Merry Monday #120 - Skis, Skates, or Sled

Good morning everyone.  I hope you are having a wonderful weekend.  I got my card done for the Merry Monday #120 Christmas Challenge - to use Skis, Skates, or Sleds on your Christmas card.  

Here is my card:

I am using this cute "Sledding Bear" digi image from QKR Stampede.  I printed him on X-Press It Blending Card and colored him with Promarkers.  I drew a sloping hill and sponged some clouds in the background.  He is cut out with MFT's Pierced Rectangle dies.  I had to put it back in the die and cut a little off of one end as it was too long, but it worked.  The red snowflake is a Martha Stewart punch, and I added a white enamel dot to the center.  I used an older Deconstructed Sketch #160 for my layout.  The DSP is from Echo Park's Very Merry Christmas 6x6 pad.  The mats are SU Choc. Chip and the card base is MFT's Smooth White CS.

Thanks for stopping by.  Enjoy your day.

Happy Stamping,

Christmas Stampin' All Year Long

Happy Friday everyone.  It is time for another challenge at Christmas Stampin' All Year Long and this week our sponsor is QKR Stampede. 

I have used the adorable "Sledding Bear" digital image from our sponsor.  I think he is so cute.  Here is my card:

I printed the image on X-Press It Blending Card and colored him with Promarkers.  I also drew the little snow hill behind him and sponged some SU Bashful Blue ink for the sky.  I cut him out with the MFT Stitched Circle Die-namics and Circle Stax Die-namics for the Real Red mat and mounted with foam tape.  The sentiment is from SU Christmas Punch (retired).  I used my Real Red marker and only did the sentiment, it actually has a bracket around it also.  I used the 1-3/8" and 1-1/2" circle punches, it is mounted with foam tape also.  The DSP is from an older DCWV Christmas Matstack.  The cardbase is MFT Smooth White CS.

Now check out all the fabulous creations by my fellow Design Team members over on the CSAYL blog.  I hope you will play along with us this week.

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you have a great weekend.

Happy Stamping,
