Treehouse Stamps

Treehouse Stamps is having a HUGE sale while they celebrate their 2nd birthday!! Check it out. I have a few goodies on their way to me I can't wait to play. Also today they released a great new set that is the cutest.

Treehouse Stamps Challenge Thursday

This week the Treehouse Stamps challenge is to Case Cathleen Torina's gallery. She has an amazing gallery and out of all the beauties this is the one I picked to case: Ho, Ho, Ho.

I really like the layout on this card so for mine I decided to use the layout as my sketch, took the red color and the holiday theme. OK, so I'm not 100% sure of the "official" casing rules so I hope I didn't break any.


Here is what I came up with:

This adorable bear is a Snag 'em stamp by Imaginisce and can be found in the Treehouse Shop. I colored him with Copics. I used my scallop nesties and a star punch for the shapes. My background is the lovely snowflake embossing folder for the Cuttlebug. I don't know who my pattern paper is by sorry.

Well that's it for now!

Till later....

Treehouse Thursday Challenge

I hope everyone had a fabulous Thanksgiving!

This week the Treehouse Stamps weekly challenge is a color challenge of Christmas colors: Old Olive, Real Red, White, and Black. I pulled out my Wisemen Still Seek Him set to make a Christmas card.

This card is actually 4 1/4 x 4 1/2, I had this cardstock ready to go and never used it. I thought why not, doesn't always have to be "standard" does it?

Here is what I came up with:

Looking for a fun Christmas challenge head on over to the Treehouse blog and link your creations for this challenge. There is also currently a big sale going on if you are looking to add to your collection, check it out HERE. I just ordered another Christmas set and a Cupcake one, can't wait!

That's it for now! If you are going shopping tomorrow good luck!

Treehouse Treat Holder Challenge

Have you seen the fun weekly challenges Treehouse Stamps has? Every Thursday on their blog here. I decided to pull out one of my Treehouse Stamp sets to participate this week. I used a sentiment from Sweets for the Sweet set. The challenge was to make a treat holder using a template. I made this treat holder from template instructions a friend gave me a while ago.

Here is mine:

Isn't this a cute hostess gift or party favor for a holiday? My solid paper is by Gina K and my flower by Prima. Sorry folks I can't find the source for the pattern paper. Inside I stuck little Christmas cookies.

Be sure to head on over and check out the cool challenges they have! And if you like sales check out the store because there are some awesome stuff on sale!

Thanks for stopping by.

SCS Sketch Challenge - AGAIN

I know I used this sketch alot this week but I really love it! The other night Treehouse Stamps had a release party in their yahoo forum and it was fun chatting with the girls. I used this sketch for the challenge that night.

I used pattern papers from a 7 Gypsies pack. I colored the butterflies with a prisma color marker and added Burgundy Stickles.

This is a quick one today. Off I go to work on challenges while the kids sleep.

Thanks for stopping by!

Our Creative Corner Challenge - Father's Day

Of course I had last minute Father's Day cards to make. I had this great image by Treehouse Stamps and thought it would work well with the sketch challenge at the new challenge blog Our Creative Corner. (my first card here and last card are based on that challenge) I did move the circle part of the sketch and I sure hope that Cindy does not mind, but it worked better for me this way :-) This card is for my husband from my son. Awhile ago I made a card that would be for my DH from my daughter I had in on this post here. But here is the photo again. It was for a challenge at Beate's blog that week.

This morning I made one more card for my father in law for Father's Day as well. I have a hard time with masculine cards but I think because I don't have stamps that would work.

Hopefully some of my new Unity Stamps will take care of that a bit. I'll be stalking the postman this week for my new goodies.



That's it for now.
