Repeat Impressions Stamp of the Week

The stamp of the week this week at Repeat Impressions is this cute Santa Cat stamp, and it is available this week only for 50% off with the discount code found at Repeat Impressions blog. What a deal! Please visit the blog for all the details and to see the other Rock Star's cards using this stamp.

For my card, I stamped the Christmas kitty on a light brown paper and cut her out. I paper pieced the Santa hat in red and white and attached her to a white card. The red piece was raised with pop dots after I cut a semi-circle out with a nestie.  I added a perfect sentiment from Repeat Impressions and a little bakers twine to complete the card.

I am entering this card in the Christmas Friends challenge at One Stop Crafts.

Celebrate the Occasion and Ladybug Crafts Challenges

Christmas is the theme at Celebrate the Occasion and Ladybug Crafts this week, and at Celebrate the Occasion they also want to see colors other than Red and Green. I used a couple digital freebies to make this card and I just love it. The winter silhouette scene was from a series of gorgeous Christmas silhouettes by Paulo Viveiros and the sentiment is from Desert Diva. I added a couple punched out snowflakes with some pearls and the result is a CAS but lovely Christmas card.

Simon Says Stamp and Creative Moments Challenges

The challenge this week at Simon Says Stamp is Snowflakes and Anything Goes at Creative Moments. I am sharing a card I made with the Triple Time Stamping that is so popular on Pinterest and blogs everywhere. I used a stamp set of different snowflakes in black and added one pop of purple Joy to the card. The rhinestones on some of the snowflakes were the final touch.

Cuttlebug Spot and Ladybug Crafts Ink Challenges

Season's Greetings is the theme this week at The Cuttlebug Spot and Sparkalicious is what  Ladybug Crafts TLT wants to see. I created another origami tree with some green dp and added a line of glitter along the bottom edge of each layer of the tree. It really sparkles in real life:) The star is also sparkly as it was punched out of glittery paper. Both were attached to a white card front embossed with a no-name embossing folder. The sentiment is from Penny Black and is what I wish for you!

DCC Challenge at Repeat Impressions

It’s another Designer’s Choice Challenge at The House that Stamps Built, Repeat Impression’s blog. It’s Patti’s turn and she chose to challenge the Rock Stars and you to make a tag or bag. Then you can enter it for a chance to win some awesome Repeat Impressions rubber! Please visit the blog for all the details and to see the other Rock Star's cards for this DCC challenge. 

For my tag, I started with the Ornament Frame which I placed at the top of a folded piece of white cardstock and cut out so the tag opens at the top. I stamped Repeat Impression’s Peace, Love, Harmony stamp in very light blue across the ornament tag. Then I punched a hole and added a curled ribbon bow.

I am entering this gift tag in the tags challenges at Joan’s Gardens and  CASual Fridays.

Scrapping Memories Holiday Card

It’s another Scrapping Memories Tuesday here and I am happy to share another fun card featuring digital stamps from Scrapping Memories. But first I am announcing the winner of the blog candy drawing from the comments made on my last Scrapping Memories blog post.

The winner of 5 digital files (cutting or digital stamps) is                  Deonna! And her winning comment was: “Would love to win the Great Scrapping Memories prize. Thank you so much for the chance and Happy Thanksgiving!”

Deonna - please contact me at khasheck at gmail dot com and I will put you in touch with Scrapping Memories to claim your prize!

My card today features a sweet digital stamp called Christmas Wreath Calvin. Isn’t he cute? I started with a red card and a kraft piece that I embossed with a holly branch embossing folder from Tim Holtz. The “joy” stamp is from Printworks and is my favorite. I added a snowflake (Martha Stewart) and pearl, then popped up Calvin in his wreath.

I am entering this card in the Christmas for Boys challenge at One Stop Crafts.

I have decided to stop the blog candy contest every other week for Scrapping Memories. But I will continue to share cards made with their awesome and oh so reasonable digital stamps and my kids at SAS4Kids will continue to receive those  cards. Thanks to Scrapping Memories for all the great stamps and fun blog candy prizes given.
