Oh, What Fun ~ 2015 Holiday Catalog Countdown

Have you been following along with our countdown over at SSINK?  Are you loving what you've seen so far?!?!?

We are having so much fun showcasing each season/holiday that is represented in the Holiday Catalog!  Today we are sharing our Christmas creations with you.  I absolutely LOVE the Home for Christmas DSP!  It has such a nostalgic feel to it...makes me think of the Christmas decorations my grandma use to put up every year!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Mossy Meadow, Very Vanilla, Home for Christmas DSP

Ink ~ Real Red, Mossy Meadow

Stamp Set ~ Oh What Fun

Other Supplies ~ Linen Thread, Very Vintage Buttons

I could have swore I got some of the adorable Home for Christmas buttons, but they are no where to be found!  (Maybe they are with my missing sequins!)  It's a good thing the Very Vintage Buttons work just as well with this DSP :-)

Happy Stamping!

Mystery Supply Challenge

Happy Wednesday friends!  I'm here today with a fun post that some of the fancy SSINK Design Team Members came up...a Mystery Supply Challenge.  We all drew names and had to send our DT member 3 supplies.  We had to use these 3 supplies to create a card for today's post.  I will admit...I was a bit stressed about it, but once I got my supplies from Tonya, I was pretty excited and had fun coming up with something.

These are the 3 supplies she sent to me...

...and this is what I did with them!

My first thought was to use Build a Birthday, but my friend had just found out she was expecting her second baby girl, so I decided to turn the lace trim in to a cute little tutu :-)

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Watermelon Wonder, Cucumber Crush, Bermuda Bay, Whisper White, Cherry on Top DSP

Ink ~ Watermelon Wonder

Stamp Set ~ Something for Baby, A Dozen Thoughts

Other Supplies ~ Baby's First Framelits, Banner Framelits, 2-1/2" Circle Punch, Bermuda Bay Sequin Trim, Bermuda Bay Bakers Twine, Boho Chic Embossing Folder, 2015-2017 In Color Blossom Accents

This really was a fun challenge and I look forward to doing this again with the SSINK Design Team!  Be sure to check out the rest of the teams creations and click on their individual blogs to see what 3 supplies they received.

Happy Stamping!



Thoughtful Trees

Happy Tuesday Stampin' friends!  It's time for an all new Hand Stamped Sentiments challenge and this week we have an inspiration challenge for you.

At first I struggled with what to do with these pretty pictures, then my mind went to all of the firefighters fighting the wild land fires all over our state. The entire state of Washington remains blanketed in smoke as the fires continue to blaze...the firefighters are always in my thoughts and I pray for their safety daily.  This card is dedicated to the thousands of firefighters putting their lives on the line daily and for their families waiting for them at home.  Thank you!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Soft Sky, Season of Cheer DSP, Vellum

Ink ~ Basic Black

Stamp Sets ~ Lovely as a Tree, A Dozen Thoughts

Other Supplies ~ Tea Lace Doilies, Silver Cording Trim

 

I cased this card from the upcoming Holiday Catalog...I love the simplicity of the card.

 

Time to head on over to see the rest of the design team creations!  Be sure to join in the fun and play along with this challenge.  We love to see what you are inspired to create!

 

Happy Stamping!
