As you probably already know, I participate in the Christmas Card Challenge on SCS where we make Christmas Cards all year long so were not scrambling in November/December to get them done. I committed to making 5 Christmas Cards a month, I've already shown you three for the month of October, so here are the last two.
The first one is for the Penny Black All Sorts Challenge Blog. This month's challenge is 'It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas'. I actually used a regular Penny Black stamp from 'Critter Party' to make my Christmas Card because I thought the image would work for Christmas too! The frame and embossed background are one of the new Cuttlebug Dies which cuts, embosses, and pierces all at once! I love them! I put Stickles all over the raised dots on the embossed paper.
Here is a close up of this cute image.
My second card uses a digital image from 'Fred, she Said'. The background is also embossed with a Cuttlebug folder and then swiped with a white ink pad. The design on the right is retired SU! embossed with white embossing powder. I also added adhesive sequins.
I hope you enjoyed looking at my Christmas Cards today! Only 5 more cards to go and I'm done for the year! Yippee!
Have a great day! Amy

These are beautiful Amy!! How clever to use that stamp from critter party, you definitely made it look so christmas-y.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute second card too. Love that FSS image and how you layered it on that beautiful shape.
I'm so happy you played along at Penny Black @ All sorts this month. Good luck with the drawing!
Hi Amy
ReplyDeleteTwo super cards, both so different.
I especially like the first one, the simplicity of the design and colours makes it truly elegant and shows of the versatility of the stamps.
Thank you for sharing with us at Penny Black at Allsorts this month, good luck and look forward to seeing what you create for us next month.
