25 Days of Christmas Tags 2020...Day 17...Picket Fence

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 17!

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

Today I am happy to have Picket Fence Studios as our sponsor. 

I think that these 2 deer look so cute together...I assume they are mother and daughter.  My sentiment if from Altenew, and I really like how delicate it is...just as dainty as my reindeer.

My next 2 tags use only one small stamp from On a Christmas Walk, and it is really amazing how much one stamp can do, if you put it to work.  I die cut and colored the gingerbread people and put them in the window on this tag.

Lots of stamping on the card, but I didn't worry too much about whether it was perfectly lined up....they are gingerbreads after all.

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.

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!!

My Crafty Weekend

Hello and happy Sunday.  I had a crafty weekend, and now I can post what I have made.

First up is a Mother's Day card using PTI Grans Garden that was inspired by the Project Reach Out Challenge at Ink to Paper, the photo at Just us Girls #533, the sketch at Just Add Ink #502.

This next card was inspired by the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch #369 (especially Donna's and Michele's fun skateboard cards), AAA Birthday #12: Dots and/or Stripes (dots on the dog's hat, stripes on the bird's party favor), Color Throwdown #590, and Stay Crafty with Hero #6: Out of the Box (using the sentiment as a skateboard for my dog).

Here's a fun one, using a brand new to me stamp from Picket Fence called Leave as a Friend.  I am entering this card at AAA Cards #164: One image + optional twist inspired by TV.  My card is inspired by Mr. Rogers Neighborhood (the TV show which I grew up on) and this card represents the Neighborhood of Make Believe.  Difficult to see in this photo, but I used an impression plate to texture the card behind the neighborhood with sun rays.  I am also entering this card at Addicted to Stamps and More #386: Anything Goes.

I am entering my next card at the Paper Smooches Happy Things challenge, using the sketch at The Paper Players #448.  I created a happy little scene using Paper Smooches Promenade stamps, and I am depicting where I will finally meet a friend for ice cream or coffee, once the quarantine is lifted.  These stamps are at least 5 years old, so I am entering this card at Retro Rubber #133:  Anything Goes.

Finally, a Hoppy Birthday card using some Pond Frog dies from Poppystamps.  I am entering this card at Poppystamps Challenge #67: Puddle Jumping, Perfectly CAS #8: Masking. and CAS Colours & Sketches #367.

That's it for me today.

Stay Safe
