Just Us Girls Challenge #658 ~ Make a Matching Envelope...Joy (Pinkfresh Studio Holiday Elements Washi, Merry and Bright sentiments)

Hello,

Welcome to Just Us Girls Challenge #658, where our lovely Lisa invites us to *Make a Matching Envelope* for our card/project. So fun, right! 

Once again,  Karren Johnson joins us as our November guest designer; her card-and-envelope pairing is flutter-fabulous! 

For quite a while, I've been talking myself out of buying Pinkfresh Studio washi and matching dies (and stencils+stamps) but...not any more! Ohmystars! Way too much fun! My first purchase is Holiday Elements (die and washi only, so far); the images are gorgeous! And talk about a quick way to make a pretty card and, in this case, a matching envelope. The card's joy is Pinkfresh sentiment ephemera; the envelope's sentiment is from Erin Lee Creative. Background design from Pigment Craft Co.

I tell you, the washi is lovely...sooooo lovely! 

Looking forward to your cards + envelopes filling the gallery!

Thank you for dropping by!

HLS November 2022 Anything Goes with Dies Challenge...Gingerbread House (MCT)

Hello,

Welcome to Happy Little Stampers November 2022 Anything Goes with Dies Challenge.

How about some Christmas baking, paper style? Gingerbread house! I'm smitten with this set from MCT; in fact, I may well have an entire neighbourhood in the works! You can create tags, cards or ornaments from this collection...so much fun! And with a few colour changes, it can likely be used year-round...just sayin'! 

Looking forward to your dies taking the stage!

HLS Stencil Challenge ~ Anything Goes...Witching You a Happy Halloween Cauldron (TE Create in Quads Halloween)

Hello,

Welcome to Happy Little Stampers November 2022 Stencil Challenge, where Anything Goes is always the theme. Let your stencils be the star of the stage!

After receiving Taylored Expression's "Falling for You" triple mini slim stencil as part of the recent Crop and Create Delivered event, I *had* to have more! Today, I'm showcasing one of my cards using the Create-in-Quads Halloween stencil (yes, I know Halloween has passed, but I know of a challenge that invites Halloween cards/projects year round! Going for it whenever I can).. Soooo cool! The backgrounds are fabulous and the bonus: dies to cut out two of the images - a cat and a cauldron. Loads of possibilities! 

Sentiment is from MCT. 

Looking forward to seeing your stencil makes in the gallery.

NOTE: Honoured to be selected as a Top 3 Winner at Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge (Dec. 1, 2022)

Just Us Girls Challenge ##657 ~ Fence...Witching You A Happy Halloween

Hello,

It's been a cold, snowy week here in Alberta; winter has arrived! 

Welcome to Just Us Girls Challenge #657, where our lovely Bobby has selected *Fence* as this week's word inspiration.

We're delighted to welcome incredibly talented Karren Johnson as our November guest designer; guaranteed you'll *woof* her card!  

No fence dies in my collection, so I decided to improvise with a MCT bats rosette die and a strip of striped paper. A fancy fence for my Photoplay Monster Mash Halloween characters.  If I can 'fake' a fence, I'm sure you can too, if fences aren't part of your stash. 

Looking forward to seeing how *fence* inspires you!

Thank you for dropping by!

HLS Christmas Challenge November 2022 ~ Anything Goes (optional: Santa)...Ho Ho Ho (MCT products)

Hello,

Welcome to Happy Little Stampers November 2022 Christmas Challenge, where Anything Goes, with an optional twist which, this month, is Santa. I can't believe it's November already! I'm sure Santa and his elves are madly rushing about, getting things done for soon-to-be-here Christmas.

A big ol' Ho Ho Ho sentiment paired with cute Santa paper...I think I've covered the bases with the twist! 

Looking forward to seeing your Christmas cards/projects - with or without the twist - in the gallery.

Thank you for dropping by!

HLS Birthday Challenge November 2022 ~ Anything Goes...November Birthday (C & 9th Retro Petals Turnabout, All Year Long stamps and EC month die)

Hello,

Welcome to Happy Little Stampers November 2022 Birthday Challenge, where Anything Goes.

Apparently, I'm on a name-the-month birthday theme! My Concord & 9th Retro Petals turnabout was out for another card so I decided, why not make it two. I used some fall-ish colours for the petals and some matchy-matchy cardstock for the panel. Not sure why my die-cut November (Elizabeth Craft Designs) is blurry; perhaps because the cardstock is textured. Oh well...it's not blurry in real life *grin*

Looking forward to your birthday cards filling the gallery!

Color Hues Challenge #52 ~ Mustard and Turquoise...For You (C & 9th Retro Petals Turnabout and Tulip)

Hello,

And here we are...November 1st...and with it, a new challenge at Colour Hues. Our talented Hannelie invites us to use hues of Turquoise and Mustard as inspiration for the next two weeks. Such a pretty combination, with so many possibilities.

 We also have Arlene joining us as our Guest Designer. Welcome!  

Beautiful colour pairing but yes...I did find it challenging. Whenever that happens, however, it's usually easily resolved with one of my Concord & 9th turnabout stamps. This time, Retro Petals was the stamp of choice, paired with the accompanying stamps and a little C & 9th tulip. A couple of turquoise inks and one mustard (double stamped for the deeper colour) did the trick. The tag is from MCT.

Looking forward to seeing your Mustard and Turquoise makes!
