Day #24 of Beccy's Place Month of Holiday Cards

I love the Violet Vase on my card for Day #24 of Beccy's Place Month of Holiday Cards Challenge. It has a coating of CTMH Liquid Glass on it for a Very shiny look.

You'll find both the digi image and sentiment in Beccy's Digital Stamp set Blessings of the Season.

Day #23 of Beccy's Place Month of Holiday Cards

My friend, Mickey, has been helping me brainstorm to come up with something beginning with a "U" for Day #23 of Beccy's Place Month of Holiday Card Challenge. It's an unbelievably difficult letter. Our list included Underwear, Unicorn, Ugly Christmas Sweater, Uneven, Under the Mistletoe, Up on the Rooftop. Then, as I looked through the digital images I have from Beccy's Place, I came across the perfect "U".

Utensils,

a wooden spatula and spoon in the

Tied Up with String Digital Stamp Set.

I put a SU doily Under the image and used a wood stamp I purchased, maybe 10 years ago, at my very first stamp show for the sentiment. The patterned paper is from CTMH and is the flip side of the tree paper I used on yesterday's card. I picked up the paper glitter tape at My Favorite Things last winter. It's kind of an Unusual shade, but I think it works fine here.

Thanks, Mickey, for all your help.

Day #22 of Beccy's Place Month of Holiday Cards

It's Tuesday and time for another Alphabet Challenge at Beccy's Place Month of Holiday Cards, the letter "T".

Today I put a Tag with Twine on my card.

This cute Beccy's Place snowman digital image is holding Two poinsettias. The Tag is made from Tan Tree paper from CTMH.

I stamped a Tiny sentiment on a punched circle. And everything is mounted on a piece of shiny green paper, embossed with Trees and snowflakes.

Day #21 of Beccy's Place Month of Holiday Cards

After a night of much needed Slumber, my day started with one of my least favorite "S" words. After breakfast I started Scrubbing the kitchen floor. There are plenty of chores to take care of before my family descends on Thursday for Thanksgiving dinner. But I am still going to sneak in the cards for Beccy's Place Month of Holiday Cards Challenge. If you haven't figured it out, today's card must include something beginning with a "S".

Meet this fun family of Snowpeople. It's one of Beccy's digital images. Using markers I colored it in Shades of brown and red, then fussy cut with Scissors.

For Sparkle I added 3 cricut cut glitter paper Snowflakes, clear Wink of Stella on the bodies, glitter around the girls' coats, and flocking on the Snowbanks. The Sentiment is a CTMH Stamp from my Stash.

Day #20 of Beccy's Place Month of Holiday Cards

Dasher sure doesn't look like he's ready to dash anywhere.

He's a digi image from the Beccy's Place

Dasher and Dancer digital set.

He is also a Reindeer, which starts with "R",

The card also features a lot of Red, a Ribbon knot, and some tiny Round Red Gems. And I almost forgot the Ribbing in the embossed knit pattern.

Day #19 of Beccy's Place Month of Holiday Cards

Considering the fact that the letter of the day at

Beccy's Place Holiday Card Challenge is "Q",

I believe a Quick post is in order.

I've created a Quarter Fold Card

and used a Quilted embossing folder.

Digi sentiment and image are from Beccy's Place Tied Up With String Digital Set.

Here is the card when opened. The sentiment is also a Beccy's Place digi.


This close up shows some of the details of the embossing folder. The card front is also embossed.

All papers are from CTMH.

The tutorial for the Quarter Fold Card

can be found on Beccy's blog.

Day #18 of Beccy's Place Month of Holiday Cards

Beccy switch things up and, instead of the progressive alphabet challenges, gave us a sketch challenge for Day #18. Not a problem, Beccy. I did a little turning, twisting, and shaking of the sketch and like the final result.
