RHSSC - Gift Tag Card

It's Sunday again so you know what that means...time for another card for the Red Hot Stampers' sketch challenge.  Yes, I'm using pretty much the same colors again for the third post in a row.  That's because I decided to use scraps and leftovers again which means my mess hadn't been cleaned up for a couple of days.  Very unusual because I'm pretty much a neat freak when it comes to my stamping.  Yup, I make a project, clean it up, make another project, clean it up...I think you get the picture. :)

We have something special going on in December... If you play along every week in December you'll receive a bonus gift!  

Here are the details:

Red Hot Christmas Party

Well it's been one of those weeks for me...stressful!  I'm sure no one else has ever had a week like that. lol  As I'm writing this I can feel myself starting to relax a little because I know my busy week is almost done.  Whew...I survived!  I've enjoyed each thing I've done, but I think I need to slow down just a little.  Now on to today's cards.  Last night was our Red Hots' Christmas party and it's always a lot of fun!  We had great food, lots of laughs, games and of course gifts.  And this year we decided on a $5 gift exchange for our gifts.  All I can say is I am not a shopper so I decided to give a box of chocolates and make a few cards.  My last post shows a card that I made using gold snowflakes.  Well after cutting out the large snowflakes I could not throw away my scraps like I usually do because the glimmer paper is so pretty and I felt wasteful if I did.  So I set them aside then starting thinking that maybe I could use them somehow on a few cards for my gift and these are the cards I came up with...

I also decided to enter these into the Hand Stamped Sentiments challenge since it's a monochromatic challenge and these seem perfect for it.  Plus I've been lacking in the challenge department this week!  

Of course I had to have a box to store them in too. :)

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Celebrate Today

Today's card is for one of my December stamp a stacks.  Notice it doesn't say Merry Christmas or Season's Greetings, etc.  Some of the ladies just want winter cards that can still be used for birthdays, thanks yous or a thinking of you type of card.  I made one for a birthday and another for a thank you.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Christmas Ornaments

Today I'm actually posting something other than a card.  This week on the Friday Mashup their challenge is to make a project with a Christmas ornament, or make a project with some sparkle...or mash it up and create a Christmas project with some sparkle.  Since I just finished about ninety Christmas cards, I'm about Christmas carded out so I decided to make some ornaments instead.  I started with the Snow Flurry Bigz Die and got a little carried away with the Crystal Effects and Dazzling Diamonds Glitter.  There were actually really easy to make.  Just takes a little drying time.  I tried a few different things with some of the ornaments stamps from the Ornament Keepsakes bundle too...

RHSSC - Thank You

Good morning...it's time to see my take the this week's Red Hot Stampers' sketch challenge.  I finally broke into my Snow Flurry Bigz Die to use for this sketch.  I did change it up a bit because I didn't want to cover up any part of the snow flake, so I put the words underneath it. :)  Don't forget to check out what the other Red Hot Stampers made using this sketch.  Check them out here.  And if you're really motivated why not give the sketch a try. :)

Thanks for looking and have a great day!
