Let's see your New Years projects!
 
Since the New Year starts with a countdown, let's count the minutes it takes to complete your project.  If you can do it in 10 minutes or less, you can play at 10 Minute Craft Dash too!
 
 
This super simple card took me:
 
 
Whew, barely made it!  I had to use my Silhouette and had some issues cutting the numbers...all my fault, the Silhouette is fabulous. 
 
This challenge lasts for 2 weeks so you have gobs of time to play.  Link your clean and simple New Year themed project at the CAS-ual Fridays blog for a chance to win a prize from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps!  WOOT!

Christmas Gnome


 
It's been a long time since I inked up the cute little Gnomies stamp set from Sweet Stamp Shop...unfortunately it looks like it's no longer available to purchase.
 
Today's card is a CASE of a previous card I made--see it here.  I had it on my mind to re-do it as a Christmas card. I dressed up the gnome as Santa and added some snow at the bottom of the door.
 
I'm linking this card up for the current Simon Says Stamp challenge 'Let it Snow'.
 
Have a great day!
 
Pattern Paper : Bundled Up (Crate Paper) and Magical (Studio Calico)
Door shaped card is my own design and I'll try to link it up here soon.
Door knob/keyhole and wreath are from the Silhouette Store
Liquid Applique for the beard.
Felt is from My Favorte Things

Let it snow...

Another week has flown by too fast. But, hey, it's Friday and that makes me super happy.

The challenge this week is to use snowflakes or snow of some kind on your clean and simple project.
 
 

I chose to make a small bag which would be cute to hold a few baked goods.  I used the new Bundled Up paper from Crate Paper--love it! The large snowflake is from a Spellbinder's die set and I used some glitter embossing powder on it. If you are a local, you can see this project in person at Scrappin' in the City!
 
Check out what the rest of the design team made for this challenge here
 
I hope you are inspired to accept the challenge this week for a chance to win a prize from our fabulous sponsor!

CFC 122: Out on a limb

Click for more inspiration!
Happy Friday! 
 
This week you are challenged to create a clean and simple project that contains a tree or trees!  It's the perfect time of year to bust out your tree stamps.

 
I used my favorite Christmas Tree die (Papertrey Ink) to make this card.  I die cut the tree from copy paper and used it as a template to stamp the tree with my Hero Arts Stamp your Story stamp set I bought months ago and have never, ever used!  I can't remember the name of the stamp set but it's the one with the brushstrokes and paint splats.  I finished the card off with some snowflakes and sentiment from a Paper Smooches set.
 
 
Link up your project for a chance to win an awesome prize from Ellen Hutson!
