ProCraftinators Club November Edition

Have you started your holiday card making yet? I have not, I have made a few here and there but nowhere near what I need. With postage being so high now I actually hand more out at church and to friends than I mail.

This one is for the ProCraftinators Club Instagram hop.

This hop is where a group of us crafty friends break out supplies from an in person or virtual event that we attended,  (or not attended but signed up for) a class or camp where we signed up but never made all the things (or any of them actually)

My card uses products from Pink & Main from there Holiday event last month, the class was taught by Mindy Eggan. 

when I sign up, I have every intention of actually attending and making all the things and then Life happens. 

Staying Crafty With Hero Arts

I am back with another card for the #staycrafty challenge with A Blog Named Hero.  The November theme for our challenge is Bits and Pieces (use scraps on your project) 

By playing along with us and using at least one product from Hero Arts you will be eligible to win a $50 gift card to the Hero Arts shop. 

For this card, I used some trees I had left over from the Tree Pattern Cover plate. The sentiment from the Holly Berries Stamp & Cut set is embossed on a scrap of black cardstock.

Birthday + 1

Today starts a new challenge at AAA Cards. This is one of our new games this year, Plus one.

All you have to do is take the center circle prompt and add one of the outer circle prompts. I chose the flower prompt to add to the birthday card. 

To make this card, I started with a white top folding A2 card base and a white panel. I stamped the floral image from the Sketches Roses by Creative Worship Stamps in the center of the panel then colored it using Copic markers. After it was colored, I laid the Vintage Lace Doily over it and ink blended some aqua ink over it. To finish the card, I added the greeting below

Bits & Pieces

Today starts our  #staycrafty Monthly challenge for November with A Blog Named Hero.

Our challenge theme is Bits & Pieces to use scraps on your project. 

By playing along with us and uploading your project using at least one product by Hero Arts you will be eligible to win a $50 gift card to the shop. To do that just link your project over on the Hero Arts blog. 

To make this card, I started with a white top folding A2 card base and a white panel. I used the Hexagon Infinity dies to create the panel the trees are on. I used the Tree Pattern Cover plate to make other cards and the trees are left over from that. The sentiment is from the Holly Berries Stamp & Cut XL, heat embossed with white on a scrap of black cardstock. 

Good Tidings

Today starts a new challenge at Addicted to Stamps & More. Challenge 505 is to use die cuts, stencils or both.

To make this card, I started with a white top folding A2 card base , a white panel and a panel of white distress heavystock. I used distress ink in Pineneedles, Lucky Clover and Rustic Wilderness on the distress heavystock and cut them out with the Tree Pattern Cover Plate by Hero Arts.  The greeting is from the Holly Berries Stamp & Cut, also by Hero Arts. 

Snowflake

Today starts a new challenge at Addicted to CAS.  Helen is our hostess and she chose code word…

To make this card, I started with a white top folding A2 card base and a Midnight panel. I stamped a snowflake pattern on the navy panel with VersaMark ink and embossed it with silver powder. I stamped the greeting with midnight ink and cut it out with the coordinating die.

This card is also for the CAS challenge over on Splitcoaststampers.

Deer to my Heart

Today's card uses a new set by Dare 2B Artzy, Floral Fawn.  This set is the cutest and can be used for masculine cards. 

My card is Clean and Simple.  I started with a white top folding A2 card base and a whte panel. I stamped the image on the white panel, colored it using Copic markers and the cut it out with the coordinating die. I also cut two more and added to the image to give it more dimension. 

to finish the card, I stamped the greeting on the base itself and then added the image.

Rediscover Your Supplies - October Edition

Today's card is for the Rediscover your supplies hop over on instagram. 

The premise of this hop is to find hidden treasures instead of buying new supplies. I challenge you to rummage through your closets, bins, shelves and drawers. You just may be surprised at what you have tucked away. This month we are focusing on Halloween supplies. 

My card uses a set by The Rabbit Hole Designs. and a Tim Holtz stencil. 

Cozy Fall

I am back with another card for the current StayCrafty challenge of Mellow Yellow. To play along with us for a chance to win a $50 gift card to the shop, upload your project using at least one Hero Arts product over on the Hero Arts blog.

To make this card, I started with a white top folding A2 card base and a white panel. I used the Fairy Tale Forest Layering Stencil, a couple acorns from the Autumn Leaves Fancy dies and the sentiment from the Pick of the Patch Stamp & Cut.
