Monochromatic Christmas

 

Happy Wednesday and welcome to October's Christmas Craft Creations challenge. This month the theme is "Monochromatic"

I won a challenge at CCC a few months ago, and my prize was a set of snowflake dies from Picket Fence Studios...these are 3 of the 5 snowflakes in the die set. So pretty! I used the sketch from 52 Christmas Card Throwdown as my inspiration and I finished the centers off with some silver gems. I rotated my card to account for the larger snowflakes :)

I am entering my card into the following challenges:

52 Christmas Card Throwdown - Sketch

The Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge - Anything Goes (Week 2)

A Place to Start - Anything Goes

Lil Patch of Crafty Friends - Anything Goes

We hope you will join us for our Monochromatic challenge this month. Click HERE to pop on over to the challenge blog for all the details on how to link up and to check out all the other amazing inspiration from our amazing DT. Cheers!

Krafty Chicks Challenge #683 {All Occasions}

Happy 'Krafty Chicks' Thursday everyone! Today, it's my turn to play your challenge hostess and this week it's our ALL OCCASIONS week!  

KCC #683 {All Occasions}

This week, the creative door is wide open - you can do any occasion you'd like...birthday, anniversary, baby, sympathy, etc. So fun! :) 

Sympathy cards are ones that I just never have on hand. So, I decided to do one this week. I CASE'd the idea from Frenchie Stamps - she called it the "Poloroid Technique." Here's a close up:

I used the gorgeous stamp set In The Country for the image and the sentiment came from Peaceful Moments set.

Happy Wednesday everyone! I am so excited to let you all in on a secret I've been keeping for over a month!

For my card, I dug out some of my metallic silver paper and red metallic thread and created this CAS warm winter wishes card. I do apologize for the pictures - metallic anything is extremely hard to photograph. Here's a close up:
