Krafty Chicks Challenge 654: Christmas

Yeah, it's Thursday! Time for another great challenge from the Krafty Chicks Challenge Blog. Let's put the spotlight on Christmas this week!

Just a quick and easy card today. I played with the 52 Christmas Card Throwdown sketch challenge for March. And a little colouring fun with my Stampin' Blends.

I like to keep the inside of the card and the envelope just as CAS. Here I just added a strip of DSP to the inside and stamped the snowman.

Head on over to the Krafty Chicks Challenge Blog for more details about the challenge and for more inspiration for Christmas week from the Design Team. There's even a place to upload your project at the end. I hope you play along with us and show us what's happening in your craft space.

Krafty Chicks Challenge #650: Christmas

Yeah, it's Thursday! Time for another great challenge from the Krafty Chicks Challenge Blog. Let's put the spotlight on Christmas this week!

Honestly, it feels weird creating a Christmas card for this week. Maybe because I'm hoping for Spring to arrive quickly. I know there's still 6 weeks of winter left but with our warmer than usual temps lately, how can I not hope for spring? Everything is melting already.

I created this card following 52 Christmas Card Throwdown's current sketch challenge. This challenge uses lots of circles so why not use the circles Picture This die? Makes light work of adding a few circles. Once that was decided, I looked through my retired Christmas stamp sets since I only have one set that is currently in the Annual  Catalogue. And voila! 

Supplies I used:

• Timeless Tidings stamp set: retired
• Greatest Journey stamp set: 160588
  
• Thick Basic White card stock: 159229
• Mossy Meadow card stock: 133676
• Real Red card stock: 102482
  
• Heart Warming Hugs DSP: retired
  
• Mossy Meadow ink pad: 147111
  
• Stampin Cut & Emboss machine: 149653
• Picture This dies: 155559
• Greatest Journey dies: 160593
  
• Stitched Banner dies: non-Stampin' Up!
• Gold thread ribbon: retired
• Brushed Metallic Dots: 156506
  
• Stampin' Dimensionals: 104430
  

I like to keep the inside of the card and the envelope just as CAS.

Krafty Chicks Challenge #646: Christmas

Yeah, it's Thursday! Time for another great challenge from the Krafty Chicks Challenge Blog. Seems weird to be creating more Christmas card, didn't the season just finish?  Lol! But let's put the spotlight on Christmas this week anyway! We can have a head start.

I wasn't sure what I wanted to create for this week's Christmas challenge. I am done with that season. The tree was finally put away on Monday, all trace of the holiday is gone... except in the craft room. I went looking for a sketch. Found one at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown. Then for the colours, I played along with the Color Throwdown, not very Christmassy but I was determined to make it work.

Supplies I used:

• Dashing Deer stamp set: retired
  
• Polished Pink card stock: 155710
• Basic Black card stock: 121045
• Basic White card stock: 159229
• Gray Granite card stock: 146983
  
• Memento ink pad: 132708
• VersaMark ink pad: 102283
  
• Stampin Cut & Emboss machine: 149653
• Swirls & Curls Embossing Folder: retired
• Detailed Deer dies: retired
• Heat tool: 129053
  
• Black Embossing powder: 155554
  
• Stampin' Dimensionals: 104430
  

I like to keep the inside of the card and the envelope clean and simple. Here I added a card stock strip and stamped the small deer. I also embossed the envelope flap for more coordination.
