Merry Little Christmas

This is my take on this month's sketch at CLP Challenges.  I created a Christmas card using Sneaky Tilda from Magnolia Stamps.  The base of my card is hunter green.  I cut a piece of Christmas plaid card stock a little smaller than the base of the card and backed it in merry card stock.  I cut a tag out of tan card stock. To the top of the tag I added a piece of crackled green patterned paper that I punched the edge using an eyelet lace border punch.  I added a piece of brown sugar baker's twin and a bow to the tag and added it to the card.  I cut a piece of tan card stock and punched the bottom edge using the same eyelet lace border punch.  I added a piece of hunter green ribbon and a piece of brown sugar baker's twine across the middle of it and added it to the card.  I colored the image using crayola and prisma colored pencils and backed it in merry card stock.  I added a off white satin flower to a sage green crocheted flower to the corner of the image.  I added a red and green hat pin to the flower. I finished off the front of the card by adding cream pearls to the top corner.

 

I finished the inside of the card by cutting a piece of crackled green card stock a little smaller than the card base. I backed it in merry cardstock.  I stamped the sentiment onto white card stock and backed it in merry.  Then I cut a piece of the Christmas plaid card stock a little bigger than the sentiment and backed it in tan card stock.

Warm Wishes and a DT Call

Whiff Of Joy Challenge blog is looking for some new crafters for their design team.  I am entering this Christmas card using this week's sketch and this adorable Henry Mouse With Hot Chocolate rubber stamp. 

I used the colors red, citrus teal and white. I colored the image using crayola and prisma colored pencils. I added frosted lace and christmas red stickles to the snowflakes, Henry's scarf and his hat. I also added teal rhinestones to the snowflakes.  I added piece of teal with snowflakes ribbon behind the image.  I used a snowflake border punch to help make the red cardstock below the sentiment pop a little.  Then I added a little red baker's twine to it and tucked the corner of the sentiment into it.  The white strip of cardstock at the bottom is embossed using a cuttlebug embossing folder (dots). To finish the card I added 3 red rhinestones to the top corner.

Christmas Mice

I created this Christmas card for the spy day challenge at TGF's Farm Fresh Challenges.  The inspiration I used from the spy day card was the sketch and twine.  The base of my card is kraft card stock.  I cut a piece of citrus teal card stock a little smaller than the card and backed it in red card stock.  I added red bakers twine across the middle of the card.  The snowflakes that I added are thin plastic snowflake ornaments that I found at the dollar store.  I colored the image, Candy Cane Snack,  using crayola and prisma colored pencils.  I backed it in red and then again in kraft.  I stamped the sentiment onto kraft card stock and backed it in red.  I made a bow out of the red bakers twine and added it to the twine across the middle. I added a red heart rhinestone to the sentiment and 3 red rhinestones to the bottom corner of the card.
