TTC2

This is my card for Nancy and Cindy's Try This Challenge #2. This week's challenge was to use punches in a creative way.

I used 2 Stampin Up punches, Snow blossom for the star of my tree which I made from the Paper Piecing (retired) punch.

The ornament stamps are from Stampendous and free hand cut. Cardstock is Wild Wasabi and Whisper White from SU, and Bazzill brown of some sort.

Patterned Paper is Basic Grey- Blitzen (I think, off the top of my head).
Direct to paper ink- Van Dyke Brown ink pad. Used stickles for the star to sparkle atop my tree.

figgy pudding

I am in love with three things on this card:

1. The new Figgy Pudding paper by Basic Grey- Double sided and delightful with each sheet.

2. My newest stamps from Stampin Up - True Friend- layered it, although you can't tell from the picture. It has Chocolate Chip, Creamy Caramel and Ruby Red layers with a big brad holding them together.

3. My new SU punch- ticket corner. I have been seeing it on cards everywhere lately and am just delighted that it came home to live with me.

Supplies- SU Cardstock- Whisper White, Chocolate Chip, Ruby Red. SU Ink- Chocolate Chip, Creamy Caramel, Ruby Red. SU punch- Ticket corner. Punch- corner Rounder EK Success, Ribbon- Walmart, Patterned Paper- Basic Grey (my favourite patterned paper company ever), Stamps- True Friend and Short and Sweet- SU, Brackets- Fontwerks, Swirled dots- Inque Boutique, Brads- unknown.

little christmas cards

Made these little Christmas cards quite a while ago one stamp night with Cindy. I hadn't really been into the Christmas mood enough to post them till now. Now I am in the Christmas mood!! I bought my first tree (artificial) and will be setting it up this year for me to enjoy!! I also had an egg-nog latte this weekend. whoo hoo!! :0) The Starbucks is all decked out in full Christmas gear, which always makes me happy. So happpppy!! Happy enough to post Christmas cards. Was thinking of using these for gift tags or on gift bags. They were super easy using scraps!

Also got an amazing jump start on my other Christmas cards, I just need to assemble them. It will be the earliest ever that I have had all my cards done for mailing out!! Yeah!!
