25 Days of Christmas Tags 2020...Day 16...Concord & 9th

Welcome to the 10th Annual 25 Days of Christmas Tags!

If you are new to the event you can click HERE to see the posts from the last 9 years. There are also links to the Pinterest boards for each of  the past years at the bottom of this post.  There is so much incredible inspiration there.  I am so excited to share that there are 26 sponsors this year, and each of the sponsors and their designers will be joining us as a guest for a day!  

   

Welcome to Day 16!

If you are just arriving for the first time all the details and the linkup can be found HERE!

I am happy to announce that today we have Concord & 9th as our sponsor.

My first tag features an adorable reindeer from the Furry Friends set.  I must admit to having this stamp set for quite a while, and I think this is the first time that this reindeer has seen ink.  It won't be the last, as I find him rather cute.

I decided to do something a little different with my second tag.  I am always seeing ideas for how to use Christmas stamps for other occasions....but how about using other stamps for Christmas?  I took the rainbow stamps from Brighter Days and gave it a traditional Christmas color scheme.  Fun, right?

Please head over to the main post on Tracey's blog for more information on how you can join in on the 

fun and have a chance to win one of our prizes.

Time Out #164...Reminder...Party Like There's No Manana

There is still time to play along with the current challenge at Time Out.  We challenge you to make a card inspired by the photo above.  Here is a bigger picture of the photo.

I was inspired by that adorable rainbow pinata cake topper.  Lucky for me, I just got some stamps and dies from Concord & 9th that were perfect for this challenge.  I die cut the pinata from my card front, and placed strips of cardstock stamped with a fringe stamp in colors that matched the photo.

Please head over to Time Out to see more inspiration from our Design Team and Guest Designer. Our Guest Designer this week is Sathya, so please stop by her blog to see what she has created for this challenge. Stamplorations is our sponsor for this challenge.  Details for the prize are on the Time Out Challenge Blog.

This challenge will run another week.  I hope you will take some Time Out of your busy schedule to play along with us.

Mid Week Craftiness

Have you ever made a card for a challenge, and then find that the challenge is over by the time you go to post it?  Well, that happened to me this week, so now I am hurrying to post my cards for which the challenges have not yet closed.

Up first is a trio of cards that will all be linked up at the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.  The first two will also be entered at Stay Crafty with Hero #8: Small Joys and A Blog Named Hero May: Hugs from a Distance.  I used stamps and dies from a My Monthly Hero kit from August 2018.

And a little bit of Boba Tea with some fun critters from Mama Elephant.  I am also entering this card at Perfectly CAS #9: Animals.

I'll be sending sunshine and rainbows to a friend with this next card, that I am entering at Addicted to CAS #185:  Rainbow.

And, last up is a one layer card for Less is More #420:  Going Dotty. I used PTI Initial Sentiments Birthday and a stencil from Artplorations.

My Crafty Round Up

Hello friends.  I've got quite a few cards to share today.  First up is a fun birthday card featuring a group of dogs from Picket Fence.  I am entering this card at Perfectly CAS #9: Animals.

I used the colors at Color Throwdown #594 and the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches #436 to make my next card.  I am also entering it into the Ink to Paper Project Reach Out: Dear to My Heart challenge.

I am entering this next card at Addicted to CAS #185: Rainbows.  I used Concord & 9th Brighter Days stamps.

I am playing along at the Coffee Lovers Hop...maybe for the first time, but who can remember anything these days?  I used Mama Elephant Boba Tea stamps for my card.

Tracey sent me some stamped images from Lawn Fawn's Swan Soiree, and I used them to create this baby card for Lawn Fawnatics #77: Oh Baby.

My next card uses a die and some small images from one of my My Monthly Hero kits.  I am entering this card at Stay Crafty with Hero #8: Small Joys, A Blog Named Hero May: Hugs From a Distance, and Addicted to Stamps and More #390 (I was inspired by all the watery images).

I pulled out Paper Smooches Baby Birds the other day, and kept them out for a while, where I made a few cards.  First up is this adorable flamingo that I am entering at Seize the Birthday #191: Totally Tropical, CAS(E) this Sketch #373, and AAA Birthday #13:  Things with Wings.

Two more baby birds are on the way to wish my friend a happy birthday, and I am entering this card at AAA Cards #166: Happy Birthday (it's their 6th birthday, and we want to squalk about it).

Last up for the baby birds is a trio of flat thank you notes.  I always like to have these handy, as they are my kids' favorite size for thank you notes.  I am entering these thank you's at the Paper Smooches Thank You Challenge

And, finally, a card using my newest MFT die, Say Hello that I am entering at the MFT Color Challenge #141.

That's it for me today!!
