Hello, Happy Monday! It’s time for another challenge over at Merry Monday! This weeks challenge is brought to you by Linda. She has challenged us to create a Christmas card using the inspiration photo below.
My design this week I used dies and patterned paper so this one was easy to create. I went for a vintage look on this design. I die cut the main panel with the Tim Holtz Stacked Deckle Thinlits out of Bazzill Taffy cardstock. The Memory Box Shinning Candles was die cut out of “Stampin’ Up Gold Foil, Garden Green cardstock, Bazzill Red Hots. I blended Vintage Photo Distress ink around the edges.
Crafty Supplies
Paper: Bazzill (Taffy, Red Hots) Stampin Up (Gold Foil, Garden Green) Kaiser Kraft (Silent Night paper pack)
Ink: Distress (Vintage Photo)
Accessories: Memory Box Shinning Candle Die, Tim Holtz Stacked Deckle Thinlits,

Hello, Welcome back to another fun week over at Tic Tac Toe challenge. I’m late getting this post up today I have some serious catching up.I spent most of last Saturday at Kathy Racoosin 30 Day Coloring Challenge Road Trip. The event was at Lawn Fawn in Rancho Santa Margarita. It was a blast I met tons of new crafty friends.
For my design this week I chose the elements middle row across (watercoloring, any accents, monogrammed). I wanted to try the
technique Jennifer used last week with embossing and distress inks and using watercoloring to remove the ink.

Hello, Happy Monday! It’s time for another challenge over at Merry Monday! This weeks challenge is brought to you by Kelly. She has challenged us to create a Christmas card using the inspiration photo below.
For my design this week I kept things pretty simple, I used the patterned paper from the SSS Limited Edition Christmas 2017 Kit. The greenery from the trees in the patterned paper reminds me of the topiary plants on the table in the photo.
I used the SSS Stars & Dot stencil to add stars to the background and heat embossed with SSS Fine Detail Gold (EP), The sentiment is from the Essentials By Ellen – Season To Sparkle stamp set, I heat embossed it as well with the Gold (EP). To finish my design I die cut the patterned paper panel with a stitched rectangle die and adhered unto an A2 Top Fold Neenah (80lb) card base.
Crafty Supplies
Paper: Neenah Solar White (80lb), SSS Limited Editions Christmas (2017) Kit patterned papers.
Stamp: Essentials By Ellen (Season to Sparkle)
Ink: VersaMark Clear
Accessories: SSS Fine Detail Gold (EP), SSS Stars & Dot Stencil
