Freshly Made Sketches 167 Meets ColourQ 273

Today I’m playing along with two challenges – Freshly Made Sketches 167 and ColourQ 273 – with a card created using Reverse Confetti supplies. It’s fun creating with some fresh colors and themes. I love Christmas cards, and I’ll miss making them, but I’m ready for some bright color combinations!

Rather than stamp the flamingo, I simply die cut its body and wing (out of Calypso Coral cardstock), stamping the beak and eye on the body. I stamped the circle and rectangle with the flamingo legs and lined them up.

Penny Black Leap of Joy

A little sparkle and shine today with the Penny Black 51-062 Leap of Joy die cut taking center stage (again!). The deer is cut from a brushed gold cardstock. This has certainly been the “year of the deer”!

To the patterned paper card panel, I added snowflakes cut with the 51-066 Crystal Trio set (cut from gold and white glitter cardstock).  I cut the Merry sentiment from the 51-021 Love & Joy set and attached it to a banner cut with the 51-027 Triple Banner set.

Comfort & Joy – Holiday Donuts!

Today, I’m sharing a “just because” holiday card playing on the Reverse Confetti sentiment -“Tidings of comfort & joy.”

Comfort & Joy - Holiday Donuts!

I cut the donut bases with the large and small circles in the Donut You Know Confetti Cut set. Then I cut the icing tops with the icing die and small circle in holiday colors. I added heart sprinkles in red, green and white.

May your holiday week be filled with comfort and joy!

Curtain Call – Candy Cane

I’m playing along with the Curtain Call Candy Cane Challenge.

With the Christmas holiday just around the corner, I’m finding myself creating quick cards using my on-hand supplies.

I die cut white cardstock with the Lifestyle Crafts Antlers die allowing room below for a heat embossed Stampin’ Up sentiment. After adding the sentiment, I adhered the panel, cut with a rectangle die, over Candy Cane striped patterned paper. I then added the panel to a red cardstock base.

I also put together another quick card using a positive Antlers die cut. I cut some patterned paper for the background and added a square frame, cut with the largest die in the MFT Die-namics Square Frames set.

Off to do some last minute holiday shopping!

Reverse Confetti December SFYTT

I’m playing along with this month’s Sketch for You to Try at Reverse Confetti  using a stamped sentiment and snowflakes from the Let It Snow Confetti Cuts set.

To create the inlaid snowflake circles, I ran the snowflake die (from the Let It Snow Confetti Cuts set) placed inside a circle die through my Big Shot. I repeated for each of the five colors. I then cut the snowflakes again out of silver foil paper. I removed the snowflakes from the colored circles, put some Scotch tape on the back and placed the silver foil snowflakes inside. I added a silver glitter strip to the card base to tie in the silver-and-sparkle theme. I also heat embossed the sentiment, from the Tinsel ‘N Trim set, with silver powder, and cut it with the Tag Me banner
