ATSM #502 - Christmas


I had a crafty get-together recently where we each brought a make 'n take.  Of course, I focused on the holidays as the season is nigh plus I could use it for this fortnight's Addicted to Stamps & More Challenge #502 Christmas.


I created 3 versions so my crafty friends could see the possibilities of what could be done with the contents of their packets.  There's an easy way to personalize with different colored backgrounds, layers, sentiments, and even critters.

Memory Box Stamptember Collab 2025


Oh my goodness, these penguins from the Simon Says Stamps/Memory Box Stamptember collaboration, Good Cheer, are so darn cute!  I love how they're looking up at you.

I stamped them with Versafine Clair Nocturne even though I was going to be coloring with Copics. I just made sure I didn't touch the Versafine with the alcohol ink and was just fine.  I wouldn't have done that if I were coloring up something more detailed.

For the scarves and cup, I paper-pieced them using leftover Sunny Studio Stamps 6x6 paper.  So cute and cheerful!

SOSS #266 - F for Finally Fall


I'm loving that fall is here!  Come help us celebrate at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers Challenge #266 - F for Finally Fall.  Isn't DT member Lee's graphic amazing?!


For my card, I created the sentiment in Word and printed it on text-weight Stardream Metallic Eris.  I used various other Stardream Metallic papers for the leaves.  Even if the paper was already colored, I sponged it with Catherine Pooler inks for more variation, just like fall!
