ATSM #462 - Christmas


At this fortnight's Addicted to Stamps and More Challenge we ask that you create Christmas/holiday projects. 


I created a series of holiday cards using Concord & 9th Winter Wonderland nutcrackers I worked up last year but didn't get around to using.  They were too cute to give away last Christmas but needs must.

ATCAS #252 - Geometric


The latest Addicted to CAS Challenge code word is "geometric." I'm trying to make as many holiday cards as possible throughout the year so it's not so crazy in November and December.  Wish me luck!


The geometric element of my card is obviously the honeycomb hexagons on the background. I particularly like how the Whimsy Hexagon Die which I used to impress around the scene turned out.


I love the Clearly Besotted Bee Merry set so welcomed the opportunity to combine that with the Whimsy die and stencil I made from the Lawn Fawn Honeycomb Background die.

CAS on Friday #277 - Masculine


This round at the CAS on Friday Challenge we're asking for masculine cards.  This is always a tough one for me; masculine cards are just so masculine. LOL.

I used a couple of stencils and neutral colors with the Julie Hickey Designs Essentially Christmas #2 stamp set to create a one layer holiday card. Masculine but not too.

ATSM #461- Make Your Mark


It's time for the Addicted to Stamps and More Make Your Mark Challenge, my personal favorite.


I had gotten the Spellbinders BetterPress Season's Greetings Evergreens at my local shop, Urban Papercrafter in Edmonds, and played around with color.


I used a variety of bright Catherine Pooler inks which worked beautifully with the BetterPress system, don't you think?


After "pressing" (?) all the trees and sentiments, I glammed up the cards using hot foil for the falling snow.  So simple to make multiples and each still unique.  Love!

SOSS #247 - W for Winter


It's cold and the season of cooties so what better way to "celebrate" than to have winter be the focus of the latest Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers Challenge.


I colored up one of the ultra cute Whimsy Get Well Dragons and added a Lawn Fawn scarf.


Doesn't the dragon look ultra cold and doing poorly?  Thanks to the ever so helpful Google search, turns out it's a bitch.  LOL.  I printed that on my computer using Courier font.
