It’s Merry Monday… my crafty friends! This week Kelly has challenged us to create a Christmas card by adding an ornament. I went a little more traditional.
For my card I die cut a piece of Black Licorice cardstock with the MFT Die-namics Rectangle Stax set 1 dies and used the border as a frame. I then cut a 4×5.25 piece of plaid pattern paper from the Paper Studio 12 Days of Christmas 8×8 paper pad that I picked up from Hobby Lobby yesterday. I also die cut a piece of X-Press It Blending Card with the SSS Stitched Rectangle die. I stamped the ornament image form the Penny Black Most Wonderful stamp set onto the Xpress- It paper and Copic colored with various copic markers.
To finish my card I adhered the frame and plaid patterned paper onto an A2 size Neenah card base. A few Nuvo Crystal drops in Gloss Berry Red were added randomly onto the art panel.

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………
