A Christmas Card for a Couple of Challenges

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
Inks: Chocolate Chip and Garden Green Stampin write markers
Accessories: Real Red Designer Button

Stamping 411 Sketch #170

Here's a quick one for the Stamping 411 sketch #170.
The base is Blushing Bride and I used two of the patterned papers from the Candy Cane Christmas Specialty DSP. I ran a piece of Garden Green thru the Scallop Trim border punch. I stamped the coordinating ornaments and the sentiment from A Cute Christmas in Garden Green.
I colored in the ornaments with the Blushing Bride, Garden Green and Real Red Stampin write markers. Finally, a piece of 1/2 inch Blushing Bride stitched-poly ribbon finishes it off.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: A Cute Christmas
Papers: Whisper White, Blushing Bride, Garden Green and Candy Cane Christmas Specialty DSP
Inks: Blushing Bride, Garden Green and Real Red Stampin Write markers, Garden Green classic stamp pad
Accessories: Scallop trim border punch, 1/2 inch Blushing Bride stitched-poly ribbon

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.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Trendy Trees
Papers: Old Olive, More Mustard and Autumn Spice Specialty DSP
Inks: Early Espresso
Accessories: 1 inch circle punch, Word Window and Modern Label punches, Stampin dimensionals

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.

Here's my recipe:

Stamps: Wicked Cool

Papers: Whisper White, Rich Razzleberry, Pumpkin Pie

Inks: Basic Black, Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie Stampin write markers

Accessories: XL Scallop Oval punch, 1 3/4 by 7/8 inch Large Oval punch, 1/4 inch Pumpkin Pie grosgrain, Velcro tab

PPA#61 Purple Pedestal

This card is for PPA#61 here.
I used the new to me, On a Pedestal set. The card stock base is Concord Crush with some of the DSP Pack-In Color and Patterns DSP Brights Stack too. I colored in the images with Chocolate Chip and Concord Crush Stampin write markers and added a Daffodil Delight candle. The sentiment was stamped in Concord Crush, punched out with the 1 1/4 inch square punch and layered onto a Crush piece punched with the Scallop square punch. I stamped the candle again in Daffodil Delight and punched it out with the 3/4 inch circle punch. That was layered on to a Daffodil Delight piece punched with the 1 inch circle punch and popped up with Stampin dimensionals. Finally, I added a piece of 1/2 inch Concord Crush stitched-poly ribbon.

I used the Early Espresso Stampin write marker to add some dots and faux stitching. I stamped the leaves from Falling Leaves in More Mustard and Cajun Craze, cutting out the Cajun Craze one and popping it up with Stampin dimensionals. Behind that leaf I added a Very Vanilla 1 inch circle that was layered on to a 1 1/4 inch Cajun Craze circle.

I also stamped the leaf in Early Espresso, cut it out and popped it up with a Stampin dimensional.
