CAS Christmas July Challenge ~ Snowflake

Less than 6 months till Christmas friends!

I hope that you are inspired to make a Christmas card with a snowflake on it...if you want to get out of the heat, than try some snowflakes on your card!  Bonnie is our hostess for this CAS Christmas Challenge.

I die cute a couple of snowflakes and from the base card stock I colored some purple copics knowing that the die would cover all but the shape of the snowflake.  Then over the copic I spread some Nuvo glitter paste (moonstruck).  When it was dry I adhered the die cut paper over the top.  I embossed the sentiment with HA silver ep. I saw this technique HERE.

 

I hope you will go check out all the fabulous snowflakes over at CAS Christmas and be inspired to make a Christmas card!  I look forward to seeing it in the gallery!

Heart Hugs, friends!

25 Days of Christmas Tags Day 1 Second tag

This is my second post for the 25 Days of Christmas Tags over at Tracey's blog.

I figured I better make more than one a day as I have daughters that come and take tags from my stash!!  I used Tracey's tag for my inspiration from Day 1, the snowflakes are from

Casual Friday's Bring on the Snowflakes and Snowy Sayings which were bought as part of the Stamps of Approval Cellection!

A Snowflake Card

I finally got to play with the stamps from the Stamp of Approval Kit.

This was designed with Michelle from CAS-UAL Fridays along with

Catherine Pooler.  I love these snowflakes and the dies are really unique.

I am casing a card by Kay Miller...I changed the colors, but kept the layout.

Thanks for stopping by!

Merry Monday # 158 Stencil

Merry Monday Challenge this week calls for a stencil.

I sponged on some Distress inks for a night sky background after adhering my Memory Box: Delicate Snowflake to my cardstock.

I die cut the PTI's Damask Snowflake from white, vellum and patterned vellum paper for a three layer snowflake.  I used the Button Stacks dies in blueberry sky and winter wisteria for the center of the snowflake.

The sentiment is from Paper Smooches: A Blessed Christmas.

 

I hope you will check out the inspiration from the design team and get ahead of your Christmas cards for this coming year! 

Have a great week Friends!

Festive Friday # 24

Festive Friday has a really pretty picture for the inspiration challenge.

I pulled out a Hero Arts set that had lots of snowflakes and an ornament, it doesn't have a name as it was a demo product that I won.

What I saw in the picture was lots of white and gold and twine and also some pinecones.

The design team has some awesome cards for your inspiration too.

I think this challenge is getting ready to end, so better hurry if you want to join in the fun!

Heart Hugs,

Colleen
