NOTHING GOING ON HERE

Hi everyone!  Well, it has been a while since I posted anything on here so I thought I would just check in.  I'm not crafting right now and haven't for quite some time.  I guess I'm just sort of "crafted" out.  Anyway, I am in the process of going through crafting supplies and seeing what I can live without.  I've already posted some on eBay and sold quite a few so far.  There is so much in my stock that it will take some time to go through it all.  I still have a good bit of Penny Black (which I still love and plan to keep some of it), House Mouse Designs, and some Our Daily Bread Designs along with a good amount of miscellaneous off brand stamps, coloring supplies, ink, embossing folders, die cuts, punches, etc.  I have a ton of pattern paper too but my cardstock is low and I have purposely let that go down.  So, I will be posting from time to time here to let you know what I still have and if anyone is interested you can find me on eBay at: carolinashoppe2014.  My prices are low and shipping is always free.  See you there hopefully!

Candy Cane Surprise

Well Hello and welcome!  I've been having loads of fun making these cute candy cane holders.  Most of them have been in red & white but I decided I wanted to get off the beaten path a little so here is something I made for the Penny Black Saturday Challenge for November.  The challenge is Anything Goes or Optional Tag.  Well, I guess this could be used as a tag but I made it as a little something else to be added to to the inside of the gift.  The paper is from Penny Black Holiday Trimmings 6 x 6 Paper Pad and the sentiment is from the Penny Black Christmas Cheer stamp set.  The cardstock is a scrap that I had just laying on my table to it worked out perfect I think!  
Okay, so what do you think?  I saw this design on Pinterest  by Rick Adkins.  Here is the link (if I did this correctly):

So hope you will give it a try...it's super easy and quick.  Thanks for stopping by!

Digi Stamps from Power Poppy

Happy Friday everyone!  These are a few examples of some digi stamps from Power Poppy that I have had for a long, long time and am finally reviving them.  They are beautiful and so easy to color and turn into an inspiring card.  I have a few more I'm working on and hope to turn into a beautiful creation.  Keep checking in and I'll show you what I'm accomplishing.
Thanks for looking in today.

Sympathy Card

Hey everyone!  Unfortunately I'm in need of a sympathy card.  Have lost two friends in the last 3 months and the sad thing is they were brother and sister.  Well, it's sad but we all must face these things sooner or later.  
The image is digi from Power Poppy and is colored with Prismacolor Pencils and a blender pen.  The sentiment on the outside is from Penny Black Heartfelt Stamp Set.  
Thanks for looking today.

Gift Card Holder

So, what do you think?  I've been playing with these gift card holders today, along with a Candy Cane holder (which isn't complete because Candy Canes aren't out in the stores yet).  But these gift cards are so easy and fast.  I saw them on  Pinterest and couldn't wait to try it.  They can also be used for cash.  I should have opened them up so you could see the inside.  I'll go back and do that and add them later.  
Thanks for looking...

Adornment #2

I'm back with another card using the Penny Black Adornment stamp.  I said it was my favorite stamp - hahahah!  This time I mounted the image on squares of red and gold and added clear and red rhinestones.  The greeting at the bottom is from a Penny Black Christmas Cheer collection and is perfect for this I think.  I entering this one as well in the Penny Black Saturday Challenge Anything Goes.
Here is the inside sentiment, which is also a Penny Black stamp called Friends & Family.  I just received it from 1-2-3 Stitch (was able to use up my gift certificate from 1-2-3 Stitch that I won from Penny Black August Challenge.  This is a great sentiment.  Well, let me know what you think.  Thanks for looking!
