Another Christmas Card

I did a number of different Christmas cards because

I have a short attention span when creating a large

production of cards.  This Christmas card uses the

Happy Scenes set on page 11 of the Holiday Mini.

This is such an awesome set, with varied sentiments

and scenes.

The other component of this card is the 

Woodland Textured Impressions Embossing Folder

on page 39 of the Holiday Mini.  This folder was officially

placed on the retiring list, but due to MUCH foot stomping

on the part of demonstrators, 

it will return in the 2016-17

Catalog!

WWC47 Marsha's Color Challenge

Welcome back to the Watercoolr Wednesday Challenge.

Today is Marsha's lovely Blue-Gray Color Challenge.

This color range works for Christmas, masculine or

any other event.  It really speaks to many themes.

 The color palette for my card is Soft Sky, Marina Mist,

Smoky Slate and Night of Navy.  I used Smoky Slate

and Night of Navy for the card base and layers.

The sets used included Chalk Lines (p 123), 

You've Got This (p113) and Butterfly Basics (p 124).

They are all great collage sets and work really well together.

Please head over to the Watercooler and give
this Challenge a try!

Tags with Box

The Snow Place set with Snow Friends Framelits (Holiday catty page 33)

made it easy to create cute little tags.  I used the 6x6 Merry Moments

Designer Series Paper Stack (p 27) for the various tag layers.

 

The box, by the way, is a sardine can box, with DSP layers for decoration.

Really quick and easy!

WWC46 Jean's Masculine Challenge

Watercooler Wednesday sure does roll around fast,

doesn't it.  This week, Jean has provided a cool challenge;

a CAS Masculine challenge.

I have 5 nephews and we all know that it can be

difficult to come up with designs for a masculine card.

 So get out there and start creating!

I'm not a huge Stars Wars fan, but seem to have been affected

by all of the hype and trailers.  I just could not get this card

out of my head, especially knowing that my nephews 

would "get" candy canes that become light sabers.

The Snow Place set with Snow Friends Framelits (Holiday catty)

made it easy to design a duel, with parts and pieces flying.

I used the Alphabet Rotary Stamp (page 132) to

create the novel sentiment and punched it out with the

Washi Label Punch.

So now that you have been "inspired",  jump on over to the

Watercooler Challenge site to link up your entry for

Jean's challenge.

Happy Scenes Christmas Card

Happy Scenes is such a great set because you can

use it from Fall through Winter.  I pulled it out to make some

of my Christmas cards.

This card simply required a little masking and sponging.
The sentiment comes from a set that retired last year.
