Using some scraps of retired CTMH paper I found while clearing the dining room table for Thanksgiving dinner, I made up this Christmas card to add to the stack waiting to be addressed and sent out. I fussy cut the stamped ornaments and hung them from the card with gold embroidery thread. I specifically put 8 dots of red glitter gel on the flowers of the DP so I could enter the card in the CASual Fridays Challenge #121, which requires that you use 8 of something on your card.
(stamps, glitter gel and papers are all CTMH products) |
I am also entering the card in the following challenges:
Vintage Stamping Challenge #14 - Traditional Christmas Time
Stampotique Designers Challenge #127 - Early Christmas
Crafting by Designs Challenge - Christmas/Winter
Crafty Little Fairies Challenge - Classic Christmas (Red, Green, Gold)
Charisma Cardz Challenge #46 - Christmas
Totally Papercrafts Challenge #195- Ho Ho Holidays
Color My Heart Color Dare #71 - Ponderosa Pine and Cranberry
Monday night Joyce had a 12 card workshop featuring the new Sparkle and Shine paper from Close to My Heart and the chipboard elements
that match.
Here are the 12 cards we made.
We used all the pieces in the compliments package with the exception of those shown below. I'm sure I'll find a home for them.
It was a whirlwind 2 hours of fun. Thanks, Joyce.
