WMS Forum August Christmas Challenge - Are You Listening?

Well stampers, it's the 10th of the month - and that means that Lynn has posted the Christmas Card Theme for August in the Playroom of the Waltzingmouse Forum!!

And that theme is to be inspired by a favorite Christmas/holiday song!   Well -  I have SO many favorites - that I decided to go with a song that I had a stamp for!

The sentiment and snow flakes are from Compliments of the Season.  The window frame is from Twas the Night Before Christmas.  The bells and ferns are Martha Stewart punches.  I thought this felt alpine ribbon from SU (that I've had for ages and am finally using!) looked like the leather strapping they use for bells on horses!

Have you been making your Christmas cards ahead of time??!!  Come join us in the WMS forum!

Stampin' Sisterhood #SS20 August Challenge - Summer Fun

Hello Stampin' Sisters!  Well - it's the first Sunday of the month and that means it's time for another Sisterhood Challenge.   This month Jacquie has another sweet summer photo to inspire us -

Doesn't this picture make you want a Lime Rickey,  a cool Lemonade or a fresh glass of cold Orange Juice??!!

Here's the card I was inspired to make:

I used an Amuse striped card (that I've had FOREVER in my drawer - and SO happy to finally be using one!!).  I white embossed lime slices on green paper using a stamp from the Garnish Set #16561 - the sentiment blocks are from Box Word Set #622.  I wrapped Peapod twine around the card 3 times and tied it in a small bow.  Then I layered the limes with foam tape onto the card and added green rhinestones to the center.  I colored the outside edge of the slices with a YG17 Copic to give definition to the rind of the lime..

We'd love to have you join us in this months challenge -  you'll find all the details on the Stampin' Sisterhood blog.  You could win some Rubbernecker stamps!

Oh -  and check out the Rubbernecker Store!   It's been done completely over and you can now order all your stamping supplies through them now along with your RN stamps!

Stamps:  Rubbernecker - Box Word Set #622, Garnish Set #16561

Paper:  Amuse Stiped Irish Green Card, New Leaf - PTI

Ink:  Versamark, Versifine Onyx Black

Accessories:  hot gun, white embossin powder, foam tape, Peapod Twine - the Twinery, 1 1/4" circle punch - SU, rhinestones - Kaiser, Copic YG17.
