CASE-ing Christmas Challenge #12

Hiya!

This is my second post of the day.  Please scroll down to see my second jingle belles challenge card.

It's time for another CASE-ing Christmas challenge.  This week we're CASE-ing Pat's card.  I love the penguin.  Too cute!

And here is what I created. 

I focused on the layout again, for this card.  You know how I love my non-traditional Christmas colors, so I went for it again.  This ribbon from Pretty Pink Posh is gorgeous!  I love how it ties as well.  Simple, and quick, and another card for my stash.  I'm a happy girl. :)

I can't wait for you to see what the other designers have created for you today.  They're all pretty great.  Hopefully,  you'll get the chance to go check them out, and maybe play along.  I'm off to work, and then we're headed to Kansas City for the weekend.   I can't wait to see Maroon 5. :-)

Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Friday!

I'm excited that today is Friday, and I get to sleep in tomorrow and Sunday, sort of.  This afternoon, my daughter, her BFF and I are headed to Kansas City for the Maroon 5 concert tomorrow.  I cannot wait to see Mr. Adam Levine, up close and personal.  Anyway, onto my card for today.

It's the second week of the embossing challenge over at the jingle belles blog.  Here is what I made.

I wanted to keep this card simple as well, again, focusing on the embossing.  I included both wet and dry for this card too.  The Nativity Border die from Taylored Expressions was perfect for this card, and it really looks lovely set against the dark blue background.  I wanted to add a bit of "something" to my card, but wasn't sure what.  Then I decided to stamp the smallest star from the Verve Star of Wonder set, and then cut it out.  For some added "pop", I added some gold Wink of Stella, and called it done.  Simple and elegant.  I think I will make a few more of these, in different colors, and send them to the people in my bible study group.  I know they'd love them.

Again, Stephanie and Lauren have created two gorgeous cards for this week.  You should head over to the blog to see what them.  They're nothing short of amazing.

Have a wonderful day!

Masculine Birthday

Hola!

This is my second post for today.  Please scroll down for my first jingle belles guest designer card. :)

This is the last of the cards I made last weekend, and hope I made it in time, for a few challenges I saw.  I tried to push myself to create another masculine card, since I don't do well with them. lol 

Here is my card.

I inked my embossing folder, and love how the Blueprint embossing folder looks a bit distressed on my paper.  I embossed the star with some silver embossing powder to give it a bit of pop, and added my sentiment.  This is one of my favorite stamp sets.  Paper Smooches has the cutest fonts and images.  I'm going to send this to R's son, for his birthday.  I hope he likes it.  I am going to submit this for the following challenges.
