CAS CHRISTMAS CARD JUNE CHALLENGE REMINDER

Hi friends, one more chance to make a snowman card for the CAS Christmas Card Challenge,

you have until June 24 to get it into the gallery!

I used the Hero Arts November 2020 Card Kit for my images.  I think this snowman is so cute, I nestled him among some snowbanks.

Go see what the designers have made for your inspiration!

CAS CHRISTMAS CARD JUNE CHALLENGE ~ SNOWMAN

Welcome friends to our JUNE CAS CHRISTMAS CARD CHALLENGE brought to us by Hideko and SNOWMEN!  I love snowmen, don't you?  They are like snowflakes, no two alike, which is a good thing because then I can have lots of snowmen stamps and they are all different!  *wink *wink

My stamp is from:  Whipper Snapper:  Last Man Standing!

I used a Poppy Stamps die frame called "Let it Snow" Frame

and then I stamped and colored in the snowman and the two wonky trees.

Halfway through this year, so we best kick it up a notch and make more Christmas cards before the time is upon us!  Please check out the inspiration from our guest Steph and the design team and I will look forward to seeing your card in the gallery!

MIM # 159 No Sew Quilted Cards

Hi friends!  I am back from a wonderful trip to the south!  we spent one day at Augusta walking the golf course and watching a practice round of the Masters!!...that would be for my husband!  Then we drove to Savannah and spent a day and a half there before heading to Charleston and Mount Pleasant, then heading back to Savannah for another night, then to Atlanta for the trip home...just enough to wet my appetite for more of that southern hospitality and WEATHER!  Today, Sunday, after church I spent the day in the gym watching a granddaughter play a volleyball tournament and such a shame, the weather was perfect...sunny, blue skies and 72 degrees...reminded me of the south!  As soon as I got home, I wanted to try that MIM with the no sew quilted card...was hoping to combine it with the Merry Monday, but that challenge is already closed, so her is the card I made:

I selected some pattern paper from Lawn Fawn:  Peace, joy love.

The little snowman is from the Tremendous Treats:  Christmas colored with copics

I used the circle impression plate for my "quilted" look!

 

Thanks for taking a look...it is midnight eastern time, so must be time for bed...

hopefully I can play with some more challenges tomorrow!

 

Heart Hugs,

Colleen

Merry Monday ~ a Snowman theme

The challenge this week at Merry Monday  is to use a snowman on the card...can you believe I have had this stamp for over a year (maybe 2??)...it came from Paper Zone when they were shutting down and I got it for 50% off...it is a Hero Arts Stamp called "Share the Joy"...I stamped him (him...because I colored him in those blues and greens~ Ha~) on the card, then stamped him again and colored and fussy cut him out.  I die cut the snowflake with some new Glitzy Glitter paper I bought at JoAnn's...really cool stuff, I used the silver along the side of the sentiment paper also.  I stamped the sentiment with versamark and embossed with silver embossing powder. 
                                                      
Paper:  MME: Merry Little Christmas, DCWV: Glitzy Glitter, PTI white
snowflake die is MFT
copics
silver embossing powder  
                I hope you will play along and start getting those Christmas cards done!!
                We lost our power for about an hour...lots of wind and rain today ~ hope you all have a great weekend!!

Heart Hugs,
Colleen
