Shopping Our Stash #279

Hey everyone and happy Tuesday!!

It's time for a new challenge over at 

Shopping Our Stash!

This week challenge #279 is....

Warm and Fuzzy!

(Fireplace, Warm hats, Mittens, Cocoa, etc.)

Here is what I created:

I thought it would be neat to try and recreate a living room setting with the fireplace all aglow and warm. This was actually pretty easy to do. I cut a strip of patterned paper for the carpet, added a striped white piece of cardstock for the wainscoting and a grey piece of cardstock for the wall color onto a piece of scrap cardstock. I then attached that to the front of my card base. I used a die from My Favorite Things for the fireplace and stockings. I assembled the fireplace, attached some "baseboards" and a "chair rail" and placed it onto my card front. To finish off my card, I stamped my greeting, matted it and hung it above the fireplace. I had this sweet little branch swag in one of my stamp sets so I colored it and fussy cut it out and placed it over the greeting. 

Neglected items from my stash that I used are:

• Fireplace die from My Favorite Things. I have had this die for about a year and never used it until now.
• Branch from the July 2014 Peachy Keen Stamp Club set. I have never used this particular image from here.
• Patterned Paper from the Remarkable paper pad. I hardly ever use this paper pad even though it has some beautiful colors and patterns in it. 

Be sure to head over to the Shopping Our Stash Challenge Blog to see what my design team sisters created. I hope you will decide to make a project and join us, I would love to see what you create!

Thankful For Fall Blog Hop

Welcome to the Thankful for Fall Blog Hop!




This hop is all about the beauty of Fall and being thankful for what we do have. Enjoy the creativity, get inspired, share some crafty love, and then randomly thank some one. 

There are nine stops and you won't want to miss any of them! If you are here from Janis' blog, Pause Dream Enjoy, then you are in the right place. If you just happened onto my blog today and would like to join us, then start at Carson's Creations ~ Georgiana's blog. There is also a complete line-up at the end of this post just in case you need it. 

What would a hop be without Blog Candy?!?! Since each of use are thankful for our crafty friends, each blog has a bit of candy that needs to be won. Thank goodness for candy!

And Here's How:

Be sure to be a FOLLOWER and COMMENT on each blog.

If you are a follower, your comment could be randomly drawn to win some fantastic prizes! Read each blog post carefully to see what is being offered at each stop along the way! 

Here is my project:

Nothing says Fall to me quite like Pumpkin coffee, pumpkin bread, pumpkin cake, pretty much pumpkin everything lol! Yup! I'm one of those crazy pumpkin people! :) When I saw this cute little coffee pod cart in the Harvest Sunset set from SVGCuts, I had to have it. It was so simple to put together and pretty quick too! After I had my cart assembled, I stamped out my greeting, trimmed it out and flagged the end. The cart comes with a banner that can be cut out but it was a little big for what I needed so it was just easier for me to create my own with my paper trimmer. I curled one end and attached it to my handle. I added a double bow and tucked some leaves under. I finished off my cart with some sparkly enamel dots to act as the "screws" for the wood panels on my cart.

My daughter is a bigger Pumpkin nut than I am, so this cart filled with Pumpkin Spice coffee happily found a home with her lol!

Here is a look at the prize that I am offering.

Two 6x6 paper pads:

Remember to win, you need to be a follower of my blog and leave a comment!

Hello with a Smile :)

Hi crafty friends!

I hope you are having a wonderful Wednesday!

Today I am here to share a fun card that uses some new

 Pink & Main stamps and dies!

Isn't she sweet? I used the new stamp set called Picture Perfect for her. I stamped her, colored her and paper pieced her clothes and then used the coordinating Picture Perfect Dies to cut her out. For her smiling face, I used one of the faces from the Mini Faces Set 2 stamp set. I think she is absolutely darling! I popped her up with some foam tape onto a card layer that was cut out using the Stitched Rounded Rectangles dies. I finished off my card with some ribbon, a bow and some sequins.

Shopping Our Stash #278

Hey everyone and happy Tuesday!!

It's time for a new challenge over at 

Shopping Our Stash!

This week challenge #278 is....

Use something already out on your desk!!

This was a hard one for me. My craft space is in my dining room and our house is a open floor plan. You can see my crafty space as soon as you walk in our front door so I am in the habit of keeping my desk clean. As soon as I get done with a project, I clean my area up. I do have a little soap dish that I keep extra die cuts in though so that is what I used for my project. 

I had a tag and some hearts that I had foiled in here. A few months back I originally planned on using them in a layout for my Project Life album but ended up going a different direction so into the dish they went. I pulled them out and used them to create a really simple card.

Forgive my picture, for some reason I had a really hard time trying to photograph this. I'm guessing it was all the foil. This was the best picture of about 25 lol.  Anywho, I doodled around the edge of my card base with a black pen and added a black scallop rectangle with some foam tape to the center. I added some twine to my tag and adhered it at an angle. I added the hearts and called the card good! Easiest card I have done in quite awhile and I love how it turned it out!!

Be sure to head over to the Shopping Our Stash Challenge Blog to see what my design team sisters created. I hope you will decide to make a project and join us, I would love to see what you create!

DCWV Nov. Stack-A-Holic Sketch Challenge

Hi there crafty friends!

I hope you are having a terrific Thursday!!

Today I would like to share a card that I created for the

November Stack-a-holic challenge over at the DCWV blog.

Here is the card sketch for the month of November:

(Sketch courtesy of My Favorite Things)

Here is the card that I created based on the above sketch:

I used some pretty prints from the Christmas Plaid stack, I love the gold foiling! My picture does not do justice to all the shimmer on this card. I added some faux white stitching to my red and my green plaid. I used the Holly and Hollydays stamp sets from Pink & Main for my image and sentiment. I popped up my holly and greeting with some foam tape. 

I will also be entering this into the challenge over at

Shopping Our Stash #277

Hey everyone and happy Tuesday!!

It's time for a new challenge over at 

Shopping Our Stash!

This week challenge #277 is....

Gobble 'til you wobble

(make a Thanksgiving or Thank You card)

Here is the card I created:

I kept my card fairly simple so that I could focus on the wreath and greeting. I stamped my wreath with some brown ink onto a piece of cream cardstock and added some pops of color with markers. I used my patterned paper as a guide for my colors. I also added some gold metallic dots with a gel pen. I cut out my greeting using a word die from some kraft card stock and placed it onto a piece of vellum and adhered it over my wreath. 

Neglected items from my stash that I used are:

--Heidi Swapp Brown Ink (I always seem to reach for black ink)

--Gold Gel Pen (bought it for Chritmas cards last year and never used it)
