Have a Blast!

I'm hosting at Little Red Wagon this week and this time, the theme is once again inspired by a Def Leppard song (my 2024 challenge list inspiration). The song is Rocket - and I'm looking for anything with space (or even the sky).

I made this tiny gift bag (and it really is tiny, holding a gift card without height room for much more although about half an inch deep) using products from Your Next Stamp. The bag is a die cut and I used the Blast Off stamp set for the rocket and sentiment. The background panel is cut from a generic die although the size wasn't quite right so I ran the panel through my die cutter with the same die on it's side to get the panel dimensions I needed. I had lots of fun colouring the background with various distress inks (black, purple and blue), smooshing the ink onto the panel using some repurposed bubble wrap. I then added some white gel pen "stars" and finally added three die cut stars to finish things off. 

I'd be thrilled if you joined in this week's challenge too! You can find the link up over at Little Red Wagon - and there is inspiration from the rest of the Girlfriends there too!

Hello

Brenda is asking us to "Put it in neutral" this week at Little Red Wagon. Simply put, she'd like to see neutral colours, tones and shades taking centre stage on our projects.

I used off-white and black cardstock to make my card. No stamping, just die cuts. Simple and neutral! 

Please head over to Little Red Wagon to see how the rest of the Girlfriends put things in neutral. We'd love for you to join in the challenge too!

We Wish You a Merry Christmas

Sparkle and shine! That's Janice's happy way of encouraging us to pull out the glitter and sparkle for this week's Little Red Wagon challenge.

Well, I don't know about you, but when I hear "Sparkle and Shine", I think Christmas - so I made a Christmas card! I used a new Crafters Companion die set that came with a Simply Cards magazine. It seemed just the thing for this challenge. Once I die cut the top layer, I covered it in VersaMark and then used a sparkle embossing powder. I also used some glittery Christmas papers. 

Please head over to Little Red Wagon to see the Girlfriends' "Sparkle and shine" projects. We'd love to have you join in this week's challenge too!

Celebrate Your Big Day

I'm afraid I'm late for our latest Little Red Wagon challenge. Unfortunately, I've been hit with Covid again. No fun!

Chrissy is looking for us to "Make it masculine". This is the card I made using an image from Mint Owl Studio, wonky dies from Lil Inker Designs and a sentiment from My Craft Spot. Unfortunately, none of these companies are still in business.

You still have a few days to join the fun too! Please head over to Little Red Wagon with your masculine make. For inspiration, check out the rest of the Girlfriends' projects!
