2012 Christmas Card Challenge Week #22

Hola!!

I hope today finds you in good health, and good spirits. 

It's Sunday, which brings us to another Christmas Card challenge.  This weeks challenge is to use Punches.  For all of the details, click HERE.


The idea in my head would have produced a card that looked like a gift wrapped Christmas present.  Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make the idea work to my liking.  I wanted to keep the big, bold bow though, so this is what I did with it instead.  I've had this gorgeous ribbon in my stash for over a year, and have never used it.  It took me a while to get the bow somewhat decent, but I'm happy with it.  I like the teal and rust with the cream color combo.  I wasn't sure how it would turn out, but it's pretty cool.  It's very different for me.  I'm going to enter this into the following challenges as well.

Dare To Be Sassy Thursday #122 - Christmas with a sentiment.
Christmas Stamping All Year Long #8 - Anything Goes
Jingle Belles - Celebrate Earth Day (Recycle - use your scraps.  The patterned paper and cream punched piece were both scraps on my desk)
52 Christmas Card Throwdown - Embellishment Challenge #4: Buttons or Bows
Crafty Hazelnuts Christmas Challenge #70 - Sentiment without the word Christmas.

The cards posted at the CCC blog today are fabulous, as usual.  I do hope you'll head over and check them out, and maybe, just maybe get started on your Christmas cards for this year.  You think?

Have a great day!
Hugs!

2012 Christmas Card Challenge Week #21

Hey ya'll!

I had this post scheduled to go live, on time, but now that I'm home, I realize that the post didn't work.  Are any of you guys having Blogger issues like this too?  I'm curious if it has anything to do with the new look.  Anyway, I guess it will all work out once they fix all the bugs.

I have a new Christmas card to share with you today.  The challenge for this week is a Recipe challenge.  For all of the details, click HERE.


Here is the card I made, using the above recipe.  I apologize for the washed out look.  Not sure what happened there.


I love these Webster's Pages papers.  They're so pretty together, and I love the vintage feel to them.  I don't do vintage often, or hardly at all actually.  I think this card looks really nice with all of the elements put together.  Another card down for this year.  I've combined the following challenges in my card.

Crazy 4 Challenges #133 - Add black.
Mark's Finest Papers #104 - Stitching
52 Christmas Card Throwdown #4 - Snowflakes
Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge #69 - Lots of Layers

I hope you'll head over to the CCC blog to see what the other designers have created for you today.  They're lovely, as usual.

Hugs!
