I haven't played along with Shopping Out Stash in forever but their current challenge is UFOs - UnFinished Objects. There is a perpetual pile of odds and ends on my desk so this forced me to dig in and try and make use of some of it. This shiny, stacked congrats diecut has been sitting there for awhile along with an open package of tags from Fancy Pants. I thought the colorful tags would make a fun background for the sentiment. Further digging led me to this twine bow and with the addition of some foam tape and black stripes I had a card in no time!

Jolly Kitty
Hello!
I got some more crafty time today and have a card for Freshly Made Sketches. I think this Fancy Pants patterned paper is my favourite Christmas paper of all time. I simultaneously love and hate to use it because I don't want it to run out. However I thought it would be perfect for this sketch so I cut into it. I popped a Santa hat on this MFT kitty and set him up peeking over a Taylored Expressions sentiment. (Have you guys tried their Simple Strips sentiment sets? They're awesome!!!). Funky trees and a cute kitty - what more could you want from a Christmas card?
Supplies Used:
Cardstock: (White) Papertrey Ink, (Basic Black) Stampin' Up
Patterned Paper: (Happy Holidays 8x8) Fancy Pants
Stamps: (Cat from Cool Cat, Hat from Beast Friends) My Favourite Things, (Sentiment from Simple Strips Christmas) Taylored Expressions
Inks: (VersaFine Onyx Black, Memento Tuxedo Black) Tsukineko
Markers: Copic
Other: (Nuvo Red Berry Crystal Drops) Tonic

Cats & Sweaters
Well, I survived my first day back at work and already my time off seems like a distant memory... It was good to see the cats again though and I'm pleased that they didn't forget me. In fact I think they missed me judging by the presents they delivered to me...
Anyway I have two cards to share today. First is for the Just Add Ink Just Choose Two challenge. I chose Pets and Patterned Paper and used this NBUS cat die from Frantic Stamper. She's such a sassy sight isn't she? And can I get a big Yaaaaaasssss! for accidentally lining up the polka dot in her eye? Love when that stuff happens! I liked this card so much I also made it in other colours.
Supplies Used:
Cardstock: (White) Papertrey Ink, (Textured White) Bazzill, (Rose Red, Bermuda Bay, Basic Grey, Basic Black) Stampin' Up
Patterned Paper: (Farm Girl 8x8) October Afternoon
Stamps: (Sentiment from Cool Cat) My Favourite Things
Inks: (VersaMark) Tsukineko
Embossing Powder: (Opaque Bright White Super Fine) Wow
Dies: (Art Deco Cat) Frantic Stamper, (Balloon) Lil' Inker Designs, (Stitched Rectangle) Mama Elephant, (In the Meadow) Papertrey Ink
Twine: The Twinery
Gems: Recollections
Next is a card for the Addicted to Stamps and More Holiday challenge. I stamped this Essentials by Ellen sweater onto some old Fancy Pants paper, trimmed them out and popped them up on squares cut from the same paper pack. Aside from the fussy cutting, a pretty simple card and I love the sentiment!
Supplies Used:
Cardstock: (White) Papertrey Ink
Patterned Paper: (Happy Holidays 8x8) Fancy Pants
Stamps: (Sweater & sentiment from Tis the Season) Essentials by Ellen
Inks: (VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko

Merry Trees
Hello! I'm back today with another Christmas card. Usually by the time Christmas comes and goes I want a long break from holiday cards but for now the ideas are flowing so I'm going with it.
I started this card by using the layout from Freshly Made Sketches. I then took inspiration from the colours and the trees over at The Heart Desires challenge. I paired up Reverse Confetti tree and sentiment dies with these fun Fancy Pants papers that I've been hoarding for far too long. I framed the trees with a cool dotted square die from Lil' Inker Designs. The middle tree is popped up on foam tape and the Merry is covered with a nice thick coat of Glossy Accents. Love it!
Supplies Used:
Cardstock: (White) Papertrey Ink, (Basic Black) Stampin' Up
Patterned Papers: (Happy Holiday 8x8) Fancy Pants
Stamps: (Christmas from Winter Words Coordinates) Reverse Confetti
Inks: (VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko
Dies: (Trees, Merry) Reverse Confetti, (Dotted Square) Lil' Inker Designs
Gems: Recollections
Other: (Glossy Accents) Ranger

Butterflies & Gators
The kitchen is looking gorgeous and we painted the living room today - yes, I was allowed to help this time! I love the new paint colours although it makes me want to redo everything else too. Crossing fingers for lottery win...
I've got two more cards to share that I made yesterday. First up is a card inspired by Michele's gorgeous card over at Muse. How virtuous I felt using a piece of patterned paper - especially one from a 12x12 paper pack! :) I let that beautiful paper do most of the work and just added a layered butterfly die cut and a sentiment. Nice and easy.
Supplies Used:
Cardstock: (Regal Rose, Melon Mambo, Basic Black) Stampin' Up
Patterned Paper: (Sera Sera collection) K & Co.
Stamps: (Sentiment from More Stories) Avery Elle
Inks: (Delicata Golden Glitz) Tsukineko
Dies: (Butterfly) Papertrey Ink
Glitter: (Sunflower Yellow Ice) Queen & Co
My second card marks the first time I've used any Reverse Confetti products. This adorable alligator is what finally put me over the edge and forced me to place an order. :) I used the design at Freshly Made Sketches and paper pieced the 'gator and the cake with Fancy Pants papers.
Supplies Used:
Cardstock: (White) Papertrey Ink, (Melon Mambo, Basic Black) Stampin' Up
Cardstock: (White) Papertrey Ink, (Melon Mambo, Basic Black) Stampin' Up
Patterned Paper: (MEology 6x6) Fancy Pants
Stamps: (All from Later Alligator) Reverse Confetti

Festive Gifts

It felt so good to be back in the Craft Cave today after another unplanned break. Wednesday and Thursday I was in bed with a migraine. My own fault really as I had recently told someone I hadn't had a bad one in ages. And this was a bad one. I haven't had a headache free day since but at least they're minor enough that I can function. I even managed to spend half the day outside with Luis yesterday clearing more trees. Anyway today's card is for two challenges. I used the sketch from the Fusion challenge and the photo inspiration from Festive Friday. I was inspired by the gifts and the reds. I used some Fancy Pants paper to paper piece the Woodware gifts and added a Sweet Stamp Shop sentiment. And that's it for today! See you tomorrow!
