Christmas Cats

 

 December: Waffle Flower

The Theme is Christmas/Winter

We made this theme just for you and all the card makers getting those last cards ready for the season.  The Die Cut Divas are certainly ready!

The prize is a $15 code to go shopping at Waffle Flower.

Here is my project- 

And a bonus card!

 I just adopted a rescue!    

 His name is Buddy, (a Yorkie mix (?) and 13 years old). Rescue organizations always need money, so I'm on a mission to create cards to sell at local adoption events. These cards will go to that purpose. It isn't much, but hopefully what I create will help. I plan to make birthday, pet sympathy, holiday, and new pet cards. Here is a list of materials I used-

Elf Cat 

1. Waffle Flower Dies: Be a Cat, Be Christmas Accessories dies.
2. All paper is from my scrap stash.
3. My Favorite Things frame (Perfect Frame-Vertical).  

Santa Cat

1.  Waffle Flower Dies: Be a Cat, Be Christmas Accessories dies.
2. Candy Cane from Parcel & Post Christmas Decorations.
3.  Cricut cut Ho Ho Ho.
4. All paper is from my scrap stash.

Magic Iris Snow Globe

 

 November: Sponsor: Lawn Fawn, $25 gift card to their store.

We know we had critters earlier this year, but everyone loves critters, so it's all about critters again. Lawn Fawn has so many cute critters, we couldn't resist!

Here is my project-

  

 I really like the critter stamps & interactive dies from Lawn Fawn! I've used the two sets pictured here a lot. That snow globe is made out of an "oops" -foiling-gone-wrong panel. I just ink blended some Distress Oxides over it, and voila! A pretty snow globe. Here is the material list-

1. Lawn Fawn Dies: Magic Iris, Magic Iris Snow Globe. 
2. Lawn Fawn Stamps: Furry & Bright. 
3. Distress Oxide Inks: Blueprint Sketch, Wilted Violet.
4. Paper: stash (unknown).

Fortune Teller Tabby

 November: Sponsor: Lawn Fawn, $25 gift card to their store.

We know we had critters earlier this year, but everyone loves critters, so it's all about critters again. Lawn Fawn has so many cute critters, we couldn't resist!

Here is my project-

                    

I really use my Lawn Fawn Reveal Wheel a lot. It's simple to make, and the different cards you can design is endless!

1. Lawn Fawn Dies & Stamps: Fortune Teller Tabby stamp & die, Reveal Wheel, Reveal Wheel Circle Add on, Keep on Swimming Stamp & die set (large cat), Say What? Pets.
2. Copic markers.
3. Dies: wood floor (Penny Black).
4. Inked panels with Distress Oxide.

 A while back, I inked about 24 backgrounds, and I've used up all but 1 or 2 now. The bottom panel is Twisted Citron, Peacock Feathers and Blueprint Sketch. The panel I used for the reveal wheel has the Blueprint Sketch and Mowed Lawn (It had Squeezed Lemonade on the bottom, but the wood floor covered it up.) I really like those panels on this card!

I love these layered florals from Brass & Bliss! This is the Fragrant Blooms stamp & die set, which is now retired. They do have others, shown here. For a little more interest, I used Simon Says Detail Bohemian Plate for the background. Pretty simple!

Here is my project-

 

 Sometimes, I will cut multiple card bases with my edger dies. I grabbed this one out of my stash and created this card. I carefully colored the loop edge with a Copic. I also wanted the diamond die cut at an angle for something a little different.

 

Here is a materials list-

1. Dies: Diamond die (Brass & Bliss, retired),  Lovely Loop Edger Die (Frantic Stamper).
2. Stamp, Stencil, Die set: Friends Forever (Brass & Bliss-retired, but you can check out the gorgeous florals here.)

If you've never visited Birch Press Design, you should. I have found some unique designs that you won't find elsewhere.  

Our sponsor will be giving away a $20 gift card to the winner of our challenge.  *Note: Challenge winner must have US address.

 Here is my card-

 I used three Birch Press items to make this card! The background is the Pinpoint Radial Plate (retired), the Dazzler Layer set (retired), and the Thanks Sugar Script die. I went looking on the internet for the retired dies, and they can be found.

 I was messing around with the layers of the Dazzler die, and liked this configuration. I also remembered why I don't like glitter cardstock (it sheds, and it's hard to glue anything to it!). The papers are from my stash, but the black glossy cardstock is from Tonic Studios.

 Here is my card-

 

 Really, a pretty simple card. I used Birch Press Herbarium (retired, but available at a multitude of stores) to cut the top three layers (Light green, gold, med.green card stock), and added a rusty red underneath. I used the same rusty red as the shadow for the gold mirror card stock sentiment, Birch Press Merry Christmas Sugar Script (But these would work as well!). Trying to photograph this card was difficult due to the different golds, darn it. But, I think it turned out really well.
