It was perfect for this scene. I love mushrooms right now. The mushrooms are from a die cut from Simon Says Stamp that I got at Christmas. I cut them from different pattern papers and then inked them with distress: scorched timber, salvaged patina and cracked pistachio. I used the various sizes and pop dotted a few. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The paper dolls and wings are Tim Holtz. So is the quote chip. The Falling Stars die cut from Sizzix/Tim Holtz fit perfectly in the frame. I used distress sprays and oxides for the sky and grass on watercolor paper and then cut out the stars. I used a sparkly paper from DCWV for the background. Then I painted the paint chip and used grit paste. I added moss-I love a project using moss! :)</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisrELB_myhqukPchmgyU8xz9iRdkbM5LsgA8XDyv8PDUI6cOpGxOsWqlQ3YhQoUitVpJVP73X1KinAWAVJw82FFGggBjdzPxaFzC9OyudrzLbIOD7NzdQ-kgz_6mxB-IoMhINH9yc4c_zpP1ZFYUQ0jpJfMu-YhJOz3kJqPsY-PgJXiDmKNh9hrjpz4SlT/s4898/stars2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4898" data-original-width="3347" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisrELB_myhqukPchmgyU8xz9iRdkbM5LsgA8XDyv8PDUI6cOpGxOsWqlQ3YhQoUitVpJVP73X1KinAWAVJw82FFGggBjdzPxaFzC9OyudrzLbIOD7NzdQ-kgz_6mxB-IoMhINH9yc4c_zpP1ZFYUQ0jpJfMu-YhJOz3kJqPsY-PgJXiDmKNh9hrjpz4SlT/s320/stars2.jpg" width="219" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I used a yellow and a pink paint marker on each set of fairy wings.

I didn't have the supplies they had so I adapted with what I had on hand. I am submitting this card into the <a href="https://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/mondaychallenge/?p=33826" target="_blank">Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Let it Snow.</a></p><p>Here's my card:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIm9j5uRSvKGh-VGyTAQVBlWZC_RoMtA5cz3I0BsvxQxb0qGT3BtqPPUB7utICLLcPK1eEXBXvmMuT4CWVjFppGkkPYddnDdASTT1uBq7Av6sN8AZZfnBEkMfohkmHslURq63zoak8LQIhPGyNYjXYRdHMPwryswBrALMNUfiqROynD-oSnP00XGEhCKC2/s3386/snow%20thanks%201.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3386" data-original-width="2539" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIm9j5uRSvKGh-VGyTAQVBlWZC_RoMtA5cz3I0BsvxQxb0qGT3BtqPPUB7utICLLcPK1eEXBXvmMuT4CWVjFppGkkPYddnDdASTT1uBq7Av6sN8AZZfnBEkMfohkmHslURq63zoak8LQIhPGyNYjXYRdHMPwryswBrALMNUfiqROynD-oSnP00XGEhCKC2/w300-h400/snow%20thanks%201.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I had light blue cardstock and I embossed it using a sizzix/Tim Holtz folder. I used Salvaged Patina and Tumbled Glass distress ink and then edged the outside with Salvaged Patina Oxide and a silver marker on the very edge. I also spritzed phantom mist distress mica on my background and some white paint flakes (as in the video).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The snowflakes are cut from holographic paper like in the video. What a fun idea! I had some cut from glitter cardstock but there is something fresh about the holographic paper. In this picture you can see the mica spray and paint splatters better. (The snowflake die cuts are Tim's, and one is from Taylored Expressions.)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I used Tim Holtz metallic droplets for the centers of the snowflakes.

The weather is nicer and leaves are turning. Pumpkins and Halloween decorations are everywhere! </p><p>Today I am happy to show you my pumpkin terrarium-where there is an awesome Halloween Party going on! I am linking this to <a href="https://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/mondaychallenge/?p=29469" target="_blank">Simon Says Stamp challenge</a> and that info is at the bottom of this post.</p>Here it is :) I bought the pumpkin terrarium from Oriental Trading. And I will be honest-I was scared at first LOL. I was afraid of having this cool pumpkin but not decorating it cool enough-silly I know. I got over myself LOL and once I started applying paint to the outside-it started to come together. <div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2TcX4ODOSTLOuwyAjJlSz6zChegfb4LZpzvnJlncrbad8-GmFhmOTssmUTtsdLCNPIV6sFe9yp7pA8W3tooXriGEvZqSmMrMTf0iHGBBxqFGN80ojF9MLRV8v32RRf9d3sTgkmy1SHi9s3nI6eOcYuys4ov5xfpkQx0YklO8UyLnZ4cHYda_3RD0_NQ/s3244/pumpkin%20%2001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3244" data-original-width="3017" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2TcX4ODOSTLOuwyAjJlSz6zChegfb4LZpzvnJlncrbad8-GmFhmOTssmUTtsdLCNPIV6sFe9yp7pA8W3tooXriGEvZqSmMrMTf0iHGBBxqFGN80ojF9MLRV8v32RRf9d3sTgkmy1SHi9s3nI6eOcYuys4ov5xfpkQx0YklO8UyLnZ4cHYda_3RD0_NQ/w373-h400/pumpkin%20%2001.jpg" width="373" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I love Tim Holtz. And I compartmentalized made the costume party dies one night. I made three of each since I had the papers out and I know there is another project I want to do with the trio. This little dracula has a silver glitter outfit on because he's at this party :) The skull and pumpkin in the middle are ideology and the gold witch hat is a charm from Prima I got last year.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I used purple reindeer moss and this brown moss to fill in the floor. There are a few of Tim rub-on's on the walls of the pumpkin. Now let's talk about tomb stones--I cut these from the sizzix halloween vault series 2021 out of black cardstock. I used the grave texture paste from last year. Then I painted on empty tomb distress crayon (like wow it looked good) and then some peeled paint over some of the textured places. I got that idea from watching one of Tami Bastiaans you tube videos. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpnYf2vdidk8-mzjuOUJ3PTMVPkZzBo3OuUdF5m5N_7w2vvQuDE6zLsbehILPZfGxsUTsWBvL8uhyudoSjElTI7ZkXxcEpNy2wADNhP0NAkeMDULzrrcThsV9gkV3EQ7MM03rsXaOYoringeuVnyX6byIAEfpLbiTRzSq8Jp0Fo9T_grcliMZa1xan8g/s4032/pumpkin%20%2002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpnYf2vdidk8-mzjuOUJ3PTMVPkZzBo3OuUdF5m5N_7w2vvQuDE6zLsbehILPZfGxsUTsWBvL8uhyudoSjElTI7ZkXxcEpNy2wADNhP0NAkeMDULzrrcThsV9gkV3EQ7MM03rsXaOYoringeuVnyX6byIAEfpLbiTRzSq8Jp0Fo9T_grcliMZa1xan8g/w300-h400/pumpkin%20%2002.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I used a couple of paper dolls and I sometimes like to assign stories to things LOL.

I drilled a little hole so the battery pack is on the back and then I hot glued the lights to the ceiling for the pumpkin. Also in the top right corner there is a ghost bottom. Also, I hot glued sewing thread and strung one of this year's ideology spiders.

And then I painted finnabair's sparks unicorn hair paint over it-and wow.

This week it's about Friendship. Be sure to check out the Design Team's project and maybe submit one of your own! :)</p><p>A first I didn't know what I was going to make. I am in Halloween mode-LOL. And I didn't know who I would make something for-my husband and sister get many things as it is. :) And I love all of my friends-but it hit me-I would make something for my friend that lives down the street. She makes life easier and definitely more fun.</p><p>I started off with an altoids tin. And I altered it using mostly Tim Holtz products and a little Finnabair. Funny side note--I don't eat altoids. A different friend of mine a long time ago gave me tins, and this is from her collection.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXsjjpB5amRJbKh3iXchlrPbaX_8M537CKFwLhDJnun8pnuk-6FYtJKhYOrpcYg8j7qMJlNvSKtMnCy-S9zQ0ajb3IKofivjmfF0MkKXHQsr5XUsZ7b2iMR1Lxf6JKF5Z7ZmOrvMke0hGn5qAYHDN0vLUo_xK3DDb5lmBMX3Hv2s_yK16VlkIBZ2q9wg/s2544/Friend%203.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1915" data-original-width="2544" height="301" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXsjjpB5amRJbKh3iXchlrPbaX_8M537CKFwLhDJnun8pnuk-6FYtJKhYOrpcYg8j7qMJlNvSKtMnCy-S9zQ0ajb3IKofivjmfF0MkKXHQsr5XUsZ7b2iMR1Lxf6JKF5Z7ZmOrvMke0hGn5qAYHDN0vLUo_xK3DDb5lmBMX3Hv2s_yK16VlkIBZ2q9wg/w400-h301/Friend%203.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Here is the front:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmlc5tX2vBigekfgZo3DVU7g6hu_L6wlQDSDYPv2xAjFrXczuhL7IsCSZRfwM9vgaEnI1CGeywa4jp0iIRTCSeiZSh8e-T98r3tgnVCH8lugJOZnPWwVtRUuxXcX5-Xk3PSrO9pxNMH-UqKnQ52UP-EXFuR0dAU59t1iGPMVG1u9lCryzai33gnIwKqQ/s3095/Friend%201.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3095" data-original-width="2395" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmlc5tX2vBigekfgZo3DVU7g6hu_L6wlQDSDYPv2xAjFrXczuhL7IsCSZRfwM9vgaEnI1CGeywa4jp0iIRTCSeiZSh8e-T98r3tgnVCH8lugJOZnPWwVtRUuxXcX5-Xk3PSrO9pxNMH-UqKnQ52UP-EXFuR0dAU59t1iGPMVG1u9lCryzai33gnIwKqQ/w310-h400/Friend%201.jpg" width="310" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">And when you open it...</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb-wpUnaPeNpTnrIhZA7DtwCIrTQaLrZ0o-eobTNAps2MohVKq5YUtX5H2Kj2kf6q9GNWZz9CyLBqCTPSCl9LJgY1_oHeaOpW7IbcIBY6rdbEJdWOh_k8BS2IjpE38oYXnxmNwWEQSN0oTlD-j3dxQSEN6LOgJrU6_cwK2v1Hymb76lsDSphhgx2lNeg/s3202/Friend%202.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3202" data-original-width="3017" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb-wpUnaPeNpTnrIhZA7DtwCIrTQaLrZ0o-eobTNAps2MohVKq5YUtX5H2Kj2kf6q9GNWZz9CyLBqCTPSCl9LJgY1_oHeaOpW7IbcIBY6rdbEJdWOh_k8BS2IjpE38oYXnxmNwWEQSN0oTlD-j3dxQSEN6LOgJrU6_cwK2v1Hymb76lsDSphhgx2lNeg/w378-h400/Friend%202.jpg" width="378" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So if you would like to see how I created this stay with me.

The lady I printed off from my silhouette software and bought from the Silhouette design store-clickchic is the designer. She is just printed on regular copy paper. I used a paint brush and water to tear the paper around her.

And because I am literal and cannot make a decision-I made a card for both cool and hot. :) </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6FXLg8_FBhqiS1PPL4OpGCkgs8JynWhxxEc3wlG94qM3-bIaXJnYdc_tKE6vnseEbDhrDMcp00rWV4Ro_e5fBaa9qys-UPSpY4zfoKu1_fiZZ4_0J4jphQLzplyBvSjrI8PPxseAR1lHfecAkntxu-bV_hqGzYma8gl3AB61NuhE4-fKBECzk2YHwfg/s1800/redblue1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1250" data-original-width="1800" height="278" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6FXLg8_FBhqiS1PPL4OpGCkgs8JynWhxxEc3wlG94qM3-bIaXJnYdc_tKE6vnseEbDhrDMcp00rWV4Ro_e5fBaa9qys-UPSpY4zfoKu1_fiZZ4_0J4jphQLzplyBvSjrI8PPxseAR1lHfecAkntxu-bV_hqGzYma8gl3AB61NuhE4-fKBECzk2YHwfg/w400-h278/redblue1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So for Christmas I received these Ranger tools that make textures in paste.

I know it's not mixed media paper so maybe a duh moment-however I have a lot of pattern paper, and I can either donate it or use it. Right now I'm trying to use it, and I like how it looks on this card. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So I sprayed the card and when dry the paper was bowed.

Also, I bent the brads because they were long which was good to go through the book but then they hung over. Thankfully, the "arms" were easy enough to bend.

The challenge is called <a href="http://frillyandfunkie.blogspot.com/2022/06/stencil-mania.html" target="_blank">Stencil Mania</a> and you are to use 3 stencils on a project. Funny story-I made a card (the post previous to this) using a stencil and a fun technique. I was all happy until I went back to make sure I had everything right-to find out that you need to use 3 stencils and not 1. LOLOL.

Gears, clocks, postage stamp, and an ornate metal piece. I used these paper (I guess) ball like things and painted them purple to anchor all of the pieces.

Like the camera girl got 4 pieces and then the pink clock 3 and the square stamp 2. This is how I layered them-and I used hot glue-between the craft foam layers and the gears, clocks, etc. The paper balls-I used glossy accents and a pin to move around the glue a little bit. For the smile piece I used zip dry because I find that it doesn't wrinkle paper. I love this glue for banners also :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7LlClgmEGuhuP4Xm7209ttcfTeswFK59s7tIbJXmYghkbAzeu6HUOTYzQv_chTdkNVp_i-6ZcXUeatzCV6hVc8lzC_KmGNAlxhzsGLIsuZzmnQsE-IziGhyxRTKk4TY2NW8CLZa83V1XbjjCuYdKQwrj9wtCrAfqPVKC-eZgZmyF_A0_Z7aJAdhoUOQ/s2000/Smile%20Canvas%209.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1500" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7LlClgmEGuhuP4Xm7209ttcfTeswFK59s7tIbJXmYghkbAzeu6HUOTYzQv_chTdkNVp_i-6ZcXUeatzCV6hVc8lzC_KmGNAlxhzsGLIsuZzmnQsE-IziGhyxRTKk4TY2NW8CLZa83V1XbjjCuYdKQwrj9wtCrAfqPVKC-eZgZmyF_A0_Z7aJAdhoUOQ/s320/Smile%20Canvas%209.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">And here is the finished piece again.

This is the first time I have had a project win overall winner. I am very honored. :)</p><p>The challenge <a href="http://frillyandfunkie.blogspot.com/2022/03/rather-blustery-day.html" target="_blank">"Rather Blustery Day"</a> is all about using supplies or techniques that you having a hard time using. I chose the Village Collection dies from Tim Holtz. I have made 2 houses and they are still floating around in my craft space. They are ok-I didn't like how they turned out.. And after I made those two houses-I haven't touched this die set again. Until now! I thought this is the perfect motivation to use this die set. So I set out to make a church. I was going to try to make a steeple. deep breath</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhqXzATFVO9bpd5QQK_5HMNKZPJrdOhDmFwcPddcmo778So7VsMiZ93jHig1qYI6R7wfDhKAwL1W-p2mtq-ueLK2uNaUrt62wdU985EQTB0edqMGi4Dlg__oF56NMmlQOeRapbup6Qn3h1tnT2JT-QXrPwIohYuxFEK6dZvpPCmVkTEbfjhJ5IY0fdtrw=s1800" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1350" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhqXzATFVO9bpd5QQK_5HMNKZPJrdOhDmFwcPddcmo778So7VsMiZ93jHig1qYI6R7wfDhKAwL1W-p2mtq-ueLK2uNaUrt62wdU985EQTB0edqMGi4Dlg__oF56NMmlQOeRapbup6Qn3h1tnT2JT-QXrPwIohYuxFEK6dZvpPCmVkTEbfjhJ5IY0fdtrw=w300-h400" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Here is my finished project.

I am really liking that look whether it is gold or silver. I feel like the marker outline helps make it look finished. The sentiment is an old one from Tim Holtz and I used a purple marker to make it pop. This is my favorite birthday sentiment.

I colored her coat with winterberry distress crayon. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhWOS1EBu9YYtFF-PZAZUmqR97EpVvpF7R8Jiv5pQ-wcKyUbRpWu-7I6xsWZa1T8tshtIuitpc1v7COY5DFb0kxOLW2_K5rkdf4BVfQJ5paz3w3Alc6zVY53btZb7OSt1BjNJ01Jvfs6RZ31xRTjKsjbkpHOyHDACzYeMdVGvtkNPu52jGB5h2JLQ4jTg=s2000" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1313" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhWOS1EBu9YYtFF-PZAZUmqR97EpVvpF7R8Jiv5pQ-wcKyUbRpWu-7I6xsWZa1T8tshtIuitpc1v7COY5DFb0kxOLW2_K5rkdf4BVfQJ5paz3w3Alc6zVY53btZb7OSt1BjNJ01Jvfs6RZ31xRTjKsjbkpHOyHDACzYeMdVGvtkNPu52jGB5h2JLQ4jTg=w263-h400" width="263" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Everything else I have had.

Christmas is on it's way and I know I am very excited about that!</p><p>This month for <a href="https://rainbowcardchallenge.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">the Rainbow Card Challenge</a> we are all about Festive Rainbow! And this is a grand finale if you will. This is our last challenge at the Rainbow Card Challenge. It makes my heart sad, too. Hey friend-"Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened" -Dr. Seuss. So true right! </p><p>We have had some good times and beautiful colors to be inspired by. Some were challenging colors like Sage and Mauve (for me). Thank you to everyone who has joined our challenges over the years. Big Hugs friends!</p><p>Now here's my card:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AAdzpDwbITs/YaaCoPp-2TI/AAAAAAABoaA/gMEwEw90mUo-MhTZ174Qw3GtlmUEZECqQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/Rainbow%2BChristmas%2BKaty%2B2021.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1589" data-original-width="2048" height="310" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AAdzpDwbITs/YaaCoPp-2TI/AAAAAAABoaA/gMEwEw90mUo-MhTZ174Qw3GtlmUEZECqQCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h310/Rainbow%2BChristmas%2BKaty%2B2021.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Rainbow Christmas is a challenge for me too-LOL. I am so programmed with red and green. But I love how this card came out. The background is funky and there is a lot of Time Holtz. Tim inks and villianous potion distress with his smaller snowflake stencil are in the background. I used glitter white cardstock for the snowy ground. The buildings are from the silhouette design store. Santa is from Die-Versions. The sentiment is a sequin. And the little trees, deer, wreath, and snowman are Sizzix Tim Holtz.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The deer is from tiny snowglobes. The snowman and wreath are from Christmas minis. Now let me tell you about the wreath. It is actually the inside piece to the wreath you cut out. And the bow is trimmed along the "strings" that hang down and the bow part itself. And then I used a whole punch to make it into a wreath. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RYVIhn5Y5EY/YaaBRjWxZqI/AAAAAAABoZ4/bziAGIGMc6c0v55E00d4Y28xv5vS5tItACLcBGAsYHQ/s450/festive%2Brainbow.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="450" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RYVIhn5Y5EY/YaaBRjWxZqI/AAAAAAABoZ4/bziAGIGMc6c0v55E00d4Y28xv5vS5tItACLcBGAsYHQ/s320/festive%2Brainbow.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Make sure you stop by <a href="https://rainbowcardchallenge.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">the Rainbow Card Challenge</a> to see all of the beautiful inspiration there and to say good bye. :) </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I am on instagram if you would like to follow me there :) just look for iliketocutandpaste</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Until next time my friends have a wonderful holiday! </div><br /><p><br /></p>Katyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15648953260480175588noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4442769658949244304.post-62611503782497045602021-11-30T23:01:00.004-05:002021-11-30T23:01:36.434-05:00Shaker Christmas Tag<p> Hello Friends!</p><p>I did not manage my time well, and I am entering this tag at the <a href="http://frillyandfunkie.blogspot.com/2021/11/challenge-tag-it.html" target="_blank">Funkie Junkie Boutique Blog</a> at the very last minute! LOL It was like one minute I was lounging around eating turkey and today it's like it's Christmas time--GO! LOL. </p><p>So here is my tag for their challenge <a href="http://frillyandfunkie.blogspot.com/2021/11/challenge-tag-it.html" target="_blank">Tag it.</a></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-C2-grxDKcUE/YabyZTyK0XI/AAAAAAABof0/bz0wfW8Tq107o2pqNMGXiH7yOupL4g6PwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2500/Tag%2B1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2500" data-original-width="951" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-C2-grxDKcUE/YabyZTyK0XI/AAAAAAABof0/bz0wfW8Tq107o2pqNMGXiH7yOupL4g6PwCLcBGAsYHQ/w153-h400/Tag%2B1.jpg" width="153" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Here are some details: I used Christmas minis-the gingerbread man and the circle die. That is a sizzix dome and I put Ranger mica flakes in there for a little shakety shake. I used an impresslet and cut the circle using the circle die from the Chirstmas minis and it all fit perfectly. I used foil cardstock for the red circle decoration. I used gold foil cardstock (both Tim Holtz-I love that paper!) for the for you which is a sizzix die from a tag die cut set. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The green ribbon is from the dollar tree. And the paper is from Paper Pizzazz and is a bit old LOl. And I used a stampin up stamp circa 2004 for the to and from.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Thank you for stopping by! </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0XKnHz5I-9I/YabyZUCKQZI/AAAAAAABof4/i3fDJxfnZosz2m5biz-mx1APmUmgdZThwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/Tag%2B2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1366" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0XKnHz5I-9I/YabyZUCKQZI/AAAAAAABof4/i3fDJxfnZosz2m5biz-mx1APmUmgdZThwCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/Tag%2B2.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Rw6R5vbyYc8/YabyZKSPv5I/AAAAAAABofw/TuOlTAbERgMXyjis15wv02hV_1iMq37igCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/Tag%2B3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Rw6R5vbyYc8/YabyZKSPv5I/AAAAAAABofw/TuOlTAbERgMXyjis15wv02hV_1iMq37igCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/Tag%2B3.jpg" width="188" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Katyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15648953260480175588noreply@blogger.com1
