As You See It Challenge #204

Good Morning Friends!

Happy Sunday!

Hope your all having a nice weekend so far!

My doggies got groomed yesterday and look fabulous!

I also got some errands ran and relaxed the rest of the day!

Today I have a card to share that I made for the As You See It Challenge #204.

Here is their challenge and my samples....

Ok, so you might think that's alot of elements to use on a card but it's really not.

My card came together pretty quickly!

I found a pack of Candy Cane Lane DSP and there was some pieces already cut that fit perfectly for my card. The one sheet has the star on it.

Next was the color red, which is my card base, DSP, ink and my red rhinestones.

I had some small scraps of red grosgrain ribbon that I used for the the bow.

And lastly was the diecut....I pulled out the Stitched Labels Framelits for that!

It was the perfect size to stamp my sentiment on and add my adorable little gingerbread!

Oh, and my card is a Christmas card! hehe

Card Details:

Stamps: Christmas Cookie (retired), Nothing Sweeter (retired)

Ink: Real Red, Early Espresso

Cardstock: Real Red, Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Candy Cane Lane DSP (retired)

Accessories: Stitched Labels Framelits, Cookie Cutter Builder Punch, Red Grosgrain Ribbon, Red Rhinestones, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I have been hoarding this pack of paper but I have come to the conclusion I need to pull this stuff out and get it used up! It was one of my most favorite Christmas packs of DSP ever!

So, check out the As You See It Challenge and play along!

Fun, fun, fun!

Nothing Sweeter

Hello & Happy Friday!

Can you believe today is the last Friday of January?!

 I have a quick card to share that I made for my hubby!

I used the Buffalo Check Background stamp again since it was out on my table.

I pulled out a set from the Holiday Mini Catalog called Nothing Sweeter.

This set also has matching Framelits and I like how versatile it is that it can be used for Valentines Day!

He does so much for me and I wanted to make a special card for him!

Card Details:

Stamps: Buffalo Check, Nothing Sweeter, Takeout Treats (both are from Holiday Mini Catalog)

Ink: Real Red, Memento Black

Cardstock: Real Red, Whisper White

Accessories: Sweetly Stitched Framelits, Circle Layering Framelits, Basketweave EF, Real Red Enamel Heart (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I hope it makes him smile and know how much he is loved!
He's one in a million to me!

Gift Card/ Money Holders

Hello & Happy Monday!

Hope your weekend was a nice one!

Today I am making a tray of deviled eggs and cutting up a cheese & bologna tray to snack on this evening. Shawn is putting a small piece of brisket in the smoker for sandwiches.

Going to go visit some friends later this evening and then back home to get things ready for our Christmas dinner tomorrow.

We popped out to a local antique store yesterday.

I spotted a very small ceramic Christmas tree in the window, so I was going to rescue it.

It was way more than I wanted to pay for it so I ended up buying a piano bench instead.

It was in excellent shape and had storage under the seat.

I know your probably asking.....why a piano bench?

Right now it is in my living room with a Christmas tree sitting on it!

It looks so good! I actually was going to put a couple small ceramic trees on it but I really missed not putting an actual tree up this year...SO, I went to my storage room and got my little tree out.

I got it all finished within about an hour.

I feel so much better now having a tree up (besides all my ceramic trees)!

The Christmas festivities can now start! LOL

 I am sharing the rest of the gift card holders that I made.

These were made for family & friends....

Take a look!

This one uses a retired set called Merry Little Labels from last year.

The DSP is from 2011 called Jolly Holiday.

This one uses the Buffalo Check Background stamp and I paired that with a saying from the Takeout Treats. Both stamps are from the 2018 Holiday Mini Catalog.

This card uses the Candy Cane Season set with matching Candy Cane Builder Punch.

The plaid paper is from the Under the Mistletoe DSP from the SU Annual Catalog.

I love anything plaid!

This one uses the Dashing Deer Bundle.

Sorry the Silver Foil Deer got washed out.

The DSP is from the Festive Farmhouse Suite.

The next 2 cards use the Nothing Sweeter Bundle.

I was late to the party on ordering this bundle!

It is also from the SU Holiday Mini Catalog.

The paper is from the Festive Farmhouse DSP.

This last one uses the Snowflake Sentiment stamp set from last year but it is still available in our SU Annual Catalog. The saying is from a set in the SU Holiday Mini Catalog called Merry Christmas to All. The silver Snowflake Trinket came from the Snowflake Showcase Suite that is no longer available.

These are fun to make and a great way to gift money or a gift card in!

I hope you enjoyed seeing all the gift card holders I made this year!

These are very easy, too! I guess that's why I continue to use this same style every year!

My thoughts today....

That is all for now!
I will be back tomorrow with pictures of my ceramic Christmas trees!

Hope you can find a few minutes to stop by!

Have a wonderful Christmas Eve, my stamp friends!
