C4C165 Snowmen!

We have our first 

Crazy 4 Challenges

 challenge of December for you, and today we want to see some 

SNOWMEN!

So I kinda cheated and pulled out some 'pre-made' snowmen to make these adorable little tags (Yes I'm tooting my own horn by calling them adorable). But seriously...I've had these guys just sitting around, all neglected and unloved for YEARS!!!!! I think it's about time they've seen the light of day! 

The only paper I had that matched was some watercolor paper, so I used a sizzix die to cut them and then embossed them with a snowflake ef! I then just matted them on to co-ordinating colored cardstock...added another little tag to write on and voila!!

Feel free to play along, just remember to link your project back to the C4C Blog!

Thanks so much for stoppin' by for a little Stamps 'n' Coffee!!

Put a Bow On It!

I'm back again with my last challenge of the month for Crazy 4 Challenges!

(ok I'm not really here...I've gone down to Vegas with a bunch of my peeps for a little weekend get-away to celebrate my BFF's 30th B-Day but I'm here in spirit)

And YEP! I'm still in the Christmas Spirit! My final challenge for the month of November is to 

PUT A BOW ON IT! 

So I created this card to look like a present with a sweet little Deacon Elf Tag that hangs loosely from the BIG RED BOW!

 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 C4C164. Don't forget to head back to the C4C Blog and link it on Mr Linky so that everyone else can see it too.

Thanks so much for stoppin' by for a little Stamps 'n' Coffee!!

So I'm still hosting the Crazy 4 Challenges Blog and I'm in the Christmas Spirit and still trying to get ahead for the holidays! 

I like to make my own GIFT TAGS to adorn the gifts that I give, so my challenge to you all this week is to 

CREATE A TAG! 

Either a gift tag or a tag on your card...just some sort of TAG!

I started having all kinds of fun with my punches and stamps and created FOUR different tags! I must admit I had a MOJO MELTDOWN in between, but a good night's sleep fixed that and I found myself refreshed in the morning!!

 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 C4C163. Don't forget to head back to the C4C Blog and link it on Mr Linky so that everyone else can see it too.

Christmas Carol Inspired!

Happy Saturday!

I'm the November Hostess over at the Crazy Challenges Blog and this week I thought it would be fun to put the Christmas Carols that always seem to get stuck in our heads this time of year, to good use!!

Create a card Inspired by one of 

YOUR Favorite Christmas Carols!!

Here's one of my faves...the line I sing most often these days seems to be 'Oh the weather outside is frightful...' Stella here has the right attitude though....check out the inside of the card, or 'punchline' if you will! ;-)

And here's the punch line....

We'd love for you to join us! Just post your Christams Carol Inspired creation to your blog or on-line gallery and link it back to the C4C Blog using the InLinkz provided!! Thanks so much for stoppin' by for a little Stamps 'n' Coffee!

3 of a Kind!

So we've had a couple of days of bad weather (not hurricane bad, just some freezing rain) here which, although I don't love it, I can at least see the silver lining and that means more time at home....which means time to play in the Craft Cave! 

 This week's awesome challenge over at the Totally Stampalicious Blog is to create THREE CAS cards using the same stamp but a little differently on each card! Join us and play along...we love to give away prizes and because this is a more 'difficult' challenge there will likely be only a few players to choose from!! Don't forget that if you use OUR stamps, we will DOUBLE the PRIZE!!

 I decided to pull out this adorable Clyde stamp from our Totally Stampalicious Bugaboo Line and color him up a lil' bit differently for each card!

I chose not to put any sentiments on these so I have them at the ready for emergency Birthday, Thank You, Get Well, etc!! I think you can see how versatile our adorable Clyde is!!!!

Thanks so much for stoppin' for a little Stamps 'n' Coffee!!

C4C161 Anything But a Card!

Happy Saturday! It's my turn to be the Hostess over at the Crazy 4 Challenges Blog and I decided to start off with one of my FAVE challenges.... 

ANYTHING BUT A CARD!

I found this adorable gift card holder on Pinterest by Julie Davison

and, as I'm making an effort to actually DO some of the things I find on Pinterest, I thought I better give this easy project a try! 

For instructions on how to make the SUPER EASY gift card holder click HERE

I always think that if you're going to give a generic gift like a gift card (no offense to gift card givers out there...I LOVE to receive them... I just know that some people think it's an 'effortless' gift) then why not 'snazzy' it up with a little chocolate in a hand-crafted box-type-thingy! The box I created here is a particularly simple one as I really don't have a whole lotta spare craftin' time *sniff* these days! :-( 

You can find an AWESOME tutorial for that favor box at SCS! Here's the link!

And here is what the inside Card Holder looks like...created from the SU! Two Tags Bigz Die! 

This was all kinds of fun to make and I'm going to be making more for all the gift cards I'll be giving out this year!!!

Wanna get a little Crazy and play along? Just post your Anything but A Card creation to your blog or on-line gallery and link it back to the C4C Blog so we can get a chance to have a peek!!!
