Waltzingmouse Pajama Party June 2015

Hello! Claire over at Waltzingmouse Stamps is hosting a Pajama Party today and tomorrow and I decided to come join in the fun! Claire put up 4 challenges for us to participate in while we are "at" the party. :)

The first challenge is to Can It/Pickle It. We were supposed to use some sort of jar on our card.

I decided to pull out my Candy Jar Christmas WMS set and make a little Wish List spiral notebook for this challenge. It's a Christmas wish list of course -  never too early to start dreaming! I recently bought a spiral binding machine and have had alot of fun making little notebooks for friends and family. Here is the one I made for this challenge:

The second challenge is the Coffee Colour challenge. We were to use the following coffee color palette:
 
I made a tag for some Christmas Ghirardelli candies for my entry for this challenge. I used the Oven Fresh Gingerbread Joy set from WMS.

 The third challenge was to use an older WMS set. I decided to use Free Spirit and Free Spirit Sentiments. I stamped the large circle image and used my new Zigg Clean Color markers to add color. I spritzed the whole thing with water to spread the color.

The fourth challenge was to use the following sketch for our card. It needed to include some sort of banner.

I decided to use the WMS USA 1776 set for this card as well as Playful Pinwheels. I used the pinwheels to stamp banner elements and then the USA set to stamp and emboss (with glitter embossing powder) the fireworks, sentiment and stars. It's VERY sparkly in real life! LOL

I sure had fun creating these cards and pulling out these older WMS sets! Hope you enjoy the party too!

Waltzingmouse Pajama Party Challenge #4

Hello! I am staying up late to play at the WMS Pajama Party tonight! The fourth and final challenge is the Bedtime Story Sketch. This is the sketch we were supposed to use for our card:

I turned the sketch vertical, used the Labels #14 again (as I used in Challenge #3), and stamped and colored the elf from Elf Made using copics. I stamped the peppermint from Elf Made for my scattered image around the label. I mounted the label with foam tape.

Can't wait to see what others come up with! Thanks for stopping by!

Waltzingmouse Pajama Party Challenge #3

Hello! I am staying up late to play at the WMS Pajama Party tonight! The third challenge is Old Pajamas - we were supposed to use an older WMS Christmas set for a card or project. I pulled out Holiday Labels #14 and Compliments Of The Season for my card. It's been quite a while since I've used that label die, and it felt good to pull it out again - such a pretty shape! I stamped the frame in green, then clear embossed it. I stamped the sentiment from Compliments of the Season in Versamark and embossed it with Ranger Red Tinsel embossing powder. I mounted the label with foam tape onto a card covered with some Christmas patterned sheet music paper.

Can't wait to see what others come up with! Thanks for stopping by!

Waltzingmouse Pajama Party Challenge #2

Hello! I am staying up late to play at the WMS Pajama Party tonight! The second challenge is Wrap It Up Warm - to make a gift bag or box with a cozy feel. I have had several small Pringles cans sitting around, just waiting to find a use for. My husband takes one each day in his lunch, so they are accumulating quickly! I thought this would be great container for some Christmas candy to give as a gift for neighbors. With the plastic lid, it would stay fresh. So I wrapped the can with some kraft paper stamped with the stitched quilt block from Secret Santa in red. I stamp a couple of the sentiments from the same set along the top and bottom. I also cut a circle with my circle Nestabilities and stamped it with Elf Approval stamp for the lid.  I think the kraft paper paired with the stitched block looks very warm and cozy!

Can't wait to see what others come up with! Thanks for stopping by!

Waltzingmouse Pajama Party Challenge #1

Hello! I am staying up late to play at the WMS Pajama Party tonight! The first challenge is Scandi Tags - to make a tag in red and white using Scandinavian style images. It seemed like Nordic Winter was a natural choice for this tag, and I used my new Picot #2 die for the tag. The tag is a little on the small side, but will work well with a small gift I think.

Can't wait to see what others come up with! Thanks for stopping by!
