Christmas Corgi

Mornin' y'all!  Despite not feeling too great yesterday, I did spend a couple of hours in my craft room and it was awesome.  I haven't gotten to stamp hardly at all this month and I really do miss it!  Seems like forever since I'd gone looking through all my current DSP too so it was like getting to see everything for the first time.  In fact, I ended up using four patterns from one pack of DSP for today's card, and just one stamp.


AHHHHHHH that corgi is the CUTEST thing EVER, is he not?!  He's cut out of one of the Sweet Stockings patterns (the back side of the green stripes).  And he's a triple challenge corgi, too!

First up is the Paper Players sketch:


I used the tag shape from the coordinating Stockings dies for my "any shape" shape in the middle of the sketch.  The tag die is actually taller than what I used on my card; I cut the whole die shape and then moved the die up so I could cut the tag a bit shorter (after all, corgis are not tall doggos).

Next up is the Festive Friday challenge:


My cute little corgi is wearing a jumper, and I used red and green.  I wasn't sure if the Pool Party pattern on the left counted as plaid, and I have a die cut of a ribbon on the top of my tag element but not actual ribbon, so maybe I get half credit for those two?

This challenge happened to dovetail nicely with the As You See It challenge:

I can't wait to get dogs again.  Life just isn't the same without my fur babies.

Also, congratulations to Heather on making the AYSI design team!  Heather is my teammate on the SUO Challenges design team and she always makes such beautiful cards :)

Ahh, it feels good to get back in my craft room a bit.  Hopefully I'll be able to do some more work in there on my next day off this week!

Sleeping Fox

Mornin' y'all!  As I planned, I spent a good chunk of the day yesterday working in my craft room :)  I finished a scrapbook layout that required a lot of fussy cutting, and apparently that wasn't enough for me because I fussy cut an image for today's card too.


I placed a Stampin' Up! order yesterday for the end of Sale-a-Bration and I got yet more of the Penguin Playmates DSP, I love it so :)  I cut the fox out of the DSP, and the Just Jade pattern is the other side of the paper I cut the fox from; the trees were a scrap from a previous project.  The ribbon is from an old My Paper Pumpkin kit.  I finally admitted to myself that I just wasn't ever going to actually *make* the MPP projects, so I did all the stamping on all the kits I had and sent the rest of the supplies to a friend so she could make them with her daughters.  I kept all the stamps ;) and a few of the embellishments though.

Anyway, for today's card, I used the sketch from Just Add Ink:

And I loved the inspiration challenge from Hand Stamped Sentiments:


I bet you can guess what inspired me :)  I would love a stamp set of foxes being all adorable like on the Penguin Playmates DSP, how about you? 

Hope you're having a good week, y'all.  I'm still feeling under the weather...hubs heard me coughing last night and had me do a Covid test, but I'm plague-free.  Just a normal cold I suppose.  Stay healthy, folks!
