myasperations 12-22-25

   I created this card, featuring an adorable image from Sweet November Stamps (SNS), for the December challenge at SNS FB page, and the current Snowman and/or Santa Challenge at Double D’s. The beautiful background is a freebie from Dis Digi FB page, and the inside sentiment is a freebie from Sassy’s LLC (see my supplies list for details). Lastly, the beautiful silver sentiment brads from Oriental Trading Company have been in my stash for several decades.


Supplies: 

·   Digi image- Sweet November Stamps (Party Snowman)

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·   Dis Digi FB Freebie- Snowy Sky, Dec 6 2024 (After joining Di’s FB page HERE, access the freebie HERE)

·   Silver metal sentiment brads-Oriental Trading Company (no longer available)

·   Inside Sentiment- a freebie from YouTube@Sassy’s LLC (learn more Here)

·   Nuvo Glitter drops add sparkle to the snowman’s body and fur on his hat!

     I received this Simple Treat Box file at the Card Maker Success Summit, which I attended in March. I wanted to create a gift box for the current Wednesday Challenge at Simon Says (SS), so I printed this box, colored the images, cut, scored, and folded it, and voilà- a lovely gift box! (I didn’t see any limitations on the reason for a gift wrap/box, etc. entered into the SS challenge, so hope an Easter-themed item is okay. If that isn’t allowed, please remove my card from the prize draw!)
Supplies

·   Front Sentiment from a Eureka Stamps (Currently not available)
·   Sookwang double-sided tape- Available from several sources on the web.
·   All other misc. items and tools from my stash.

The group regularly offers wonderful freebies plus sets of affordable digis for members via a Kofi shop. (See details in Supplies list below.) The patterned papers come from a 6x6 paper pad that is currently on sale at Michaels Crafts!
