Hello everyone so sorry for such a long absence from the last post. Unfortunately health issues of a family member has and will continue to require long absences between posts. I will however attempt to post as frequently as I can. 

So this past May I participated in a Christmas Stampathon challenge where I was to make 4 Christmas Z-Fold cards. I made each of my z-fold cards different. I used the Snow Wonder, Freezin' Fun, and the Quite Curvy stamps sets from Stampin' Up. I also used Stampin' Up's Tis the Season, Snowflake Splendor, and Brightly Gleaming designer series paper. 

This month's Christmas Stampathon's challenge was to make 4 KISS (Keep It Simple) projects. There is to be no frills just stamps, inks, and cardstock. So I made 2 cards using the Let it Snow stamps set and 2 cards using the snowflake wishes stamp set all on white and blueberry bushel cardstock. I used just jade, night of navy, memento black, gorgeous grape, cherry cobbler, shaded spruce, and pixie pink inks.

Until next time!

 Hello good morning and Happy Monday April 26th. Just popping on to share my 4 cards that I made during the Ladies Retreat on Saturday April 24th. I participated in a crafting day through Stampin4fun. Had so much fun crafting with Genevieve Ko and the other ladies. Such a good stress free day of crafting. I managed to make these 4 beauties.

 Hello everyone, sorry for my long absence. Thank you for all your concerns and kind words. Unfortunately my family health issue has not got any better and may not for quite some time. I however have been doing some paper crafting and other various projects during my absence that I will post here soon. I hope to be able to start posting photos of all my projects in various stages of completion as I have been bouncing from project to project.

Thanks to one of my sister I have been doing diamond painting. On Friday April 23 I began doing this picture of 2 dwarfs. It is so colourful and bright and puts me in a happy mood. Hope to do more and will post as I go.

and on Tuesday April 20th I managed to do this diamond painting of a Christmas Cat. I however changed the cat's hat from green to red using leftover red diamond pieces. Good stress free crafting!

 

 Hello;

Just wanted to express my apologies to you all that are expecting posts from me everyday. I am sorry and that due to unfortunate circumstances I will be taking the next couple of weeks off from crafting. I wish everyone well and until later! 

 

 So the challenge for this week is to make 25 Christmas tags and a holder. The tags would be made focusing on something from Stampin' Up's A Merry Hello, Freezin Fun, Snow Wonder, Elphie, and Wrapped in Christmas stamp sets. Each tag is to be different from each other. You can make the tags however big/small, elaborate/simple, or shape you want. Can use any paper, embellishments, etc... as long as the item from the stamp set is the focal point.  Reveal day will be Friday March 5th. Have fun!

 So for today I made another Christmas card. I used  a 6 x 4 3/4 white card base, layered it with a red and white dotted paper measuring 4 1/2 x 5 3/4. I then layered it with a blue watercolor card backing from Stampin' Up's Watercolor Christmas project kit. I stamped snowflakes and trees on the paper with black memento ink. I then stamped the sentiment and snowman from the Snow Wonder stamp set onto white cardstock and die cut them out. I colored the snowman with red/green stampin' blends popped it up onto the card base using dimensionals. I finished the card by popping the sentiment up onto red glitter paper (3 x 1 1/4), and then glued in to the card.
