I am here with Retro Rubber Challenge blog and we have a new challenge, which is a Tic Tac Toe Challenge. My tic tac toe is die cut, stencil and gems.  Be sure to stop over on the Retro Rubber Challenge blog to get more inspiration, the design team has some wonderful creations!

The rules to play along with Retro Rubber Challenge is very simple, make sure the stamp you use on your project is at least one year or older. For more details on the rules, you can find them over on Retro Rubber Challenge blog.

The stamp set I am using from Taylored Expressions called Ghostly Greetings which was released in August 2024.  The ghost die is from Spellbinder which was also released in August 2024, it is called Woof-or-Treat.  The dog on the right is also from Spellbinder that was just released called Pupkin Etched Die. 

My card is an A2 card. I used a cloud stencil for the background using distress wilted violet ink on white cardstock.  I die cut the panel using Penny Black Antique Frame.  I used a black shimmery cardstock from my stash at the bottom and die cut it with the Antique Frame.  

I die cut the puppies and assembled them.  I stamped, embossed and die cut the sentiment.  I assembled the card and finished it off by adding the bats, a cloud a moon from Tim Holtz Ghost Town #2 and
black gems.

Caffeinated Christmas Challenge #44

Friday, August 1, 2025

Hello everyone!


I am here playing along with the Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge and Newton's Nook Designs is the sponsor.  If you have not played along with the Challenge, you will find all the details on the Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge.  

I have created a caffinated Christmas themed card using Newton's Nook Designs products:

D. Idlet, Caffinated Christmas Card Challenge #44, Newton's Nook Designs, Card Layout 3, Christmas Time Paper Pad,Christmas Coffees Stamp Set, Cheerful Brights Glitter Cardstock

My card is an A2 card.  I started by die cutting the frame from the NEWLY released Card Layout 3 Die using white cardstock from my stash.  I then die cut it again using NND Christmas Time Paper Pad and assembled it with the white frame.  I added this to the cardbase.  I then stamped, colored and die cut the Christmas coffee cups from the NND Christmas Coffees stamp set.  I added these to the card, using a pop dot to the center cup.  This set has an assortment of Christmas cups to use on any of your projects.  The Holiday Cheer is from NND Holiday Cheer Die Set, the shadow die I die cut using vellum, the words I die cut using NND Cheerful Brights Glitter Cardstock.  I finished off the card by adding some snowflake embellishments from my stash.
