HIMCR Challenge #159: Christmas in July

Hello friends!

Yes this week over at Hiding in My Craftroom is another Christmas in July themed challenge! 

The sponsor for this week however is:

This week I decided to make a tag, instead of a card.

 I used the Hot Cocoa image from Digi Digi Doodle to create this fun tag. My end goal is to make one of those Hot Cocoa gift bundles and then put this tag on it. I thought it would be very fitting!

HIMCR Challenge # 158: Christmas in July & Blog Hop

Hello friends! 

So in addition to our weekly challenge, this week we are also doing a blog hop! Woo hoo! 

Our challenge over at Hiding in My Craftroom this week is - Christmas in July! So you just need to create a project that is Christmas themed or any other Holiday that you celebrate in December. 

The sponsor this week is Hiding in My Craftroom:

 

The prize is TBA!

Here is what I came up with for the challenge!

I bought this stamp from Micheal's and I just love how jolly Santa looks! I thought he would look perfect on a gate fold card! The papers are from Gina K. although I do not remember from what collection. The image was colored with my handy dandy Spectrum Noirs. Although it is hard to see in the picture, Santa's beard was done with white flocking powder just to give it that extra special little touch. :) I'm definitely getting a jump on my Christmas cards this year, which hopefully means I will not be cramming a bunch of them in the first weeks of December!

HIMCR Challenge # 157: SSS

Hello crafting friends!

 It's Saturday which means it's time for another challenge over at Hiding in My Craft Room! 

This weeks challenge is Super Scraps Saturday, which means it's time to bust out those scraps and let your creativity run wild! :)

The sponsor this week is:

 

Here is the card I created using their image:

 

It's never to early to start making Christmas cards right? I always seem to run behind when it comes to that time of year, so I thought I would get a huge jump start on it!

All of these items were scraps, the white paper, the red paper, the green paper, the ribbon, and the card candies. I used gold embossing powder to emboss the sentiment.

HIMCR Challenge # 156: Think Summer!

Well I don't know about y'all but here in Texas, it sure has gotten hot quick, fast and in a hurry! It seems like it went from Winter to Summer and we did not get much of a spring. Since it is Saturday it's time for another challenge over at Hiding in My Craftroom! The challenge is to think summer! That means create a project with summer colors.

The sponsor is:

. 

The prize is a $12 gift certificate to Sami Stamps!

To me, summer colors are red, yellow, and orange. Kind of like the sun! So here is what I came up with using their image titled "Bird on my Toes"

 I am just so pleased with how this card came out! I paper pieced the girls hat and pants. I used my Spectrum Noir's to color in the image. The sentiment is computer generated and the inside says "...that it's your birthday!" I thought it was fitting with the little birds in the image! :)
