For my card today I used a Great Impressions truck stamp for my focal image. The stamp actually has a fishing pole on it but I just cut that piece off because the recipient of this card has a truck like the stamp and in blue. I stamped the truck with Hero Arts black ink onto Ranger's watercolor paper. I colored it in with a water pen and distress markers and cut it out. I adhered it to two Spellbinders die cuts made from scraps of paper I had lying around. The background paper on the card base is dry embossed with a Cuttlebug embossing folder. The white cardstock in my card is by Recollections. The sentiment stamp is a Gina Marie stamp that comes from the All Seasons Stamp Set and is stamped in Hero Arts black ink.

Thanks for looking.

Shaped Christmas Card at the challenge blog Christmas cards All Year Round

There's a new challenge this month at Christmas Cards all Year Round that I hope you will join in and play. The challenge is shape cards other than square or rectangle.

I made this Christmas card using a Sizzix die cut by doubling up the cardstock and leaving a bit over the creased edge. It makes a beautiful top folding card. Then I die cut the red cardstock by Stampin Up and also the blue patterned paper from Simon Says Stamp. The snowman stamp by Paper Smooches is white heat embossed with Versa Mark ink and myStamp Box powder and then paper pieced together. The red patterned paper is by Scenic Route {very old indeed} and the black and also the white cardstock used in the card are both by Recollections. The sentiment stamp is by Hero Arts and is stamped with red Stampin Up ink. The foam sparkly snowflake thingies are from Hobby Lobby.

Thanks for looking.

Do you wanna build a snowman?

Today is the first day of the Sassy Studio Designs Facebook challenge. It's pretty cool because they give you the image for free and all you have to do is make something with that image before Dec 26th and upload it to the FB album. Here are the prizes:

1st Place- Will recieve a $10.00 gift card and also gets to be guest designer for the month. Which entitles them to more free images and new release images for that month.

2nd Place- $10.00 gift card.

3rd Place- $5.00 gift card

This month the free image is Olaf and he also comes with a sentiment that is super cute but I didn't use it for this card. I printed him out onto Cryogen cardstock and lightly colored him with Copic markers. I decided to fussy cut him out leaving a little border around the edge of the. I dug out some old DCWV patterned paper that I just had a few pieces to work with. I adhered the background paper to a white Recollections card front and then matted the second piece of patterned paper onto blue cardstock also by DCWV. 

The snowflake is foamy in dimension and part of a huge bucket of shapes for the winter season that I bought my niece from Hobby Lobby. The rick rack, though hard to see because it is the same color as the background paper is by My Mind's Eye. The sentiment is a word die by Stampin Up, which is cardstock from an old Hallmark invitation that I will never use. It came from my Mother In Laws cards and things that I just went through and organized for her. I covered the die cut with a clear Wink of Stella pen. It does sparkle in real life. THANKS FOR LOOKING.

So I hope you will join us on the Sassy Studio Designs Facebook page for some free images and the chance to win great prizes. It is a closed group that you send a request to join and someone gets to it within 24 hours. Then you send a request for the images via email. I tell you all this so you will jump over there and get the goods before Dec 26th rolls around. HERE is a list of the rules for this challenge. Good Luck
