Watercooler Wednesday Challenge #154 - Judy's "All About Christmas" Challenge

Wednesday is back and it's time for a new Watercooler Wednesday Challenge.  This week Judy is hosting our "All About Christmas" Challenge.  I love that we have a Christmas challenge in our lineup.  By the time Christmas comes around, I have most of the cards I need done for the year and all I have to do is get them ready to mail.  One of my hassle free Christmas projects.

For today's card, I played with the new Barn Door stamp set and Sliding Door Framelits Dies from Stampin' Up!  I have developed a thing for slider cards and this one was fun to put together.  I must admit that there was a bit of a learning curve and certain things I'll do differently when I make my next one.


Stamp Sets:  Barn Door, Christmas Magic, Holiday; Inks:  Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Poppy Seed; Cardstock:  Cherry Cobbler, Emerald Envy, Mint Macaron, Sugar Cube; Dies:  Evergreens Dies (Taylored Expressions), Sliding Door Framelits Dies (Stampin' Up!); Other:  Weathered Embossing Folder (Taylored Expressions), On The Right Track Discs (Taylored Expressions), Foam Adhesive Strips, Nuvo White Blizzard Glitter Drops

  1. Delightful card Marsha. I've been looking at that bundle and wondering how easy or difficult it is and whether I would use it enough to warrant the purchase. Your card is inspiring. I love the colours you chose for the background and how the barn door keeps those pretty trees hidden until moved. Thanks for sharing this great card.

  2. I love that you used the Emerald Envy with your Cherry Cobbler, Marsha. You have the Christmas colours with a difference. Certainly I wouldn't have guessed the two colours would compliment each other so well. Love the way you've used that Barn Door bundle. Having the two sides to the card makes it feel as if you're getting double the card. Love it!

    1. Thanks, Heidi! I really like those colors together now that I've discovered that. And, I'm going to enjoy that Barn Door Bundle, too.
