Retro Rubber Challenge #114

Hello & Happy Tuesday!

Today I am back with an adorable Christmas card made with the Retro Rubber Challenge in mind!

I've been working on getting holiday cards made so I am not swamped once the holidays arrive!

I love the idea of Christmas in July!

The stamped snowman is from a Stampin Up set from 2000 called Thanks Snow Much.

My card is 5 inches square and I used lots of Stitched Shapes (square) on it.

The embossed panel is from the Quilted Embossing Folder which is also retired.

The DSP is from 2014, Trim the Tree. I have 3 pads of this which I am going to work on using.

Card Details:

Stamps: Thanks Snow Much (retired), Joyous Celebrations (retired)

Ink: Memento Black, Cherry Cobbler, Stampin Blends, Copic Markers

Cardstock: Garden Green, Whisper White, Trim the Tree DSP (retired)

Accessories: Stitched Shapes Framelits, Square Layering Framelits, Quilted EF (retired), Cherry Cobbler Twine (retired), Mini Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Always fun using the old stuff!

I hope I can keep the momentum going because I have LOADS of old stuff that I would be happy to use up!

Check out the Retro Rubber Challenge and play along!

Dynamic Duo's Challenge #96

Hello & Happy Thursday!

Hope your all having a great day!

We went to visit a very good friend of ours last night who has been in the hospital since last Wednesday. She is 7 months pregnant and her water broke. Today is the day they are inducing her labor and as of right now....nothing! The baby will be born at 34 weeks and they have been giving Amy meds to help build up little Vienna's lungs. I'm so excited for her! Her mom is up from Delaware keeping little Dominic while this is all happening. I offered to keep him today if she wanted to be with her daughter for the birth so I wanted to hurry and get my card made ASAP before the call comes.

Anyways, i'm down to the wire on getting my card made for this week's Dynamic Duo's card so here we go!

The color I chose to go with my Gumball Green is Cherry Cobbler! :)

When I think of Gumball Green I think of Christmas so that's the direction I went. I found in my "Image Box" this adorable image already stamped in the colors I needed . The images are from the Joyous Celebration set from the Holiday Mini 2012. I never purchased the set but borrowed it from my friend & stamping buddy, Deb. Thanks Deb! In my stash I found a piece of Gumball Green already embossed with the SU Snow Burst EF and then I embossed a piece of Cherry Cobbler with the Designer Frames EF's. Added a piece of Stitched White Grosgrain and completed my inside. Threw on a few white pearls and called it done. Another card ready for Christmas! Hope you like!
