World Card Making Day 2014

Hello & Happy Saturday!

It was a busy day in my stamp room today! I spend most of the day stamping and once again working on craft show things. After supper I went in search of a challenge to participate in so I could make another Christmas card for my upcoming craft shows. I went to the Freshly Made Sketches blog for inspiration! It's been quite awhile since I played along with that challenge and think I just may need to get back to it on a weekly basis! They have some awesome sketches each week and the design team always has some pretty inspiring cards!

So here is the sketch....

I just love the Festive Flurries stamp set & matching Framelits from last year so I decided to break out some Winter's Frost DSP to go with them. I'm so drawn to the colors in this DSP! I also love this sketch too!

Freshly Made Sketches #156 Card:

Well, that's all for today!

Merry Monday Challenge #98

Hello & Happy Monday!

It's time for another terrific challenge from over at Merry Mondays!

This week we have a terrific challenge so I hope you can grab some supplies and play along!

Here we go!

This challenge was a wonderful one but boy, did it stump me! I guess I really do not have much in country Christmas stamps! As I sat and stewed over this it hit me that I had a scrapbook kit that Stampin Up had out when I first got into stamping. It is called Hand Stitched Holiday and I also seem to think there was a coordinating stamp set. Anyways, I dug out the kit and used a few pieces from it for this card. The DSP is also from the kit. I did however stamp the little sentiment, punched it out from the small Oval Punch and sponged some Chocolate Chip around the edges to give it a country feel. I also added 2 buttons tied with twine on the swag and also on the stocking. I was quite pleased with it!

 

On the inside I put another punched out swag and stamped a sentiment that I felt was perfect for this challenge. What do you think??
