Happy Howl-idays

Hello and happy Wednesday.  I am popping in quickly to share a card I made for a few holiday challenges.  I used stamps from 2 different Newton's Nook stamp sets...Holding Happiness and Canine Christmas, and with a little masking and coloring, created this festive holiday card.   I borrowed a pair of elf shoes from another stamp set, to turn my present-holding gal into an elf.

I am entering this card at Inky Paws #137, Fusion: Merry Joy Cheer (Christmas theme and RED), Inkspirational #227 (Red ornaments, Christmas theme, Cute furry pet), Retro Rubber #149: Merry Christmas (Christmas theme and red--my Canine Christmas stamps are 3 years old), SOSS #174: E is for Elves, WWC300: Anything Goes Feminine, and ABC Christmas Challenge Y & Z (Y is for your favourite things...a puppy!)

25 Days of Christmas Tags 2020...Day 4...Newton's Nook

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 4!

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

I am happy to share that we have Newton's Nook as our sponsor. 

I made both of these tags using different puppy stamps from newton's Nook Canine Christmas.  I created a background for both tags using one of the smaller stamps in the set.

Copic coloring and fussy cutting--two very simple tags.

I am also entering this tag at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge, where the challenge is to make a tag and play along with our challenge, and Retro Rubber #147: Anything Goes (my stamps are 3 years old).

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.

Sunday Crafty Round Up

Hello and happy Sunday.  I was crafty all week, and have many cards to share, so I will jump right in.  First up are a few cards I made when I pulled out Concord & 9th Cool Treats.  I pulled these stamps and dies out after I saw the inspiration photo at Inspired by....cool treats, and I will be linking all of my popsicle cards up at this challenge.

First up is my favorite of the bunch ( I think).  I followed the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch #378 and am also linking up at Inkspirational #216: Sketch.

My next Cool Treats card is inspired by the challenge at AAA Cards #168.  In case it is not obvious, the little die cuts are snow cones.

I was inspired by the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches #441 and am also entering this card at Inkspirational #216: Sketch.

This one is just for fun, using one of my favorite color combinations, and I will enter it at Simon Says Wednesday Challenge Anything Goes.

My next card hits all the current MFT challenges...Wednesday Sketch #495, MFT Color Challenge #144, and The Birthday Project: Party Scene.  I used these adorable baking mice from Sweet Shop.  I am also entering this card at Inkspirational #216: Sketch.

I was inspired by the sketch at Inky Paws #126, and I used a dog from Canine Christmas.  You wouldn't know this was a Christmas dog from the way I colored him.  I am also entering this card at Inkspirational #216: Sketch and The Male Room #139: Use Die Cuts.

Maybe my most challenging design is next--trying to create a one layer card for the Stay Crafty With Hero #11: One Layer Card.  Lots of masking, sponging, blending and stenciling.  I am also entering this at A Blog Named Hero: Combine Old and New...Old is the birthday sentiment, and new are the stamps from Pier at the Lake.

Last up is a punny birthday card, inspired by the challenge at Seize the Birthday #193: Watercoloring, A Blog Named Hero: Combine Old and New--Old is the sentiment and fish die cuts and new is the Wave and Sea die, and Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers #163: W is for Water.

 And one more card, just for fun--it is the first card I have made from The Greetery Fresh Air.   I will enter it at Simon Says Wednesday Challenge Anything Goes.

 That's it for me today.  Hope everyone has a good week.
