Shopping Our Stash - Happy Holidays - Retro Snowman

 Hello, Crafty Peeps!

Finally finished creating Christmas Cards for my favorite 

Sister-In-Law.  This perfect timing for our final challenge of the year at Shopping Our Stash!

I don't know why I like this little snowman so much.  Maybe, just maybe, it is because he looks so retro.  

HAPPY CRAFTING!!

Stuff I Used

A Place To Start Challenge- Happy Holidays: Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanza,etc.

Hello, Crafty Peeps!

I had every intention of including a tutorial for this K-Cup Holder/Tote.  Lisa Rojas, over at Bella Crafts, live-streamed a similar project last Wednesday but that required purchasing an SVG file.  I wanted to make a few modifications, I am really trying to stick to my craft diet, and I really enjoy building my projects from scratch, so I tweaked it a little for my needs.  I plan to make another one with a slight modification so I will have to include the tutorial with that project!  Chanukah is an eight-day celebration, so I have seven more projects to complete.  I should be able to work a tutorial in there somewhere! 

HAPPY CHANUKAH!

I planned to use a Chanukiah as my focal, but this large Gelt combined with the banner has more visual appeal.

I wanted a more finished look for the handles, so used silver die-cuts for the exterior and white card for the interior.

I asked "The Hubster" to save all of his empty spice jars.

These two were the "Spice Island®" brand which has a beige and brown top.  I covered the caps with Gesso and then applied two coats of Inka~Gold™Silver wax and then buffed to a shine.

The jar on the left holds Chanukah Candles.  The Jar on the right holds Chanukah Gelt.  I may add labels to the bottles.

I just love My 3D Dreidel!

Shopping Our Stash #408 - Here Comes Suzy Snowflake

Hello, Crafty Folks!

Welcome to another fun challenge at Shopping Our Stash!

The theme this fortnight is Here Comes Suzy Snowflake!

I have had these snowflakes hanging around since last year and this challenge is the perfect opportunity to finally use them.  I planned an entirely different project but computer issues forced me to make something simple.  I do, however, love my embedded snowflakes!

I have not purchased crafting supplies in almost a year now, well, actually it has been nine (9) months.   From now on, every project I create will be "shopped from my stash!" I have been tempted, but I would rather have a new floor and new furniture in my studio!

My Snowflake card was created using this tutorial:  

Embedded Snowflakes - Handcrafted by Helen

Hugz!

I usually don't do Christmas challenges, but I found a new (to me) challenge "Christmas Kickstart" that I thought would be fun for my friends who do celebrate Christmas.   I did not create this card specifically for their challenge...but I think Dotty Jo will let me slide this time!  Check them out!
