ATSM #474 - Any Occasion


My card for the latest Addicted to Stamps & More Challenge #474 Any Occasion is a redo of sorts.


Waaaaay back in 2015, I created a mixed media tag using this tree but never got around to using the tag so decided to make it into a card and send it out this year.  

I used a stencil to create a hill, stamped the deer, then popped the tree in front along with an embossed sentiment. 


I've listed the products used below. See the original tree tag post for full ingredients used in making the tree.
  • Memory Box Frosted Christmas Tree
  • Julie Hickey Designs Essentially Christmas #2
  • Taylored Expressions Simple Strips Christmas & Dies
  • Lawn Fawn Slimline Hillside Stencils
  • Distress Oxide Salvaged Patina

SOSS #251 - D for Diecut


Add a diecut or two or a hundred to your project and join us for the latest Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers Challenge #251 D for Diecut.


I found the striped paper diecut with a scalloped rectangle die in my stash so used it up after adding some stenciled dots and squares. I've been waiting until I had the perfect idea for this pair of siblings in the vintage photo from Tim Holtz.  

This is so true to what siblings would say to each other, at least in my family.  And look at that boy's face.  That was some comeback from his sis apparently. LOL.

ATCAS #254 - Bloom


At the latest Addicted to CAS Challenge #254 the code word is "bloom." I took the opportunity to use an AALL & Create set I didn't have a chance to use last year.  And by last year, I guess I mean 2022.  BUT, at least I'm using it!


I sponged Distress Oxide onto a card panel then stamped the image with Versafine Clair Nocturne.  I used an old gift card to add some extra horizontal and vertical lines.  A touch of gold in the sentiment and the center of the poinsettia adds just the glamorous pop I love.

Poinsettia Grunge


You know that thing where you start a card with an idea in your head but next thing you know it heads in a totally different direction.  Truth.

I grabbed the wrong brush for the background so it went from my envisioned salvaged patina to cobalt blue. Behold:  my Dr. Who inspired Christmas card. LOL.


I'm entering this in Stencil Fun December 2023, Beautiful Blossoms #12 Anything Goes with Optional Holiday Mood Board, The Dream Factory #12 Cobalt Blue.

ATSM #452 - Christmas


It's Christmas time at the Addicted to Stamps & More Challenge this fortnight. Like I need a reason to make a holiday card but any nudging helps!


My card changed a LOT from how it started in my head.  I sponged the base with Distress Oxide Salvaged Patina and Mowed Lawn over a letterpressed snowflake design but it just didn't work for me so I added a layer of Tim Holtz Idea-ology Christmas Collage Paper on top, securing it only on the back for an additional translucent effect.  

Of course, I ripped it accidentally while sponging a little Distress Oxide Vintage Photo on it (the tissue was a little damp) so I tore a few extra spots to make it seem intentional.


The Honey Bee diecuts are sponged with Distress Oxides except for the greenery which I used DO spray to color up quickly.  Everything got a spattering of water and Copic Opaque White.

I added some WOW! White Puff Twinkle embossing powder as well as glitter pen on the roof, soffit and branch.  I cut the Avery Elle Happy Tags Joy out of Doodlebug Lily White glitter cardstock which I popped on top of the heart which I colored with Copics (BG11, BG34). So pretty!

Simon Says Stamps - Super Sunflowers


This week I have made a MAJOR effort to clean up my craft desk which had gotten to a hoarder's level of clutter--no joke. It was to the point where my piles had piles and they had piles. UGH!  But, a few evenings of steady organizing and I can see my desk surface again.  Woo hoo!  

Clearing the space also meant I was able to dig into the last three month's of Simon Says Stamp Golden Ticket packages I had gotten.  I wish I were joking how long it'd taken me but life gets in the way of the best of us.



So last night I treated myself to a card for the heck of it based on a couple of challenges and inspired by my encounter with a sunflower and bee earlier in the day.

If you're a regular follower, you know I live in the Seattle area which is known for gray, rainy weather and for good reason. So when the sun comes out, I'm all about it. I particularly love when we have that sunny summer weather we also have so many flowers, so much color.  


I'm entering this in Simon Says Wednesday Summer, Paper Players #651 Tic Tac Toe (feminine/diecuts/yellow), and As You See It #304 Fill in the Blank (flowers).

SOSS #235 - S for Steampunk



This topic is one I love and dread at the same time. I LOVE steampunk but I don't have a lot of it since I tend toward the cute.  Not that steampunk can't be cute but sort of creepy cute. LOL.


Coloring up this seahorse took a fair amount of time, in part due to finding a rusty color combo I was satisfied with.  My Polychromos helped grunge it up more.  The background was cake compared to that.  Mmm, cake.
