The Flower Challenge #109 - Reminder

I have enjoyed my time as a member of The Flower Challenge and heaven knows I have a ton of flower stamps and dies.  Even though the challenge is closing down after the winner reveal on January 4th, I will still be having fun making floral cards. 

My card uses the Festive Blooms die from Concord and 9th.  I played with it when I first got it and can't remember what paper I used but I love how this technique works.  I also can't find where I filed the die to look at it and explain, other than to say there is a coverplate that lays out the Design and you add the die cuts to it.  I've gone through most of my dies already but it's nowhere to be found.  I hope it didn't get left behind at the lake this summer.  The sentiment is from Spellbinders.  

Thanks again to everyone who participated in our challenges over the years.

Freshly Made Sketches #716, Can You Handle the Pressure? and Krafty Chicks #798

I've been busy with cookie making and almost forgot about the Freshly Made Sketches challenge.  I'm glad I checked on it this morning so I could get a card made in time.

I didn't use my TH Dash Away All die at all this holiday season so I pulled it out and cut it three times in black.  Spellbinder's Cosmic Sky was cut with an MFT circle and stamped and heat embossed with their Brush Splatter Background.  That was placed on a panel embossed with an older 2D snowflake folder from Sizzix.  The sentiment is from Penny Black cut with a Sizzix banner die.  

I'm also sending this to Can You Handle the Pressure? where the option is "Any Holiday" and to Krafty Chicks for their Christmas challenge. 

Thanks for dropping by and spending a bit of your busy day with me.

Color Hues #123

It's pink and green at Color Hues and I made another Christmas card.

I already made a card using the Waffle Flower Poinsettia Frame die (you can see it here) but it works great with the challenge colors.  I used Distress Inks in Spun Sugar, Kitsch Flamingo, Bundled Sage, Rustic Wilderness and Picked Raspberry.  The background is Timeworn Type from SU! and the silver embossed sentiment is from PFS. I like to make Christmas cards all year long so this won't be the last one you see.

Double D Christmas Wrapping and Christmas Kickstart #105

Sometime during a sale I got a couple of items from Sunny Studio and one was their Perfect Gift Boxes.  They're really meant for birthdays but I thought they'd be cute as Christmas gifts and made this card. 

The boxes and bows are all cut from ancient scraps.  The back panel is from Reverse Confetti cut in white with a green panel behind.  Another smaller panel was cut and embossed with the Graceful Holly from SSS.  The silver embossed sentiment is from Alex Syberia.  

The Double D challenge is Christmas Wrapping and Christmas Kickstart's is "Anything Christmassy Goes" so my card will head off to both of them.
