<br />
3 photos...I substituted 3 hearts because they are cards<br />
sequins<br />
rubons<br />
word stickers<br />
gold foil or glitter<br />
an arrow<br />
ink<br />
square alphabet<br />
<br />
and the Simon Says Stamp Monday Blog Challenge was to use red and this is what I made:<br />

And here is my take using two different stamp sets from Studio Calico and coloring the images with Copic Markers. I love that little girl from an Ashley G stamp that I bought a long time ago and found today when I was cleaning out my stamp drawer. A nice and flat card perfect for mailing...and I made 2 of them and used up a piece of colored card stock. My forever destashing project is getting rid of/using up colored card stock...I prefer white card stock for every thing!</div>

The <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/2016/01/sunday-sketch-kelly-noel-712aa6ea-5cfb-4b14-8b09-889cb9014e08" target="_blank">sketch </a>is based on a card by Lisa Spangler and I love everything she does.<br />
<br />
Here is the card sketch for the week.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And here is my take on the sketch using some paper from the Lisse Street card kit, the <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/shop/stamps/stamp-set-twenty-sixteen-by-jasmine-jones" target="_blank">Twenty Sixteen</a> stamp set by Jasmine Jones and the<a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/shop/stamps/stamp-set-merry-and-bright-by-in-a-creative-bubble" target="_blank"> Merry and Bright </a>stamp set by In A Creative Bubble. I have used both of these stamp sets a ton so they were definitely worth what I paid for them.</div>

I passed out the New Year's cards last week and I was short by about 10...so that is what I am doing this weekend. I made 4 of these using the 4 sheets of this paper that I had. Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!</div>

<br />
Here is the sketch<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaSLdcrMJkU0FnTq60ahnPe7_0Q0tzz1JvGrjd4Erj-yOjJk1y6vxa0JGS9nvN6Qu1EzlVx3Z_JKpzj55OUSv5e0E4p-fa535bH02Sa8hsQX8wU0mNYKiysxSiMpf9C9yV8LFW4h6Hbyhyphenhyphen/s1600/32_Jan2016.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaSLdcrMJkU0FnTq60ahnPe7_0Q0tzz1JvGrjd4Erj-yOjJk1y6vxa0JGS9nvN6Qu1EzlVx3Z_JKpzj55OUSv5e0E4p-fa535bH02Sa8hsQX8wU0mNYKiysxSiMpf9C9yV8LFW4h6Hbyhyphenhyphen/s400/32_Jan2016.png" width="288" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And here is my take on them...I had to take the pics at work so they are not the best, but I gave the cards out today so it is what it is...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For this one I used the later alligator <a href="https://reverseconfetti.com/shop/later-alligator/" target="_blank">stamp set</a> and coordinating <a href="https://reverseconfetti.com/shop/later-alligator-confetti-cuts/" target="_blank">dies</a> and colored him with copic markers. Then I stuck him in a hole cut in some patterned paper and popped it all up with craft foam.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The next one I used the monkey business <a href="https://reverseconfetti.com/?s=monkey+business&post_type=product" target="_blank">stamps and dies</a> and colored that cute monkey with copic markers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

These cards and the others I have made so far have been given out to the staff at work. Tomorrow I am going to see how many more I would have to make for everyone to get one...and then have a marathon card making party of one this weekend.</div>

Yesterday I made 2 different cards using the Lily Bee 6x6 paper pad I am trying to use up.<br />
<br />
For the first 2, I used a mini envelope die from Studio Calico and stuffed in little bits of fun things. The background is embossed with an old Quickutz embossing folder. It is a total lift of this cute <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/galleries/145424-envelope-cheers-card" target="_blank">card</a> by BranchOutDesigns in the Studio Calico gallery.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next up is a set of 6 using the same Lily Bee papers, My Favorite Things <a href="http://www.mftstamps.com/die-namics/blueprints/die-namics-blueprints-15" target="_blank">blueprint dies #15</a>, and Studio Calico <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/shop/stamps/stamp-set-twenty-sixteen-by-jasmine-jones" target="_blank">stamp</a> by Jasmine Jones...I have definitely used it enough to justify buying it. This card was inspired by this <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/galleries/158372-it-s-what-it-is-card" target="_blank">card</a> by Keisha in the Studio Calico gallery. </div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And if my math is correct that leaves me with 24 remaining to make...it's not going to be easy. Yikes!</div>

I used the scrapbook sketch as inspiration for this card. The papers are mostly ancient Making Memories, the background was embossed using a Quickutz embossing folder and the penguin is from the <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/shop/stamps/stamp-set-merry-and-bright-by-in-a-creative-bubble" target="_blank">Merry and Bright</a> stamp set by In a Creative Bubble for Studio Calico. The die for the flag is also Studio Calico. I used some stickles on his hat for a little sparkly. I made 4 of them so my count is now 38 remaining if you are following along;)<br />

Two more happy new year cards done...so 42 remaining. I used up the last little bits of snowflake paper and also a piece of glitter ribbon that has been lying around. The bear stamp is from the <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/shop/stamps/stamp-set-merry-and-bright-by-in-a-creative-bubble" target="_blank">Make it Merry</a> stamp set by In A Creative Bubble for Studio Calico and the fox stamp is from the <a href="https://www.papertreyink.com/stamps/warmest-wishes-stamp-set/" target="_blank">Warmest Wishes</a> stamp set by Papertrey Ink. Both are colored with Copic Markers.<br />

It's a perfect project for stash busting too and you know how I love to use up what I have. The first set of cards was made using all snowflake paper I could find in my stash and this <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/shop/stamps/stamp-set-merry-and-bright-by-in-a-creative-bubble" target="_blank">Merry and Bright</a> stamp by In A Creative Bubble for Studio Calico. The paper on this particular card is from an old Basic Grey collection.<br />

I also used up some colored card stock which is awesome because my bin is over stuffed and those snowflake sequins are now gone from my stash too. I was inspired by the 12.20 <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/2015/12/sunday-sketch-jamie-waters-449e1526-fd47-4a12-a7ed-f595a912b041" target="_blank">Sunday Sketch</a> at Studio Calico.

This is one thing I have more than I could use in a lifetime so why now dust off a bottle of spray ink and make a few more Christmas cards.<br />
<br />
I used the <a href="https://www.papertreyink.com/stamps/warmest-wishes-stamp-set/" target="_blank">Warmest Wishes</a> stamp set and dies for this card and colored the images with Copic markers. I made the splatters with Frosty Nights glimmer mist from Tattered Angels.<br />

<br />
Here is the sketch...<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
First I tried the sketch with some circles using Simon Says Stamp border and circle dies, colored the images with Copic markers and added some Stickles for some sparkle.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLNP0IC6mu1GJolOPiBOsIYDuP2m_5boStCUfpUEAdqaFJnrkQRT5H2dnJgAYjcj1BXHqlwz-P1m9QvElS8arl4IB4JkN2Q9Zs6gAWk2zCeBAuyVQxggsZKZMHc_Nnz3PEFeymJaSHGukW/s1600/IMG_8068.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLNP0IC6mu1GJolOPiBOsIYDuP2m_5boStCUfpUEAdqaFJnrkQRT5H2dnJgAYjcj1BXHqlwz-P1m9QvElS8arl4IB4JkN2Q9Zs6gAWk2zCeBAuyVQxggsZKZMHc_Nnz3PEFeymJaSHGukW/s400/IMG_8068.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
Then I used my Studio Calico triangle dies, Martha Stewart glitter and American Crafts red glitter ribbon for this card.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Here is the sketch...<br />
