TGIF Challenge #500! - Let’s Tear It Up!




HOLY 500, BATMAN!!! Today is officially the 500th TGIF Challenge Hop! Can you believe that??? I can’t begin to express how grateful I am to be part of this group of creative, kind and amazing crafters!

This week we are going with a technique challenge … one that has made the rounds (it was all the rage over 20 years ago when I started this crazy papercrafting journey and is making a comeback now … not that it ever totally went away!)!!





The only thing I actually stamped on this card is the sentiment, which is from “One of a Kind”. The rest is all DSP, paper tearing, ink flicking and die cutting!

I used a combo of Basic White with DSP from Country Woods AND Reindeer Days to create the torn layers. I always love it when shapes on the DSP can easily be cut with dies that accompany the suite/bundle. Isn’t the little reindeer adorable??






I created the “medallion” using a die from Reindeer days that I cut out a second time with a die from Spotlight On Nature. 

I added a little more texture by flicking some ink using a Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blend. And the little adhesive-backed peppermints just make my heart happy!
