Vintage Noel

Hello! Sorry for my delay in my post for this week's Christmas Card Challenge... This week we want to see your vintage inspired cards.

I used some pretty 7 Gypsies Santa's Journey papers for my card and the great sketch from Mojo Monday #287. The sentiment is from Amy R stamps. Just some misc pearls and ribbon from a past KI kit. I used a MFT ornament die to cut out the cute kids and used a CTMH square brad to attach it. 

The Noel isn't actually double lined like on my card, I had a mishap with my stamp positioner when I tried to make it darker... oh well I kind of like it this way!

Thanks for looking!

Carpenter Bear

 Hello again! I'm back with another challenge for ABC Challenges. We're on to K for Kraft and we're sponsored by Bugaboo!  

Today is my dear daddy's birthday and this is the card I made him. He's a trim carpenter so this sweet bear was perfect for his card. I colored him with Copics. The paper pack is an old one from CTMH, so are the buttons. I added some kraft colored hemp to go with the kraft cardstock from GKD. The sketch is Sweet Stop #204, although I put my image on top of the flags instead of underneath.

As always, thanks for looking! I hope you have a chance to join us.

Also, the DT call is still open for ABC Challenges, check out the blog for the details!

Reindeer Holidays

Hello and Happy Easter! There is another challenge up for Christmas Card Challenges. This week's challenge is Reindeer.

I used a sweet reindeer and sentiment from TE, colored him with my Copics, and added some Stickles bling to his hat. The paper is from Echo Park: Very Merry Christmas. The sketch is Deconstructed Sketch #95. Just some misc ribbon and pearls to finish it off!

Thanks for looking! Enjoy your week!

CAS Christmas

Hello! There's another challenge up at Christmas Card Challenges! This week the optional challenge is Clean&Simple. 

As soon as I saw the challenge I knew I wanted to find a sketch at Clean&Simple to play with. I know I've said this before, but their sketches and samples are some of my favs. I chose sketch #232. The paper is MME: All Is Bright. I used the Winter Rose die from MFT as my focal image with a CTMH brad in the center. The sentiment is from PTI. 

Thanks for looking! I hope you have a chance to play along!

Sweet Treats

Hello, and happy St Patrick's day! I'm back today with another Christmas Card Challenges card. The optional challenge for this week is Sweet Treats. Oh man, what a great part about the holidays... all the yummies! I love candy canes... one of my co-workers makes cookies with candy cane pudding mix, my mouth is watering just thinking about them, lol!

I chose to make a scene with some cute TE stamps, I just love these little guys and his candy cane. I used Bella Blvd Christmas Wishes paper for the card and paper pieced the tree. I added some mini rhinestones to the tree for some bulbs. Some ribbon and a snowflake die cut from the same paper pack finish it off.

Thanks for looking! All this talk about candy canes has made me hungry, I'm pretty sure I have some white chocolate candy cane Hershey kisses stashed in the freezer and they're calling my name!

This card also qualifies for the ABC Christmas Challenge with ribbon, animals, and a die cut.
