Double D - Santa/Snowman and NBUS #81

I waited until I got my new Santa Greetings dies to make a card for Double D, made it right away and then it sat until now.  Things have been rather busy so I'm glad I made it when I did.

I think he is just the cutest Santa.  He's cut from colored cardstock except for his beard, trim and face.  The face was colored with Altenew artist markers.  The letters come with the set and I cut them from Spellbinders Antique Treasured Cardstock. The background was cut with a SB Stylish Oval and embossed with their Evergreen folder.  

Since Santa is new, he's headed off to Darnell's NBUS Challenge. 

I know it's a busy time and I'm grateful that you took some time to visit.

Color Hues #122

Silver and Teal.  What a beautiful combination for a Color Hues challenge.  And for a Christmas card.

It all started with the PFS Ornaments hot foil plate in silver.  The ornaments are stenciled using Altenew Aqualicious and Teal Cave and Lisa Horton silver.  Then it was decision time for the background.  I used Spellbinder's Evergreen folder, inking it with the silver to deboss the leaves.  Recollections silver was added for a border and hanging strips and a panel edge was inked with  Aqualicious for another border.  The sentiment is from the same stamp set.  

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

Double D Ornaments

I made a lot of Christmas cards with ornaments on them but got out an older die to make one for Double D. 

Once I decided to use Mod Ornament from SSS I had to decide what to cut it from.  I searched my Bits box and found an alcohol panel that would look beautiful. The cuts are interspersed with the gold cut frame.  I used the leftover panel to cut a border for SB's Modern Ovals, embossing the white layer with Timeworn Type.  It's all on a panel embossed with SB's Evergreen to which is added a gold embossed sentiment from PFS. There are a lot of layers and textures on this card. 

All the Christmas cards I have been showing lately will add to my stash for next year.  It's great to get a head start.  How about you?

Inkspirational #328

I have another card made with the PFS ornaments that had been colored last year.  This one is for Inkspirational - Layer It!

The gray background was embossed with Spellbinders Evergreen and Penny Black's Classy Frames layered onto it three times with the top one in silver.  The center was inserted back in for a backdrop for the ornaments and the branch from TH.  The silver embossed sentiment from PFS is also layered for dimension. 

Thanks for dropping by.  I hope your week goes well.
