STAMPlorations Inspiration #245

It's time for the STAMPlorations Inspirations #245.  I think this will be my last Christmas card for this year.  I think [hope] I have enough extras made for the last minute need.  We shall see.

I used the Christmas Baubles #2 Layering Dies for today's card.  I like the monochrome use of colors together for the layering.  I also used the Christmas Sentiments Dies for over the top of the ornaments.  I do like the color against the white card base too.

Okay, I think you know the drill.  Leave a  comment for the monthly $10 gift certificate [1 random drawn winner], and then pop on over to the STAMPlorations Blog to see what my teamies have made. 

Don't forget, if you use my code STAMPGIRLVICKID, you can save 20% off your order!

Happy Little Stampers December ATC Challenge - Bling

And, on to my 2nd [missed] DT project for the Happy Little Stampers ATC Challenge.  This month I went for a coin, and then turned it into a tag.  This is the perfect size to fit inside of a Christmas card.  A little "gift" for the recipient.

I used a water colored panel from my stash, added some bling, along with 2 word dies from CAS-ual Fridays, Mistletoe Fri-Dies.

Your turn!  Come on over the Happy Little Stampers ATC Challenge and play along!  They really do make nice Christmas card stuffers.

Well, apparently, time got a way from me!  I am totally late in 2 of my DT challenges!  [My bad].  I'll get this one going, and be back with the other one soon.  Ending 2019 with a bang - not!

I used the CUTplorations Christmas Tree #1, along with the CUTplorations Merry Christmas Phrase Die.

STAMPlorations Inspiration #244

This month is going to be pretty quiet from me.  Most of my Teams are taking off December.  That said, the STAMPlorations Inspirations will still be going strong this month.

I am also at the tale end of needing more Christmas cards.  However, I still wanted to make one more for today's inspiration. I started out sponging on a rainbow type color with the Weaving Stencil.  Once done, I cut out the Merry Christmas and added in the pair of mittens from Warm Hands, Warm Hearts. 

Be sure and leave a comment for the monthly gift certificate give away.  Meanwhile, you can pop on over to the STAMPlorations Blog to see my teamies creations.

CAS-ual Fridays Day for Small Business Day

Did you know that it is Small Business Day today?  Yep - it's all about supporting those small businesses out there.  Since CAS-ual Fridays is a small business I wanted to share a card I made using a few of the products.

At first, I just made the tag, then I realized I could put it on a card [removable of course], mail it, and someone gets a little gift :).  Works for me.  I used the Snow Angel stamp set [just released yesterday for Black Friday].  She is rather sweet don't you think? I also used Scallop Tag Fri-Die for my tag base.

Michele also created this fun set [released yesterday also]; Stay Strong.

And lastly, [in support] - all Last Chance Sets are on sale at 50% off!  And yes, my coupon code works also for an additional 15% off!  Win-win there.

Have you shopped small businesses in support?  Good for us! :)

STAMPlorations Inspirations #243

It's time for the STAMPlorations Inspiration today on my blog.

I am really drawn to red buffalo plaid.  Since I don't have any, I went ahead and tried to make my own with water colors.   Whatcha think?  For a first attempt, it's okay. ;)

I used the M&B Phrase Die with some glitter paper for prettiness.

Playing with a CAS Card Exchange Group

I made this card today and realized that it would qualify for the FB November CAS Card Exchange.  I really have been meaning to join in this fun group. You get an address to send your card to, and in return, you get one from a fellow stamper.  That's always fun.

I just hope whoever gets my card thinks that it is good enough. :)

I had fun.  Have you ever joined in this exchange?
