It’s Merry Monday... my crafty friends! This week Debbie has challenged us to create a Christmas card from the sketch below. For my take on the sketch I went patterned paper and plenty of layers.
For my card I pulled out a 12×12 Simple Stories Claus & Co. Collection. I mounted the string lights pattern onto a Neenah Solar White Top-Fold card base. I adhered the ho,ho,ho journal card with a slight offset onto a Neenah panel. I die-cut the stars with the MFT Stars, Moon Die-namics and placed them on the corner of the journal card. To finish off my card I added a few Nuvo Crystal Drops in Bottle Green.

Welcome to this week’s Merry Monday challenge! This week, Deanne challenged us to add a tree to our cards. I went with a Charlie Brown Christmas theme. You can head over to the challenge HERE and check out the beautiful designs created by the rest of the Design Team.
For my card this week, I stamped the Mama Elephant O Tiny Tree image onto Ranger watercolor paper with Ranger Distress inks in Gathered Twigs, Shabby Shutters, Forest Moss. I then used a Pental watercolor brush to give the image a slight watercolored look. I stamped the Christmas ornament with Memento Tuxedo black ink and Copic colored it with (R46) added some shimmer with a Sakura Glitter Pen. I die cut the watercolor panel and a (4.25×5.25) sheet of patterned paper from an old Authentique Retro Christmas 6×6 paper pad with the SSS Stitched Rectangle dies.
To finish my card I blended some Gathered Twig Distress ink around the edges to give it a lonely vintage look (You remember that lonely tree on Charlie Brown Christmas) and to forgo adding a sentiment. I adhered both panels onto a (SU) Wild Wasabi A2 Top Fold card base. Thanks for stopping by………

Hello! Welcome back to another Merry Monday challenge this week Sue’s theme is for us to add a decorated tag to your card using texture, bling and die cuts. I’ll say this one was a bit of a challenge for me. I think my creative flow went out the door and was struggling to come back.
For my design this week I went deep into the crafty stash and pulled out an old MMH Card kit. I stamped the poinsetta and leaves images onto Neenah Solar white card and die cut them out with the dies included in the kit. The tag was die cut with a stitched tag die. To finish off my card I added Nuvo Crystal drops in mustard to the center of the flowers and Ranger Glitter Glue for texture onto the leaves. A few crystal elements in Ruby was placed randomly onto the tag. The sentiment was stamped and heat embossed with Ranger Lime Green EP. I then adhered the panel onto an Neenah Solar White card base.
