Two old bats...

Hello! Participating for the first time over at Two old Bats Halloween Challenge.

Last year I made Christmas cards all year and it was fun and I had plenty to send out when it rolled around. I'd like to do the same for all the holidays. This link up is perfect. 

My card:

I had fun making this card. I just bought distress resist spray so played around with it with oxide inks and shimmer spray. I added dies from The Stamps of Life. 

Double Trouble and....

I made a card tonight that I'm linking to two challenges. I don't often do that; I like to create a card per challenge, but this card for the Double Trouble Challenge blog fits the caffeinated Christmas card Challenge, too, with coffee and snowflakes, soooo....

Hi! I'm back with another link up to the Caffeinated Christmas card challenge blog #13

My card:

Snowman stamp is Sweet and sassy stamps. Trees and cardinals are sunny studio dies, and the rest on this card are The Stamps of Life.  

Jaded Blossom

Hello! The Jaded Blossom Stamps challenge this month is anything goes! 😊 Click HERE for more information.  

I created a Thank you card for my MIL who is going to love it as she loves gnomes, and we just gave her a Christmas Vacation moose cup at Christmas so this card will be funny to her, too. Stamps, dies, and stencil are all Jaded Blossom. 

Wood Block Wednesday

Hello! It's time for another Wood Block Wednesday. Such fun! What is Wood Block Wednesday? Check it out HERE!

My card is featuring a NEW wood stamp in my collection. I love it so much! I was a lucky winner last wbw, and won a generous gc to Rubbermoon stamps, a new to me company. I had so much fun shopping. They have so many choices, wood mount and cling. Check them out! I used a stamp called PUP CUP

I also used a clear stamp coffee set from A Jillian Vance Designs called But first, coffee .

My background was created with my current obsession, Lindy's magical powders from Lindy's Stamp Gang.

Non traditional

 Hello!! I received new goodies from Jaded Blossom Stamps today and I hadn't yet participated in their monthly challenge for December yet, so.... tonight was the perfect night to do it. Non Traditional Christmas Colors......

Snowgnome!? I couldn't resist. 

WBW

Hello! I'm here participating in Wood Block Wednesday 

Today I chose to use this boxer dog wood stamp I have from Stamp Gallery. I am a Boxer owner and love all things Boxer dog ❤️😊

Also, since I'm guest designing for A Colorful Life Designs this month, I used one of their stencils for this card: Marvelous masked deckled rectangle.

It's a set of different sizes and comes with the masking insides to create borders, layers, etc. It's pretty handy and awesome to have in your stash. Here I used one on my card front panel, and ink blended crushed olive and peeled paint oxide inks together. The deckled border isn't a harsh straight line... I love how it turned out. Originally I was just going to stamp black and white on top of it and that's it, but then I decided to color and cut the dog out...... 

Word die cuts are The Stamps of Life and the christmss lights die is from a Momenta set.

Ok! Last one, really! Lol. I felt like making a card and using this old snowman card die 😁

All dies are The Stamps of Life.

Warm wishes to all of you during this holiday season.

Hello! I'm back again with another card using A Colorful Life Designs Palm Tree Silhouette stencil.

For my card. This time I made a slimline card. I did a quick and easy ink blend with oxide inks. Stamps are Gina K Designs.

 *Guest Designer for December. 

A Colorful Life

Hello! Happy December 1st. I'm excited to be a guest designer for A Colorful Life Designs -all month long. 

I've had so much fun playing with their stencils. 

I thought I'd start the month off with a Christmas card. Tis the Season! If you're not currently working on or finished with your cards, you better get to it 😁 

I just love this palm tree stencil. It's big: 6x9! It can be used on many different sized cards. This is a 5x7.

I ink smooshed with oxide ink and water first, let dry, and then stenciled onto it with a darker green. It made the perfect background for this beach loving Santa (stamp set by Art Impressions).

You can get this stencil HERE.
