Peace of mind for mashups!

I just love when I can mash up challenges.

Does it work for Friday Mashup as well as it does random challenge blogs? Usually not, lol!

But, in this case (for the past couple actually) Sunday Stamps and Retro Rubber have gone well together and that makes my heart happy!

Here's what I came up with:

Stamps: Dasher (ret)
Inks: Baked Brown Sugar, Costal Cabana, Strawberry Slush (all ret)
Paper: Coastal Cabana, whisper white,
Sweet sorbet DSP (ret)
Accessories: Crisp Cantalope and Coastal Cabana bakers twine, white tinsel twins from target, button, rhinestones, and snowflake embossing folder (ret), Christmas greetings thinlit.

I just ADORE Dasher! From 2008, this little guy is just an adorable way to add that perfect wintery touch to any Christmas-y card! I thought pairing the embossing folder with the banners would be too much, but once assembled I really like it! I know we're all partial to cards we make, but let me tell you, I've had quite a few duds. Sometimes they're salvageable, sometimes there is absolutely no place they belong better than in the trash :)

Not this one! Phew! Keeping with the winter, and not so much Christmas theme, I opted for more non-traditional colors, which have been ALL the rage this past year. Christmas is going glam!

Thanks for stopping by and have a stamptastic day!

Try Stampin' on Tuesday Challenge 30

I decided to get back into challenge mode, so I hopped on over to Try Stampin' On Tuesday and give theirs a try! I have participated in a few of theirs before and I really enjoy them!

I had a hard time deciding which stamp set to use, but once I picked it the card came together beautifully!

Sorry its so dark!

I LOVE Dasher! I also love Christmas (I think its my favorite of holidays, with Halloween really growing on me!)  I used Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Whisper White sponged with EE to age the card. Cherry Cobbler and Early Espresso Bakers twine, and the snowflakes embossing folder. I also , which is very hard to see, used Versa Mark and Iridescent Ice embossing powder over the snowflakes just for a little extra sparkle. Easy peasy!

Hope you enjoy and have a stamp (or scrap) -tastic day!!
