Loving Vintage Christmas.....

I am so happy to have you stopping by for a visit today. 

I hope if you celebrate Thanksgiving that you have had a wonderful 

holiday weekend and if not, I hope you have enjoyed your plans for this 

weekend. I have!

Love seeing all of my family and enjoying sharing memories,

food and time together.

I have been a collector of antique Santas in many forms for lots of

years and this is one of my very favorite Santa stamps.

This week at Sugar Creek Hollow we are celebrating Vintage Christmas! 

How fun..... 

Please create a card or project in vintage/shabby chic style and you

will be in the running for a digi of our choice and the 

project selected as our Top Pick will have a chance

to be chosen as our Guest Designer.

I embossed my background and stamped on a handmade sticker

that I picked up at Walmart last year to add my sentiment.

Now off to enjoy the rest of my holiday.....thanks for taking the time

to stop by for a visit. I am still having problems with

my wrist and am trying to get around for a visit.

Sugar Creek Hollow goes Kraft!

This week at Sugar Creek Hollow   we are celebrating Kraft! 

Simply create something in vintage/shabby chic style using Kraft.

I created another Christmas card using Papertrey Ink's set

"In the Meadow" along with the dies that match.

I used the snow dies to cut my corrugated Kraft card

stock. Stamping one tree and the snow on Ivory card stock, I added two trees die 

cut and stamped along with a die cut rabbit, don't you love it?

The snowflakes are from Spellbinders, I glittered two of those and added one in

chocolate. The sentiment is from the same set.

Here is a close up.

For the inside, I added more of the snowflakes and Kraft card stock.

Autumn Easel Card

both of these today.

With the Thanksgiving holiday fast approaching I wanted

to share this card that I created using Doodle Pantry's image from

Laurie's set Autumn Star which was released last month,

It comes with outline (which I used) and pre colored images

as well as sentiments and digital papers.

Colored with Tim Holtz distress inks and markers, die cuts from 

Spellbinders Harvest Tag set and the 

gorgeous papers from Creative Imaginations

paper pad Orchard Harvest, this card

was so easy to put together.

One for the Guys....

What a fun challenge we have for you this week

at Sugar Creek Hollow ! 

We are creating a card in a vintage/shabby chic style as always 

but this time for the special guys in our lives.

I am finally using some of the beautiful Farmhouse Papers

and chipboard and sticker elements that 

I picked up at the CKC show this past summer.

For the inside I stamped a sentiment and a couple of other images

from Stampin' Up "Travel Post" and "All Holidays".

I hope you will stop by the Sugar Creek Hollow blog and take

a look at all of the inspiring masculine cards by the team.

Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit with me!

Card Details:

Paper: Rubber Cottage navy textured, Farm House Papers "Fair Skies", Stampin' Up barely banana

Ink: Night of Navy (Stampin' Up)

Other: Fair Skies chipboard and stickers, Grosgrain ribbon, 

Spellbinders scalloped rectangle die

Cream/Navy/Yellow....

Happy Saturday and welcome to a fun challenge this week at Sugar Creek Hollow where we are challenging you to use cream and two colors of your choice.

I decided to use navy blue and yellow with my cream since these papers from Glitz, Vintage Blue are some of my very favorite. 

I thought they worked just perfectly with the "Shabby Chic Labels Four" from 

Justrite that I used. After coloring with my Spectrum Noir markers and sponging with distress

inks I layered the die cuts over another die cut of the toile paper 

and the layers of papers that I cut with my border dies. I used both the 

negative and positive parts of the border and alternated to create my background.

The ladies have some beautiful cards to inspire you this week so be sure to stop by at

Sugar Creek Hollow for a look around.

Card Details:

Paper: Stampin' Up very vanilla, Glitz Vintage Blue

Ink: Spectrum Noir, Tim Holtz distress inks, SU Night of Navy

Other:Stamps Justrite  Shabby Chic labels four

It's Release Day at Doodle Pantry

Happy November 1st....and that means that that it is time for this month's new release

at Doodle Pantry where you are going to love this month's new sets!

I have had the pleasure to work with Poinsettia  which includes outline as well

as color images, digital papers and sentiments. What a value!!!

My first card is a little on the rustic side, I used some burlap ribbon with the sentiment and love

this plaid paper with the crumb cake card stock.

My second card is my creation using an idea that I saw somewhere last year

where someone suggested using the pre made photo cards available

during the holiday season to create a fast and simple card.

I found a couple of boxes of these cards on clearance after

Christmas. I am afraid after cutting all of the foliage, my ornaments and hand

cutting the ornament tops, it wasn't very fast, lol!

The poinsettia background was perfect with this set. The card

has a couple of pieces of tape (and I added a bit more) which I used

to attach the gold metallic die cut.

I used Spellbinder circle dies and a Stampin' Up scalloped punch

to create my ornaments along with a ornament topper stamped and hand

cut from a Justrite set. I die cut several pieces from Spellbinders

Foliage die set to create my pine topper.

I love the way they printed the inside sentiment which enables the card to be turned 

vertically or horizontally. I hope to give this a try soon on

some of my cards.

Our challenge at the Doodle Pantry Blog begins today at Noon, don't miss it!
