Merry Christmas

Yay for Tuesday!  It’s our new challenge at Use It Tuesday this week.  Our theme this week is All About Christmas/Hanukkah.  Create a project using some stash items with this theme and upload it to our blog!  We would love to see what you create.

Here is my card for you.  I got the idea from a Create magazine from last year I believe.  I loved the look of it and knew I wanted to try it.

I didn’t use any DP this time around, just some red, green and white cardstock.  The sentiment is from my stash…Hero Arts.  The tree was created using a Making Memories Twinkle bauble set from last year and some button and yarn from my stash.  A really simple card and I hope you like it.  Don’t forget to stop by the blog and see what the rest of the DT has created for you.

Christmas with a twist

That’s the theme for the challenge on Stamptacular Sunday Challenge.  A Christmas card with no red or green.  It’s actually not as hard as you would think and it makes a nice change from all the traditional color.  I used some light blue and cream cardstock from my stash as well as a sheet of christmas paper from a stack pack I picked up at Michael’s last year.  The images were stamped for me by my friend Lisa so I’m not sure which stamp set they are from.  I colored them with my Copics (E55, E35, B00), and inked the edges with Tim Holtz’s distress ink in Vintage Photo.  The snowflakes are from Making Memories Winter Blossom set and it’s a MM snowflake brad in the centre.  The ribbon is just some that I picked up at the dollar store.
