Merry Christmas - Color Dare #594

This is my Design Team project for ColorMyHeart Color Dare #594 "Six Pack" and decided to do a Christmas card using the Scarlet, Pine and Sapphire colors. Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmaking #43 Sketch was perfect for a variety of patterned papers and in my Christmas stash found a 6" paper packet of complementary patterns with colors primarily very close to scarlet and pine and decided to us sapphire for my bordering of each panel.

 


While looking through my circle dies came across the Stitched Circle Tree Die, chose one of the papers and because the way the die cut I was able to cut the square around it giving me one cut for the circle/square focal point and then backed with the sapphire cardstock for the sky and border. Since I had my curved sentiments stamp set out for the card made previous I chose the Merry Christmas one for the curve. There was one problem, it wasn't following the same curve as the Tree Die snow mound but the stamp was flexible enough to change the curve.


Used the scrap snowflake paper left over from the background cut and adhered as a border on the inside of card base.  

Please hop on over and join us at Color Dare's Color Board #594 and check out the Design Teams inspiration, and then let us see what you create... hope to see you there.  And there are still a couple days left for the March BYSHC #43 Sketch challenge.

Warm Wishes - Double Trouble Challenge "Christmas in July" Stars/Stripes

This is my Design Team card for Double Trouble Challenge #142 "Christmas in July" partnering with with Jingle Belles Challenge "Stars and/or Stripes" using the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #531 with CTMH "Seas & Greetings" paperpack with non-traditional colors.  

It is in the 100's today in Arizona so I was still feeling the heat of summer and was not feeling Christmas until I linked HERE to listen to Christmas Carols. However, as I was going through my stash of patterned papers, "Seas & Greetings" was perfect for my "Christmas in July" requirement.  There was a striped patterned paper and a star (star fish that is) to meet the Jingle Belles requirement "stars and/or stripes". The banner was cut with a tag die, layered and sentiment stamped on banner with black ink.  The Christmas palm tree, beach sign and star fish stickers were adhered with 3D foam tape on the banner for dimension.  




Used the same background patterned papers to border the inside of the card and the photo shows the dimension and layers of the images.

Christmas Greetings - Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge #18 "Masculine"

Here is a Christmas card I made for Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge #18 "Masculine" using the CTMH "Spruced Up" patterned papers and stickers. For my masculine card I chose a sangria patterned paper, distressed the edges, adhered to sangria cardstock and then to white card base. 


The cup was a die... one was cut using a striped patterned paper and a second in sangria cardstock layered for shadow.  Down the center of cup applied 3D foam tape and along each side glue to give the cup a rounded dimension and adhered to background. Decided to fill the cup with spruce and pinecone stickers with different levels using 3D foam tape.  Needed something more to fill the cup... added another small leaf sticker and fussy-cut a birdie with spruce and berries from another patterned paper from packet and applied with 3D thin tape in cup.  

Stamped sentiment on the corner and smudged some of the ink on my cup so added another sticker of small trees to the cup.  I liked the look because it broken up the stripes a little and gave it a more customized cup.  

Lined the inside border with the striped patterned paper and added a small border of a sticker design along the edge to soften the stripe.
