Falliday Fest 2024

I'm back with some more end-of-the-year Falliday Fest challenges.  It's been a few years since I partook in New Year's Eve stamping challenges, and it was relaxing to get back to creating for fun.

The Tastes of the Season

For the smells and tastes of the holidays, I chose my grandmother's gingerbread cookies.

Stamps: Gingerbread Man; Paper: Pretty in Pink, Real Red, Cherry Cobbler, Mint Macaron, Garden Green, Pecan Pie, Whisper White, Country Gingham DSP; Ink: Pecan Pie, Versamark; Accessories: Delightful Decorative Dots, White Embossing Powder, Gingerbread Man Dies, Die-Cutting Machine.

Metal Foil Tape ATC

Combining the metal foil tape & ATC challenges, I basically followed along with this video to create the background. 

I grabbed some weird things to make texture, like a Pedro's bicycle cleaning tool and spiral-bound notebook.  The hardest part is to figure out what layers to put on top without covering up all the background interest.

Stamps: You're Amazing, Plane & Simple; Paper: Pecan Pie, Early Espresso, Very Vanilla Scraps; Ink: Cajun Craze, Pecan Pie; Accessories: Amuse Creative Candy Clear Sticker, Misc Embellishments from Stash, Sponge, Crystal Effects, Metal Aluminum Tape, Drywall Tape, Black Acrylic Paint, Art Anthology Dimensional Paint, Stylus, Garage Gears Dies, Die-Cutting Machine.

Geometric Christmas Wreath

Rather than masking a wreath area, I die-cut a wreath and used leaf and holly masks to color it.

Stamps: Traditional Labels; Paper: Real Red, Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Plaid Tidings DSP; Ink: Real Red, Old Olive, Garden Green, Memento Tuxedo Black; Accessories: Embellishments from 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar Kit, Blending Brushes, Holly Berry Builder Punch, Christmas Greenery Dies, Traditional Labels Dies, Layering Circles Dies.

Triple Z-Fold

Here's the PDF instructions to the fun fold.  When I try this fold again, I'll edit the instructions to make a 5-1/2" tall card.

Stamps: Turtle-y Awesome; Paper: Shaded Spruce, Basic Black, Whisper White, Turtle-y Cute DSP; Ink: Versamark; Accessories: Shades of Green Hexagons, White Embossing Powder, Turtle-y Awesome Dies, Spotlight on Nature Dies, 12 Days of Crafting Advent (postage die), Die-Cutting Machine, Dimensionals.
