Winter Greetings

Happy New Year from Just Us Girls! We have something new called Die Week and our challenge this time around is Anything Goes. Some weeks we will have a caveat with Use a Die such as a theme or shape, etc. I received this fabulous Pink Fresh stamp, die and stencil set as a gift from a friend in December and couldn't wait to try it out! I die cut the snowflake and sentiment for my card. This card is very sparkly (if you look closely or in real life) on the white glitter cardstock! Be sure to check out all of the team's wonderful cards as well as that of our guest this month, Annette Elias. 

Products I used:

PrinkFresh Studio: Folk Snowflake stamp, die and stencil set

Distress inks

Ink blending brushes

White glitter cardstock

Waffle Flower Grip mat

Foam dots

I am so impressed with these stamps, stencils and dies from PinkFresh. Such great quality and ease of use. I didn't use the snowflake stamp this time, but chose one of the sentiments to stamp and die cut. We hope you will join us this week by using a die (or several) this week as we ring in the new year!

Happy New Year to you and yours!

Happy New Year and Happy Me!

It's a new year and 2025 is off to a fun new start for me as I join the Time Out Challenges Design Team. I am so happy and honored to be joining this talented and wonderful group of women from all over the world. Our first Time Out Challenge of the year is Beginnings and there is a wonderful prize being offered by our generous sponsor Doodlebugs, a $25.00 store credit.

I decided to go with a New Year's card even though I had been thinking about the beginning of a day (sunrise), a wedding theme (beginning of a new chapter), a new baby, a new job, etc. It is a fresh start or "beginning" when the calendar is on January 1st, so I grabbed some new and old products from my stash to make a wine bottle tag.

Products I used:

Hero Arts: Hello Edger die set

My Favorite Things: Number dies

The Greetery: Pinwheel Party die set

Stampin' Up!: Gold striped vellum

Gold glitter cardstock

We hope you are ready for some papercrafting and that you have some "beginnings" ideas for a project to share in our gallery!

Wishing you a happy new year with lots of time to do papercrafts in 2025!
