Stamptacular Sunday Challenge #43 Winter Blues

This week we are challenging everyone to make a Winter card or project in just shades of blue and white. For my project I made a gift box with a template I purchased from Papertrey called It's On The House. Very resonably priced and easy to make. I stamped the tag with my Plum Purdy snowman stamp called "Too Much Snow". I colored with my copics. I added some liquid glass with some glitter on it, 3 mini buttons, and 6 Bella Dots in the color Glitter Sky, on the points of the star. I cut the star our with my cricut. I used my Martha Stewart pine boarder punch. (I still think it looks like snowflakes.) I tied the tag on with a couple different colored ribbons. Let's see what's up your sleeve. Should be a fun card. Everyone likes blue winter cards.
Our prize this week is

4 Digital Images from

In Style Stamps

So get going on those cards and get them entered for a chance to win. Thanks In Style Stamps.

Stamptacular Sunday Challenge #39 - Snowtacular

This week at Stamptacular Sunday Challenge we are making cards or projects that include snow. Our prize this week is a fantastic package from:

Card Art




This was my husbands Christmas card from me. He loves snow, and wishes to move farther north when he retires, (I haven't told him yet that he'll be doing that alone, lol). My image was one of my Plum Purdy snowman. The snowmen stamps they produce are absolutely the cutest snowmen. This one had snow on his hat, and I added snow onto his nose and scarf. For the base of my card and also the red nestibility I used the new glitter paper by Best Creation. I also added 2 colors of glitter to his scarf to match the paper. I colored the snowman with my Derwent pencil crayons and mineral spirits. I used my clear glitter on the snowballs and dripping snow at the top of his hat. I added some ribbon I found at Michaels and a beautiful snowflake brad. I placed the card in my tree for an added wintery feel. Hope you like it, I know hubby did.

Stamptacular Sunday Challenge - Let It Shine

This week at Stamptacular Sunday Challenge our challenge is to create a card with as much bling as you can add. I had fun with mine. I used my new Plum Purdy Snowglobe Santa. I just loved this image. I stamped it onto a little square called a Twinchie which you can purchase from Stamping Bella. These are awesome. They are thick squares that you can stamp on and color. I used my Derwent pencil crayons and blended with mineral spirits. I clipped the corners with a corner punch to match the roundness of the snow globe. (You have to push really hard, and please do it before you color incase it wreck it). Then I had some fun with it, I added liquid glass to give it a real snow globe look, and while that was still wet, I sprinkled glitter on it. It turned out really nice. I used some more of that paper pack that my good friend Christine from Dol Creations found at Michaels. The colors are just gorgeous in this pack, all blues and reds. I cut a strip of red plaid to look like ribbon, and mounted that onto red cardstock that I punched with my Martha Stewart Snowflake Boarder punch. I tied a bow with the beautiful white ribbon from Papertrey, and put a large snowflake brad in the middle. The word Joy is red metal stick on letters that I had purchased from Michaels previously.

This should be a popular challenge, because what girl doesn't like bling. Our prizes this week are fantastic. This week we have :

A punch from Stamping Up from Emma. She is also offering free shipping on orders of 45 Euros.







Also Paula from our design team is also offering a beautiful Santa Stamp. Isn't he darling.










So try your hand at a card or project with tons of bling, and join us at Stamptacular Sunday Challenge.

Papertake Weekly - Christmas Crackers

I have finally had some time to play with my new Plum Purdy stamps. This one is called Snow Cream. I think he's adorable. I waited forever for them to come and when they finally came I had no time to stamp them. I used my nestabilities to cut them out. I added some glitter on the snow, and embellished with some pale teal pearls. Coloring was done with my Derwents and mineral spirits. Papertake Weekly has a challenge this week called Christmas Crackers. It is an open Chritmas card challenge, so my Plum Purdy card suits this challenge perfectly.
