Krafty Chicks Challenge #742: CHRISTMAS

Time for another great challenge from the Krafty Chicks Challenge Blog. 

Welcome to week 2 of our challenges and that's to use a Christmas or any holiday/winter theme on your project. I chose to put the spotlight on fun with a snowman this week!

As the season approaches, I can't wait to see snowmen in the front yards. Growing up we spent a lot of time outdoors. I never minded the cold then but I'm a big chicken now. This card brings back memories of fun times creating snowmen, snow angels, snowball fights, skating, broomball, and sledding (or as we Canadians call it: tobogganing).

For this card, I'm using Layout #9 from page 22 of Stampin' Up!'s Annual Catalogue. Great way to use up some DSP or small pieces of card stock we tend to collect.

Products used:

• Stamp Set: Snow Day (166490)
  
• Card Stock: Real Red (102482), Flirty Flamingo (141416)
• DSP: Let It Snow (retired)
  
• Ink Pads: Blueberry Bushel (147138)
• Accessories: Stylish Shape Dies (159183), Paper Snips Scissors (103579), Tinsel Gems (161623), Stampin' Dimensionals (104430)
   

To keep the inside of the card and the envelope clean and simple, I just used a little more DSP. Quick and easy and done.

Head on over to the Krafty Chicks Challenge Blog for more details about the challenge and for more inspiration for Christmas week from the Design Team. There's even a place to upload your project at the end. I hope you play along with us and show us what's happening in your craft space.

Krafty Chicks Challenge #741: STAMPS

Happy Krafty Chicks Thursday to you!

It's the first week of a brand new month, which means it's our STAMPS week challenge. As long as something is stamped on your project, (rubber, polymer or digi) (sentiment or image), it qualifies for the challenge. 

 

For our STAMPS challenge this week, I created an Encouragement card. I'm using another Card Template from page 22 of Stampin' Up!'s Annual Catalogue. This is Layout 8. Here's a close up:

Products used:

• Stamp Set: Grown With Kindness (Paper Pumpkin February 2019)
  
• Card Stock: Thick Basic White (159229), Melon Mambo (115320)
• DSP: Have A Cuppa (retired)
  
• Ink Pads: Memento (132708)
• Stampin' Blends: Melon Mambo (153112), Pool Party (154894), Smokey Slate (154904)
  
• Accessories: Paper Snips Scissors (103579), Stampin' Dimensionals (104430)

No card is complete without finishing the inside with a coordinating image and more DSP. Same goes for the envelope. Keep it simple.
