Christmas Card Challenges #36 - Anything Goes

Good morning friends.  It is time for a new challenge at Christmas Card Challenges and this week it is "Anything Goes", of course it has to be Christmas.

This is a quick and simple card.  I used MFT Whip Cream CS for the base and oval panel embossed with a Darice Snowflake EF and sponged light blue ink over the embossed snowflakes.  The DSP is some older retired SU Christmas paper and the mats are SU Real Red CS.  The snowman and sentiment are stickers from Echo Park Jingle All The Way.  I mounted them with foam tape for more dimension.

Now check out all the fabulous cards by my teammates over at Christmas Card Challenges.  I hope you will join us this week.

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day.
Happy Stamping,
JoAnn

Christmas Greetings

 I decided to make a Christmas card with the Viva La Verve Oct 2013 Week 4 sketch.   I used SU Whisper White and Early Espresso CS.  The DSP is from Echo Park's Very Merry Christmas 6x6 pad.  I cut the banners and mats with MFT's Fishtail Flags Stax and Fishtail Flags Layers Stax Die-namics.  I stamped the scalloped frame from Verve's Sweet On You in SU Always Artichoke ink and the greeting from Verve's Bright Spirits in SU Cherry Cobbler ink and then cut it out by hand, and mounted it with foam tape.  The ribbon is SU Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding.

I am also linking my card to Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge #148 - Music

Happy 4th of July and a Card for SC443

Happy 4th of July to you all!

Happy 237th Birthday America!
And I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me.
And I'd gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today.
Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land God bless the U.S.A

I borrowed the above photo and sentiment from Joan's Gardens blog HERE. I love that song and it expresses my sentiments exactly.

Here is my card for the current sketch challenge at Splitcoast Stampers. I flipped the sketch sideways so I could use this cute (new to me) stamp image from Inkyantics Heart Benton. I got it at StampFest in Orlando this past weekend for the purpose of sending cards to OWH for our service men & women to send home to their families. It will go in a box I am mailing out tomorrow.

I stamped Benton on X-Press It Blending CS and colored him with Copics.  The sentiment is from the same set and is stamped in SU Choc. Chip ink on some ledger DSP from Echo Park's This & That. The other DSP is from MME Collectable-Unforgettable.  I matted all the papers with SU Choc. Chip CS and added them to a card base of Canvas Corp Heavy Weight White CS.  The image panel is mounted with foam tape.
