Hi friends! It’s Monday and time for another challenge at Merry Monday! This weeks challenge is bought to you by Deanne. She has challenged us to create a Christmas card using a stencil. I hope you get a chance to play along with us this week.

For my design this week I blended Bundled Sage, Pine Needle, Gathered Twig Distress inks onto Koh-I-Nor Bristol card with the Memory Box Garden Holly stencil. I added Nuvo Crystal Drops in Red Berry to create the berries. I splattered some FineTec Pearlescent colors onto the background.

I stamped the Merry Christmas sentiment from Simon Says Stamp Stain Glass Greeting stamp with VersaMark ink unto Stampin Up Real Red Cardstock and heat embossed with Ranger Liquid Platinum (EP), The sentiment was then adhered onto the stenciled panel. I then adhered unto an A2 Top Fold Stampin Up Garden Green cardstock.

Hi friends! It’s Monday and time for another challenge at Merry Monday! This weeks challenge is bought to you by Colleen. She has challenged us to create a Christmas card from the photo inspiration below. I hope you get a chance to play along with us this week.

I stamped the Stampendous Parchment Candle stamp onto X-Press It Blend card, colored with various Copic Markers. The image was cut out with my Brother Scan N Cut. Since this image looks like it’s on an old scroll I wanted to give it a distress look. I distressed the edges added some antique linen and gathered twigs around the edges.

To complete the card I adhered it onto an A2 Top Fold Garden Green card base.

Hello and Welcome to another challenge at Merry Monday! This weeks challenge is bought to you by Sue. She has challenged us to use pastel colors for our Christmas card. I hope you get a chance to play along with us this week. You can check out the rest of the Design Team designs HERE!

For my design this week I use a panel of the Kohi I-Noor Bristol card and ink blended a soufflé of Distress inks onto the panel (Peacock Feathers, Scattered Straw, Worn Lipstick, Picked Raspberry). The panel was die cut with the SSS Ring Wreath twice (once with Neenah) the ornaments were inlayed into the die cut and a few were adhered with foam dots for dimension. The sentiment is from the SSS/Avery Elle Merry Mistletoe Stamptember collaboration stamped with Mama Elephant (Dark Storm Ink). This card was pretty easy to pull together.

To finish my card I added a few Ranger Gold Stickles and a loosely tied bow with Gold Twine. I hope you’ll join in the fun this week!

Crafty Supplies

Stamp: SSS/Avery Elle Merry Mistole

Happy Monday… my crafty friends I’m back with another card for this weeks Merry Monday Christmas challenge. This week Nina challenged us to create a Christmas card with snow. You can read all about the challenge HERE and also see what the rest of the design team created this week.

My design this week I wanted to use the Avery Elle Dashing through the Snow stamp set. I blended Peacock Feathers, Chipped Sapphire Distress inks onto (4×5.25) panel of Kohi I-Noor Bristol card, I die cut the Lawn Fawn Snowy Backdrop and used it as a stencil to add the snowy look to my night sky background. I used a sponge dauber to add the VersaMark ink and heat embossed with Stampendous Fine Detail (EP). The snowy hills was die cut out of Neenah Solar white card and ink blended with a little Chipped Sapphire distress ink to match the background.

I stamped the image from the stamp set and Copic colored with various Copic Markers (YG95,97,99 BG9, 11,13, 18 R46,BG57, Y13, E37) and cut it out with my Brother Scan N Cut. The sentiment was stamped with VersaFine Onyx ink, to finish off my card I splattered a few droplets of Copic Opaque White and my Sakura White Gelly Roll pen to add snow onto the car and tree and adhered onto an A2 Neenah Solar White card base. I hope you like my take on this weeks challenge don’t forget to head on over and play along with us this week.
