A CAS Quickie Christmas Card

Hello and welcome to my blog.  Today we begin a new challenge at MMM- Make My Monday - I have chosen #267 A CAS (Clean and Simple) Quickie Christmas Card. To see the inspiration from the design team, please visit the blog.

I began with a scallop edge white 6" card. I lightly brushed the lower left side with Broken China DI. I stamped the robin directly onto the card, then again onto a spare piece of card. which I coloured with Promarkers.. I then fussy cut the robin, decoupaged onto the initial stamp except for the legs, these were coloured directly onto the card. Small snowflake stamps randomley added along with a greeting. All stamps are from a Katy Sue set of stamps. Thanks for your visit. Take care.

R is for Ribbon

 Hello and welcome to my blog. Today we begin a new letter for our Alphabet Challenges. Billie A has chosen R is for Ribbon. To see the inspiration from our design team, please visit the blog. We look forwarad to seeing your cards with some ribbon. 

I dry embossed a piece of white card using a Dreamees Snowflake embossing folder. I added some silver and white ribbon with a tied bow. The sentiment is from my stash of collected sentiments. I added a few sequins to the embossed snowflakes. The panel is raised on 3d foam pads. Another and maybe my last card for Christmas for 2025, maybe?

Hello, thanks for your visit, today at Pearly Sparkles, Larelyn has chosen for the month of December,

Silver Bells on a Silver Card. Please visit the blog to see the einspiation by the design team.

For my design team card, I began with a white card added to a silver glitter sheet around the edges, then adhered this to a Silver Mirri card. This formed the base for my embellishments. The Bells stamp is by Woodware Stamps, heat embossed with Wow! Silver Bells embossing powder, along with the sentiments from the same stamp set. I added cryatal gems to decorate and embellish. It may not look so, but it is definely shiny, sparkly and glittery. Take care and have fun. 

#266 Christmas Trees

Hello, thanks for your visit. Today, we at Make My Monday, begin our next challenge. We thank Heather for choosing #266 Christmas Trees. Please visit our blog to see the wonderful inspiration from our design team.  

I began by stamping the tree from a Creative Expressions Christmas stamp set, created by Sheena Douglass, yes, it's an old stamp, but my favourite. I coloured it with Promarkers, using a Quickie glue pen then sprinkled with Crystal Glamour Dust. I embossed the front of a C6 card, then cut an oval aperture. I finally added the greeting, tied with white ribbon. Take care and best wishes for the festive season. 

 

Poinsettia

 Hello, thanks for popping by. Today we begin our challenge for December at Sparkles Christmas Challenges, we thank Melissa for choosing #179 Poinsettia. A world wide favourite Christmas plant.  Please visit our blog to see the wonderful inspiration by the design team. 

I added a gold Mirri mat with a dark red striped paper for the background. For the main image I added a sheet with Poinsettias from a Hunkydory Little Book  - Christrmas. I then fussy cut from another two sheets to add a total of three layers of the poinsettia arrangement, adhered with 3d foam pads.  I know it looks flat but not in real life, there is shape and depth. Have fun and I hope you all enjoy the festive period.
