**** Christmas at Sweet Stampin ****

 Good morning folks,

Hope everyone is well.  Scary stuff going on with the threat of this new variant.   Our daughter had her booster shot Thursday night and has been very ill. I feel for her as she is immune compromised and on doctors instruction received it earlier that the 6 mo. wait.   Hopefully it just means the drug is doing what it's supposed to.

Today starts a new challenge at

I have a slimline card for you that uses some cute little stamps from MFT.  I have used the banner stamp and die from StampinUP.  Trees are dies from Spellbinder.

*** Card of many Layers **

Hello folks,

I hope you are all well.

Today starts a new challenge at

Sweet Stampin Challenge

where we would like to see Lots of Layers on your Creations

I have coloured with Copics a digital image from Mariola Budek called She Wolf
I do like these stunning drawings and find them very easy to colour as the shading is already done for you. Card base is white, with layers using kraft cardstock then a matted silver.  The frame is a Spellbinder oldie, cut in kraft on top of which I used a stitched rectangle die to cut a layer in silver.  The image was cut using a smaller stitched rectangular die.  Sentiment is from a Lawn Fawn stamp and die set, stamped with Black Memento Ink.  

I would like to enter the following challenges:

*** Something different **

 Hello everyone,

I hope you are well and enjoying the weekend.

I'm here today to tell you it's time for a new challenge at

Sweet Stampin

where we are challenging you to use something not usually seen on your cards. This was a perfect time for me to use some of the unusual items I tend to save.  This little flag was originally perched on a delicious tower of individual sized bundt cakes that I received for my birthday in February and I thought it was too cute to trash.

I've coloured with Copics a digital stamp called Aurora Pandemic from TheEastWind. The sentiment has been stamped with versamark, white embossing powder added and heat embossed, cut using an MFT die.   This card is for one of my granddaughters.

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Aud Sentiments Challenge #272 - April

CRAFT Challenge #253 - Communication 4.15

Daisy Chain Challenge #51 - April

Thanks for visiting today. Hop on over to the blog and see the fantastic inspiration from my very creative team mates.

*** Teens or Children at Sweet Stampin ***

 

Hello, hope your weekend is going well.

I've not been in a crafty mood these last few weeks and apologize for not visiting. My mojo left and I've no idea where it has gone. I have a list of cards that need to be made and have been procrastinating which is not unusual.  I do hope I get out of this slump soon.   

It's been snowing here for the last couple of days...everything looks so pretty covered in white.  With Valentines and my birthday coming up there should be some flowers arriving soon which is sure to make me smile. I do love having fresh bouquets around the house....and yes, hubby has been well trained...bless him.

now on to business...We are starting a new challenge at

Sweet Stampin Challenge

where we would like to see creations for teens or children.

I've used a MFT die to create these runners.  I know this card will be perfect for one of my granddaughters.   The sentiment stamp is from MFT as well as the background stamp.

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Creative Fingers Challenge #201   2.20

*** Thank You ***

Hello folks,

Hope your weekend is going well and that you are safe. 

Today starts a new challenge at

"Sweet Stampin Challenge"

where we have the theme of "Thank You"

I've pulled out some oldies but goodies. I've had these dies and rubber stamps for many years and still love the elegant look they add to cards.  

I used glossy gold cardstock for the background and stamped Spellbinder Fleur De Lis Labels Twenty stamp with versamark, added gold embossing powder before heat embossing.  This stamp set uses the Spellbinder Labels Twenty die which I used to cut out the label.  I stamped the sentiment with dark grey ink.  Ribbon is from my stash.   The Spellbinder die used for the background is Tapestry.

Another view showing the embossed stamping.

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Stay well and stay safe my friends.
 Please know, I am thankful for your visits and support.
