Sunday Christmas Card Challenge #45

Hi everyone.  It's Sunday and that means it's time for a new challenge.  This week you can make a holiday or Christmas card, which is the only requirement for this challenge, or you can add the optional challenge of layering it up.  We'd like to see lots of dimension.

For my card, I took some Elegant Eggplant and added a layer of All Is Calm Designer Series Paper.  I really like how the Lost Lagoon looks with the Elegant Eggplant.  To add even more sparkle, I added a rhinestone in the center of each sequin.

 
Stamp Set:  Holiday Home (sentiment); Ink:  Lost Lagoon; Card Stock:  All Is Calm Designer Series Paper, Elegant Eggplant, Whisper White; Accessories & Tools:  Frosted Sequins, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, SNAIL Adhesive, Stampin' Trimmer

We'd love to have you join us this week for our Christmas Card Challenge.  You can find all the details for the challenge HERE.

It isn't often that I make anything resembling Halloween but the images from the Holiday Home stamp set were perfect for the Paper Players sketch challenge.  Funny thing is, it's very similar to the design Sandy Mathias did and that was not intentional on my part.  I didn't see hers until after I had mine all done.  One of the things I purposefully do when I enter a challenge, is not look at the projects from the design team until after I have mine done. Interesting how we can see the same thing in a sketch and come up with a slightly different look.

The Paper Players 212

Fall is my favorite time of the year.  I love the changing colors of the trees, the cool, crisp evenings and the huge beautiful harvest moons.  Consequently, I loved the challenge this week at The Paper Players.  It's a Happy Fall, Y'all theme challenge.

The leaves are from the new For All Things stamp set and I fussy cut them so they looked more 3-dimensional.  And, that tag...it's one of the little houses from the Holiday Home Framelits Dies. 

Stamp Set:  For All Things; Inks:  Baked Brown Sugar, Hello Honey, Real Red, Tangelo Twist; Card Stock:  Crumb Cake, Crisp Cantaloupe, Very Vanilla; Accessories & Tools:  Honeycomb Embossing Folder, Circles Collection Framelits, Holiday Home Framelits, Early Espresso Baker's Twine, Button (from my stash), Glue Dots, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive, Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine

All Stampin' Up!® Product unless otherwise noted.
