Christmas Blessings for JUGS #266 Chalkboard Technique

I decided to make a Christmas card with the challenge at Just Us Girls #266.

I tried several different DSP before settling on the green one from Pebbles Welcome Christmas 6x6 pad.  The red is some scrap paper I had.  I cut the black from DCWV Chalkboard Stack with a Spellbinder's A2 Divine Eloquence die.  The sentiment is from Verve Christmas Blessings, the star border from Verve Borderline and the holy is from Inspired by Stamping Festive Frames.  I stamped them all in Versamark ink and used white embossing powder; then I smeared some white ink around to look like chalk dust.  I added some gold rhinestones to the stars and mounted this panel with foam tape.  The card base and mat are MFT Smooth White CS.

Thanks for stopping by.  I appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment.

Happy Stamping,

Season's Greetings for CSAYL

Happy Friday friends.  It is time for a new challenge at Christmas Stampin' All Year Long.  Our sponsor is Anne's Digital Art and I am using her Christmas Grapevine Wreath.

I printed the image on X-Press It Blending Card and colored with Promarkers.  I cut it out by hand.  I then added a SU Real Red bow cut out with MFT Winter Wreath die.  The sentiment is from Festive Frames by Inspired by Stamping, and cut with MFT Pierced Fishtail Flags die.  The wreath and sentiment are mounted with foam tape.  The DSP is from an older Martha Stewart mat pad.  The card base is MFT Smooth White CS.

I hope you will play along with us this week and check out all the great cards by my teammates over at Christmas Stampin' All Year Long.

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a great weekend.

Happy Stamping,

Peace on Earth for Merry Monday

This is my card for Merry Monday Christmas challenge #122 to use black, gold and silver.  I used SU Gold Fancy Foil Designer Vellum for the gold stripes and attached it to the card front.  The black scallop mat is cut with MFT Blueprints 1 dies, and the silver panel and image panel are cut with MFT Pierced Rectangle dies.  The main image is from a Hero Arts set and the sentiment is from an Inspired by Stamping set. Both are stamped with Versamark and embossed with black embossing powder.  The black scallop panel is mounted with foam tape.

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a Blessed Sunday.

Happy Stamping,

Merry Monday Christmas Challenge #112 - Santa Puppy

Good Sunday morning everyone. Hope you are having a wonderful weekend.

I have made a card for the Merry Monday #112 challenge to use a Santa hat on your card.

I have used this adorable Santa Puppy from Cottage Cutz.  

I used SU Whisper White and Real Red CS.  I die cut all the pieces of the puppy, added a little shading (which looks darker than it is in the photo) and adhered him to the panel with foam tape. The panel is embossed with SU Decorative Dots EF.  His nose section and the stocking are mounted with foam tape also.  The sentiment is from an older Inspired By Stamping Festive Frames set. The DSP is from my paper stash.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful day.

Happy Stamping,
