Hello! I finished my 2013 Christmas Cards for the year! Yeah! Now I get to take a month off before the challenge starts up again in January 2014. As most of you already know, I play the Christmas Card Challenge on Splitcoaststampers where we make Christmas Cards all year long so that were not stressed out making cards at the last minute in December. I make four cards a month so that I'll have about fifty at the end of the year. Today is the deadline for getting the November cards done and posted, and I made it in the nick of time!
For my cards this month, I used all little sweet dollar images from Studio G. I kept all my designs Clean and Simple as November is a very busy month for me due to my retail job.
For my first card, I kept it really Clean and Simple and tried to add some impact with some sparkle. The image was stamped in the lower left corner of a textured white paper. I colored it with Copics and put Flower Soft on the base for the image to simulate snow and then added green adhesive crystals for ornaments and a clear crystal snowflake for a tree topper. It's a little hard to see in the photograph, but I also stamped snowflakes with Versamark on the rest of the white space, and sprinkled it with a clear glitter. It's quite pretty in real life.
For my second card, I used this sweet bird image. I stamped him three times and popped him up on dimensionals. I put Liquid Applique on his Santa hat. All the papers are very old and from my scrap heap.
For my next card, I used some funky Christmas paper from my stash and a sketch from Verve (VLVMAR2013).
I put Liquid Applique on the birds hat and pink Stickles on the present. I also stamped the present twice and popped it up on dimensionals.
My last card uses a sketch from MFT (MFTGUESTDTO413). I used Flower Soft again for the snow, glitter ribbon, adhesive crystals and a felt snowflake. I colored the tree on the star in with a silver glitter pen.
Have a great day! Amy
Love them all, they are built along the CAS design and are quite delightful!
