Here's a Christmas card for a sketch challenge and a button challenge. First, I used the 300th sketch over at Splitcoast here, and then I participated in the PPA#62 challenge, All Buttoned Up here.
I started with a Real Red base and added three papers from Candy Cane Christmas Specialty DSP. May I just add that I love the sparkly glitter?!?Then I colored the tree from Season of Joy with the Garden Green and Chocolate Chip Stampin write markers and stamped that on Whisper White. I threaded a Real Red Designer button with a sliver of Baha Breeze card stock and adhered that with a Glue dot.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Season of Joy
Papers: Whisper White, Real Red, Baha Breeze, Garden Green, Candy Cane Christmas Specialty DSP

A Clean & Simple Card
Here's my take on this week's Clean & Simple FTL109 here.
The base is Old Olive and I added Olive DSP from Autumn Spice. There's more Autumn Spice DSP layered on top of some More Mustard. I used the 1 inch circle punch to create the scallops on the side. I stamped thinking of you from Trendy Trees in Early Espresso on Old Olive and punched that with the Word Window punch. I added that to a More Mustard piece punched with the Modern Label punch and popped that all up with Stampin dimensionals.

Stamps: Trendy Trees

Halloween Hand Sanitizer Boxes
I made this cute box to hold a Halloween hand sanitizer from Bath & Body Works(they're only $1 each so this makes a great, inexpensive gift). I got the template for the box from Erica Cerwin's blog, Pink Buckaroo Designs here.
I started with a base of Rich Razzleberry and added some DSP from the Patterns DSP Brights Stack. Using the stamp set, Wicked Cool, I stamped the witches hat in Rich Razzleberry and colored the socks and boots with the Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive Stampin write marker. I stamped Spooky in Basic Black on Whisper White and punched that out with the 1 3/4 in by 7/8 in Large Oval punch. I added some 1/4 inch Pumpkin Pie grosgrain around the front piece. For the inside I colored in the sentiment in Rich Razzleberry, Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive Stampin write markers and punched it with the same Large Oval punch. I added a Pumpkin Pie piece punched with the XL Scallop Oval punch. Finally, a half-circle of a Velcro tab keeps the box closed.

Birthday Bakery with a Mojo Sketch
Not too sure if my Mojo arrived with this card. I made it for the MojoMonday sketch #155 here.
I thought of using the DSP Pack-In Color papers right away but couldn't decide on a stamp set. Then I thought of Birthday Bakery cuz it has the tag stamp with the "for you cupcake".
I started with a base of Early Espresso. I added the Blushing Bride and Concord Crush paper from the DSP Pack-In Color. I cut the circles out with the Coluzzle. And I inked up the white one on the edges with Early Espresso. I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig and the Early Espresso Stampin write marker to color in just 4 of the cakes. I then used Blushing Bride, Concord Crush and Early Espresso stamp pads and blender pend to color in all the images, including the tag. I punched the tag out with the Large tag punch and then an Early Espresso piece with the XL Tag punch. Finally, a piece of 1/2 inch Concord Crush stitched-poly ribbon finishes it off.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Birthday Bakery
Papers: Whisper White, Blushing Bride, Concord Crush, Early Espresso, DSP Pack-In Color
Inks: Blushing Bride, Concord Crush, Early Espresso Classic pads and Stampin write markers
Accessories: Large & XL Tag punches, Stamp-a-ma-jig, Coluzzle, 1/2 inch Concord Crush stitched-poly ribbon, blender pens

Stamping 411 Sketch #167 Thank You
This is my take on the Stamping 411 sketch #167 here.
I began with a Baha Breeze card stock base and added some Baha Breeze paper from the Greenhouse Gala DSP and some more paper from that DSP. I colored the flower image from Friends Never Fade with the Chocolate Chip and Pear Pizzazz Stampin write markers and stamped it a few times on Whisper White and layered that onto a piece of Chocolate Chip. I stamped thank you from All Holidays in Baha Breeze, punched it out with the Word Window punch and layered it on to a Baha Breeze piece punched with the Modern Label punch. I added a strip of 1/2 inch Pear Pizzazz stitched-poly ribbon and two Antique Brass brads to finish it off.
Here's my recipe:

FTL106 More Autumn Spice
Since I had the Day of Gratitude stamp set and coordinating Autumn Spice Specialty DSP already on my desk for my last card, I figured I'd use them again and show you how many different looks you can create!
This one if for the FTL106 here at Clean and Simple Stamping.
The base of the card is Cajun Craze and I rounded the bottom corners with the Corner rounder punch. I added some DSP and also rounded the corners. I colored in the big leaf with the Early Espresso and More Mustard Stampin write markers. I stamped the other image on Very Vanilla with Early Espresso. I punched that out with the 1 1/4 inch circle punch and layered it onto a Espresso piece punched with the 1 3/8 inch circle punch. The sentiment is from Thank You Kindly and I colored that with my Cajun Craze Stampin write marker, stamped it onto More Mustard and punched it out with the Word Window punch. A piece of Cajun Craze was punched with the Modern Label punch. Finally, I popped up both leaf images with Stampin dimensionals.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Day of Gratitude and Thank You Kindly
Papers: Very Vanilla, Cajun Craze, More Mustard, Early Espresso and Autumn Spice Specialty DSP
Inks: Early Espresso, Cajun Craze and More Mustard Stampin write markers, Early Espresso Stampin pad
Accessories: 1 1/4 in and 1 3/8 in circle punches, Word Window punch, Modern Label punch, Corner rounder punch, Stampin dimensionals

MOJO154 Autumn Spice Gratitude
Here's a card using the MojoMonday sketch#154.
I started with a base of Early Espresso and added different papers from the Autumn Spice Specialty DSP. I ran a piece of More Mustard thru the Big Shot with the Square lattice textured impressions embossing folder. I also used the Big Shot with Espresso and the Scallop Square. And the More Mustard circle was cut out with the Circles #2 die. The 2 3/8 inch XL Scallop circle was used to punch out the Espresso piece and the 1 3/4 inch XL Circle was used for the Very Vanilla circle. Onto that Vanilla circle I stamped the greeting from Day of Gratitude in Early Espresso. I cut out a leaf from one of the patterned papers of the Autumn Spice Specialty DSP. Finally, the scallop circle piece was popped up on Stampin dimensionals.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Day of Gratitude
Papers: Very Vanilla, Early Espresso, More Mustard, Autumn Spice Specialty DSP
Inks: Early Espresso
Accessories: 1 3/4 in XL Circle punch, 2 3/8 in XL Scallop Circle punch, Scallop Square Bigz clear die, Circles #2 die, Square lattice textured impressions embossing folder, Stampin dimensionals

PPA#58 Elegant Black Thanks
Here's my try at the PPA#58-Pretty in Pearls challenge here.
I don't have any of the Basic Pearls so I improvised by putting Crystal Effects on the ends of silver brads and dipping them in Dazzling Diamonds glitter.
I started with a base Very Vanilla. I took a piece of Basic Black and ran it thru the Big Shot with the Elegant Lines textured impressions embossing folder. I punched out some of the Love Letter DSP with the Scallop Oval punch. I stamped the "thanks" image from Perfect Punches in Basic Black and cut out the thanks. I layered that on a Basic Black oval punched with the 1 3/8 by 5/8 inch oval punch and popped it up with Stampin dimensionals. I added the brads inside the circles. Finally, a piece of 1/8 inch Very Vanilla taffeta ribbon finishes it off.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Perfect Punches
Papers: Very Vanilla, Basic Black, Love Letter DSP
Inks: Basic Black
Accessories: Crystal Effects, silver brads, Dazzling Diamonds glitter, Elegant Lines textured impressions embossing folder, Scallop oval punch, 1 3/8 by 5/8 oval punch, Stampin dimensionals, 1/8 inch Very Vanilla taffeta ribbon

It's Live-Holiday Mini Catalog!
Today's the day you can order from the Holiday Mini. Just click on the link to see the awesome catty or let me know if you'd like a copy.
I made this card for the Splitcoast sketch #296 here using Candy Cane Christmas Specialty DSP and A Cute Christmas stamp set.
I started by running the Real Red card stock thru the Big Shot with the Petals-a-Plenty textured impressions embossing folder. I added two of the paper designs from Candy Cane Christmas. I stamped the ornaments from A Cute Christmas in Basic Black and colored them in with the Baha Breeze, Garden Green and Real Red Stampin write markers. Merry Christmas from Loads of Love was stamped in Real Red. Finally, I added a piece of 1/8 inch Real Red taffeta to make the ornaments look like they were hanging from the ribbon. Here's my recipe:
