Happy Hanukkah

Hi, Friends......

My dear next-door neighbor is Jewish....(a rarity around here!)...and so I always try to make him a Hanukkah card.  Fortunately for me, Hanukkah lasts all week so I have several days to remember about it and several days to procrastinate and still get the card done before the Festival is complete!!  lol....  But although the card was on time...I am just finally getting this posted today!

I found these super-pretty Hanukkah napkins at a thrift store sometime back and decoupaged one of them onto cardstock for the card.  (You can see my other recent foray into napkin decoupage HERE.)

Men don't generally have time for fussy and fancy things, so I kept this card very, very simple and let the napkin do the work.  I accented the candle flames with some Sakura Souffle gel pens that really glow against dark backgrounds. 

I just love the rough crinkly texture of my imperfect decoupage technique!!  lol...

I did some stamp surgery on a holiday stamp and mixed the sentiment with "Bright" from a different company.  Good thing I used my MISTI (on my second attempt, that is....lol) because it wouldn't stamp right.  Turns out the thickness of the two companies' clear stamps is different!!  The thicker "Bright" word was preventing the nearby parts of the other words from contacting the paper!  I had not ever had that happen before....live and learn, I guess.  :)

Here's the inside view:

 

Supplies used include:
Napkin from thrift store package
Mod Podge - Matte Finish
Simon Says Stamp - Big Holiday Wishes stamp set [retired]
Memory Box - Making Spirits Bright stamp set [retired]
A Creative Journey with Melissa - Fall and Winter Holiday Sentiments stamp set
Versafine Ink in Majestic Blue
Distress Ink in Hickory Smoke
Core'dinations cardstock
Sakura Gelly Roll Souffle Gel Pens

Hope you liked this light-filled card. I really love how it turned out. Thank you for stopping by. Hope you are getting all ready for your holiday festivities!!!

Hi, Friends......

Taking time out from the Coffee Hop to post a Christmas card in non-traditional colors.  I realize that not EVERYWHERE gets snow at Christmas so maybe this scene looks a little more like home to some of you.  :) 

I was inspired by the Winnie & Walter November Color Challenge.  Look at this beautiful color palette that Heather chose for us this time:





I knew I wanted to try making a blended sky with those gorgeous colors and heat embossed some W&W silhouettes to go with it.  LOVE!!!!

Supplies used include:
Winnie & Walter - Our Town stamp set
Winnie & Walter - Comfort + Joy stamp set
Winnie & Walter - Essentials: Katharine Cutaways die set
Distress Inks in Seedless Preserves, Mermaid Lagoon, Spiced Marigold, Rusty Hinge, and Black Soot
Versafine Ink in Onyx Black
Clear embossing powder
Core'dinations - heavy duty white cardstock

Hope you like this non-traditional Christmas card! It's fun to do something different sometimes. Thank you for stopping by and leaving your sweet comments. They mean so much to me!!!

Coffee Lovers Hop - Let it Snow!

Hi, Friends......

Here I am with another card for the 2018 Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Hop.

Quite some time ago (I just checked...it was FOUR years ago!!) my crafty pal and coffee enthusiast, D.Ann at D.Ann's Crafting Whims, sent me a coffee prize that included some super-fun "Cafe Presse" napkins. I always wanted to decoupage one onto cardstock to use as a card background and I finally did it....4 years later!!! (I am so ashamed!)
 

I am following the MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge #414 today.  The simple design is perfect for my card.






I didn't want to put too much over the fun coffee press background image, so I tucked doilies around the edge and placed a simple heat-embossed sentiment strip with lace across the panel.  A few snowflakes add to the wintery feel.  I love the crinkly texture of the delicate napkin paper decoupaged onto the card!!

Supplies used include:
Cafe Press napkin panel
Mod Podge - Matte Finish
Core'dinations cardstock
Unity - "Let it Snow" from One of a Kind Winter
Versafine ink in Majestic Blue
Clear embossing powder
Doodlebug - Mini Doilies
Snowflake sequins from stash
Lace ribbon from stash

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you enjoyed seeing my card. It's not a very Christmasy winter image, but this will be made into a Christmas card with the inside sentiments. It's cold and clear today here in Idaho...so winter is on my mind. We don't have very much snow left at the moment, but it is sure crunchy outside!! Stay warm, everyone!!

Warm Holiday Wishes - Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

Hi, Friends.......

I am here with another card for the 2018 Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Hop.  

I was inspired by a couple of other challenges, also:
 

1. Time Out Challenges #123
The theme this time is Black + White + One Other Color.  They also have an optional twist of making a One-Layer Card....which I did!!  YAY!!!  lol....



2. Winnie & Walter Rerun  No. 36 In Bloom - Frenchy's Festive Florals
I don't own the Rerun set, but I do have a similar build-a-bloom set from W&W which I used.  I drew inspiration from Gayatri's beautiful red and white card with the lovely stamped holiday floral elements HERE.

Here's my card......

I stamped the sentiment on the mug itself and thought myself so very clever to have the curvy "wishes" word above the swirly decoration on the mug. Hahaha.....I wasn't clever at all......it just worked out that way!!! Where was I going to put it otherwise??? The sentiment wouldn't work with the words in any other order!! LOL... (Just seeing if you all are awake out there!!)

Products used include:
Unity - Java Friend
Winnie & Walter - In Bloom: Hollie's Festive Florals stamp set
Winnie & Walter - Sentimental: Gift stamp set
Versafine Inks in Onyx Black and Satin Red
Core'dinations 110# White Cardstock

Making one layer cards and stamping borders are both definitely out of my comfort zone, but it was a lot of fun making this card. A little scary, too, but fun.....just like challenges are supposed to be, right?

I hope you are enjoying the Coffee Lovers Hop. I don't always take the opportunity to participate in it, but this time I was inspired. Thanks for stopping by!!

I am here with a card for the 2018 Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Hop today.

The stamped image is BIG and is placed appropriately on a LARGE format card!!  Ha.

Memento Ink in Rich Cocoa
Mixed Media Paper
Spectrum Noir markers

Thanksgiving Card

Hi, Friends......

It's the last day of November so I better get my Thanksgiving cards up on my blog!  I used a sketch I saw somewhere that looked like it would use a bunch of scraps since I LOVE a collage look of the rich colors and patterns of autumn.  I stamped with an old Hero Arts Acorns stamp I found at a thrift store and colored it with Distress Markers.

I made a half dozen of these in different patterns.  Here's a group photo:

Supplies used:
Hero Arts-Acorns E1133
Versafine ink in Vintage Sepia
Distress Markers
My Favorite Things Die-namics - Stitched Square STAX die set
DCWV scraps of patterned paper and cardstock

Operation Christmas Child Shoebox Cards

Hi, Friends......

I am here with my final 2018 entry into Scrappy Mo's Rudolph Days November Challenge.  It's the last one of the year and I have managed to enter each month this year...and so I am eligible for the extra drawing in December!  YAY!!!

Our church participates in the Operation Christmas Child Shoebox Program.  My pastor's wife asked me if I could make some simple cards to include in each box.  I made a whole pile (around 60 or so) of these super-easy cards by cutting and folding patterned cardstock and die-cutting either NOEL or JOY for the fronts.  Inside I stamped "Jesus is the Reason for the Season" and a Nativity scene.  The participants from our church wrote personal notes of Christmas greetings inside each one. 

I meant to get a shot of all of the cards spread out over a table but I forgot!!  lol...  You can see one of the shoeboxes and some of the stack of cards in a basket with some of the participants writing notes in this photo:

There were a variety of patterns and colors, but here's a sampling of three of the cards:

Supplies used include:
Winnie & Walter - In a Word: Joy Cutaway die
Winnie & Walter - In a Word: Noel Cutaway die DCWV patterned, solid, and glitter cardstock

Thank you for stopping by today.  I haven't been on here much because of Thanksgiving and also we have been busy getting ready for our Christmas Bell Choir and Valley Singers concerts.  It's all fun.....but haven't been able to do much crafting.  Hope your holiday season is lovely!!!

Jetta says, "Please admire my one white whisker!"  ❤

Hi, Friends and Cat Lovers!!!

Meee-WOWOW!!! What a fabulous Hop we had this year!!! I must apologize for being so late in getting this Winners Post made. My internet has been having problems since a week ago last Saturday.....just as the Hop was coming to a close! I am so glad it didn't affect putting up my daily posts, but it sure did cramp my style on visiting all the great projects and running the winners with Random.org!! Arrrrgh!!

A big thank you to each of you who participated in the 2018 Cat Lovers Hop!! YOU are the Cat Lovers Hop!!! We had a lot of first-timers this year.....I am beyond thrilled you joined in with us.

Everyone else has been with us for at least 2 hops now. I absolutely LOVE that you have made the Cat Lovers Hop your own and enthusiastically participate with your fabulous projects and comments.

A humongous thank you goes to each of our awesome sponsors!! I am so humbled and grateful for their generous support. Not only have they donated lovely prizes, but they also have given words of encouragement to me behind the scenes. They are a big reason why our Cat Lovers Hop keeps growing each year!! This year the Hop dovetailed with several challenges from our sponsors that I tried to call your attention to in my Daily Posts. Did you like that additional bonus of having other challenges to enter your projects in, too?

Well, I have a LOT of winners to announce so I better get to it. After all, that's why you are even looking at this post, right? I know it would be for me!! :) I wish soooooooo much I had prizes for each and every one of you, but help me congratulate all these lucky winners!!
