Sunday Christmas Card Challenge #39

Presents?  Did someone mention presents?  Okay, so I love presents and I love the inspiration photo for this week's Sunday Christmas Card Challenge.  It's all about bright, cheerful presents!  I'm not fond of green but I do love the dark, rich greens such as the new Mossy Meadow.  Paired with the Pistachio Pudding Designer Series Paper from All Abloom and Gold Sequins, makes for a lovely Christmas present.

Sunday Christmas Card Challenge #35

Wow!  Another week has come and gone and they just seem to keep getting busier and busier.  I'm so glad I'm making a Christmas card a week so I can stay on top of that holiday project.  This week's Christmas Card Challenge is 'anything goes.'  For this one, I pulled out one of my favorite retired Stampin' Up!® stamp sets, Bells & Boughs, and did a little bit of paper piecing.  I stamped the first image on Whisper White using Mossy Meadow ink.  Then, I stamped the same image on Strawberry Slush card stock and cut around the poinsettias.  Once cut I glued them to the image on the white card stock, added some embellishments (I love that Mossy Meadow Stitched Satin Ribbon) and this is the finished card.

One of the things I did differently, is stamp a sentiment on the inside of the card.  Usually, I simply hand write  a note but this year, I'm changing things up a bit.  Instead of writing a mini book in each card, I'm adding a sentiment along with a one sentence personal note. 

Stamp Sets:  Gorgeous Grunge, Bells & Boughs (retired), God's Blessings (retired); Inks:  Mossy Meadow, Blackberry Bliss; Card Stock:  Whisper White, Mossy Meadow, Strawberry Slush; Accessories & Tools:  Labels Collection Framelits, Scalloped Tag Topper Punch, 3/8" Mossy Meadow Stitched Satin Ribbon, 2013-2015 In Color Sequins, Pearl Basic Jewels, Tim Holtz Alterations Stripes Embossing Folder (Sizzix), Mini Glue Dots, SNAIL, Dimensionals

Watercooler Challenge 3

It's time for another Watercooler Challenge.  This time it's a sketch.  I grabbed my Mossy Meadow and had fun mixing up some of my favorite stamp sets.  I really love that 'you' from the Work of Art stamp set.  As I turned on the lamps for my light tent, one of them burned out so my photo is a little on the dark side.  Those things just seem to happen when you least expect. 

Stamp Sets:  Kinda Eclectic, Work of Art, Gorgeous Grunge; Inks:  Blushing Bride, Pistachio Pudding, Mossy Meadow, Strawberry Slush; Card Stock:  Mossy Meadow, Very Vanilla, All Abloom Designer Series Paper Stack; Accessories & Tools:  Postage Stamp Punch, 1" Square Punch, 3/8" Mossy Meadow Stitched Satin Ribbon, Rhinestone Basic Jewels, Mini Glue Dots, Dimensionals
