Supplies: Whiff of Joy stamp; Daisy & Dandelion sentiment stamp; MME paper; Stampin' Up! eyelet punch; brown chalk ink; pearls, snowflake punch

1 Card, 5 Challenges

So today I sat down to do some stamping.  On a Saturday I always look through the challenges and see what's around.  There are just so many challenge blogs out there I see what can be combined.  So this card is for fivechallenges, I could have entered into at least eight!  But I thought I would save that for a few more cards.  So, the five challenges are:-

1.  Sketch & Stash Challenge - Sketch
2.  Papertake Weekly - Christmas Crackers
3.  Whiff of Joy - Christmas
4.  Cute Card Thursday - Boys card
5.  A Spoon Full of Sugar - Brown plus blue or pink

I used a stamp from the Whiff of Joy winter kit that I hadn't inked up together with those lovely MME papers again.

Supplies: Whiff of Joy Stamp, Daisy & Dandelion Sentiment Stamp; MME papers; Snowflake punches; gems; brown chalk ink, Stampin' Up! eyelet punch

Whiff of Joy Challenge #56

Here's the third card I made yesterday.  This time I used a fabulous sketch over at Whiff of Joy Challenge.  Although there were a lot of layers, I really enjoyed working with this sketch and love the result.  I used another of the stamps from the winter kit that I hadn't yet inked up and once again used those lovely MME papers.  I am really pleased with all the cards I have made using these papers, glad I have tons of it left!

Used some more lovely MME papers and my WoJ Henry the Mouse which I have well and truly fallen in love with.

Mojo Monday #108

I had a great day today.  My friend, Lyndsey came to craft.  I made four cards and was very pleased with myself as we tend to do more talking than anything else!  Again they were all Christmas cards, so sorry I'm going to bore you with those over the next few days.

This is for Mojo Monday.  I slightly altered the sketch to fit my card but you can see the basis of the sketch.  I used my WoJ santa again and also those lovely MME papers.

Supplies:

Image - Whiff of Joy

Papers - MME

Tools - Cuttlebug Snowflake Die and Snowflake Punches

Other - Snowflake brad, gems and Pearls from stash

Thanks for looking!

4 in 1 Card

I've outdone my self on yesterday, I managed to get 4 challenges for this card!!  I used my other new santa WoJ stamp and more of those MME papers - yummy!  I used fluffy stuff for Santa's suit.  I was so pleased with this card when it was finished.

The first is the sketch from Stamp with Fun.  Second was Creative Card Crew which was scalloped - I used a scallop punch to create a border.  Third was for Whiff of Joy Challenge  which was to use die cuts and I used a Cuttlebug snowflake die.  Last but not least was for My Time to Craft which was quick and cute - Well I think this santa is super cute!

Supplies:

3 in 1 Card

I managed to get 3 challenges out of this card!  I really like this one. I used another new WoJ stamp.  I just love the santa stamps.  I only just got a couple of them but I think I need a couple more!!  I used some new MME papers, yes I finally broke and bought some papers!!

Firstly I used the sketch from A Spoonful of Sugar. Another great sketch.  The second is for Cupcake Craft Challenges which was buttons and stitching.  So I only used one button so I hope this is okay but I did go overboard with the faux stictching!  The last one is for Crafty Angels which was buttons and bling.  Again I hope it was okay that there is only one button but I used a lot of bling in the middle of the snowflakes.

I have Monday off next week, we have gone on a four day week for a couple of months so I'm hoping to have a little craft time!
