After Christmas is Before Christmas - Little Red Wagon

The theme at Little Red Wagon this week . . . After Christmas is Before Christmas.  And you have to keep working on those Christmas cards to be prepared after you empty your stash each December.

Here is one of first Christmas cards of 2020 . . .

For this one I used a super intricate die that came with my Gemini.  

Just red and kraft cardstock. 

I hope you find some time to create!

House Mouse . . . Food and Drink Inspired

The current challenge at House Mouse & Friends is all about food and drink.

What says food for a House Mouse more than cheese!!!!  Cheese, glorious cheese.

 Gouda . . . and a strip of vellum for my sentiment. And it is just floating above my colored image. 

I love trying to find the perfect sentiment to go with my House Mouse stamps.

I hope you find some time to create today.

Shopping Our Stash - Special Delivery

I love the concept of "Shopping Our Stash" . . . using supplies that we have on hand.  I dug thru my stash of supplies to create a holiday card, and really dug deep for this one.  I had a box of supplies from an old Simon Says Stamp Card Kit, lots of pattern paper left.  Created a simple card using one of the panel pieces. 

Used the border with the cars and trees that matched up well to the panel with Santa and his presents and tree . . . 

There is one less box in my craft room.  Barely noticeable, so I should likely come back and play some more.  

Cheers . . . go create!  

 

House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge

First holiday card of 2020, and of course I would choose to use some of my favorite products, including some House Mouse stamps.  This one was inspired by the House Mouse & Friends Monthly Challenge.

My watercolor background was created using one of my favorite stencils from Catherine Pooler Designs.  

I love the little candy canes that circle the mug. 

I hope you find some time to create today.
