Pastel Snowman

Welcome to my monthly post for the Season's Greetings Challenge Blog!  For Challenge #5 the Christmas themes are the color combo shown below or as always anything goes.

                                           

To make my card I chose the color combo, I don't use Stampin' Up inks or paper so I used colors close to them.  Build A Snowman Perfectly Clear Set from Stampendous  was used and colored with my new Inktense Pencils, that I used for the first time.  The snowflakes were embossed with Periwinkle Embossing Powder also from Stampendous and Caribbean Ocean Nuvo Crystal Drops were used to add dots around the snowman.  I hope this gives you some inspiration, you play along with us and you get a jump start on your Chirstmas cards!

Christmas Bling

It's time again for another challenge from 

Season's Greetings Challenge Blog!

Playing along with Season's Greetings Challenge Blog (which is Christmas all year long) is a great way to get a head start on your Christmas cards, in a relaxed fashion and not in a rush!
The theme for Challenge #3, is as always "Anything Goes" or you can use the optional twist "Wet & or Dry Embossing."

After you check out how my card was made, be sure to go and see what the other talented Designers have for you today!!

This month I picked to use "Anything Goes" to make my glittery my glittery card.

Here is how it was made;
1.  I diecut gold glitter paper with the Holly Die from Stampendous and glued it to a slightly larger white panel that had the center sponged with green ink.
2.  I added red rhinestones for the holly berries and wrapped the bottom with red and white striped twine.  This was then popped up on a red top folding card.
3.  The sentiment was stamped with VersaFine Onyx Black Ink and embossed with clear embossing powder, on a white frame diecut using Fitted Frames B from Stampendous and layered onto a larger red frame.  This was glued to the top of the card.

Christmas Love

Hi and welcome to my first post as a Design Team Member for the new
Season's Greetings Challenge Blog!

It's Christmas all year long, so whether you're a procrastinator or not you'll want to join in on these challenges.  At the end of the year you'll already have a bunch of your Christmas cards done!

I'm on team Kangaroo and we post the 2nd Tuesday of the month and team Koala posts a new challange the 4th Tuesday of the month if you're in Australia.  Since I'm in the USA and Season's Greetings posts from Australia, my posts will go live at 3 pm the day before which will be the 2nd Monday of each month at 3:00 pm.

Here's how I made my card;
1.  Diecut and oval from a white panel a little smaller than a card.
2.  Stamp the panel with Peppermints Plenty from with VersaMark ink.  Emboss with white embossing powder and sponge with Fire Brick Distress Ink. After sponging, wipe off the embossing powder to remove ink from the embossed area.
3.  Center your panel on a white card and with a pencil put a couple of marks around the opening so when you remove the panel, you will know where to stamp your image.
4.  Stamp Candy Can Kiss from Stampendous, on your card in the enter of the pencil marks with Onyx Black VersFine ink.
5.  Color image with Prisma colored pencils and use decorative chalks to shade around the image with blue.
6.  For the snow, I sprinkled Spoonful of Snow embossing powder at the bottom of the image and wiped off the snow from the image with a brush.  The embossing powder was then heated from underneath the paper so it wouldn't blow off.
7. Foam tape was placed on the back side of the Peppermints Plenty panel and attached to the stamped card.
8.  Merry Christmas as stamped on a small tag, tied with cord and popped up on the card.
