Perfect weather to get lost a while in my craft room. I wanted to make a card for some fun challenges. I stenciled coffee cups on a green cardstock front with distress oxide ink (<a href="https://www.newtonsnookdesigns.com/mugs-stencil/" target="_blank">Mugs Stencil by Newton's Nook</a>). The stamped image and sentiment are by Newton's Nook (<a href="https://www.newtonsnookdesigns.com/holiday-haul/" target="_blank">Holiday Haul</a>). I thought it would be fun to put cup dies in the bed of the pick-up truck. I used <a href="https://www.newtonsnookdesigns.com/cup-of-cocoa-die-set/" target="_blank">Newton's Nook Cup of Cocoa die set </a>for the cups. I put striped washi tape at the top and bottom. Glad to have another Christmas card done for the 2024 mailings. Thanks for stopping by and stay dry (hide in your craft room...wink).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhRPO6WKdz6KRnRj61tqRy-4omkDXYCmzugyBKjKqH5VQULP1WQCJPNYwBkMJpfJfVJOzL89AIEGGMo-r_Fc8lZCDuA4cH4hWbQkgO1dy48rcNRk16UlD2cH-IbajsPnygYrbbBZVX2ikFpIjqa3wFBm3dw31WLCqJemF5F1OgGblikVnaC8uRUJH7JflA/s400/Inky%20Paws%20Green%20Challenge%20Graphic.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="400" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhRPO6WKdz6KRnRj61tqRy-4omkDXYCmzugyBKjKqH5VQULP1WQCJPNYwBkMJpfJfVJOzL89AIEGGMo-r_Fc8lZCDuA4cH4hWbQkgO1dy48rcNRk16UlD2cH-IbajsPnygYrbbBZVX2ikFpIjqa3wFBm3dw31WLCqJemF5F1OgGblikVnaC8uRUJH7JflA/w320-h320/Inky%20Paws%20Green%20Challenge%20Graphic.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.newtonsnookdesigns.com/cup-of-cocoa-die-set/" target="_blank">Inky Paws Challenge</a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsDUIwzhMwI0bOX9Jt9ogTSzU1e0CLf0hiPhzEPbQfoZ5bUPjawnwytRo9xKW_v5pG6LkRqRHoiR5vwHChEy6J5wIbHpifAU9g3llcrVIep7_ElS6MiiZkRfEd1iJuXdvsChcGc_9RNoPZZ93OnVuJpdgScvF3-5_f9bJLsBuBEnbJw7IfwIRDwMqYTDAV/s640/Caaffeinated%20Green%20Graphic.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="640" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsDUIwzhMwI0bOX9Jt9ogTSzU1e0CLf0hiPhzEPbQfoZ5bUPjawnwytRo9xKW_v5pG6LkRqRHoiR5vwHChEy6J5wIbHpifAU9g3llcrVIep7_ElS6MiiZkRfEd1iJuXdvsChcGc_9RNoPZZ93OnVuJpdgScvF3-5_f9bJLsBuBEnbJw7IfwIRDwMqYTDAV/s320/Caaffeinated%20Green%20Graphic.png" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://caffeinatedchristmascardchallenge.blogspot.com/2024/03/caffeinated-christmas-card-challenge-27.html" target="_blank">Caffeinated Coffee Card Challenge </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/wednesdaychallenge/simon-says-anything-goes-114/" target="_blank">Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge </a>(Anything Goes)</div><br /> <p></p>Beverly S.http://www.blogger.com/profile/02088404570873676419noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8173482877572885271.post-47539745467093530322024-02-28T11:25:00.000-08:002024-02-28T11:25:12.474-08:00Birthday Smiles Card<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcDU_vR-KcY9wVmWNeHomWf3oCVvJ2GjIS48p1nQN48JwCkiWMEvQuOLOjsd_HpQCitwJxa_9JER1sWeU9NbwbQM68dnZtHUngCOdJNbHMnIHr6fTlZ6Wtwv5hqNdlhAfwHJob7A0VOWENZtESnfOn0EVtGdWzyOeZys-5QWzyrw1lrslNwhSiNflNFY33/s640/Uniko%20Birthday%20Card.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcDU_vR-KcY9wVmWNeHomWf3oCVvJ2GjIS48p1nQN48JwCkiWMEvQuOLOjsd_HpQCitwJxa_9JER1sWeU9NbwbQM68dnZtHUngCOdJNbHMnIHr6fTlZ6Wtwv5hqNdlhAfwHJob7A0VOWENZtESnfOn0EVtGdWzyOeZys-5QWzyrw1lrslNwhSiNflNFY33/w480-h640/Uniko%20Birthday%20Card.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.uniko.co.uk/" target="_blank">Uniko i</a>s celebrating it's 12th birthday this month.

The sentiment (one of Scrapbook.com's stamp sets) was stamped in red ink. I added a quick bow and BAM, another card ready for 2024 Christmas mailings.

We've also baked cookies and been in the kitchen way too much...wink.

One of my husband's friends had his present wrapped in a pretty sentiment gift wrap. However when the present was opened the cardinals and birch tree design was on the under side of the paper. I immediately knew I wanted to save it for making a card! I used a die cut pattern from the Silhouette Design store for the cardinal and tree branch. A stamped sentiment at the top plus musical washi tape and I am on my way to being ready for Christmas mailings in 2024. Yay!

The green snowflake background was done with a <a href="https://www.newtonsnookdesigns.com/snowfall-stencil/" target="_blank">Newton's Nook snowflake stencil</a> and white texture paste. I die cut it with an older die from my stash. I used a new stamp set from <a href="https://www.newtonsnookdesigns.com/holiday-haul/" target="_blank">Newton's Nook called Holiday Haul.</a> It was a lot of fun to color with alcohol markers.

I know I will need them after eating the dressing, turkey and pecan pie on Thanksgiving! This fun card uses a stamp image from <a href="https://techniquejunkies.com/fat-pants/" target="_blank">Technique Junkies (Fat Pants)</a>. I stamped it in a dark gray ink by Gina K Designs on orange cardstock. The "gobble on" die cut was done with my Silhouette Cameo<a href="https://www.silhouettedesignstore.com/designs/?search=335366&sortby=relevance&submitted_search=true"> (Gobble On #335366)</a>.
