Any Holiday Challenge at HIMCR - Challenge 227

Hello crafting friends.  I hope you are all having a great holiday weekend! 

Our challenge for you this week, at Hiding in My Craft Room, is Any Holiday.

Since Thanksgiving is over, maybe it's time to start catching up on those last minute Christmas cards? 

 

Our Sponsor this week is 2 Cute Ink

Prize ~ 2 digital images

When I saw this little cutie, I knew right away that he was going to look just right amidst a winter scene, and since I'm short on tags, I decided to turn this project into one.

Tag and tree were cut using the Cricut Explore.

All card stock, papers and ribbons are from my scraps drawer, so I have no info on them.  I used a wave crimper for the snow. The little birds are dies from Impression Obsession. The little green sprig is a punch from MS.  I coloured the guy with copic markers. I stamped the  "To" and "From" at the back to finish it off. 

You have till 2:00 am on Saturday, 5 December 2015 to link your creation to our challenge.  Take a few minutes and visit the Hiding in My Craft Room blog to see all the lovely creations my DT sisters made for your inspiration.   Also, don't forget to visit our wonderful sponsor, 2CuteInk ,for some fun and adorable images.

It's Super Scraps Saturday at Hiding in My Craft Room this week :-) Time to get out those scraps and make a new creation to join in the fun with us! :-)

I made a side step card  (silhouette design # 39773) using images from a digi set called Sweet Nativity.  I love the way this card came out.  I coloured all the images digitally and then went  over them with my copic markers to add some shading here and there.

Chocolate Pie Garden at HIMCR

 Happy Saturday everyone!  I hope your weekend is going well!

Our challenge for you this week at Hiding in My Craft Room is Chocolate Pie Garden.  Yes, it is a colour challenge and here is a pic of the colours for you to use, Chocolate Chip, Pumpkin Pie, and Green Garden.

 These are StampinUp! colours.  Not to worry, if you don't have any of the StampinUp! materials!  You can use what you have that is close to these colours. All you have to do to play along with us is create a project using these colours and link it to our challenge #224 before the closing date.

Our Sponsor this week is Di's Digi Stamps.

The prize is a $12 Gift Certificate

Here is the project I made to share with you this week.

I used a SVG cutting file from Pretty Papers, Pretty Ribbons to cut this Thanksgiving favour box. Isn't this such a cute pumpkin box? The card stock is from my stash and all I can tell you is that is has a beautiful soft shine to it, but is a total bear to photograph! Anyway, after a dozen pics or more, I finally chose these two as the best.  I really, really need to investigate into an online photography class!  I added a little bit of Easter grass and placed the chocolates inside.  I think they are going to look great on our Thanksgiving table.

You have till 2:00 am on Saturday, 14 November 2015 to link your creation to our challenge.  Take a few minutes and visit the Hiding in My Craft Room blog to see all the lovely creations my DT sisters made for your inspiration. Thank you for stopping by today and taking a peek at my card!

Our Sponsor this week is My Besties.

Prize ~ The 5 images that were used by the DT.

Since I got to use this very cute image of this precious little girl and her froggie, I thought I would make a card for Valentine's Day.  Talk about working ahead! :-)

Favourite Cutting Machine Challenge

 Happy Saturday everyone, I hope your weekend is going well!

Our challenge for you this week at Hiding in My Craft Room is to make a project using your favourite cutting machine!  This includes dies as you still have to use a cutting machine to press the die through :-)

Our sponsors this week are:

Hiding in My Craft Room

Prize ~ Space Party Cricut Cartridge

AND

Di's Digi Stamps

The prize ~ $12 Gift Certificate to Di's Digi Stamps

So for this challenge, I thought I would show you how I decorated my favourite cutting machines.  Yup, that's right I have two favourites, my Cricut Explore and my Silhouette.  Actually, I have 3 favourites, as I also love my Cuttlebug. It cuts all my dies perfectly :-) But back to my electronic cutters.  I used vinyl to make the decorations and as you can see I kept them pretty simple.  In case you're wondering, the reason I haven't decorated my Cricut Expression is because I'm thinking of selling it.  I haven't used it since I got the Explore almost a year ago.

So, now, it's your turn to make a project using your favourite cutting machine and join us in the fun.  This challenge, #221,  runs till 2:00 am on Saturday, 24 October 2015.  Take a few minutes and visit the Hiding in My Craft Room blog to see all the lovely creations my DT sisters made for your inspiration. Thank you for stopping by today and taking a peek at what I'm creating!

I made this card using one of Sami Stamps' images called Frosty Stars Snowman.

Monochromatic Challenge at HIMCR

 Hello crafting friends, and welcome back to my blog.

Our challenge this week at Hiding in My Craft Room is Monochromatic!  While I was making my card, I thought this would be a challenge indeed.  I've been making cards for 6 years and I have never done a card in a monochromatic colour scheme!

Our wonderful sponsor this week is Graciellie Designs

The prize ~ 1 Digital Set

I used one of the beautiful doilies from the Doily Flowers Digital Stamp set by Graciellie Designs to make this Sympathy card. You can't see it properly from the pic (I had the darnest time photographing this card), but the doily is a light shade of lilac.

Card stocks are all from my scraps drawer.  The butterfly is a die cut made with the Viviene Butterfly die from Memory Box.  I added some pearls and a  ribbon to finish the card. I also went over the butterfly with a clear Wink of Stella pen to give it a slight shine.

I hope you enjoyed looking at my card. Now, it's your turn to make a monochromatic card and join in the fun with us.  This challenge, #219,  runs till 2:00 am on Saturday, 10 October 2015.  Take a few minutes and visit the Hiding in My Craft Room blog to see all the lovely creations my teamies made for your inspiration. Can't wait to see all your wonderful creations!

I'm going to share this card at the lovely Becca's blog to support the end of Domestic Violence, at

God Bless
