Christmas Card Challenges #19

This week's Christmas Card Challenge offers up a photo full of presents under the tree.  For my card I stamped the evergreen from the Lovely As a Tree stamp set using Garden Green ink onto the top of a card base of Whisper White Thick cardstock.  The gift boxes are cut from Crumb Cake cardstock and are popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals.  The bows are made from Whisper White Baker's Twine that I colored with Real Red, Bermuda Bay and Blackberry Bliss inks.  The sentiment is stamped in Real Red using the sentiment from the Wondrous Wreath stamp set.  Then, I added three Real Red Home for Christmas Enamel Dots.

Sunday Christmas Card Challenges #19

This week's Christmas Card Challenge is all about travel.  Whether you go by boat, car, train, plane or sleigh to reach your Christmas destination, it's sure to be a fun trip.  The Traveler stamp set from Stampin' Up!® has one of my favorite train stamps.  I love to travel by train but it has been a long time since I've had the opportunity to do so.  It's a very simple design but I really like the way it turned out even with my little halo.  Yes, I know, but this is the only piece of this patterned paper I had, so I went with it.  Consider it the flag leaving flutters in the air!  :-)

Stamp Sets:  Joyous Celebrations (sentiment), Traveler; Inks:  Cherry Cobbler, Garden Green, Vintage Photo (Tim Holtz); Card Stock:  Cherry Cobbler, Vintage Christmas (My Mind's Eye); Accessories & Tools:  Postage Stamp Punch, Rhinestone Basic Jewels, Blending Tool, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive, Stampin' Trimmer
