before 
Tim Holtz Alterations coffee embossing folder.
I embossed it on a kraft paper then die cut and put together
one very picky Cafe Colorize coffee cup!

I die cut it all from scraps of paper and when I went to put it
together several parts had disappeared, has that ever happened to you??
I did have a ceiling fan running at the time so maybe that was my culprit!!

Anyhow I decided to turn it into a thank you card
thinking I could always add a Starbucks gift card to it for a thank you!!

Make sure to visit Can You Handle The Pressure and have some
embossing fun with us!

Word Power #11

We are into the 11th month at Word Power 
which seems so hard to believe, time sure does 'fly' as they say!
Our challenge is all about letting your sentiments 
take 'center stage' not just a one word tiny sentiment.
I pulled out my fun (and yummy) Concord & 9th
Sweet As Pie die set and created a fun pumpkin pie card,
after all it is the season for it, right?
All you see is part of the die set, they thought of everything,
even the pie server!!
I die cut my sentiment words three times and
stacked one on top of the other so it would really 'pop'!
All the papers used are scraps with the exception of
the plaid which is a P13 Hello Autumn paper.
I think this card will go to a granddaughter
that loves her grandma's cards and saves each and every one,
 she is 18 now, she has quite a collection of them!!

We would love to have you join us at Word Power,
what are you waiting for??
