Merry Monday Christmas Card Challenge #211

Happy Monday, we have a new Challenge for you for The Merry Monday Christmas Card Challenge. Colleen is our hostess and she wants us to use blue, gold, white/silver on a Christmas Card.

I went with a simple layered design for my card this week. I used my stitched due cuts then added some "flicks" of gold and silver to add sparkle to the panels. I stamped the sentiment then did the same with that layers. I added some foam tape to pop up it up.

Supplies: White and blue card stock, Verve - Peace on Earth, SSS stitched rectangles, Sheer Shimmer

Head over to the Merry Monday Christmas card blog and see what inspiration the Design Team has created and we would love for you to play along.

The Merry Makers are getting a break over the summer but we will be back in September. Check out the details on the MM Blog.

Happy Birthday to You

I am in the process of revamping my craft space in a big way. As of last weekend all my craft supplies are sitting in piles on every single piece of furniture in our family room.

Yesterday my husband asks for a couple of cards for next week... not sure how he missed that whole "disassembled" state, or the mess.

So last night I found a space in the middle of chaos to create a couple for cards, funny enough it has been the most productive I have been with crafts in weeks. I also found some forgotten paper that worked for what I needed.

I used simple layers for this card, I added a little accent twine and popped up the sentiment. It is CAS but works.

Supplies: White and gray cardstock, Designer Paper, Stamps and die cuts - Inspired by Stamping, twine.

Deepest Sympathy

I am sure my craft supplies should they be able to talk would scream foul at me. I have spend very little time in my treasured space over the past few months.

This is a card I created a couple of weeks ago and I have not had the time to post.

I used scraps I had in a pile but I am unsure of the designer. I stamped the image and sentiment then layered them. I finished the card by adding some twine and a button.

Hearthfelt Condolences

A quick post this morning. I had these scraps still on my desk from a card a few weeks ago. I decided on layers for the card. I added some texture to the cream panel then added some gray gems.

I did add a little foam tape between some of the panels to give it a little depth.

Supplies: Cream and gray cardstock, Designer Paper - Pebbles, Hot off the Press - Heartfelt Greetings, gems.

Merry Monday Christmas Card Challenge #208

Good Morning and Happy Monday, we have a new Challenge for you for The Merry Monday Christmas Card Challenge. Sue is our hostess and she wants us to Create a cute/fun Christmas card for a child.

This picture does not do this little guy justice, he has shimmery silver parts all over him. I stamped the image 3 times, once on the card stock to get the antenna. I then stamped it twice on DP, if you look close at the paper you will see stars all over it. I fussy cut the images then put foam tape between the layers.

I added foam tape between the top layer and the background DP then finished the card with the sentiment and some silver gems that are fit for a cute little robot.

Supplies: White card stock, Designer Paper - Simple Stories, Verve - Holiday Phrases and Birthday Bots, gems.
