Holiday Wishes - 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown

I have another card share for the 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown and it's a sketch challenge this week. When I was pulling my Counterfeit Kit I forgot to add a couple of sheet of Christmas Paper, but then I realized I had the red and white Wahsi Tape.

Since I didn't have my Unity Stamps put away I'm using them again. I stamped the tree onto white cardstock and cut it out.  I just didn't like the way it looked matted in cardstock so I decided to use vellum.  I cut the washi tape in half as it looked way to wide for my stamp.

Each card has a different color of rhinestones where the elements go and a red one for the tree topper. Instead of using paper on the inside as a border I just wrapped the washi tape around the white mat then stamped the "holiday wishes" sentiment inside.

Thanks for stopping by.

Christmas Candy - 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown

Well we are back in the deep freeze, actually it's colder than my freezer. It was -13 at 6:00 am this morning - BRRR.  I guess it's the perfect weather for posting another 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown Challenge card.

 

The challenge this week is Double Embossing.  I used the Designer Frame folder and cut it out.  I then inked my stamp with the Lime Pastel ink and used clear embossing power.

I did ink the edges of the pattern paper and added a little piece of a ribbon for the bow on the side of the frame. 

I also stamped on the mat inside with Lipstick Red ink and used more of the clear embossing powder.

Thanks for stopping by.

52 Christmas Card Challenge and Unity Friends with Flair

Happy Friday!  Well I missed the cut off time for the challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown but I'm still in time for the Friends with Flair Challenge.  The challenge was a Recipe Challenge {Monochromatic. CAS. Ribbon and Rhinestone}. I'm not sure I have the CAS part down.

I started by embossing the white cardstock and trimming it down so that I am really close to where the embossing starts.  For my stamped images I cut my squares at 1 1/4" then stamped and attached to the inside of the embossed piece. 

I left the inside plain and just inked around the edges. 

Thanks for stopping by.

'Tis the Season

The challenge at 52{Christmas} Card Throwdown is a sketch so I thought I would join in. I pulled out the Unity's October Kit of the Month {Oh Christmas Tree} to use one the sentiments.  The pattern paper is from a K&I Memories Kit and I'm sad to say I have a lot of it left - but I thought I would try to use it up on the Christmas Challenges, so here goes the first challenge. 

I started with  a partial sheet of the blue background paper and the already cut polka dot and striped paper.  I stamped the sentiment on a piece of white cardstock and punched it, then backed it with the same punch.  All of my edges are inked and I'm using a new ink pad so it's really juicy.

For the inside I added a white mat with a piece of  the background paper at the top.

Thanks for stopping by.
