Good morning!
I made a card yesterday for the Merry Monday challenge #118 blog (another Christmas card in the stash-yay!) and will also be submitting to the City Crafter Challenge Blog where Christmas in July is the theme.
I have a little stash of buttons, so selecting the button for my flower center was the most difficult decision in creating this card!
I have been organizing and tidying in the craft room, just 15 minutes a day, and came across a little pile of these Just Rite quilted circles that I had paper pieced. With my Memory Box stem, Straight Stalks, I decided to layer the small version onto the larger version for my flower stem and have the quilted circle as my flower. I added this ruby looking glass button with a teeny strand of silk ribbon threaded thru the center. Easy Peasy. This simple Christmas card style is not my usual fashion. I usually have layers and layers, but I do like how this came out. A sentiment from PTI is a good pairing for this homespun crafty card and I adhered with a little black stitching and left the front bits a little long for another little detail.
Thanks for taking a peek!
Have a great day!

This is for the City Crafter Challenge Blog with a nautical theme for week #214...this little baby boy overall set with sailboat on the bib from Impression Obsession was the only "nautical" item I could think of and locate to create with.
The image is stamped directly onto a teeny patterned paper and I coloured with Copics. The background card stock is a retired green from Stampin' Up and I ran it through an EF and then positioned over the white card base, secured and cut off the excess.
The sentiment is also from the same set and I added a few white sequins to finish it off.
That's a simple, simple baby card...
Thanks for taking a peek!

Happy turkey day!
The bird is in the oven, the side dishes are done and I had time to make a card!
It has been a while since I have been able to play and I am so happy to be posting something new. The City Crafter Challenge blog has a little "cuppa" challenge going on right now and here is what I came up with.
I am using some new goodies and others from my stash. The inspiration for this friends and caffeine card is totally from the new Cosmo Cricket Circa 1934 and I just LOVE it! I used various papers from the 6 X 6 paper pad and I even stamped my fancy mugs directly onto this delightful teensy print from the Circa pad. I love how small the print is and that it has all of the colours in the collection. The stamp is a Stampington & Company that I had in my stash. It is called "cup collection". The burlap is cut from a basmati rice bag and I am using the inside of it without any printing on it. I layered a beautiful Maya Road black on kraft precut doily and a red hand cut out and distressed the edges from the Cosmo paper pad. The sentiment is from the Just Rite Caffeine/borders set that I stamped in Memento Tux. black ink onto a PTI cs scrap and used a Labels die cut. The buttons are a hoarded T!m Holtz, a Jenni Bowlin and a beautiful black from U Italy with a funky texture. I like the way this turned out and will be making more in this same themed style for a few friends that live far away and we can't "have coffee" on a whim.
Thanks for taking a peek,
Chriss
