Challenges

 Happy New Year! I can't believe it's already the end of January already. There's still a couple more days left to participate in Double Trouble Challenge blog 157


My card meets the requirements for Thing 1 and 3 with the optional extras of a winter sport (sledding) and add a hat (bears wearing hats). 

I used a stencil from Craft Treat called Winter Village for my background. It stencils the village line and has snow which faded out a little. I added flicks of white for more snow. 😁

The cute, playful bear stamps are from Penny Black called Snow Cute. Wishing you happy holidays is Miss Ink Stamps Season's greetings sentiment stamp set. 


I am linking up for Thing 2, but I'm not sure if it's "countryish" enough; Thing 2 is to link up for their collaboration with Farm Quest Challenge Blog #44

AND because I inked up and used my super cute new Penny Black stamp set that I won as blog candy from the last Coffee Loving cardmakers blog hop. I'm linking it up to the Penny Black Saturday Challenge

JB January.....

 The January challenge over at Jaded Blossom Stamps is anything goes!


It's been a long while since I joined in. I miss JB. 

I pulled out a stamp set I haven't used much, and created a simple card with coordinating envelope:


Front and inside/back. I used JB internal scallop rectangle die. The stamp set is called paper hoarder.

The paper is something I've been hoarding 😉 in my stash. Idk who makes it.

CCCC25

Hello! I'm back to link up another card for the Caffeinated Christmas card challenge number 25: coffee+snowflakes. 


My card:

I created my bkg with Lindy's magical powders. 

I used a momenta snowflake A2 cover plate die for the snowflakes on a white glitter paper. 

The coffee drinking girl is a stamp from photoplay stamps, I Love Fall. 

Words are also cut out of white glitter paper, dies from TSOL.

Wow! HAPPY NEW YEAR! 

I mailed out 73 Christmas cards for 2023, and a good portion of those were caffeinated. Lol. 

I'm here to link up a card for the Caffeinated Christmas card challenge 25 

My card:

I won some fun blog candy from the fall/winter hop from Caffeinated crafty friend, Kimberly W., which included this bkg paper, snowflake tag, twine, and fun puffy stickers.  

I die cut the bkg paper with Kat scrappiness distressed edged die. The Season's Greetings is a die from The Stamps of Life.
