Happy Halloween! I hate to admit it, but I am kind of sick of the Halloween cards and treats :( So I did a couple of Christmas Challenges for today instead! The first card is for the Whiff of Joy Challnge blog...this weeks challenge was to use red and green. I pulled out Whiff of JoyCharlotte riding her adorable reindeer which I haven't stamped in a while and made her all nice and sparkly! I used some of the 6x6 Figgy paper from Basic Grey that I still have from last year and paired it with Riding Hood Red and Always Artichoke...not really bright enough for me...but I have to get out of my box some.
The poinsettia flowers are by Making Memories, and I added some stickles to them and to the brads in their centers....as well as to the brad that I added to my ribbon and Charlotte's earmuffs :) I got to use some of my Spellbinders dies again...the double end tag and my brackets that shamefully had never been out of the package :( The sentiment is from one of Amy R Stampsnewest sets...Christmas Sentiments.
Supplies: Stamps: Charlotte and Reindeer (Whiff of Joy); Christmas Sentiments (Amy R Stamps) Paper: Always Artichoke, Riding Hood Red, Chocolate Chip (SU!); white (PTI); Figgy (Basic Grey) Ink: Palette Noir, Riding Hood Red (SU!); Desert Sand (CTMH) Accessories: Double end tag die, brackets die (Spellbinders); poinsettias, brads (Making Memories); Candy Cane stickles, Ranger spec ed stickles; markers (Copic); riding hood red tafetta (SU!)
Here's another Christmas card for you, this one using the other 2 new sets that Amy Rjust released at All That Scrapsthis week! The ornaments were created with the Build a Holiday set....it is absolutely perfect for paper-piecing....Amy was reading our minds!! I stamped the circles on different pieces of the Figgy paper, then the tops on some goldish tone Figgy paper and adhered them both to the squares. Finally I added a touch of stickles to the ornaments. (This card is based on the SCS sketch this week)
The greeting is actually one that is meant for the inside...thus the name of the set...Christmas Card verses, but I wanted something bigger for this card so I put it on the front. And let me tell you...this is THE set you have ALWAYS wanted! How many times have you looked for the right sentiment for the inside when addressing and filling out Christmas cards? Forever! But no longer! The set is here and it rocks!! Click HEREto see the sets. AND they are on sale today!!
So happy haunting tonight and have a great weekend! Thanks for visiting! -Cyndi
