C4C115 - White Christmas!

Happy Saturday!!

I'm hosting my last challenge for the Crazy 4 Challenges Blog this month!!

This is the time of year when many of us start decorating our homes for the upcoming holiday season!! Well I think, being a Canadian, the greatest outdoor decoration of all is that which Mother Nature gives us PLENTY of!!! SNOW!!! For me, Christmas just isn't the same without some fresh fallen snow!

This week's challenge is to make a card or project with some sort of snow on it!!!

I love the look of white on white and decided to give it a try for this challenge! The card turned out ok but I struggled with the photograph! I wanted to catch the texture and dimension but I lost some of the crisp white-ness(?) of it!

 Oh well! 

This was super simple to make with just a few punches, embossing folders and some whisper white cardstock!

If you decide to play along with us, all you have to do is create a card/project and upload it to your blog and/or to your SCS Gallery using the keyword C4C115. Don't forget to head back to the C4C Blog and link it on Mr Linky so that everyone else can see it too.

Stampalicious Monday - Mix it Up!

 THIS WEEK'S Totally Stampalicious Blog CHALLENGE!!

Isn't nice when you can get more bang for your buck but combining 2 stamp sets together to create a whole new card?!!!

Let's see how you combine your different stamp sets to get more versatility out of them!!!

 

I used December Margaret and a sentiment from Pimp My Ride Stella!

I actually started this card last week for the Splitcoast Wednesday Sketch Challenge but couldn't quite get it finished! I won't bother entering it for that one now so I took a few liberties with the sketch!

We'd love it if you'd play along and you just never know when we'll be giving away prizes to our challenge players!! Just leave a link to your challenge entry on your blog or on-line gallery back at the Totally Stampalicious Blog and maybe YOU could win!!!

C4C114 - Black, White and WOW!

It's another happy Saturday and that means another fun challenge from the

Crazy 4 Challenges Blog!

I'm hosting this month and this week I decided to do one of my all-time favorite challenges....

Black, White and WOW!

That means create a card or project using black & white and only ONE other WOW color!!

So here's my creation...a very simple one, but I think it's some got some wow factor!!

 I don't think you can really tell in the photo, but the ornaments are popped up dimensionals. I think the rest is pretty straight-forward so I won't bore with any more details!!

If you'd like to play along, just be sure to link your creation back at the C4C Blog using the handy Mr.Linky provided!!

Another SCS Challenge!

Well Winter is here and I think it means to stay for a while!!!

We are getting our first big snowfall of the year as I sit here and type...I only wish I didn't have to go out in it! Alas, the kids at the school would be a little sad AND hungry if I didn't show up to make their lunch today!

Today's Ways To Use It challenge over on Splitcoast is based on the song 'Baby it's Cold Outside'!

So here is Winter Stella from the Totally Stampalicious Bugaboo Line!!
You have to check out the other sassy sentiments that come with her....hilarious!!

She has a BAD-ITUDE when it comes to snow....the inside of this card reads 

'...somewhere else!'

I used some CTMH papers for this one!

Holly Day Gift Box!

Happy Stampalicious Monday!

We're having a 3D Challenge over at the Totally Stampalicious Blog! This time of year, I find I'm trying to make as many little gift sets as possible!!

I created this cute little Purse using my Cricut and the Bags, Tags, Boxes and More cartridge!!! Mistletoe Scarlette is so fancy and chic, she NEEDS an adorable handbag to go along with her!! It's stuffed with chocolate and Candy Cane Kisses!

Well that's it from me today!! Thanks so much for stoppin' by for a little Stamps 'n' Coffee!

Happy Saturday!!

It's my turn to host the challenges over at the Crazy 4 Challenges Blog I've got another CRAZY challenge for everyone!

This week we're making a TRIPLE THREAT card! We want to see AT LEAST 3 of each of the following:

3 different papers (yes card stock counts as a paper)

3 embellishments

3 dies or punches

If you decide to play along with us, all you have to do is create a card/project and upload it to your blog and/or to your SCS Gallery using the keyword C4C113. Don't forget tohead back over to the C4C Blog and link it on Mr Linky so that everyone else can see it too.

.

So here's my creation! I had some fun playing with a few punches this week!! I've seen so many GORGEOUS wreaths made from different punches and I thought I'd give it a try!

I used Martha Stewart punches for the the branches and snowflakes. The pearls were are colored with Copics to match the Cherry Cobbler!

I punched a 2-1/2 inch circle out then used my 1-1/14 inch circle to punch out the center!

Well I guess that's it from me today!!

C4C112 Wrap it Up!

Happy Saturday!!!

It's my month to host the challenges for the Crazy 4 Challenges Blog and I thought I'd start us off with one of my FAVORITE things to create, Bags, Boxes, Altered stuff...you name it, I love it!!!! So this week we're going to WRAP IT UP! With the Holidays fast approaching, let's see how you'll give a gift that special creative and personal touch!

I ended up making a few different things for this challenge!

First, I pulled out my Cricut and the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cartridge that my pal Becky lent me, to create this fun tree shaped box! I stuffed it with Kisses and then created a card to match using one of our new Christmas sets from Totally Stampalicious - Deacon and Ava HoHo!

Then I decided to use a fun template that I bought from Creations by AR a few months back when she sponsored the C4C Blog! This is her Gift and Card Combo!

I used Pimp My Ride Stella from the Totally Stampalicious Bugaboo Line!

I'll be giving this to my niece as she will be getting her license in January but already has a car!

Here is a picture of it open! 

(now that I've seen the pic I realize the inside needs a little dressing up yet)

I've put a Gold Canyon Air Freshener and a Gas Card in it!! 

 (I really hope she doesn't check out my blog lol)

So that's it for now but I've only just started all the stuff I'd like to make for friends and family this year!! If I could ask for anything this year...it would probably be more craftin' time!!! LOL!!

I hope you'll play along with us! Just be sure to link your project back at the C4C Blog using the MR.Linky provided!
