February with Creative Crafters

   The Creative  Crafters starts a monthly challenge every 15th of the month and I've made       as inspiration for this month. 

This challenge is always "Anything Goes".  
Be sure to join The Creative  Crafters challenge! 

After I made this card, I actually almost tore it up, but knowing how I see some creations right after I finish as something that didn't turn out the way I wanted them to and that I was so disappointed in it that I had to hide those projects away for some time.  The same thing happened here.  I put it under some dies I had out and then when I rediscovered it, I actually fell in love with this.  These were actually some leftovers and new products Santa dropped off for me.

Supplies:
Whimsy Comfort and Joy stamps & matching dies (apples)
Waffle Flower Wonderful Christmas Combo stamps and dies (I do not see the dies online) - sentiment
Poppy Stamps Stained Glass Snowflake (no longer at Poppy Stamps)
Paper in stash
Copic markers used on apples
Unknown brand for the Stitched Arches but I think they are Die-namics from years ago.
Altennew enamel dots
Vagabond die cut machine

It's January's Card Chain Challenge Reveal Today!

It's a Card Chain Challenge Reveal Today


My card has layers of dies and distress inks and it's a gift from Santa Claus and the first time I've used the dies.
Yes, I believe in Santa Claus because he always brings me what I want.  LOL

I wondered how hard this would be to put together - the Die is just ONE die for the box and then little dies for the different little things you can stick on the cupcakes, such as a strawberry, blueberry, cherry and flags.  You can use the stencils to sponge your color on each part of the box, very easy to use and this was such fun to work on.  

Supplies:
Waffle Flower 
Boxed Cupcakes Die-n-stencil 
Waffle Flower Hello Friend Stamps and Dies (not available)
Distress Inks
Vagabond die cut machine

I'm entering the following challenges:

Time for Hero Arts in Red and/or Pink

 Are we Hero Arts Fans?  Yes I am!


The Challenge for this month is
Red and/or Pink Colors
As long as red and/or pink are the predominant color(s) on the project, it is good.

You can make a card, an ATC, a Tag, a journal, whatever you can imagine, just make it primarily red and/or pink colors.

I'm starting Winter cards early this year and my new (Santa gave me some very cute dies) Gingerbread Man is making his debut today.


Supplies:
Hero Arts Peeking Gingerbread Man Fancy Die
Copic markers
paper in stach
Vagabond die cut machine
