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.

Spillin' the Tea - Christmas Craft Creations!

 

Happy Wednesday everyone! I am so excited to let you all in on a secret I've been keeping for over a month! I am thrilled to announce that I am now a Design Team member for Christmas Craft Creations and I couldn't be more pumped :) Christmas cards every month? Yes please - gets me ready for the holidays that ALWAYS sneak up on us so quickly.

Christmas Craft Creations is a monthly Christmas challenge with different themes each month. This month the theme is METALLICS. 

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:

For all the details on how to come play along, and to see all the cards from the rest of the Design Team, be sure to click HERE to head over to the challenge blog. Please remember to add our challenge badge (above) to your post for your chance to win!

A huge THANK YOU shout out once again to Charlotte and the rest of the team for having me - I am super excited to be sharing CCC challenges! Cheers!

Anything Goes at Krafty Chicks Challenge

Happy 'Krafty Chicks' Thursday everyone! 

Today, it's our Anything Goes challenge as there is an extra Thursday this month :) Our hostess is miss Diane and this one is always exciting as we get to see SO many different creations (not all necessarily cards) and the gallery is usually chalk-full of amazing creations! Before I get to my card, I'd like to send out a HUGE THANK YOU to Kimberly for being our amazing Guest Designer this month! Thanks again, girl!

KCC #679 {ANYTHING GOES}

This card was so fun to make. I got very inky and it took a little bit of time to stamp and die cut everything, but man - it was worth it. This card was CASE'd from Andrea Borries and I tweaked my colors just a bit to a more Fall palette. The stamp/die set is Flower Patch from Stampin' Up! So fun to get inky. 

Here's a close up of my card:

Thanks for stopping in today - be sure to hop on over to the blog to see what the rest of the Chicks have created. Cheers!
