A Beautiful Season for Monkey Challenge #86: Holidays and BLOG CANDY!

I like natural and non-glittery Christmas cards, as well as the sparkly snowmen. This card follows a sketch on the A La Card Monkey blog. The bird image comes from the Beautiful Season stamp set, with the words from Petite Pairs. The big scallop circle came from the Perfect Pennants die for the Big Shot, and there's Hollyberry Bouquet dsp on the card too.

I'm providing the Warmest of Wishes stamp set for BLOG CANDY for this challenge. Whoo hoo!!!

Lots of little Jolly Bingo Bits for Monkey Challenge #80

I'm pretty happy with the way this card turned out. I started with Just Eat Cake dsp layered on a Baja Breeze card, then, using the A La Card Monkey Sketch Challenge #80, I stamped nine of the images from Jolly Bingo Bits and layered them on a 3-3/8" square of Poppy Parade card stock. They're so cute! The sentiment is from Beautiful Season.

In addition to Dazzling Diamond glitter, I used a red Sharpie to color these small rhinestones for berries on the holly. What do you think?

Beautiful Season and Snow Much Fun Christmas cards

Here are two of the five cards we made at a Christmas 10-card class. The top one is a much simpler case of a Diane Vander Galien card. The word stamps were used inside. It uses the Beautiful Season stamp set. Below, is a Pool Party card featuring Snow Much Fun stamps and Domestic Goddess dsp, along with a strip of ruffled Calypso Coral ribbon.

I'll be posting the five cards from tonight's 10-card class over the weekend, so be sure to check back.
